Hi Helen, Glad you found a solution.
Please note the usage of Elements.GetElement rendertag reduced page load time and general project performance because the entire page object need to be loaded into memory prior to element inspection. The usage is generally not recommended by OpenText Consultant services and is considered a project red flag. Also, Element.GetElement has the rendertag cache issue. Sometimes, when image placeholder is updated, the rendertag still use the cache placeholder content instead of new content. RQL: I would probably recommend the other 6 placeholders reference the original image placeholder, instead of copying the image over 6 times because reference once and it is done, if copy, then copy operation needs to be done each time the content changes. Just want to share my experience and hope other people can avoid the pitfalls.
