That was troublesome. It did not work, when I copied drmikes work from this page. Then I copy/pasted it to a Microsoft Works document and without any editing at all I copy/pasted it from there to the blog. And then it worked. Unexplainable…

It’s a very interesting and useful thing, though. Cool workaround.

I sorry to bother you about this again, but I do it wrong now again and I don’t know what the mistake is. I’m trying to hide this video: http://video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=b7818ba6b:11050f15655:1d55&st=1169590384734&mp=WMP&cpf=true&fvn=9&fr=112806_063055_552c2fa1x10f30bc0319x785a&rdm=95326.76267677304

under this picture: http://i11.tinypic.com/308jncx.jpg

and I use the same formula as written by dr.mike in this thread. But no luck. Is it necessary to type a new picture name? It just ads to the number of mistakes, an ignorant like me can make. Couldn’t I have a standard name for all pictures instead?

Would someone please be kind enough to write the correct video/picture url for me? I hope that I will be able to learn, if I see one more example. I still haven’t understood the principle…

Edit: sorry about the long url.

It is impossible. I can’t get it right.

I am a bit sad, there is no response in this thread but that life. I will give it a few more minutes and then I’ll just give up. I seems, there is no help today. Can’t win them all as they say….

Hi there,
When we do not know the answer to the question posed we do not respond. This was the case for me and apparently for others too. Perhaps another blogger will respond. If they don’t then you will have to send a feedback into staff. :)

Thank you timethief. But I drop it. I wrote an ordinary link instead. Besides it was the wrong link. The right video is this one below in case other bloggers would like to see it. But just forget about fixing the problem. These things happen. :-D

Arrrgh! I am not a clever student. I still can’t make this work. Please help me find the error in this. I can’t hide a link under a picture. It is a video link:

<*a hr*ef=”http://www.daily*motion.com/relevance/search/israel/video/x5yoj_clip-shoah-israel” title=”Holocaust Vi*deo”><img src=”http://i16.tin*ypic.com/454g2m1.jpg” alt=”Holocaust Vi*deo” /><*/a>

Well, we can embed dailymotion stuff now. There’s a walkthru on the FAQ blog. I’d just do that.

This new problem is a bit more difficult. I would like to display an animated widget on my blog and I already do. Screenshot:

But I think the clever folks behind the widget have too big an ego. It is too much with both an animation and a link. And I do not want it centered. I did try to write “left” instead but now the link does not work…

How do I hide their link under the animation? This is their HTML code:


<A href=”http://www.nationalterroralert.com”target=blank>
<IMG border=”0″ src=”http://www.nationalterroralert.com/advisory7.gif”
width=”177″ height=”20″></A>
<A href=”http://www.nationalterroralert.com/overview.htm”target=blank>
Homeland Security Live Alert</A>

The homepage where the HTML came from is this here:
