Thanks you for assisting me with this - it is greatly appreciated

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...

Brian, assuming you were just trying to post the files for us to look at, I've used services like http://www.dropsend.com/ (or a similar service) before that work quite well for sending large files. Sounds like making a torrent or putting the files up on RapidShare is an unnecessary hassle.

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....... )

After waiting over 1.5 hours for my rar files to attach (Still did not complete)' date=' 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[/quote']

What are you uploading? This seemed to be just a regular website with some html, css, and image files.....

Or did I miss something?

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

January 27, 2010

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

thanks guys!

January 27, 2010

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 :

NuCoder, you need to get a server. Even a free one will do (just Google it). Then you can throw all these files up live and make it much easier on yourself to fix these type of issues.

Hi Eric

I will look into - thank you for the tip.....

thanks

Ben I am emailing you the files -

thanks

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...

(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:

About

The 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

January 27, 2010

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

I'll look at it later tonight.

thanks

January 27, 2010

Assuming that it doesn't look incorrect or broken, I wouldn't worry about it. Minor differences between browsers -- as long as they don't significantly alter the user experience or prevent them from visiting pages, etc -- are ok.

Thanks Ben

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

January 27, 2010

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

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)

January 27, 2010

I am receiving a Three Pixel Text Jog - but nothing is displaying inline? An error I should not worry about?

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:

mission logo

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

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:

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:

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!

January 27, 2010

I loaded your page up here: www.aandbwebdesign.com/misc/nucoder.html - but I do not see any jump. I do see 153 validation errors. Most of them are cause by stuff stuff like this: - but you should strive for ZERO errors. (http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_comment.asp)

Did you mean that when you CLICK a link it shrinks? Which one(s) specifically?

If your saying that when you use an absolute link and it works, then the relative one is written incorrectly. How many folders deep is your structure? Judging by the link to your stylesheet -

The way your links are written in the footer -
Contact - will never work for all the pages on your site. Whatever page you're on, this links to two folders higher up. And note in the example I picked, you have 2 periods.

You should really look into getting a hosting account. It'll be so much easier and more efficient to look at exactly what you have there, than having to upload it ourselves and still having to guess at some of the things you have there.

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...

Anchoring Tips

When purchasing a new anchor, make sure you get the correct type for the bottom conditions where you go boating. Most stores can help you decide on the type, but do not go cheap. Buy at least 1 good heavy anchor for each bottom which you expect to have to anchor on.

Thanks Newseed - I got it. I was not adding it to the head section...

January 26, 2010

$(function(){

$('.fadeIn img:gt(0)').hide();

setInterval(function(){

$('.fadeIn :first-child').fadeOut()

.next('img').fadeIn()

.end().appendTo('.fadeIn');},

3000);

});

I think I am making the error bc I am not putting this into the head section. I was adding this in the xhtml(?)
