I’m trying to create a news page, which has a headline, text, a date and two images for each individual news item from XML. The text loads in fine, but as soon as images get involved it goes t*ts up. I am really struggling to see where I am going wrong…debugging, there seems to be no problem, it will only display the final images, rather than all six.
:huh:
