Inserting Gadgets

[coolkidz33]

Here's another question that may be a little beyond my knowledge of WE to date but I hope i can do it anyway.

I am trying to make a decent site with and am trying to add a couple of Google gadgets such as weather, maybe a calculator, and a stock ticker. I finally figured out how to get them on the page but they all appear at the top left corner of the page and not where i want them (on the side or somewhere else on the page). Any help or links to any websites that can help me?

Just guessing but betting your using dynamic when you build your site.

Don't use DYNAMIC. Use HTML w/CSS.

Actually it was being built using HTML using CSS. I will try it again but all of my little gadgets show up at the top left corner.

I even created a little box then linked that box to a webpage. I pasted the SCR from google into the link section but it is not working. I have seen a couple of other sites in this forum that had a weather or stock tag on them.

Try this:

01 - Put a placeholder where you want the gadget to go.
02- Select Objects on the menu bar.
03 - Open the "gadgets" folder.
04 - Click on "calendar" or whatever you are inserting.
05 - Click OK.
05 - Drag the item that appears to your page where you want it.
(near the placeholder)
06 - Now highlight the calendar (or whatever) box.
07 - Click on the "tools" on the menu bar.
08 - Click on "custom script assistant"
09 - Be sure to select "Object" event.
10 - Paste you code in the text box.
11 - Click OK
12 - You can move the resulting box to any location.
13 - Remove the original placeholder.

NOTE: This is an "object event." It is not something that you should be placing in the "body events" or "source code" areas.

Good Luck.

Oopps! Forgot this...

On step one - keep the placeholder highlighted - you will dehighlight it later. It is really of no use to you later but facilitates ease of "gadgets."

It might also help if you provided a link for us to view what exactly you are seeing. Sometimes visual recognition will help is assisting. At least it does with me.
