HTML - Problems Editing A Site Designed In Frontpage

Hi all! This is my first post at the html forums, and I'm quite new with coding in general, so please don't scream at me for being such a noob.

I've been planning this site for quite a long while, and only just got into creating it within the last 2 months. It's called star-files.net. In case it's what your thinking, no, this is not a site about celebrities. The "star" is just a catchy phrase to go along with the rest of the domain name. Thus far, I've been creating it using a mixture of notepad (for the html coding that I actually have the knowledge to accomplish), and dreamweaver v8 (for the stuff I need help with or just don't have a clue about, like CSS and java). The forum won't let me include the html in this post, so I'll stick it in the next one. Just look at the source for now.

If you have any suggestions for the source code, please let me know. I want to have this improved as much as possible.

Anyway, the reason I'm posting this thread in the first place is that IE is giving me problems. Both v6 and v7, and I can easily guess that users with IE v5, 4, 3, 2, and probably 1 are not going to be happy with the way it looks. Straight and simple, the file "BGfade.png" (BG stands for backround) is stretching too far in width. I have it set to stretch to 100% width of the available space between the main table and and the side of the window. Instead, It stretches farther, causing a horizontal scroll bar to appear. Anyone know why this happens, and better, how to fix it?

Lastly, I have another problem, but I know that fixing it will probably require CSS or java... It's the "transparent-pngs-in-ie" problem. BGfade.png is supposed to be transparent, to show the image being it, SFgrid.(jpg or png, but I can't remember which.). IE has difficulties with this, I know, so I'm trying to find a solution. If anyone has an idea, I'll be most grateful. Thanks!

I have two similar links into my site that act very differently. One is mydomain.com/link1 and the other is mydomain.com/link2. There is a link1.htm file in my root and a link2.htm file in my root. When I enter "mydomain.com/link1" in my browser, I see the page. When I enter "mydomain.com/link2" in my browser, I get a 404. I do see link2 if I enter "mydomain.com/link2.htm" Is there a secret to making this type of link work? I don't remember doing anything special for link1. Maybe b/c it's Friday I can't get my brain around this one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi: I'm having problems with IE viewing my site. Unfortunately a lot of my viewers still use IE, but the way the design was made (Open Source design), the right side is in the first part of the file (<div id="content">) and the left side is afterwards (<div id="left">). It was working fine in IE for a while but then just suddenly stopped working after I was editing. Not sure what I did.

When prompted.

Could anyone please look at it in IE and tell me why it's not working. All HTML is in the source code (nothing's hidden), but here is the CSS file:

Code:

/* 

** BLUE:SKY - main stylesheet

** This CSS file makes the webpage look pretty ;-)

** 

** March 5, 2006 - (version 1.0)

** 

** this is a part of the open source layout by

I have read various post all over the net about site problems in IE but ok in Firefox, Safari etc. Well, I have that problem too and have failed to identify the problem within my site. I am a novice websiter - relying on DW to do most of it for me!
So any help would be appreciated. see www.nailseachoral.org.uk
the navigation bar should not have a box around the words (present, future, gallery etc) and the home button should not have a purple box around it! Looks ok in Firefox and Safari. I am suspecting the image sizing code could be a factor?
Any suggestions would be appreciated and thanks,

Hey everyone,

Working on a site for this church. The site is www.graceheritagechurch.com . I have a few problems that I want to touch up:

1)First, I have it on the home and about us pages where the td extends 100% so if there is scrolling, it is using the right scrollbar and not a scrollbar inside the i-frame. If you look at the Our Beliefs section, I can't say the same for that. What code do I need so the only scrolling is on the right side and it just extends until all the text is done?

2)Lastly, If you go to the home page and make the text size a good bit bigger, the horizontal scroll will appear in the iframe. I don't want this, and I know most people don't use font size that big, but the preacher I'm making this site for does and it's important that I can get it off there.

Any help with these two basic questions is greatly appreciated.
Help ASAP!

Thanks,
Kyle

Hello.
I have problem with creating a website for my Counter-Strike team. When I trying to write match info, and insert there a little flag, it always goes below map picture. It goes there everyway... with FrontPage, with PageBreeze, even with a WordPad, then i tried to edit HTML code manualy. Here is a screenshot:

I realy need this problem to be solved. Sorry for my english.

I dont know what the solution is but almost everry site that I create doesnt work in internet explorer! the links are wax-bar.ca and imagearts.ryerson.ca/nsahota
It just shows a blank screen!

I would really appreciate any help with this.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, im struggling in uploading index.html in my ftp server. I've uploded all the images but it still doesnt work, how do i fix it ? page is extasy.freevar.com

Which to choose? DreamWeaver or FrontPage?

Hello, I've created a web site using frontpage 2003 and my client requested another language recently, so I copied the whole site into another directory in a PC and translated it.

The original language is in Turkish with menu options on the left and I've added English button and need html to call the other index.html in the other directory.

So here is the question: How can I upload the other directory into the server without disturbing the current structure and is there another simple way to have both languages in one directory ?

Thanks in advance

I've created a form using FrontPage (2003) and modified Form Properties so it will send the form by an e-mail . I also enabled FrontPage extensions on the server side, however, whenever "Send" is pressed I receive "Page not found" message.

Perhaps the Form Handler is not working right but I couldn't find any info related nor any related fields to change at the server part.

I appreciate any help as this the final step to finalize my web site.

Thanx in advance

K so a while back ago I created my website using microsoft frontpage 2003, but since then my harddrive has crashed (got one up and running now) and I cant find the CD to install it again on my new formatted harddrive.. So I took the source code off the website that was up and worked with that in notepad. Eventually figured out what I needed to do to get it to do what I needed (basically I just wanted to add more pictures in my gallery, was easy to figure out just by looking at the source code).

So now I have, what appears, to be working html code (when I open the .html file in internet explorer, all the links seem to be in working order). But I'm not sure how to get the new source code applied to my website. When I was using frontpage, I was able to 'publish to web', and that seemed to take care of all the file managing. So without that 'publish to web' button, I'm at a loss. My web hosting is omnis. I figure I have to do something with the file manager when I log in.

But, for instance, I'm not sure what to do with the actual source code to apply it, and exactly how to set up directories and whatnot manually.

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated (or atleast has some links to some good tutorials/help websites. I've been looking around and can't seem to find what I need. )

Thanks

Im trying to add a god forum to my website however am currently unable to find suitable/working HTML code, im working in Frontpage so HTML is not a necessity but im not sure what other languages have full support in there.

The forums need an avator, seperate usernames and passwords, and easy navigation.

Does anyone have any ideas, it would be much appreciated

A friend asked me to help validate their code.

Like a mug I said yes. How hard could it be? Then I found that FrontPage does not appear to use CSS (gulp) and is steam-powered or something. Aarghh!

Well - I sure bit off more than I could chew this time. I figure I'll add a CSS external file, let's say main.css, and reference it in the header.

There are dozens of errors of course, things that no sane person has seen before... Like for example a 'microsoftborder'. Hmm, no wonder FrontPage died! Anyway, my friend can't change now, the site is too big and complicated. We just need to get some important pages to validate - like the index page for example.

The first job is a whole-page border she has: it's a 5px gold border, stepped in by 5px, all round the page. That all fails miserably in validation as it's got stuff like [bordercolordark="#c0c0c0"] etc. Yikes. So I want to strip that out and put something sensible in the CSS.

Anyone tell me what the CSS code for a whole-page 5px border is, stepped in 5px all round, please?

You'll be helping a poor FrontPage victim. RIP is all I can say.

Goo Day... I'm "still" working with Microsoft FrontPage 2003. I have created a Quiz homepage, used for training, and included a Drop Down Box, where the user can select his name before answering some questions. At the end the user Submits the answers and I get an email with the selection. I would like to add following: when the candidate submits his work, he gets an email with his answers automatically according the selected name in the Drop Down Box. Any idea how I can do this? Cheers, Kues.
