 Topic: Date on Graphic
Posted: 26 January 2004 at 1:04am |
I am not sure if this is possible. Does anyone know if it is possible to insert the date on a graphic? I know that you would have to use either javascript or ASP to show the current date on a web page? If it is possible to display the date on a graphic that was created in Fireworks, how do you accomplish this? Thanks!

I've heard that you could get dinamic text to place on a layer in a flash movie. Not sure though. What I know is that you coud place text over an image with ASPJpeg. But it would be over, not within.

I cannot use Flash for this case. Do you have a good example of ASPJpeg that I could see on a web site somewhere? Thanks!

I don't have one for the moment, but you could go to their site and look for it...

What technique you use depends upon why you want the date over the graphic.
- If you're trying to mung up the graphic to discourage picture leeches, you're better off to do it directly in Fireworks, with ASPJpeg as the second choice.
- If you're displaying the date over a graphic because that's where your design calls for the current date to be, use tables or css to postion the graphic under the date.
- If you want to do something like #2 but with a font that's not commonly found on end users computers, Check out asp routines that display graphical counters. Use that instead of the text date in #2.

#2 applies to this case. I am somewhat lost. I will have to use ASP or Javascript to display the date. One of my clients wants the date to be displayed on the logo which is a .gif format. I have a .png format of the file.
Do you mean that I would put the code for the date under the graphic? The date will need to be on the right side of the logo rather than the left side.

I set up an example of #2 at http://www.pyers.com/stuff
In the example, the graphic has a transparent area that extends to the right, so the date looks like it's to far to the right because it lines up with the graphic. Your logo would probably be filled in that area.

the suggestion of using CSS to position is the best (and least taxing on the server and not requiring a 3rd party component)
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp is more info on placing stuff precisely
