No, linking to a file doesn't embed the file into the webpage. The user will only spend the time to download the file if they click on the download link. I would personally just link to a .zip file.

thanks, sorry, I just had a misconception

July 8, 2011

I want to have a link on my home page for users to download my album. What is the best way to do this? If I attach a .zip file to a link on the front page, it will take forever to load the home page, correct? Could I maybe have the album .zipped into one file on a subdomain (ex. brysonprice.com/album.html) and when the user clicks the download link on the home page, it will take them to a page where the download automatically starts? Or is there an easier way? thanks guys

When I was testing the homepage, for some reason, the BIOGRAPHY, MUSIC and CONTACT links don't link properly on all browsers. On Firefox and Safari, when you click the BIOGRAPHY, MUSIC and CONTACT objects, it takes you to the pages. But not in INTERNET EXPLORER or GOOGLE CHROME. Do you know why this is happening?

Here is my website:

EVERYONE SEARCHING FOR A SIMILAR SOLUTION, MY QUESTION WAS ANSWERED HERE:

sticky footer answer

March 19, 2011

If you did that then the upper portion of the character would probably be cut off because of the fact that the footer is fixed at the bottom of the browser. It may look fine for those that have higher resolution but since 1024 resolution still dominates (or similar settings for widescreen) it would definately chop it off at the top.

However, if you want to try this (it still will not solve the problem I mentioned above) you can move your character image to withing the containing div of the footer and then apply position to place that character exactly where you want it.

Also keep in mine that the sticky (fixed) footer position does not behave the same way as IE. You might check your work in all major browsers, Firefox, IE8, IE7, Safari and Chrome.

Eddie,

So is it impossible to achieve what I'm trying to achieve? To me, it seems like it shouldn't be this hard to do what I want : /

For example, the website below has a footer at the bottom and the page scrolls nicely (and nothing gets cut off). Why couldn't I do something similar, except replace all the info with my cartoon?

anyone?

I'm trying to get my character to always stand on top of the sticky footer. How do I achieve this?

The debug bar allows you to view the code as displayed in the browser and allows you to change it in the browser so you can find out and fix problems

Ok, I'll check it out in more depth. Do you know of any good tutorials for the debug bar that have helped you ?

March 11, 2011

There's a debug bar you can download from the same site that's helpful.

Otherwise there's a version of firebug (a firefox extension) that can be run in IE. It is a bit fiddly compared to the firefox version, but it does still mean you can inspect the code and root out problems

whats the difference between the debug bar and validator ?

March 11, 2011

IE is right pain, i hate the thing!

What i would advise is using a very helpful tool i've found called ie tester (see link below). Basically you can view your site in different versions of ie at the same time. Personally i ignore ie 5 and try and make it look passable in ie 6 and then try and get as close to normality as possible in 7,8 and 9

IE Tester

thanks for sharing this : ) But how do I know how to fix the problems I see?

March 9, 2011

Thanks Wickham, this helped the positioning problem : ) EXCEPT, now the MUSIC and CONTACT flash objects don't show in IE. Could this be related to the notice I get saying "To help protect your security, internet explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or Active X....". Do I have to type in a code so this message won't pop up?

I updated the link in my 1st post to show your changes.

Your #wrapper div is closed before the content when I think it should be closed after everything else.
<div id="wrapper">


<div class="cartoon"............

................</object></div>

</div>
</div>

<script................
Check for errors here:-

http://validator.w3.org/

The reason why I did that is because those were the instructions when applying the sticky footer. In addition to making the footer sticky, I also made the cartoon sticky so that he would always be standing on the line. Is there a way to make the cartoon always stand on the line and also keep the sticky footer?

March 9, 2011

My homepage looks good on all browsers except IE. Does anyone know why?

I use Chris Coyier's Anything Slider it is very easy to customise

http://css-tricks.com/examples/AnythingSlider/

thanks : )

March 4, 2011

I'd call it a Javascript slider/slideshow. This might be a useful resource: http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/freebies/javascript-sliders-scrollers/

I personally use jquery's Cycle plugin for most sliding/fading effects. http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/

your always on point with your answers : )

cool effect

What is this effect called? (the scrolling after you click)

I want my footer to stick to the bottom of the page on all resolutions and there is no scrolling, like this one:

N.E.R.D

It looks good in Firefox, but not all other browsers, and you can really see a difference when you look on a big screen mac. Here's a screen shot I took when viewing a large screen MAC:

Does anyone know what my problem could be?

You set the size when you initialize the Graybox:

GB_myShow = function(caption, url, /* optional */ height, width, callback_fn) {
   var options = {
       caption: caption,
       height: height || 500,
       width: width || 700,
       fullscreen: false,
       show_loading: false,
       callback_fn: callback_fn
   }
   var win = new GB_Window(options);
   return win.show(url);
}
   </script>

You should be able to change the "500"/"700" to whatever height/width you need.

that's exactly what I thought, but when I change it, even setting the height and width to 0, it doesn't do anything

February 28, 2011

You would need to change the class name both within your CSS file, and any instances within your pages. For example:
<div class="header"><span class="Biography"><img src="img/contact.png" alt="biography" width="435" height="107" vspace="50" /></span>
</div>

Do you what part of the code would change the box size?

You don't know how much I appreciate your help! I've been trying to figure this out for a while

February 28, 2011

-- Use a different class name for your header area (probably easiest)

I tried doing the first suggestion, but when I changed my header to a different name in the .css style sheet, the header went missing from my pages. Do I have to go in and manually change the name somewhere else after I change the name on my style sheet?

thanks for figuring this problem out for me . You have been a GREAT HELP!

February 27, 2011

Not enough to go on. Got a url so we can see it in action? Provide details to help us replicate that problem you are having.

Eddie,

I haven't put any of this on my website yet, but I can send the dreamweaver file...would that help? What else would I need to provide ?

thanks for helping
