dominic42 Posted November 18, 2003 Posted November 18, 2003 hi people, i need some help with getting a frame to work and i seem to be missing something here. i added a side frame on my web page and in that frame i have links to different pages on the site. when i open it locally it works fine but i cant get it to work on the web. iv checked and double checked over and over again that the files in the local site are the same as in the remote site. im using dw 4.0. any ideas? thanks Dom Quote
Lianna Posted November 18, 2003 Posted November 18, 2003 Would you mind to give us a link to the site? We can probably help you troubleshoot it better if we see what you're seeing. Quote
TCH-Rob Posted November 18, 2003 Posted November 18, 2003 I clicked the Don't Click Here button on Doms site. As much as you want to, dont do it. Trust me. Nice work Dom Quote
TCH-Rob Posted November 18, 2003 Posted November 18, 2003 By the way Dom, if you are talking about the wood working site. I do not see a frames page, just the regular index page. Did you upload the main index and the nav page? If so then you may just need to change your current index page to main or whatever you called that page. Quote
TCH-Don Posted November 18, 2003 Posted November 18, 2003 frames I am sorry, this site uses frames. Quote
dominic42 Posted November 18, 2003 Author Posted November 18, 2003 ok i think i understand what i did wrong here, i took my main index page which i call home.htm and added or i thought added the side frame and worked from there. then when dream weaver asked to to save the frame set i did and renaimed the frame set home2.htm and made that my main page. i think i see now that i should have made a new page with the frames and directed DW to insert the frame set and the index page in there proper locations or something like that. thats what im going to try now please correct me if im wrong. thanks again for all your help so far Dom www.dominicswoodshop.com Quote
dominic42 Posted November 18, 2003 Author Posted November 18, 2003 oh by the way im happy the dont click button got a chuckle from you all, thats by design Quote
dominic42 Posted November 18, 2003 Author Posted November 18, 2003 ok so i learned something today which is a great thing as always. i changed the name of the frame set to index.html and all is working well now. im still making changes but im happy. My Webpage p.s. thanks for the compliments on the woodworking, something else that im learning on a daily basis. Quote
TCH-Don Posted November 18, 2003 Posted November 18, 2003 Dom, glad you got it working! Some of your pics are very large, 1.5 to 2.5 megs Have you seen the free program called Ifranview from www.irfanview.com It can help to resize and save as a jpg with compression. Your images can be reduced in file size with little loss. My Dad was a carpenter so I can appreciate your fine craftsmanship Thumbs Up Quote
dominic42 Posted November 18, 2003 Author Posted November 18, 2003 thanks for the tip don ill look into fixing that. Quote
TCH-Rob Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 DOm, Other than the image size, looking good. Thumbs Up Quote
