I cant until someone asks a question

Tue Jun 15, 2004 2:16 am

Um..can someone rate my website layout?
http://home.comcast.net/~xalaxracer/

Edit: Yeah Iframes, but how do I get it not to repeat in the left frame when I press the home when Im on home? Target it to all?

Edit: For the iframe problem you need to target the the content frame (i looked through the code but couln't find it (the content frame that is).
Line 15's HTML should read:
Code:
<LI type="square"><a href=index.html target="NAME_OF_CONTENT_FRAME_HERE">Home</a><BR>


that might not be correct since i dislike iframes very much :evil: .

first off you really need a banner.

I didn't like the fact that it took 5 seconds to load on a 2Mbit connection.
With that your banner is 600kb--thats too much for a blue image.
The text in the two side columns is much too small.
Another thing is that there is horizontal scrolling in 1024*768.

Other than that it could be ok (mainly a banner is needed). With a bigger navigation and a proper use of Iframes (and of course content :)) your site will be pretty good.

Please dont be offended by anything i said it is just constructive critizism (sp?) :)

BTW I think you should have made a new thread for this...

you kinda have a habit of bringing things back from the dead (I wish i could do that with my hamster Squirky).....

Well, iframes are not crossbrowser. If someone on linux or something saw your page, crucial information might be missing. When designing, check with multiple os and browsers

web design question?

Sat Jul 10, 2004 8:23 pm

Can someone PLEASE help me - I have been trying for about two weeks to make a link on my website go to a 2nd page and am stuck. I know this should be easy but since I have never designed a web page before I am really lost. I figured out how to link to other websites finally. Figured out how to make tables actually look like table. Figured out how to add buttons but can't make my own yet, but I am really stuck on how to add a second page. I have the name there that I want the link to go from but can't make it go anywhere. The text for the page is saved on my server but it won't go anywhere - what am I doing wrong???? Thank You :-)

If you have the files/documents you want to link to already on the server then all you have to do is put something like:
<a href="URL">Text for the link</a>

The URL could be the name of the file eg, red.txt or blue.htm (whatever it is for you) if its in the same directory and not in another.

Alternatively just find the complete URL of the page you want to link to, for example the front page might be:
http://www.welcome.com/index.html
And the page you're trying to link to would therefore be:
http://www.welcome.com/red.txt or
http://www.welcome.com/blue.htm

Hope that helps :) Basically its the same as links to other people's pages except you put the URL as the file you have on your server.
