I could be wrong as I haven't looked at the vb6 envirnment for a while, but can't you just add a picture box or something? I'm not so sure thats for vb6- DHTML. It's the only thing I can think of without seeing the IDE, and I don't have it because I'm at work. What controls can you add? if any.

tagurn? did you mean tagurl? I have never heard that term before, and google doesn't return much. if you can add a image box, isnt there a property there for an img? You could always try loading it dynamicly. truthfully, I never really looked at vb6 and the DHTML feature very much. I'm just curious to know why you are choosing to do it this way, if you are just learning it for fun and exploring, then its all good, but I wouldn't recommend using for a real website. Sorry I can't think of much more.

what would you reccommend for a site?

I would recommend that you learn (X)HTML first, at least as far as the basics are concerned, then pick a server-side language other than VB. When you can build a simple page with a few lines of text and an image (no matter how ugly), then you're at least semi-prepared to build one dynamically. Building a page with a WYSIWYG editor might get you a page, but doesn't really teach you what you're doing or lend itself to developing marketable skills.

just use plain HTML, and CSS. If you need client side scripting, use javascript, and if you need server side scripting, use php, asp or cgi scripts. Get an ht,ml editor of some kind. I can't think of too many, other than Dreamweaver, which is what I use (only for colored syntax, not WYSIWYG). Just look up html editors on google, and you will find a bunch. Some free, some not free, I personally wouldnt spend any moneyu on one.
