I am trying to insert a VSD page into the shop home page in Creator following the instructions here:
http://www.coffeecup.com/help/articles/how-to-embed-a-vsd-website-into-shopping-cart-creator/
When I preview the page in VSD everything is fine (display1.jpg)
However when I cut and paste the code into SCC and publish everything gets moved around (display2.jpg)
Does anyone know what could be causing this? The VSD page is created at 800x600 so it should fit. About the only thing I can see with my rudimentary html knowledge is that the instructions say to only paste between the <body> tags but the container rules (which I assume provide a boundary) are outside the <body> tags.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there Christopher,
Can you please post a link to your shopping cart. Quite often it is easier to help when we can see it live. That being said based on what I see on these images did you forget to upload the folder files that VSD exported?

Did you paste everything in the body tags or everything including the body tags?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Yes, the CSS rules from the <head> section appear to be missing.
Since I don't use either of the programs, VSD and SCC, I'm not familiar with the mechanics of how exactly to add them.
But Eric, Steve, Gunsmoke and others know all about those things...

You may want to consider using option 2.

Just a quick note before we get to deep into this. You are using CCs audio player, and that is FLASH. No one with an iphone, ipad, or anyone that doesn't have and/or doesn't want to use the adobe flash player is going to be able to see that content or access it. With HTML5 supporting audio players of various types, are you sure you want that in your page?
As far as you 'problems', Steve hit it. A link to the shop would be great. And did you upload all the files/folders required both for the VSD site and the audio player?
I vote for option 2 also.

Everything within the tags, not the tags themselves.
Thanks for the feedback so far. As far as I can tell everything has uploaded OK, the pics are all there and the player works it is just that everything is out of alignment. The website is intothepitrecords.com but I have just used a placeholder image for now so it doesn't look unsightly.
So for option 2 I would publish from VSD to another folder (say http://www.intothepitrecords.com/frontpage/) and then use the html
<iframe "http://www.intothepitrecords.com/frontpage/index.html" frameborder="0" height="800" width="600">You need a Frames Capable browser to view this content.</iframe>
I'll give it a try later today after work and see if that does the trick.

I would use an iframe.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, the iframe worked and seems to be a bit simpler than option 1.
