I agree

Good morning Andrea, Thank you for taking the time to look it over and provide me with some great tips. I am very serious about web design. I have been studying for the last yr or so, and actually did not put anything to work (Just studied, studied - w3schools, books, blogs, lynda.com). My brother popped this on me and it got me to roll my sleeves up and do it - and it is true - you do not learn until you do it. Never would have known of changing .htm to .php. And yes I will be adding a contact form to the contact page and deleting the info email. I would also like to include on the form feedback on the site (what the user like to see on the site, do they like the site etc..) Would my linking issue possibly be due to the way my folder structure is? My images I am struggling with. These were test images to provide an idea of what will be there. I am struggling with Content Aware Scaling and when I clip the image - it seems that the image does not appear right (too much clipped) Thank you again for pointing out my errors and assisting me in going the right direction. Everyone's support here is phenomenal and I am always grateful for the assistance Brian

thank you for assisting me with this. Yes - that is how my mind is right now - mush

I may be wrong, but it sounds like you are wanting a dynamic form. You will need PHP for this. If you do not have any experience with this - I would recommend watching Stefan's (Admin. of Killer Sites) podcast course (an excellent one) on PHP at www.killerphp.com. If you are needing it done quickly and do not have time for this - Dreamweaver CS4 will produce you a nice looking form within several clicks of your mouse...

Hi Ben, I will look into the dropsend - thank you for the resource. I will keep you posted..... (slowly pulling my hair out by each strand....... )

Hi Andrea, I was trying to upload my .htm pages and downloaded them in a RAR file. My brother was going to put me up on a temp server, so I can post it to the forum & he can review how the site is coming along with the company (the Marina who I am redesigning for / he is going to school for networking so he has some background with programming).. Glad I am redesigning their site Pro Bono

I'll post it tomorrow. After waiting over 1.5 hours for my rar files to attach (Still did not complete), we tried Torrent and that did not work. Did Rapidshare - but can only do 1 a day - and I mistakenly uploaded the Torrent file and not the RAR the 1st upload...aiy

my brother will get it up live today. I will post it soon. thanks guys!

That is probably the route you will have to take. I do not know of any other way to go about it other than with PHP. Check out Stefans podcasts on PHP : www.killerphp.com

Hi Eric I will look into - thank you for the tip..... thanks Brian

Ben I am emailing you the files - thanks Brian

Good morning Andrea, That is ok and I appreciate the assistance greatly. In the bottom right hand corner of DW - my root folder consists of Root Folder --index --about --services etc.. etc.. etc... (there is nothing inside of these folders) Then my .htm pages are listed below these --index.htm --about.htm etc.. etc... Now when I am on the home page - with my link for the about page (xhtml) set up as: AboutThe About link shows smaller than the rest of the links. The navigation seems wider - and when I hover over the About link - it as well as the Home link appear to shift or increase in size (both link and hover are .75em) I click the About link - it links to the About page - and the About link is now normal size as the rest of the links? Same thing happens when I attempted the services page. My computer crashed last weekend and my brother took 8 hours cleaning it up. He added another gig and Windows 7. Since Windows 7 has been added - it seems to be more of a pain in the a.. and do not know if this may be due to Windows 7? I could attempt to send you the files if you wanted as well? my email is se ar ay_ c t s @ yah oo if you wanted to email me - I could reply back to you. This is my 1st project. I am re designing the marina website my brother helps run w w w. a nc lot e ha rbo rs. co m. Once I get over these hurdles - I will know how to jump and will not stumble across these issues again.. thank you Brian

I'll look at it later tonight. thanks

Thanks Ben - You don't have any idea about my linking issue do you? I'm at a complete lost....

Just so has it I am doing a re design of a Marina my brother helps run (my 1st project ) Good luck to you - this is an excellent site / forum..you've come to the right place Brian

the color scheme is nice. A couple things I notice your navigation bar - the entire bar is clickable but the links are not. Checking your CSS - I did not see anything for your navigation Change your links from tables to an un ordered list You will want to fix the margin-top / padding-top: on your footer info to lower this element I would recommend slowing down your fadeIn on the images . I think a fadeIn of about 4-5 seconds with a fadeOut of maybe 1 or 2 secs would suit nicely - Maybe change the border to a lighter black or blue/gray (play with colors to see what suits well) I would also recommend not putting so much padding-left: on the content (or the heading)

I think you need to clarify exactly what you mean by this, and where this is occurring when you load the site. Hi Ben, It is only happening on the The Local Spots page. I am getting 2 errors when checking the browser compatibility. Errors are reading for the XHTML below: Local Spots "Beaches, Parks, Restaurants and Shopping" If you are visiting Florida on vacation, we want to show you around. Even if you are a local, maybe we can introduce you to several spots you may not be aware of. Tarpon Springs is such a beautiful city with so much culture. From white sandy beaches, to dining and local shops, there is an abundance of things to do in this small hisotric town. So get comfy, and take a tour of the many array of places to visit while in Tarpon Springs.....from car or boat. 2nd Error Dining, Bakery & Bars Hellas Restaurant & Bakery Rooker Bar Santorini Bar & Grill Ballyhoo Grill Pauls Shrimp House Toulas Trailside Cafe CSS #mainContent #locStatement { margin-bottom: 30px; } h4 { font-size: 1.3em; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #acac81; margin-bottom: 10px; padding-bottom: 4px; border-bottom: 1px dotted #acac81; } thanks Brian

Ok now the link is small - click on it and it links to the page. I am using the About page. On the Home page - The About link is smaller than the rest of the links. I hover over the About link, the text for the About and Home link enlarge a little bit. I click on the About link and I am linked to the About page. On the About page - the link now is normal size as the rest of the links(?) Sorry guys for the questions, I am just trying to learn - and yes - I am sober and this !2^t is really happening Here is the CSS for the navigation: #header ul { list-style-type: none; float:right; } #header ul li { float: left; padding: 110px 0 0 15px; } #header li a:link, a:visited { font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: .75em; text-decoration: none; display: inline; padding-right: 17px; color: #5c8ac5; } #header li a:hover, a:active { font-size: .75em; color: #acac81; } the XHTML: HOME ABOUT SERVICES AMMENITIES MAINTENANCE CONTACT

Thanks andrea my set up is: Site Root: --Index --About --Services --etc... then the .htm's are below these folder: --index.htm --about.htm --services.htm They are not in the folders themselves (i.e index.htm is not in the index folder) I use FF as well. When I click the links I get this message: File not found Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Users/Webmaster/Documents/about.htm. * Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors. * Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted. That is not a 404 is it? below is the XHTML: Home About Services Ammenities Maintenance Contact Please bear with me Andrea and I appreciate your help. I do not know if you have seen any of my posts - but I am now just putting my studies to work, and I may have some ridiculous questions, but once I know how to fix the issue - I will know how to not make them again. Your assistance is greatly appreciated and hopefully soon I will be able to assist you guys in answering questions to the forum Thank you for the spam tip on email!

Hi Andrea, I know I noticed those as well and will be cleaning them up (never knew using 2 comments on an element is no good (Strict) Up in the main nav in header - When I click About from the home page - it jumps to the About page - but tthe About link is smaller and the whole navigation moves up and widens. Same thing - if I click on Ammenities - it goes to the Ammenities page - but About and Ammenities links are smaller and the navigation is wider and moved up In regards to the Absolute link. I make the NOAA Marine link in the sidebar an absolute link to link to the NOAA page. When I do this - the page links- but the link shifts (NOAA is on top and Marine is under NOAA) I have 14 folders in my structure (1 for each page, and 1 for images, CSS, scripts, tides). Would maybe the fact that I do not have my index.htm in the index folder, the about.htm in the about folder and etc.. - would this be affecting the links from doing what they are doing? with the footer links - these were implemented prior to my adding the site root folder and it did this automatically (will fix this - but good tip and thank you for advising me) I will look into a hosting account - even thinking of asking Stefan Thanks Andrea - just trying to get over these 1st hurdles of actually grinding it out to get my 1st project complete...
