When i try to export page with a large image as a background and another photo and text on top.
I get the following error
"There are two or more objects that are colliding! You have to move these elements or change the positioning type to absolute."
Nothing is overlapping except for the items on the large background.
I have tried to set positions of images to absolute and relative, but item diappear but cannot figure out how to put it all together
Can or how do I do it.
Thanks Jerry

Jerry,

you should notice a small simbol near objects that are colliding; only relative positioned objects can collide because they cannot be overlapped. A relative object overlaps also when inserted into the page at negative coordinates.

You can:
1- select all your objects (CTRL+A)
2- open the position property window
3- change the position type to absolute

Regards, Davide

It was the negative position of the background. The background had to be set as relative.
All others as absolute.
Thanks Jerry

I am trying to use DHT to create html file that I can paste into Ebay discription. When I paste the code which looks fine when I view in browser, It places pictures at the top of the ebay page, the background is where it is supposed to be. I suspect it it is then absolute position that is doing it. Is there any way to have a background picture with pictures on top that i can generate a page. Oh by the way I think you could sell a lot of prg to ebay users to create their listings, build a option to write the html with nostyle sheet and use a background image.
Thanks Jerry
Thanks

Not sure how ebay works but are you using inline styles,not linked, and image locations like http://www.******/images/your image

If dhe doesn't work try going to www.mailchimp.com open an accout and make the file in their editor--copy then paste

file created in MC is strickly tables/inline styles/absolute locations for all images

I was going to suggest to Davide that the have a button that puts dhe into email creation mode-

I think It would be a killer

I used microsoft publisher to create mypages, but the html code is so verbose I did not want to paste into ebay.
Yes i do change my image links so that they post to the correct location.
I really like DHE but can't get past this image on image thing.
Thanks Jerry

Jerry, why don't you set the background image using the page properties dialog? Maybe this does the trick.

The page is so simple.. check this link http://www.ebayads.org/engine/
Could we have a override of the message of a collision?

The ebay article made by your code is not correct in IE9; some parts overlaps.

In Dynamic HTML Editor try avoid the use of a background; use the image and "send it to back" then use absolute positioned object over it.
