Problem with Spreads using ePubCrawler

      I’m having trouble creating spreads using ePubCrawler. After using the script to create the config.ini, META-INF folder, mimetype and OEBPS file, here is what I did:

      1.From my InDesign file, I created the spread jpgs and named them p2Spread, p4Spread, etc. I deleted the original, single-page jpgs.

      2. I changed the HTML files so that p2 and p3, both referred to the p2Spread img. and so on, for the whole book.

      3.In the content.opf file, I changed the p2. images to p2.Spread, (etc.) and I deleted the odd (rightside)pages.

      4.In the Template css file, I added this coding:
      }
      .leftside,.rightside {
      width: 512px;
      height: 600px;
      overflow: hidden;
      position: relative;
      }

      .leftside img, .rightside img {
      position: absolute;
      height: 600px;
      z-index: -1;
      overflow: hidden;
      }

      .rightside > img {
      left: -100%;
      }

      5.I added either <div id=”leftside”/> or <div id=”rightsideside”/> to each HTML page.

      PROBLEM: The images are displaying as a complete spread on both the left and the right pages, compressed to 50% wide. I tried doubling the viewport width in both the HTML and css files, saving and refreshing, but nothing changed on the image.

      I was SO happy to hear about ePubCrawler! If I can solve this problem, I will be even happier.
      Please help!

      Dear Cheryl,

      Can you please check your e-mail spam filter? I’ve been sending replies to your e-mails but they don’t seem to come through!

      Cheers

      In general, it’s always best to go directly to the developer, rather than rely on support in the forums here. Of course, if you can’t get to the developer for some reason, then the forums might be a way to find others with answers.

      I have gotten through to Kris at ePubCrawler, at last! Apparently, he or she had been emailing me with replies to my questions, but they wound up in my junk mail. I never expect that, so I didn’t think to check. I think I’m on my way to figuring out the last problems I’m having, with Kris’s generous help. WHEW!

      Oh. I just noticed Kris’ photo, above. So, he is not an “or she”. Sorry, Kris, if you’re reading!
