  1. I'm not sure what it's called, but how do I get an existing page to load on another page.

     

    I am making a photo gallery and I have 8 categories. I have all the html pages created for the: table of contents page and each individual photo page. ( I made it with a Jalbum)

     

    What I want to do is have each category open BELOW the table of content page instead of linking to a separate page.

     

    I guess I could copy and paste the table of contents page code above each photo page it links to but that seems incorrect.

     

    Presently the table of contents page is house inside an iframe on my photo_video.php page.

     

    If I have to I will make the photo page live to get my point across. Right now I'm tweaking the designs css to my needs and trying to get everything to fit

     

    Thanks

  2. News, thanks for the help.

     

    Just to clarify, this is a banner ad that a client wants to place on my companies website. I figured you got that but I'm just clarifying.

     

    I asked the agency (media person), that was asking me for the info, if i could talk to their designer and see if the flash designer could explain it to me. But they said "don't worry about it" and just ended it there.

     

     

    If you find anything else out I would be curious to know what the answers are.

     

    Thanks

  3. News, thanks.

     

    What I'm trying to figure out is what is the info the client wants from us.

    The client said every other company gave them clicktag scripts. So I assume it's something specific to each other company.

    Our company does not have clicktag scripts to give to clients for their banner ads.

     

    What I cant figure out is what info do they want from us. I thought the clicktag script is generated by the flash designer.

    Something they create in flash that they specify. I guess they need some part of the clicktag info from us??

     

     

    Thanks

  4. Since the co I work for is not willing :rolleyes: to hire the appropriate people, our web designer doesn't have the answers to the following questions asked to me by our clients.

    So I was hoping someone here could explain to me how I go about answering this question:

     

     

    our clients want to know what our "Click tag script" is for banner ads.

    They said it would be something like this: on (release) {getURL(_level0.clickTag, "_blank");}

     

    I looked it up and I guess it's info embedded in webfiles (maybe exclusive to flash files???)that allows clients to track information on their web advertisement.

    How that differs from our web stats generated by godaddy is what I don't understand.

     

    So where would that info come from. Godaddy? The web designer?

     

    Thanks

  5. Allright attached is what I'm trying to do.

     

    2 lines of copy.(the facebook section) At the end of the second line (on the same line) I placed an image

     

    The image is forcing a space between the first and second line because of the height of it.

     

    I guess I want the image to not effect the spacing (leading) of the 2 lines. Maybe the image needs to be taken out of the flow of the code and be a layer or something.

     

    I have yet to try the position relative absolute.

  6. I have 3 sets of paragraphs that need to be separated by EXTRA space.

     

    I was told that using &nbsp is bad practice.( but it is VERY tempting, ;) )

     

    I have looked for various ways to add RANDOM extra space in my design and cant find anything.

     

    The only option i can think of is inline margins added to my p tag.

     

    Are spacer.gif bad practice?

     

     

    This is just another example of margins in external style sheets not satisfying ALL my variables.

     

    Sorry to keep posting these similar questions.

  7. So, hr's are old and shouldn't be used?

     

    Falken, thanks for this:

     

    Depends on the situation.

     

    -- Sometimes inline styling, if the issue won't repeat and it isn't worth making a class for it.

    -- Sometimes I'll make a class that specifically defines the margins/padding I need.

    -- Sometimes I'll take advantage of the margin collapse feature that I was telling you about.

    -- Sometimes I'll need to adjust the design to allow me to use more consistent code.

     

    I was wondering when I should use inline styling. I have been trying to avoid it all together.

     

    As much control that css gives me it also requires a lot of preparation. So far the biggest challenge I have had in all this is the POSITIONING of elements in web design. It's all very time consuming.

  8. I'm almost done with the site and can say I have learned a TON by just doing it and of course ALL THE HELP everyone here has given me. I could not have done it without this place.

     

    I'm running into a lot of little problems right now.

     

    Here's a for instance. If I place a margin of say 5px on my hr element it's fine and it's how I want it to look when it comes after a p. element. However, when it comes after a photo the margins change because the photo and it's class have a different margin than the p element. I keep running into this situation with various other elements. I don't think putting a 5px margin top/bottom on everything will work. That doesn't seem realistic.

     

    What am I doing wrong?

     

    Thanks

  9. Lots of sites have a logo image that has the website name in it, so it's an alternative to a h1 tag.

     

    So then the homepage might have the logo and also h1 with a full website name while other pages have the logo with the website name and h1 tag for the heading describing the content on that page.

     

     

     

    Got it,thanks wick.

  10. Wickham thanks for the breakdown, I understand.

     

    One question: What's the difference between page title and website title.

     

    It's this part from your post:

     

    "Yes, I think there is a problem with that. It's been debated often but the consensus is that the h1 heading should be for the page title, not the website title (except on the homepage) so if your website is for a town council and you have several pages for health, education, street maintenance, etc. each page would have h1 for health etc."

  11. I was told here to keep my headings in order from h1-h6 etc to help with SEO. I have a page that I want to have an h1 and then immediately under an h2 headline, BUT under the h2 I would like to have an h1 again. Is there a problem with that? Most of the time DESIGN WISE I can keep to a uniform h1, h2 h3 hierarchy , however there are times i want to throw in a big headline under the smaller one.

     

    Theres also some instances where some of my headings(text ) do not fall into h1-h6 categories. For instance I may have a headline thats h2 but it's a different color and italic. Should I make a class and add it to say an h2 heading or just give it a class with no p, or h tag denoted?

     

    Thanks

  12. Do you guys find it "tiring" that the simplest of things takes an act of god to accomplish when building websites?

     

    Or is it something you just accept and continue on. :)

     

     

    BTW, how do new things, elements etc get created and are then usable by web builders.

     

    For instance how did DIVS get made and become part of HTML.

     

    Thanks

    Ant

  13. Eric, thanks once again for your help.

     

    I did everything you mentioned, however my caption still determines the width of the div. So if the caption FOR SOME ODD REASON happened to be very long, it extends the div and 1px border, thus making the div larger than the image bounds.

     

    Here's the css that is applied to the div and to my caption text(not sure i need the caption text styling):

     

    .photo_with_caption {

    border: 1px solid #000000;

    padding: 10px;

    margin-left: 5px;

    margin-bottom: 15px;

    float: left;

    text-align: center;

    display: block;

    }

     

    .caption_style {

    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

    font-size: 14px;

    color: #333333;

    text-align: center;

    padding: 5px;

    margin: 5px;

    }

     

     

    HTML:

     

    <div class="photo_with_caption"> <img src="images/harry_salmon.jpg" width="539" height="411" />

    <div class="caption_style">harry salmon </div>
