Does not seem to support circles.

Why doesn't Everweb support circles. Circles are not part of the shapes menu and you can't copy paste them in, at least not small ones. This is one of the most basic shapes that one uses. An oval is not the same thing. Also, why can't you make your shape very small? If you try to make a shape small, like an oval, either it stops or it turns into another shape like an ellipse.
Is there a way around this? Will this be fixed in the near future? iWeb doesn't have any problem with this.

Can't you use transparent oval with a line around?

A circle is an oval with equal width/height. In fact the "oval" tool you are referring to is added as a circle by default.

If you want to always make sure it is resized at the same width/height you can hold down your shift key as you resize or you can set the Constrain Proportions option under Metrics in the Inspector.

This works exactly as it does in iWeb.

How small do you want to make the circle?

Where are you trying to paste a circle shape from? iWeb?

Paul:
Thank you for your answer.
Shift and Constrain Proportions both work however, the smallest I can get is 25 x 25 px. The circles that I am using in iWeb are 10 x 10 px. and I can't get EverWeb to go there. I have tried to copy/paste from iWeb, but it doesn't work. I just get some weird looking ellipse and metrics in the Inspector doesn't do anything.
I have also tried putting an image in Assets, doesn't work that way either.

Using HTML and CSS to create circles will help your pages load faster and are quite simple to do.

This page shows the idea for creating links on an image map…

http://everwebcodebox.com/links/image-map.html

To simplify it more by removing the border and hyperlink the HTML is…

<div class="circle" style="background: #FF0000"></div>

The background color is placed inline so that it can be quickly changed for different colored circles using the same style in the Head Code which is…

<style type="text/css">
.circle {
width: 5px;
height: 5px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
border-radius: 50%;
border:none;
}
</style>

Change the values for width and height to change the size of the circle.
Add border width, type and color if required like this…

border: 1px solid #000000;

Thanks Roddy, I will get the widget. I upgraded to EW1.1 and I am still having the problems that you and I discussed on your website. I rebuilt my website from the ground up. Everything was fine and at the exact same point as before, the widgets stopped working, new images would not appear on the website until previewed. Now something new. Images are disappearing from my website, right before my very eyes. Unless I am doing something completely off the reservation, this program is not ready for prime time yet.

Can you start a new topic for this problem in case others are experiencing it? Include info such as how you are inserting images.
