Hello!

Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.

Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....

Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.

Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.

Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.

Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much.

Making a new site...Questions
Was working on my new site due to all the nasty grams concerning the name of my old site.

Anyway, was wondering what y'all think about the header area. I'm trying to use as little "template" stuff as possible and go with my own photos or creations.





And for you code gurus...The menu shown above will be a drop down menu with cascading sub-menus when I am done. It will follow this structure, with some ad ins later on...




But for now, it don't seem to work. It merely links me to the menu page. I am using link bars provided by Frontpage 2003, and the JS code and steps provided here to make it cascade. It changes everything, and comes up with errors...
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...ffice.11).aspx

If it doesn't show up for you, I'll get it here some how. (I had to sign in to view it, LMK) Ideas, feedback, it's all good. I'll get it eventually though. Still have plenty of time.


Thanks
Rick

Two things...

1) Frontpage isn't even a half way decent software choice for programming web sites. It will not be W3C web compliant nor will it be cross browser compatible. The code you posted that it made makes me shudder.

2) Javascript (your drop down menus) is very touchy. Their are other solutions you can use for what you're looking for. The code that Frontpage made for the Javascript menus doesn't even look right.

Do you have a cost efficient alternative? To be honest, I can't justify spending the money for Dreamweaver, or something similar, just to make one site, and a few photo slides. I do have CS2, and PhotoImpact Pro, which have some compatible features with FP 2003. I have no desire to do this sort of stuff for a living, and feel sorry for people that do. Must be a head ache at times.

I've actually been messing around with it, and managed to clear out all the text boxes underneath, but still haven't gotten the drop downs to work properly. But I'm tenacious, so figure it out I will.

Should I have mentioned that this requires 3 files? A menu.js, menu.css, and menu.htm in order for it to work properly? But it still don't. Must be an easier way. Feel free to point me in the right direction. I am open to ideas. My last site was pretty cut and dry, and I used no jscript, except to block copying. So it worked more than great for a first try ever, not knowing any of this stuff. So I decided to try something a bit more complicated this time for the learning curve... I think easier could be better right about now.

I already said it would not happen again.

I was only trying to help, that's all. Nothing more than that. I've seen much much worse posted on this website regarding illegal activity! I am sorry Rich, it was an honest mistake on my part, and a good intentioned one. By the way it was so nice meeting you in Daytona.

I can not tell you what program to use as I do not like any of them. Hard coding is the way I go.

there is a good site I know of to get code snippets from is

Thanks Gary! I'll look into that for sure this weekend when I have more time.

I did find this site also that has some interesting stuff along the lines of what I'm trying to do, but haven't really spent much time looking yet.

Thanks again!

When I first started my website, I made some drop down menus using Macromedia Fireworks. They worked perfectly, but I removed them in favor of old fashioned text links because at the time compatibility was much more of a concern.
However, Fireworks did the job well with a small learning curve. I still use it from time to time to make buttons and such, but for my site I just prefer to keep it simple. I'm slow about getting it updated anyway due to time constraints, and I just don't want to have to dedicate even more time to make it "flashy".
