Difficulty in inserting Banners on to website

Prem Bhandari · #1 (**permalink**) 09-12-2008, 07:11 PM

I have saved several clickable banners on my computer at 'my pictures' and 'my documents'. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO INSERT THEM ON TO MY WEBSITE. These clickable banners are from various merchants who have agreed to let me have their banners on my website

My PC saved these banners in htm or mht format. My website Editor does not allow any htm or mht formatted banners; it allows only gif or jpeg.

1) I would appreciate to learn how to save these banners on my computer in gif or jpeg format, or
2) the way to convert htm and mht formatted banners in to gif or jpeg, or
3) any other way to resolve this

*my website was designed by eDynamo with Dreamweaver program

Look forward to receiving your advice.

Thanks
Prem Bhandari

you don't insert the whole file you just insert the code into your page.

Thanks for your response.
The Banners have a lengthy code which is copied and saved on my computer. Then it is loaded on to the website with the help of onsite Editor. This editor does not allow htm or mht formatted banners/images...
For some unknown reasons the website designer could do all this without a hitch.
Website is designed on dreamweaver program, I have hp desktop with windows xp media edition with Internet explorer.

Can you add code to your webpages?

No, because I don't know how.

My website is hosted by Hostmonster.com who have tools to create and manage.
-In their File Manager folder I clicked on
-public_html, then on index.php, then edit
I hav not been able to figure out What and How the Next step is taken.
This is the latest manner of attempt I have adopted

Any ideas and advice will be appreciated

I'm afraid there's no way to save these advertisements as regular image files. There is only one way to display these types of ads, the code which is in those files you saved, not the files themselves, must be added to your pages. The code must be cut and pasted into your page, not uploaded via some content management system. There is no way to do this.

normally after you edit you index.php, just copy the htm code in the index.php file.
few options.
1. edit your index.php on file manager
2. usually the htm code will be placed on the body or header, say your index.php contains

Code:

<body>
...your banner code here
...
...
</body>

3. your htm code should look like,

Code:

<a href="the affiliate link"><img src="the image location sometimes residing on affiliate site"></a>

4. save the file and you are ready to go.

I am willing to help you if you want to place the code here
