soul .gc June 15, 2004 Share soul .gc Member June 15, 2004 Ok - Here is the dilemma: I have a template done that uses tables. Here is the basic layout: 1 Row along the top that is used for the title of the page 1 Row beneath title row for links to other pages 1 Column on the left side with the labels (1, 2, 3, 4) 1 Column on the right where the info appears when it is clicked on in the left column. Example: Click on 1 and in the right column the data appears that is linked to 1. I can only get it to work with Frames so far but I much prefer tables. Anyone know how to do this? Also - If I have a bunch of HTML that I want to resize itself to fit in the window each time, how do I do that? Is it possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soul .gc June 15, 2004 Author Share soul .gc Member June 15, 2004 Exactly like that - Any chance you have that in a template? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet-401 June 15, 2004 Share bullet-401 Member June 15, 2004 I had it I'll try to look for it again on the internet. Lost the originals. But what are you exactly having trouble on? <iframe> ? All that template is really is the table with an iframe on the right. The links on the left have a target of "_iframe" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soul .gc June 15, 2004 Author Share soul .gc Member June 15, 2004 Thanks guys - Here is another question. I downloaded the 3rd template down on the link below: http://www.freelayouts.com/templates/display/templates/ How do I get the links to show up in the Iframe? No Iframe tag shows up in the target box in Dreamweaver. Also - How did you create an Iframe? Been tryin to figure this out for a day, head is getting tired.

bullet-401 June 15, 2004 Share bullet-401 Member June 15, 2004 You might have to look in the code. I know in Frontpage you have to make an Iframe manually. Look at the code. Can you view code in dreamweaver? Look at it. <IFRAME name=upd marginWidth=0 marginHeight=0 src="content.html" frameBorder=0 width="98%" scrolling=yes height=380 bordercolor="000000"></IFRAME> Looks like the iframe is called "upd" So send the links to target "upd" On another note: I found my template! http://zymic.surreallia.com/templates/ template 2 yay now I can fix my page.

Hitman June 15, 2004 Share Hitman Member June 15, 2004 Nice. What kind of site is it that you are making? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soul .gc June 15, 2004 Author Share soul .gc Member June 15, 2004 Just a site for my Golf League. Trying to make it look good. My only other problem is gettng HTML to resize for the frame. I have a spreadsheet that I save from Excel to an HTML format. When I link it to open in the frame it is big so you have to scroll a lot. Trying to figure out how to get those sheets to resize to the Frame, even if they are real small....or at least the width to resize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soul .gc June 16, 2004 Author Share soul .gc Member June 16, 2004 Alright experts. Finally got some more figured out but I am still stuck on one thing, the size of the page. If you look here: http://my.voyager.net/~haggy/june03.htm You can see how big these spreadsheet pages can be. Is there any way to shrink them or tell HTML to resize them for the available window? If I remove scroll bars it just puts in a small portion and not the entire sheet. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubblegum Bandit June 16, 2004 Share Bubblegum Bandit Member June 16, 2004 Are these guys images? Or are they imported spreadsheets from another program? I viewed your source code and honestly didn't want to spend the time answering my own question. If they are images, then you can specify the height and width of the image at the end of your image tag.....<img src="blahblah.gif" width="400" height="400"> that would make your image size be 400x400 pixels. You can also do this based on percentage as well.....ie..if you put "400%" it would make the image 4 times as big. *..Hmmm, looked at it again for a sec and doesn't seem to be images. You could manually go in and change all the widths of the table columns. That would be a pain in the rear though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soul .gc June 16, 2004 Author Share soul .gc Member June 16, 2004 They are exports from Excel. I use the Excel Publish method to send them to that ready-made HTML code that is a garbled mess but looks just like the sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman June 16, 2004 Share Hitman Member June 16, 2004 Sorry soul, that's definately way too complicated to figure out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubblegum Bandit June 16, 2004 Share Bubblegum Bandit Member June 16, 2004 So....if you were to make the column sizes smaller in excel would it publish them as smaller to the web page? Or are they as small as they can get to fit the info into them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auggybendoggy June 17, 2004 Share auggybendoggy Member June 17, 2004 soul the sheets look fine. scrolling is not as big a nightmare as web deisnger make em out to be. They are if you use em as your intro page or they disturb your asthetics. For a sheet like that I EXPECT to have to scroll cause theres so much info. If you want it all to fit then make a img link by printing the sheet to paper then scan it back in as a small image and use the small image as a representation...the thing is people will still have to scroll cause it's just to big. You can script some java to zoom but thats alot of leaning man. dreamweaver is a pain huh? Great program compared to the others but still far from perfect. What version are you using? I was thinking of upgrading from version 3 to mx2004 but I dont know if it's worth it since I don't design very much. I use Flash 5 the most for the animations.

soul .gc June 17, 2004 Author Share soul .gc Member June 17, 2004 Thanks Auggy. I will link the page when it is done, I have been learning a lot over the last few days. It has been 4-5 years since I did any of this....the old SoS web page if anyne remembers that. Dreamweaver is good, it is just annoying when you try to find out how to do something and the help files suck. I have MX2004 and Flash MX. I am currently trying to figure out how to make some Flash buttons. I wanted to have some Flash buttons that made an animation onmouseover and then spawned a sub-level of menu items. I know I can do this with regular Javascript but I figured I would try with Flash since it looks better usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gond June 18, 2004 Share Gond Member June 18, 2004 IFrames are not supported by all browsers. You can also use document.write() to write to a table cell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet-401 June 18, 2004 Share bullet-401 Member June 18, 2004 really? what browser is that? Opera? AOL? Firefox seems to work fine. Crazy people with their iframes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman June 18, 2004 Share Hitman Member June 18, 2004 IFrames are not supported by all browsers. Gond, do you mean older browsers (like IE3)? Personally, I'd say it's more common for a browser to have javascript disabled than not support iframes... or is there a really popular one that it doesn't work with?
