Stef,
I haven't seen them yet. As a matter of fact, I think I have only seen one or two of your videos since I have been coming here (what..4 years maybe?). I don't think there is anything wrong with the videos, in fact, you have gotten a lot of praise from a lot of people. It's just that I don't have the patience to sit still long enough to watch them.

jlhaslip is correct. It's better to put it in it's own file and then link it in your
. -
i think i'll keep them in cause from your reaction it looks like it definitely grabs youe attention. the one 'spooky' character i think reminds me of a character you would see on star trek
Actually, it spooked me away from your site thinking it's nothing more than just junk stuff for kids/young adults. Unless you are marketing for that young generation, it would probably not attract much attention from businesses that might find a use for it.
Here again, it's only my opinion.
-
If you look at the page which is called alteregos on the menu. Thats a page with a static example of every character there is to date.
Thanks for your feedback
Then the only adjustment (if you so desire to change it) is to take out the 'spooky' faces from the flash header.

For future references, post your code related questions in the appropriate forums. This forum (Dreamweaver) is for issues about Dreamweaver.
-
I think the script is fine. Just make sure its placed between the
tags. -
First impression is that I was spooked by seeing a weird monster talking back at me. As I refreshed the page, I saw a much friendlier face. In my opinion, I would ditch the non-human talking faces from the rotating header flash banner. You can instead show static examples on another page.
The color/theme is good but I have not thouroughly gone over everything including the code.
-
You have your flash code embedded within the
. Put the flash in it's own div and float it left. -
Im sorry I dont understand them and seem like and Idot. Im only 14 and have only taken one course on Web Design and HTML coding. CSS Im slowly learning. I see where it is talking about I just dont know what I am supposed to change.
You are not an idiot. You just have lots to learn is all. Many forum regulars here tend to tell it like it is and that our goal is not to make people fell hurt or stupid but instead push them to do better.
So when you ask questions or opinions, you are going to get constructive criticisms. In other words, we are not going to lie to spare anyone from being hurt or insulted. As my wife would say, "The truth hurts but at least it's the truth. Can't imagine why anyone would want to believe a lie."

In addition to Thelma's response, the invalid 'size' selector seems to be indicating that you are trying to set the width of the hyperlink. You would use 'width' instead. (i.e. width: 200px; )
Finally, after you fix the html (per Thelma's example), you will need to use a small script to for IE6 so that the dropdown will work.

I think the concept he is trying to do is to have a generic tutorial/documentation about CMS that would apply to about any type of CMS software but that would be virtually impossible because no one CMS are alike except the software is loaded onto your host, has admin access, can update/add new pages/articles, add-ons, etc.
Base on the questions he's given so far, it's not very concise and seems to be amateurish. Finally, he didn't indicate an link (unless the link was removed by a mod) or to PM him or if we are to start a new forum in this regard.

I dont understand how to use it. I get that you put your adress in there but I dont know what the errors are. Does this make sense?
This tells me you don't know html/css well if any at all. We suggest you take Stef's tutorials for website design for beginners along with a whole list of other tutorials: Where Can I Learn Web Design?
Once you get a fairly good understanding of the html/css code then those validation errors will start to make more sense.

Like this Site http://www.brutalbands.net/index.html when the user clicks on for example e-store etc...
he/she will see it on the same page but its in a frame
If you have read my earlier post, iframe will not help you with google indexing. Also users will not be able to bookmark to any specific page other than the home page (index page). Iframes might be ok for isolated use but not for the whole site. Even then it's better to use CSS overflow instead.
What you need and should be using is Server Side Includes using PHP or ASP. If you don't know how to do that then it's time you learn. We can help you in the process but only if you help yourself by taking the time to learn the codes.

Firstly, we usually don't critique sites unless the code validates. Nevertheless, right from the start, the first impression does not imply that it's a lizard site other than the name. The color grey just does not do justice for this particular theme. The header title is too big too.
-
You will need to define the link tag to have a width and height.
#header a {
width: 804px;
height: 150px;
display: block;
}
The css is based on the fact that your header.gif file is the same dimensions as your #header div. Otherwise, you can adjust the link width and height to fit the area you want to be hyperlinked.

A page that does work
http://www.nydbbq.co.uk/pages/clubhouse/map.php
A page that doesn't
http://www.nydbbq.co.uk/pages/gallery/amber.php
If you hover over the 'teams' link in the menu bar then you'll see it disappears behind the frame in the second page.
The issue is is that the slideshow you have is in a iframe. There is really no reason for it. Just stick the slideshow into the html of that page and then it should display the menu fully.
Now you have few other issues that you might want to start looking into because it could cause propblems with other browsers thus the page will not render correctly.
1. You have multiples of head, title and body tags. You only need one set each.
2. You have a doctype but it's not located at the top of the code. It must be the first line of html code before . Note: you have two different doctypes. You only need one.
3. You have other lines of code that are duplicated which are not necessary. Example: You have two testCSS.css stylesheet links.
By cleaning up the mess it will allow us to better determine the problem(s) you might be having so that we can easily find a solution.

I?m not getting a clear answer. I know I am going to get my clients from now on to get consent. But my question now is what do I do about this website that we are talking about now, the people are the center objects of picture some employees and some not. Do pull the photos, can I be sued !
If the domain is under your name/ownership, then I suggest that you get a consent. In most cases though that if you have an aggreement/contract with the business that the domain is under then it's their resposibility. If you ever were to be confronted about an image in question then you have a contract to state that all rights belong to that business using that domain. Chances are you will be asked remove them.
If you are really spooked about this, check with a lawyer and see what your rights are. If you can't afford one then you would be better off by adding a disclaimer to all your contracts that states something to where the client(s) will not hold you liable for any action against the domain and it's contents.

I do not see any spaces between the lines. However, you are using HTML 4.01 Transitional doctype but then you have self-closing tabs like
which should be
.
Self-closing tags are meant for XHTML doctype.

A couple of things. First, the #FFF color code is not in the correct place. It must be before the url of the background image:
background: #FFF url(../images/tealwhite.png)repeat-x;
Secondly, the reason why the background image does not work in IE is that you need a space between the ) and r
background: #FFF url(../images/tealwhite.png)-add a space here-repeat-x;
Here's what you css style should look like now:
body {
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 1em;
background: #FFF url(../images/tealwhite.png) repeat-x;
}

Hmm...I don't know if I can do that...I mean...I...I'm...I'm just a bit shy! :/

If the owner provided the photos then you are not liable. However, as a common courtesy, you might inform the owner about obtaining consents from the construction workers (if they are his employees, friends, etc.) to use the photo(s) on the website. Typically, if their faces are not showing or is not identifiable, chances are that nothing needs to be done. Nevertheless, it's important for the owner to understand his rights and the rights of the employees.
If these are stock photo purchased from an online stock photo site then he will need to read the copyright details for each of the site he obtains the photos from. In most cases you can use images on a business site for general purposes. Where it draws the line is that if you use the images for profit on materials like t-shirts, coffee mug, etc.
The other main copyright issues is that if you use the image for the company logo. This will certainly bring up a problem if the company does not obtain exclusive rights from the owner of the image that is being used.
Please note that each circumstance are different and that the information I have provided is my opinion only. It's the duty of the company/owner to check the copyright terms and use.

You can upgrade to MS Expression Web 2 which is a huge improvement over FrontPage but some of the standard layout and features will be similar to what you were using before. Here again, although Expression will produce standard code, it will really help to understand the basic fundementals of HTML and CSS. Creating web site pages using the WYSIWYG pane is not ideal and it does not guarantee the same visual results for all browsers.
Check out Killersites tutorials on HTML and CSS. This will help you get a better understanding how some of the basic code works.
Note: You can get Expressions Web 2 at the upgrade price regardless how old your FrontPage is.

Oh I see. Well, what can I say, I'm a republican!
Hourly rate?
in Business of Web Design
Posted
When I develop or rebuild a new site, I present to them a standard hourly rate that I charge and then provide them how many hours it would take to complete the site. Thereafter, they already know what the hourly rate is if they were to request more services such as maintenance or anything that is outside of the scope of work of the original agreement.
Sometimes it's hard to determine how many hours it would take to do the job but if you have a niche like I do then it becomes easier to provide a more accurate quote.
