hi bruce,
i apologise for not answering before. i had to take care of some academic unfinished business but here i am. i decided to stick to the last lesson you posted, and so i have a number of questions about that before i try to do it.
@unknownuser said:
What we are going to do is build a separate web page to fit into an iframe.
The first thing to do is create the page of course and you can just reference this new page in the iframe dialogue as you position it on your main page.
Then just drop the iframe page into the middle of the main page and surround it with a layer of navigation to the left of the main page as in the project list at the side of the slide show.
You will have a separate iframe page for each of your projects. All of these iframe pages
(pages with iframes embedded) can then be referenced from the outer nav frame.i understand the principle behind the idea but do not quite get how it is going to be done.
i get the relation between iframe and project page, between iframe and the main page, and between the iframe and the nav frame outside it. my main doubt/question is: what is the structure of each page that will be referenced in the iframe dialogue? how is it going to contain all the pictures of a project? where would they be? on this seoarate page? on the server?as i finished reading the part on named anchors i had the same feeling as before: i understand it but do not know where to put it. fortunately you came to my rescue by mentioning that it could not be inserted into sitebuilder just like that.

So the big question for you all is would you like me to get myself an editor (that we can share) and then go ahead and launch a lesson on the use of the tag……
Or, should I just go get us some canned code……..sorry to leave you this way but I need your help with this.i would very much like to learn how to deal with the tag code. i am afraid using canned code will be ok in the short run but will leave my hands tied as to future changes to the site. thus if it is ok with you please get the editor and let's do a lesson on the use of tags.i always prefer learning how to fish than being given the fish as a gift, if you know what i mean.
and, once more, my appreciation for all you are doing for us.

would it be possible to integrate it with a website like the ones we are creating under bruce's guidance?
edson
Sure, it creates html files (and all the necessary folders for the images, thumbnails etc) that you just upload to your site.
However I haven't followed how this sitebuilder works - I mean whether you can custom-upload your own pages/files to the server or "just" use whatever is built into the sitebuilder software. -
Hi Modelhead,
I would be very happy to travel along the same path as Edson.
Having viewed Edson's pages, it has given me the idea that on my tools navigation bar, it will lead me to a page, full of the links to all the 'tool' subjects that i need to talk about.
That will be a much clearer way, I believe, to nagivate around my site.
Great idea, thanks Edson.
Thank you Bruce
cheers
Alan.PS having viewed loads of sites for ideas, and I believe we are travelling along the right path, and getting there. At the time of this posting the site has not been updated.

cheers.

Edson,
Cool. That is the final goal anyway.
I have a whole lot of "web developer tools" (websites bookmarked) which I have already promised Bruce to share here. During the week-end I'll put together a little "package" with some very basic descriptions where you can find what and post it in this topic if you guys don't mind me interfere... -
bruce,
in order to better orientate the viewer i would like for some elements of the nav bars to be highlighted in some way (underlined, or in bold, or in a diffrent color, etc) to tell people where they are on the site. to exemplify this i posted a picture of the site in which the cyan rectangles indicate that the viewer would on the portfolio section, architecture sub-section, viewing project X.
is this possible to do with the resoursces we have?
cheers.

hi, bruce.
all of us have other stuff to do too and i (we?) am not in such a hurry. your contribution has been great so far. thus, take your time. it will be fine whenever you find time to do it.
meanwhile, i got my hands on a couple of training videos on dreamweaver cs3 which are amazingly instructive.
regards.

Hi Bruce,
I will second Edson's comments. I have plenty to work on ,and any time you are free, I will take up the lessons again, when you have time.
Thank you

Hi all websitebuilders,
I just checked "Givaway of the day" website and found that they have "ConceptDraw WebWawe" for free today (for another 16 hs to download adn install).
The product is 300 bucks otherwise so it must be a powerful one (I haven't tried it yet just downloaded).
Also, read carefully the TOS.
Have fun;
Edit:
Ah well, the link -
Hi Gaieus,
thanks for that
Alan -
Hi Modehead,
Great to see you here.
Thanks for this lesson.
This feature could have a great deal of use in my project, allowing the viewer to have a 'brief overview' of what I am going to cover in a particular teach package.
This will keep me busy for tomorrow.
Thanks
Alan -
thanks, bruce. i will have a look a it tomorrow morning. a presentation rush in the last 48 hs left me almost brainless.
cheers.

cheers.

Hi Modelhead,
Just picked up the latest lesson.
I will get on with that this evening.
Thank you
Alan -
I'd just like to congratulate you all on having the most viewed and most replied to thread on our board...
where's Bruce? he's the driving force behind this... and Alan and Edson... and let's not forget Dylan for starting it...
keep it coming kids...

thanks, kris. this thread sums up to me what this board is all about: we learn from each other, grow together and make friends in the process.

Hi Guys,
Yep. Second that from Edson. I would love to know how many people other than Edson and myself,who are also in the process of building their own web pages thanks to there tutorials.
Right, back to my homework.
cheers
Alan.
