One of my favorite programs was Tomorrows World which showcased new inventions. I remember the two guys that accidently came up with a compound that painted inside a car tyre would instantly seal a puncture. I think they even drilled a hole in a tyre and it only lost about 1-2psi.

I found that the BBC has posted all the episodes which I am now going to wade through. The first on the list is "1966 Children imagine life in the year 2000.

Only a few photos that should be on it are still missing, but I still have to figure that out. But the basics work, I am happy with this. Greetings, Philip

This may be due to you not publishing all pages to disk folder. Your photos will be in the wpimages folder, in a folder you have created, or in the root folder.

Joe

In Webplus with your website loaded goto:

File > Publish Site > Publish to disk Folder
In the popup chose location and folder name, or leave the folder as suggested.
Check the Publish all pages box
Click OK - If you have kept the suggested folder you will be asked if you want it to be created.

On the left hand side in FileZilla if you click on the folder you just created, all the files of your website will be there.

As I have said previously, I have not used FileZilla. However, now that you have all your files, check out Youtube tutorials on how to transfer files to your host.

No, no and thrice no Joe. Perhaps I should take up poetry!

My parents were never interested in football and therefore never did the pools, and as such I was never subjected to the jargon of the pools. I can remember watching "Grandstand" in the 60s and 70s and after the reading of the football results David Coleman always said things like, there were 15 draws and no jackpot, or there were 8 draws and a very good chance of somebody winning the jackpot.

Albert, you're a poet and you didn't know it.

Do you remember doing the pools and did you ever win anything?

Do you remember how they calculated the number of lines i.e. 8 from 11 = 165 lines

A number of contributors over the years have used FileZilla Client https://filezilla-project.org/ to upload their websites and changes. I've never used it but I believe that you would need to publish your site or changes to Disk Folder and then load from there to FileZilla.

Have a look at the size and precision of the stones at Puma Punku.

I've just entered the full link provided by Alfred into a custom playlist 5 times. Each one plays in preview but displays in webplus as in your image.

Check that your videos are entered in the same format especially the https: at the begining of the link. If it says just http:, change it and preview to determine if that was the error.

A fable written by Grok on X

write a fable about a mouse, an elephant and a kangaroo

Once upon a time, in a vast and vibrant forest, there lived a tiny mouse named Milo, an enormous elephant called Elara, and a bouncy kangaroo known as Kip. Each of them had their unique way of navigating the forest's challenges, but none knew of the others until one day, fate brought them together.

Milo the mouse was quick and clever, adept at scurrying through the underbrush to find food. One day, while searching for seeds, he accidentally ventured too far and found himself at the edge of a deep, dark ravine. His small size and quick wit had always served him well, but here, he was trapped, unable to jump or climb back.

Elara the elephant, with her great size and strength, was crossing the forest when she heard Milo's faint squeaks for help. Elara peered over the edge of the ravine, her large eyes spotting the tiny mouse. With her trunk, she gently lowered a strong branch, offering Milo a way out. But as Milo climbed, the branch began to snap under his weight, and he tumbled back down.

Kip the kangaroo, who was hopping nearby, heard the commotion. Known for his agility and long, powerful legs, Kip leapt over to the ravine. He saw Elara's dilemma and quickly thought of a plan. Using his strong hind legs, Kip jumped down to where Milo was, then with a mighty leap, he bounced back up with Milo safely in his pouch.

Once back on solid ground, the trio sat down to rest. Milo, grateful but curious, asked, "Why did you help me when I'm so small and you both are so grand?"

Elara chuckled, her voice deep and warm, "Size doesn't matter when it comes to helping friends. I might be large, but I can't jump like Kip or scurry like you."

Kip nodded, adding, "And I can leap high, but I can't reach down deep like Elara, nor can I find the hidden paths you do, Milo."

Milo smiled, realizing that each of them had unique strengths that, when combined, could overcome even the toughest challenges. From that day forward, the mouse, the elephant, and the kangaroo formed an unlikely friendship. They worked together, helping each other and the other creatures of the forest, teaching everyone that no matter how different one might be, there's always a way to help and be helped.

And so, the moral of the fable is: Unity brings strength, and every creature, no matter how small or large, has something valuable to contribute. In diversity lies not only survival but also the joy of community.

Yes, there are. Chromium is free and open source, and its web page rendering code is also used by many other browsers (the main ones being Microsoft Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, and Brave).

Thanks Alfred I'll try it.

See attached file, download and preview in a browser. Hover over navbar buttons. Instructions are included.

I’m sure you and I aren’t the only ones, Joe! Do you feel the same way about Chromium browsers generally, or is it specifically to do with Chrome’s nasty habit of ‘phoning home’ at every opportunity?

Hi Alfred, I just don't like google as a company who spy on everything you do, sell data and plague you with ads.

When you say chromium browsers generally, are there others besides google?

Try this. Paste the following into Body in an HTML Fragment. and set it to the sizes you enter in the code below

<object class="pdf" 
            data= "atlas01.pdf"
            type="application/pdf"
            width="800"
            height="500">
    </object>

Make sure data= has the same name as your pdf file which you can load via Tools > Site Manager > File Manager > Add file.

I've tried it with Edge, Opera, Firefox and DuckduckGo and it works OK. I won't use Chrome so you will need to test it in that. Chrome prefers to use it's own viewer but see how it goes. The  type="application/pdf" in the code may help.

Nothing that I know of as standard in WYSIWYG will do it. In that case if you have the code and files you can copy them and input into WYSIWYG. You can enter css and javascript by using insert > html. you can add external files via Site Manager.

Also enquire within the WYSIWYG WB forum

Joe

Hi Ali,

Nice to hear from you again.

I wouldn't bother trying to copy the code and integrate it into WYSIWYG web buidler. The program has lots of sliders which can be easily incorporated. They have a version of many of the common sliders, and there are others that you can download. All you need is your text and images.

Merry Christmas,

Joe

I've asked him to post his file on his next post on his other thread but seems to have fallen on deaf ears. Whats the point in trying to help someone who doesn't help themselves?

We are not getting anywhere. We need to see either a website or a copy of your webplus file. If you publish the file to disc and zip the folde, see if you can attach it to your next post.  If not you could email it to me

Comming back to my first post above. You say it's displacing some of the text. Drag the frame containing the text off the page and preview. The text and image should be missing. If so, create a new text frame on the site but dont copy/paste the text from the original frame.
