Doesn't work in my browser (Firefox). All I see is a big white box with "Planter Box" and a notice about downloading PDF Reader (which I already have).

Hah! Yeah, I say that to someone at least once a week "well it works on my machine". Trouble is I still have to try and work out why it doesn't work on their machine.
I reckon it's got something to do with the way it's embedded in the page. Never seen a PDF come up like that before. I reckon you'd be better to just have a link to the PDF on the page. Or at least put a link to it at the top of the page as well for suckers like me who don't have the right plugin installed.

Well, it didn't work for my Firefox browser either, but the latest link does.
So what plugin am I missing out on?:?

I don't know. Theoretically it should work if you have Acrobat Reader installed. Maybe it's not registered correctly or something.

You need version 8 of adobe, I couldnt upload the file Stinky sent until I had updated.

Although Stinky has done a terrific job on the site in general, I have to agree with silent that it would be better if the pages were not actually embedded. I would then still have access to all the tools that I normally use in Adobe such as a magnifier, or fit to width etc.
But that is a relatively minor quibble on such a great job.
ps there is a picture on the "replacing a brick" page that will not load as I apparently don't have permission to view it.

Im still learning the ins and outs of the software, I cant see how else I could have a pdf file though
But that is a relatively minor quibble on such a great job.

The picture in question doesnt have any permissions set, I look into it.
Thanks Bob for the feed back.

:Edit: I have had a look at the picture Bob and its just a plain old everyday Jpg, so I dont know why you cant see it?

Replace this:
<div id="wb_Plugin1" 1259px;896px;826px;z-index:3" align="left">
<embed src="SIMPLE PLANTER.pdf" id="Plugin1" border="0" autostart="false" loop="false" width="896" height="826" Planter Box="">
</div>
With this:
<a href="SIMPLE PLANTER.pdf">Simple Planter.pdf</a>

Its a start.

I am being a little bit of a smart asre :D
In your WYSIWYG thingy there should be a button to insert a link, like when you put in a link to another page or web site. If you get rid of the embedded PDF and replace it with one of them, or even just add it to the page in addition to whats already there, then you will have covered all bases.

That is really good stuff there Al. Well done to all your helpers.
BUT, I still cannot get to view the brick. I clicked on the brick and I got :
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /images/Insert brick.jpg on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Hmmm, I also just clicked onto the Dutch jointer link on that same page and got a pageful of picture place holders. (with the titles on the backgrounds) I am using Firefox but that shouldn't be a problem. All the picture files on this page purport to be of type .png
