Help

Can I just laugh or should I be constuctive? LOL

Okay, I'll do both... hahahaha Now, lets see... Your problem... Your using FrontPage for one.. Second, because your using FP, it doesn't know what real code should look like, so your missing a few things, not to mention, the code is completely cluttered uselessly..

Find your line that says: <script>
Make it look like this: <script type="text/javascript">

Try that, if it works, fine. If not.. Well, ditch FrontPage and start over using an app worth something. There's more I could add here, but won't as I'm already coming off as an ass.. ;-P Just remember, make sure the webserver supports FP extensions if your going to continue using it because your lacking alot of javascript code for the rollover effect. 3 or 4 lines just doesn't cut it.

I agree with Coz 100% here... get off FP as soon as possible... Personally, I hate WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editors. Give me good ole Notepad anyday :D
Actually, my favorite html tool is a freeware product called Ace Html Pro. You might want to give that a shot. Try to manually control as much of your code as possible... if you rely on editors to generate code, it can often have really strange results.
 
There is a place for WYSIWYG editors.. Just not on the computers of real professionals.. Which rips me that real companies want ppl who know Dreamweaver.. I mean c'mon.. I know its one of the best wysiwyg editors but still... You either know what your doing or you don't.. One of the biggest problems with all M$ 'programming' apps is they all Cheat to do what you want.. FP requires FP Extensions on the server, VB requires a DLL pack, etc.. If you want anything worth anything, don't use M$ products.. I have an exception with Office tho.. The main apps are fairly descent, tho I still enjoyed Word Perfect, FoxPro and QuatroPro back in the day... heh-heh

Any company that uses Dreamweaver knowledge as a basis for hiring doesn't know what they are doing. First thing I do when hiring for a web developer position is to look at the source code of their other websites. If I see M$ meta tags in there... buh-bye. But we're getting off-thread ;)
 
Same here.. But that's why I'd rather freelance web design and such.. Contract jobs are okay like you, check the source first.. Do they want a 'real' programmer/designer or just some idiot who can use crap software..

agreed also, getting OT.. heh-heh ;-P

Think we may have scared away dehawk tho...
 
Lol im here , i wanted oto do a simple site so my mom could make changes to it , i do not want to make all the small changes , so well , plus its not bad for fp

And i agree that script is the only way
 
My suggestion then becomes...... Still ditch FrontPage and instead, use Dreamweaver.. Doesn't take a genius to use and gives much better results then FP.. Oh yea, and it works more or less correctly.... Just keep thinking, the dumb blonde I know is able to use Dreamweaver, so anybody can.... (this is a dumb blonde I know, btw. she also swears by macs as well... go figure)

Actually from the current versions, I prefer FrontPage 2003 over Dreamweaver.

I have started out using Dreamweaver but didnt like it as much.
However WYSIWYG is crap in either of the softwares. But Frontpage 2003 and Dreamweaver has the handy split view which is always useful.

Frontpage may place crap scripters into the code but same goes for dreamweaver.

Do not deface Frontpage 2003, as its more of a preference of which you use.
 
also regarding your problem...
strange that you are using PNG image files but maybe its because you didnt preload them. try preloading the rollover images.
 
I'll deface and talk smack about anything I deem deserving.. FrontPage is deserving...

I dunno why, but you forgot the fact that at least Dreamweaver will correctly code JS and such without the need of added server extensions.. Therefore creating a more complete code vs. FP. Not to start anything, but you state that wysiwyg editors are crap, but that you also support and use FP.. Interesting....

perhaps I'm just old and grumpy from all the years in this bs...
 
uh-oh, I see editor holy wars starting up... is this a bad time to ask about emacs vs. vi? ;)

First of all, this snippet of JavaScript code you have ain't going to work on image rollover effects since the function init() called on page onLoad is blank:
<script>
ns4 = document.layers && true;
msie = document.all && true;
function init() {
}
</script>

Please see http://www.codelifter.com/irm5index.html to download an image roll-over maker by CodeBrain.com. The software will automatically generate JavaScript code for you. Or better yet to use a HTML IDE, such as Macromedia Dreamweaver or Adobe GoLive, which will also generate the appropriate JavaScript functions for you and the associated actions.

I didnt state wysiwyg is crap, i said wysiwyg engines on both designers to be flimsy and weak.
 
what program did you do the design with... photoshop, fireworks, paint?

fireworks is integrated with dreamweaver which should also generate the rollover code if you output it as HTML

photoshop is similar if you bring it over to image ready.
 
well thansk guys i finished it
 
ohh sorry shud be fixed now , takes a while to refresh
