favtm

Dang, Benjamin, thanks so much. How the heck am I supposed to know that, you know? I did figure it had something to do with the unordered list of the links beside the slider, but in DW it did not show it was associated with an unordered list. Your advice worked perfectly. I really appreciate it, thank you.

I am quite frustrated I cannot find where to adjust the left spacing of the slider on the template at the link below: http://www.favtemps.com/ncscal/ I have tried hand coding and using DW and have asked on another forum why this slider is stubbornly too far to the right. No matter the browser, you can see the slider is not ligned up with the paragraph below it. I've adjusted spacing, margins, the width of the slider, making the position inheret or static etc. Long story short, I honestly can't figure this out. I hope this is the appropriate forum to ask this question. To be honest I am new to forums, I try to figure things out myself rather than ask, but frankly I can't figure this out on my own. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I just realized I already know how to accomplish this. Check out the link below to see the complete template which in fact hides the majority of the source code: http://www.favtemps.com/potentials/starlight/starlight.html Years back I found a site that easily turns HTML into JS. All one needs to do is the following: - convert the HTML into JS - save the converted code as a JS file - replace all the HTML that you just converted with a single javascript tag in the HTML file If you view the source of the link above you'll see that all the code between the body tag is replaced with a single javascript tag. Even if a client views the templates source code, and then finds the javascript file, I'm confident they will not even try to copy it. Yes I know there are tools to convert JS back to HTML, but if my work is really worth all that effort, I'll be flattered. I have been using this method with one of my biggest sites for areas of the site such as the sidebar and footer; much easier to edit one JS file than 2000 HTML files. I'm sure we've all been there right? Let me know what you folks think of this, and thanks again for your replies.

Thanks for the reply Benjamin. Fortunately, I do trust my clients, and to be honest if one does take the template without payment, I wouldn't care that much. At most I lose some potential income and obviously the client. Plus I can still use the same layout for future projects. I have seen free template sites where you can view the live preview of the layout. I actually have not tested to see whether their source is easily viewable, but since they are free, they most likely are just as available as the download link. I'm still interested to hear more responses, thanks again Benjamin.

Hey folks, found your forum via Google when searching for a beginner's web design forum. So I though't I'd give you a try. I am an intermediate freelance web designer, and tonight I've finished two temps I wish to show a client. I have always wondered how to show a live preview of the template, without allowing them to copy the source and take my work without payment. I'm assuming this is done with frames or scripts, but I have been unable to find such a thing as of yet. So like I said, I thought I'd give you guys a try at this - I already use my own domain to upload the files to allow clients to view the live template, however, they can easily take the source and run off. I hope I have been clear in my inquiry. I appreciate your communiyy's expertise and look forward to reading your responses. Thanks in advance.
