Carousel and HTML

Hi All - Hope you all had a good Crimbo

As part of my new website, I have customer testimonials text panels revolving with carousel action.

To get this to work I had to use graphic text, but would prefer to use the text as html, so it can be read by the search bots.

Can this be done using html text boxes.

Thanks
Mike

Absolutely. If you look at my example Carousel in Freeway , you will see that that’s precisely what’s going on there.

To make the panes of the carousel, first draw an HTML box on the page the precise size you want each pane to be. Then, while that box is still highlighted, draw another HTML box over the top of it to hold the text. (You’ll know you’re doing this correctly if the edges of the first box glow blue as you draw the inner box over it. This indicates that the first box is the parent of the second, rather than the page itself.)

Double-click inside that second box and add and style your text. You can also do as I did and add a photo to the same pane. Click once on the bottom layer, then select the Graphic Box tool and draw your image box directly over the base layer.

What you’re doing here is creating a nested positioned layout. You can also do similar things with a fully inline pane, using floats and padding to create the layout rather than nesting block elements.

Anyway, once you’ve built one such, duplicate it once and apply the Carousel Pane Action to it to mark it as part of your effect, and apply the Carousel Action to the original (which you place where you want the effect to appear). Duplicate the Carousel Pane element a few more times, and then update each pane to have its own unique content. You should be able to replace your graphic text with HTML in no time.
