HTML - Rollovers Not Working Correctly When Back Button Used
Hi,
I am creating a site in HTML using Dreamweaver. I use rollover buttons to navigate the site which are normally grey but white when rolled over. I have found that when I press the BACK button the button I had previously clicked is white and not grey. Try it out for yourself: http://www.RandAM.org/RichardAsh/ Once the problematic button is rolled over it works normally. Is there a way to stop this from happening? thanks, R Similar TutorialsI am building this intranet for our employees at work. I am not a programmer, nor anykind of web professional, and I'm building this as an amateur. I have very basic knowledge of HTML and a bit of CSS, and that's pretty much it. Once the thing is ready to be released, it will have to be updated on a regular basis, and by people whose background and function have nothing to do with scripting (in fact, I cannot take care of it myself all the time since I'm leaving for Europe soon). Therefore, I resigned to using MS Word 2007 as the html editor, since it's the only software anyone can usen here to update the files without having to learn how to code (I haven't found any freeware that didn't require prior html knowledge and the company will not pay for a software liscence of any kind). I know MS word is basically the worst thing one can use to build a website, but I couldn't find any better for this scenario. Now I'm encountering a bit of a problem with the website, specifically with frames. The website (which is a frameset) is divided in two sections: a menu on the left (frame_menu), which is static should remain there all the time, and a frame to the right (frame_main) displaying the pages contents. Now, when a user clicks on a link in frame_menu, the content (page A) displays in frame_main, which is what I want. Then if someone clicks on a link in the page A in frame_main that links to another page (page B), it will open gain in frame_main, replacing the page A that was there. So far, this is the behavior I want, and the frame properties were set for this. The problem comes when the back button is used. If you are on page B, and then click the back button, you will come back to page A, in frame_main (so far still good), but any subsequent link the user will click after using the back button, whether it's a link in frame_menu or frame_main, will open in a new window, even though the default for opening links of the frame is set to frame_main as the target! This renders the frameset completely useless, and the whole frameset has to be closed and reloaded to function properly again. I know frames are deprecated. The only alternative I have found was to use CSS to simulate frames. However, from what I have read (and tell me if I am mistaken), it only simulates the fact that you have a "fixed" menu on every page, but the menu is NOT a separate html file, and has to be part of every page on the website. This makes the updating of the menu very tedious, as it has to be changed on every page of the website, were an item to be added to it. This is why I used frames to begin with: no need to update every page to add something to your menu, just update the menu.html file and voila. So I would like to know if you have any workaround for this problem. Any suggestion is appreciated. This was all tested with IE8. It's the only browser provided to the employees, I cannot use another one. This is part of the code (generated by MS Word of course) that contains the frametset <frameset framespacing=0 frameborder=0 border=0 cols="215,1*"> <frame name="frame_menu" src="file:///\\sv050\GROUPS\AGT\AGT-CDS\AGT-CDS-CR\helper\html\menu.htm" scrolling=no> <frame name="frame_main" src="file:///\\sv050\GROUPS\AGT\AGT-CDS\AGT-CDS-CR\helper\html\home.htm"> <noframes> <body lang=EN-US style='tab-interval:36.0pt'> <div class=WordSection1> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%'>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.<o:p></o:p></span></p> </div> </body> </noframes> </frameset> If the entire script of the frameset.html is needed, tell me and I'll post it. Thanks in advance, Guill It works correctly, but did I do it correctly to add color? I want the show/hide to be blue and the text to be red. <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> a.showandhide{ color: rgb(0,0,255); } body{ color: rgb(255,0,0); } </style> <title>Test hide thing from TIF T&C</title> </head> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> function showhide(id) { if(document.getElementById(id).style.display == 'none') { document.getElementById(id).style.display = 'block'; } else { document.getElementById(id).style.display = 'none' } } </script> <a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="showhide('box')" class="showandhide">Show / Hide</a> <div id="box" style="display:none;"> Blah blah blah blah blah blah </div> </body> </html> Hi, Is it possible in HTML to have a link that takes you back to the previous page you visited. But here's the catch....i want the back link on my pages to behave exactly as the BACK button in Internet Explorer (hope that makes sense). I have a link on my pages which is this: <font size="2"><a href="javascript: window.history.go(-1)">BACK</a></font> but this works in such a way that if you go to Page1, then Page2, then Page 3, then you click on BACK in page3...that takes you to Page2...if you then click on the BACK link on Page2, it takes you back to Page 3...when in fact I want it to go to Page 1.... Please urgently help. Thanks Hello, I dont know if someone had the same problems, but it seem to me that it is quite common. For a service I would offer my visitors to log in or register... Then after registering or logging in I would like to direct them back to the page where they had been diverted from. And the number of steps and the page are not always the same. Is there a way to "remember" the page name when click on register or login and at the end of the reg/log process go back there? Thanks Attila Hi, I have a bunch of rollover / mouseover buttons for my web site. They work fine when I upload them to my host (freewebs) However, when I redirect using cjb.net's service, all of the rollover buttons don't work anymore. I was wondering if I could get rollovers to work when people are redirected to my site with a .cjb.net subdomain. Thanks! Well, the normal site is http://freewebs.com/clankapow/ and the redirect site is http://clankapow.cjb.net. Notice that the buttons do not turn yellow in the redirect site. Hello, I have rollover images (the department blocks) on this page: www.buildersbestdoitcenter.com They work in the preview window of my html editor, and in the IE preview, but they don't work once I post. I'm not a code cruncher, but the error message I get is that there is a missing object. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. KH Hi guys I would like to use "back" button like this: Code: <form> <input type=button value="Back" onCLick="history.back()"> </form> Can I replace this button with my own designed button? How can I do that? Good morning world...I've got a problem. I work for a college updating web sites, and I don't have access to anything in the CSS that they setup before me (my administrators won't let me touch it), and I know very little of jQuery and javascript. To the point though, I want to add a "back to top" button that hovers around the bottom corner of the browser. Can I do it without being able to access the CSS that the college uses as its base? (I guess using HTML and HTML only)? I'm currently building a website for my jewelry and I have run into a simple, but aggravating problem. Should I include a back button? A back button would be the same a clicking on home, but are my visitors going to to know that? This is what it would look like with out a back button: http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...backbutton.gif This is what it would look like with the back button: http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...backbutton.gif I am looking for a back button but there is a catch. I want to send an email newsletter, the newsletter will link to articles on a website. I want a back button that will return the user to the Outlook email they clicked from. Any suggestions? Thanks Brian Hi I want to be able to turn the image that reads 'back' on the page below into a "back button" that automatically makes the browser go back a page, just like the back button within the browser. How do i do this? http://www.richardjohntaylor.com/bil...hotoerror.html Hi there, I'm coding a html website with two frames (one top, one bottom). From the homepage, when the user clicks a link, both the top and the frame the link's in change. when my user is on that new page and click the back button in the toolbar, only the top frame (title) changes, but not the bottom one. So, for the 2nd page, I need a way to make the toolbar's back button move the viewer two steps instead of one. Is that possible? thank you, RandomNameHTML I have an html document (not a webpage) which I'm converting into a .pdf. I've created it before without any issue but now I'm noticing that when I click on the back button (after clicking on an internal link) that it does one of two things... It either a) returns me to the top of the document or b) takes me to some arbitrary spot in the document. Neither one being where I or my clients need to get back to. Anybody experience this or have a fix? Thanks, Hunter I have a solution with ajax where I send POST-information via <a href> like this: Code: <form name="myForm" action="GoHere.php" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="myVariable" value="thevalueiwanttosubmit"> <a href="GoHere.php" onclick="myForm.submit(); return false;">Click here</a> </form> There's also a paginate system with page numbers at the bottom. When I press an item I go to another page with more details. When I press the Back-button in Mozilla everything works fine, but in Explorer I start from page number 1 instead of the page I originally came from. How do I get Explorer to remember the page number? Do I have to change the javascript somehow? Well, this is the first CSS layout i've made, the site right now is EXACTLY how I want it to look, but I think somethings not right... if I fill up where it says "How about some links? " too far, the footer goes to the top of the page, and the "Welcome" ends up in the navigation menu Here is the link I want to know why the following code doesn't work correctly: Code: <table>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2">Square</td>
<th colspan="2">Title</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">Information</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3">Long description fits in here.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">Why, oh why?</td>
<td>pt</td>
</tr>
</table>
It should make a table with three columns, the third column is only really used in the bottom line. Is this just a problem with the way html is read or what. I presume this isn't just a browser issue, but in any case I'm using Firefox 2. Cheers. I've just started changing my Tumblr page around to make it look more fancy! I put a nice background and such on it, then finally, after looking for hours, figured out how to make my posts container opaque, so that you could actually see the background. Well, when I made it opaque, it also made my posts opaque. So, now some of the photos I'm using on there are not extremely visible. I was just wondering if there's a way to make the post container opaque without making the post content opaque as well? Here's the link to my tumblr page, so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about. http://late-summers-thoughts.tumblr.com/ And I'm not totally sure that this is what you need, but this is the part of my coding where I made the whole thing opaque. div#content{filter: alpha(opacity=75); -moz-opacity:.75; opacity:.75; float:right; width:500px; padding:10px; padding-top: 0px; margin-right: 170px; background: #000000; } div#entry{ background-color:; margin-top:px; padding-top:10px; padding-bottom:10px; } For the life of me I can't seem to figure out why this page jump isn't working. http://www.thegoheens.com/resources/test.html Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Okay so I am working on a website and on the services page I used anchor tags to jump to places on the page. They all work great except for one. The page validates and I dont see anything any different from that markup to all the other markups I have done. It is up on a test server at www.vsncom.com/melkay/services.html The link thats not working is underneath the Electrical maintenance block and it is the link to go back to the top. Also on the entire site. The map page, contact, and services all shift slightly to the left. The pages all use the same css...any ideas? or is it just an optical illusion? Thank You, Matt |
