HTML - Dreamweaver Frames
Hi there. This may seem like a very stupid question to most of you guys, but I'm fairly new to this and I have honestly Googled far and wide to try and sort it out myself before seeing if anyone on here could help =)
I'm building a website where the content is centered between two visual aid frame borders. The middle is made from 3 frames - the header, the menu and the content. When I preview the HTML file in a browser, it all looks just how I want it (ignoring the unnecessary scroll bars and scatty graphics - I'm still in testing stages!): However, when I re-size the browser, although the site remains perfectly centered, which I'm happy about, the frames in the middle seem to...shift into themselves? Eat themselves? My wording is terrible, but it looks like this: How do I make the website re-size healthily with the browser instead of crumpling up like that? I know that there's probably an easy solution and that I'm likely to be getting something simple terribly wrong! If anyone can help or utter a word of advice, I'd be really grateful! =) Similar TutorialsI've heard many times "don't use frames, there is better ways to accomplish it", and I was wondering, is this just referring to "invisible" frames, or any frames? For example, look at Kingdom of Loathing. They use frames (or what appears to be frames) and I can't see how they could successfully make that site without. If I had to have all the screens scroll as one rather than separate, and couldn't resize when I needed to, it would be extremely annoying. So, frames are bad, or just the invisible ones? When you are using dream weaver for a website, do you have to install it onto the server I was going to use it because I think it's a nice layout for HTML coding. I have been following this incomplete tutorial series http://www.youtube.com/user/EdzJohnson and have a finished product of what was done in Photoshop Website Design Tutorial 2. As of right now there is no third tutorial but I would still like continue developing my website. Currently the code represents the lay out of sliced up images for the web banner and some map tags surrounding the locations of where a button would link you to something else. However, I do not know where to place the link tags so the map locations actually link you to something else. does anyone know where to place the link tags?

How do I rectify them? Please see the link which is mentioned below http://www.sahiwala.com/christian/index.html Please give me a solution at the best Best Regards ok, so since i've switched over to Div i felt like there was no more needs for Dreamweaver anymore. Does anyone feel like this? I mean, maybe i just don't know how to use DIV in Dreamweaver, becuase i've been doing it all by hardcoding by hands. becuase when i try to align a div to the right or left, there is no button in the property that lefts me do it, so i have to get into the code and change it. and when i do use it, seems like the only feature to use is "layers" ( i think this "is" div ). so currently i'm thinking that dreamweaver is built for tables. is this correct? Shoot, now i feel like i've spent so much money and now is barely using the program anymore( execpt for the typing tool tip). In the site: www.eldon.com see those little dotted lines in the page? I couldn't figure out how they did this to save my life... Thanks... can you please give a site or link where can I download dreamweaver? I have heard is good to build web pages and learn html. Thanks! I have a site and the spry menu bar won't go all the way across the screen. anyone know why? I'm starting a new website on Dreamweaver. Can't remember how I did this the first time: I need some jpg images to go into my images folder. I created a folder for my website on my hard disk (local root folder)...and I defined my site on Dreamweaver, with an image folder....but when I try to add images to the folder, it won't accept them on Dreamweaver. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Hello every1, I'm using adobe cs3 now, but i seem to be having a little bit of a problem. When i come to type in the html code: <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> wmode="transparent" The code does not seem to work now. What is the new code that i will need to enter? Or do you have to do something in flash? Thanks for the info? Hi. Can anybody tell me the best way of adding a <div> to loads of pages that I have made without a template. I need to add a <div> to the top of every page I have built on a site (approx 250 pages) Basically I need to add a "back to index" link!!! Leroy this issue has been solved I need to make sure my site is validated with XHTML but i don't think Dreamweaver is doing it right. I made one page and it said it was all good but i left some span tags open. It never mentioned that though. So how do i validate in Dreamweaver against XHTML? Where do i check what it validates against? In the Validate menu it says "If no DOCTYPE is detected, validate against" then has a list of HTML 2, 3, 4, XHTML 1..etc Does that mean i need to remove the DOCTYPE that's in the code or just make sure it's the right one I'm validating againt? Thanks for any help. For those who are interested... a preview of the next Dreamweaver release can be read here. Ok, so I just got Dreamweaver, how do get started in designing webpages? I heard that it makes webdesigning a lot easier. I know it's important to understand codes but at the same time I wanted to learn Dreamweaver because I know I'll be using it soon. Any help is greatly appreciated. Hi, I'm trying to create a website with photoshop and dreamweaver. And I want to create 2-3 frames. 1 left side navigation bar and mayber a banner frame at the top, and the middle frame where the text comes. Now my problem was that when I tried to create something like this with dreamweaver it made those ugly looking draggable things. Id want them not to be visible and apply my 1337 design made with photoshop (and cut with the slice tool). If anybody has any idea or any specific site that could help me further please help me! My current site is http://squeezingavocados.urli.net/ But whenever I write something to the iframe and it expands the navigation bar also does, making it look like ****... hi.i need some help : i got a web page that looks something like this how can i make the background image to autoresize according to the screen resolution of the monitor from where the page is seen?same with the banner and the rest of the images.i basically want my website to look exactly like in the picture no matter what is the resolution of the screen and without a scroll bar. and another thing: how can i make to load only the text on the orangebox when i click a side link(e.g:assus) without refreshing the hole page.and how can i put a scroll only on the orange box so i can put a longer text and not to exit from that rectangular space? thank you Which to choose?

However when I open the same HTML file in Dreamweaver all the Chinese characters are jumbled. How can I fix this? |
