I have a couple of questions about placing javascript: 1 - Do you place your javascript, in the head section or at the bottom of the page? 2 - Why do you prefer this choice of placement?

Well how can you save your images to a file without naming them? If if they don't have a name how can your html link to them? It doesn't matter what you use, numbers or something else, but they have to be called something! A simple path would look like this only if you are linking from say index.html file, which is in your website folder which also contains a folder called "images".

I love the design, very creative. Just one little remark on the popup when you add item to cart, there should be more separation between "Go to checkout" and "Continue Shopping". As they are so close together I clicked on continue when I meant to click on checkout.

I can do it too. Website http://1 80 virtual.com (remove spaces)

Sorry about that, Ben is quite right, I was looking at the wrong panel I don't use them myself. The link box in this case would be used to make the image a clickable link to an html fle. If you connect the twirl from the Source box to the jpg file your images should show in the browser.

Defining a site in DW means setting up the site on your local computer so that all your links point to the folder in which you store all your files, css, html and jpg or gif. It also means entering all the information and passwords so that with one click you connect to your hosting server and upload all the info you have in your defined folder as and when you need to. If you did not save your images to your folder and then did not upload them to the server, DW will not display them. What you are telling the browser in the above statement is to look in folder "www", then folder "hk", then folder "fotooshk" and finally find the name of your image which is "lostsouls#1groot.gif". So the path to your image is wrong. In Dreamweaver, there are 2 ways to link to your file from the Preview Panel, the one below the main file, if you do not know how to write the code yourself. After the input box where it says "Link" you can either browse to find the file by clicking on the folder icon or drag the "twirly icon" to the file in the "Files" panel. The Twirly icon is just in front of the folder icon. Most people use a folder called "img" or "images" and put all their images into that folder which can also be divided into subfolders for different classes of image.

How are you adding your pictures to Dreamweaver? Have you defined your site?

Dreamweaver

I assume you are using a text editor to write your html and css code. You need to save your index file as index.html and your css files as root.css, your text editor is probably saving them as .txt files. You need to change this so that the file extensions are .html and .css only.

Dynamic Drive has several CSS based photo galleries and queness.com has several JQuery ones. You can also Google for CSS photo gallery or Jquery photo gallery and you will find lots of options. Some of them are easier than others to use.

Is your CSS file is in a different folder to the other files? If so you need to link it like this replace foldername by the name you have used for your folder. Always use lowercase letters when naming css, html files, images and folders. Most web servers (the computers you?ll eventually be putting your site onto) are case-sensitive, which means it matters to them whether your files use capital letters or not.

Also bear in mind that most modern browsers now use a zoom effect, so everything stays in the same position and just gets zoomed in on without breaking the layout . There will always be a problem with older browsers which don't react the same way.

You are probably using DW to test and it can be set by clicking on File - Preview in Browser and at the bottom of the list Edit Browser List. Or from the toolbar, click on the image that looks like a map of the globe and choose/edit your browser.

Thank you kind Sir, and no I'm not still waiting, but it is sunset so I will soon be making the sundowner.....LOL I haven't run into the problem today, but then there haven't been many posts so far. I am 8 hours ahead of most people, so I start hitting that problem later on in the evening (for me)

Good eye, missed that, I knew from Firebug where the error was immediately, but as usual skimmed over the code diagonally instead of completely...

If you look at the width of your second set of pictures you will see that the one on the left is 329px + 25px padding, the one on the left is 313px + 25px padding and there is also 10px of left padding on the containing tag which makes a total of 702px and your page is 700px wide. You just need to reduce the width of the left hand photo and the right one will move up. Sometimes it takes a second pair of eyes....

Yes your updated files will replace the old ones when you upload them to the server if have kept the same file name. As to whether, you will be prompted to verify, this will depend on which FTP program you are using. I use DW and if will verify, I don't know about other FTP's

It seems like everyone has them and no one to talk to yet...

I suggested 1000 posts, but it seems my post disappeared. Or maybe it was that dratted 3 minute wait between posts and I went away and forgot to repost it....Oh and here we go again. 7.30pm in Tenerife, I'll go make myself a sundowner while I wait the required time.

Waved you

OK it just happened to me, 180 seconds between posts.

So do I.

No, I'm saying if you want to learn how to build websites I would not follow that particular example. It is graphically ugly and uses tables. If you just want one site, I would suggest you use WordPress, because the site is already built for you and there are loads of different templates and plugins you can choose from that should fit your requirements. Dreamweaver is a great tool, but that is all it is. By that I mean, it is not because you have the best brushes, canvas and oil paints that you are going to paint a masterpiece. It is also a big piece of software to learn and will take some time to master if you don't know the basics. If you are interested in learning how to build web sites you need to learn these basics HTML and CSS, tables are outdated for layout and should only be used to display data, like an Excel Spreadsheet.

Well I'm sorry to say, but that livebyday site is my definition of a graphic nightmare. If you want to learn Dreamweaver, go here http://www.killersites.com/dreamweaver/

That is what Andrea put in her post, you must have misunderstood.
