HTML - Photographer And Ex-web Geek Thought He Could Make A Website...
Hey guys, My name is chad boutin, I am a photographer in the NW and thought one day after being at the mercy of my "graphic designer" friends for a website update. After many self induced web failures and horrible continuity... I started telling myself "You can do it.. its just a website, make something simple, html only, clean, your a photographer, show images.. thats it.
Being a former computer club president in 1986, I thought to myself.. "You programmed hand code basic at the age of 14, cmon, its html, how hard is it? Im so pissed. Here's my need. a menu. thats it, you go to my url and its an opening image and a menu, maybe its hidden, maybe its industrial and grey and simple. Ok, sounds easy... I code one. Simply, with a script found online. simplify the colors... it works. Then I figure, lets have two horisontal frames... 20 percent top... 80 down, top contains a menu (hey ive built this!) bottom is premade flash slideshows made in adobe lightroom already built and hosted on my server. for instance, http://www.chadboutin.com/lifestyle/ Ive fit them in a frame by just inserting the code inside the frameset. <frame src="http://www.chadboutin.com/lifestyle"> But for the life of me, i cant get the target to produce in that page.. I tried loading the nav.html(the fancy menu im trying to use) into a frame.. Now here is where i humble myself to ridicule, the same shame I pour intensely on any amateur Photographer I find trying to do things i do with the tools and experience I have at my disposal.. I kneel in pity and the obvious error of mixing coding metaphors... my (crappy ass) website www.chadboutin.com where i want to go http://www.chadboutin.com/turf/ if i could manipulate these lightroom galleries, i would.. but i cant, and I would like to keep some controll over the website so I can update... siggghh... thanks Similar TutorialsThree things: 1.

My HTML knowledge is limited as I am a new to the web design world. From 1-10 of my knowledge of HTML I would say I am at a 6. I have recently created a website using Dreamweaver CS5 and I would like to know how can I control cacheing on my website? I googled this but I dont know how to implement it. I would like people to cache my page so the next page they go on will load faster but I do want to update content once a week. How can I do this? thank you. Is there code that can detect when your page is being embedded and kill the frame? Hey guys, Let me first introduce myself (even though I've been on this site since 2004). I am Matt. I have used this site in the past with confidence and have always gotten excellent answers and responses. Therefore I am back here as a first resort to seek a kind user that would help me with a problem I have. I have a web site design that I have been fumbling over for ages in order to make it into a working web site. The problem is that I've tried so many times to realise the designs I make, but I find that my ambitions fly way ahead of my skills. Even when I spend countless hours with WYSIWYG editors, I find that WYSI-Not-WYG. (especially when you'd like the code to be as neat as the design) I have attached an image of the design I have slaved over and I am looking for a kind soul that would magically turn it into a functional web page. Another problem is that I have a budget of nothing, yet I will mention you/your site anywhere I can as appreciation for your help. For those of you who want to tell me that I'm crazy and to do it myself, go ahead, I'll keep trying, but I thought that this would lighten the load considerably. :3 I look forward to the responses and if anyone wants to take up the challenge, THANK YOU. Also, I will PM the separate elements for the page on request. Thank you again in advance! There are a couple of issues that I know of regarding this design... IE and Firefox both render the page differently, for example, the header and footer needs to be transparent (alpha). In Firefox, it renders correctly, but IE5 renders the transparent areas as white, therefore the png may have to be exchanged for a flash object with transparent wmode. Another thing that both browsers have problems with is the DIV positioning, it seems as though there needs to be a code hack in order for IE and Firefox to place the DIVs in the center of the page (I gave up trying when I couldn't get the DIVs to stop placing themselves in ridiculous positions. The shadow you see on the stripes? I have no idea how to get them onto the page considering the transparency problems in IE, but I have seen many sites achieve it, I just don't know how. I will make a shadow upon request though according to what is needed. I am willing to help as much as you help I have very limited knowledge of any programming. I own a site and would like to host a 2nd private website where users can email to. The catch is that they when I hand out the email as xxxxxxx@mysite.com (xxxxxxxxx being anything,) I can trace back to anyone who sends me spam. This is similar to spamgourmet.com ,infact it is pretty much the same thing. The only problem I find with spamgourmet is that emails are processed EXTREMELY slowly. Can anybody help me? I'm looking for code that would let me do what I said up there or some kind of script or where I should host the site. Thanks Hi all, Sorry for such an elementary question but up until now I have always used ../ for my references. So I don't have to duplicate code I decided to use ~/ for some referenced links and it doesn't seem to work. Get 404 on the requests. Ok.. what am I missing? Much thanks! s-one HELP ME! I want to make a text box that navigates a frame on the same page to the website you put into the text box, for example Textbox>>> [http://www.example.com] {ENTER} Then the Frame (called 'Browser' goes to that page) How Do You Do This PLEASE HELP ME! Thank You Josh Robertson Hello, I'm trying to add a similar function like "www.vinesauce.com" but I don't know how... I've programmed for 1 week only and I need some help.

I have some links (in the header, the SUPPORTERS) to different websites, but when I click on them the address in the address bar does not change to the address of the website that I clicked. How do I make it show the address that I clicked on? Thanks. http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~fencing/ I am a total noob but volunteered to administrate the website, because there was no one else to do it. Hi How to add a website counter to my website. So that when ever a visitor visits the website I want the counter to increase say from 101 to 102 and then for a new visitor it should be 103 and then again for the next visitor 104 and so on..... I want to know the code. There are number of websites that are offering this but they put their advertisement which I don't want Hi, I am trying to find a way in which a website that is linked on my homepage can be opened while keeping at least one form of my homepage open as well. e.g.: Google images :http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...en-us%26sa%3DG sorry for the massive link. Hope you get the idea. So what i want is to have a bar on top that is my homepage (like the google bar in the link), but the rest is the actual website that has been linked. I don't really care much about the url. It doesn't have to be my homepage url, it can be the actual website url. Google has been able to do that somehow, so it is possible. I would just like to know how and if it is hard to do. If someone knows how to do it, it would be great if you could give me a link to a tutorial, or explain it. thanks |
