Hey I am using my space on iptic to make a site for a mod for freespace2.
I will make level and ship for the mod. (I am the lead level designer )
So check this out and tell me what yah think! (if someone know how to make fram using netscape composer please tell me! I want to make the link on the top so only the bottom of the page load when you change sectionā¦I hope you understand what I mean)
Thatās easyā¦ just give both frames a name like name=ātopā and name=ābottomā
then inside the link ref set the relevant target. like:
a href=ācontents_for_bottomā target=ābottomā
yea but I dont know how to add frameā¦ :-?
ah lol okiedokie.
Create 2 web pagesā¦ just normal html like you normally would. Just 1 is the top pageā¦ the other is the bottom oneā¦ right? basicly top.html and bottom.htmlā¦ lets call them that for now ok?
So now you create the index.html that has the frames into which the other two get loaded.
Now here it is basicly.
<html>
<head>
<title>yoursite.</title>
</head>
<frameset rows=ā100,*ā border=ā0ā frameborder=ānoā bordercolor="#000000">
<frame name="top" src="top.html" NORESIZE SCROLLING="no" MARGINHEIGHT="0" MARGINWIDTH="0">
<frame name="bottom" src="bottom.html" NORESIZE SCROLLING="yes" MARGINHEIGHT="0" MARGINWIDTH="0">
</frameset>
<body>
<noframes>
Sorry but your browser does not support frames.
</noframes>
</body>
</html>
thatāt it basiclyā¦ now be sure to set the right in the frameset rows thingā¦ * means basicly 100% so make the top one the height of your menu and make sure that all links in the top have target=ābottomā in themā¦ to link to a new page make target="_blank" to have a page loaded completely on top off all your frames in the current window make target="_top"
Oh and if you are in a frame and donāt set a targetā¦ it automaticly gets loaded in that frame.
Thereās lossa tutorials about this everywhereā¦ try the webmonkey siteā¦ they usually have simple ones.
Oh and I forgotā¦ you could just make a page with the menu on it and use an <iframe> those are single frames inside a normal html pageā¦ but support for it is dodgyā¦ .especially netscape doesnāt like them at all yet.
alsoā¦ use a couple extra pixels for the height/width of your framesā¦ this is also for netscape usersā¦ somehow they usually need 4 extra pixels
TX for the help mascouno!
I have updated the siteā¦look at it at:
http://mysite.iptic.com/xwarrior/blackoceans.html
(If you use explorer you will see a bug between the ānewsā and āscreenshotā linke but dont worry there is no link there. You can see all the link. I dont understand why it do thatā¦on netscape all is ok)
Put the resolution of your screen at 1024*768 if you want to see the site correctly! and dont forget to TELL ME WHAT YA THINK OF IT!
The error? I think you fixed it no? What I see in your code thoughā¦ is you use a lot of
tags usually a paragraph is started and later ended so for each
thereād be a </p>, the absence of those may be a problem in some browsers. Iād just use
for what youāre trying to do.
also I donāt understand the frames thing nowā¦ itās not in your pagesā¦ only an </iframe> tagā¦ but without the <iframe> it doesnāt work naturally.
In all honestyā¦ even though your script is small itās slightly messy and could do with a little cleanup like the following:
<font face=āTimes New Roman,Timesā><font size=+3>First news! The site
is online!!!</font></font>
could also be:
<font face=āTimes New Roman,Timesā size="+3">First news! The site
is online!!!</font>
small difference but once you make larger/mor complex pages, it really helps to keep it simple.
Ok 1 more point of critique if you donāt mindā¦ I think the top image is slightly large and the link images are a little bulky and unclearā¦ I mean the blue and white on the black and white bg with such fonts is rather hard to read.
BUT: believe me or notā¦ I do like the site and since I love freespace. YOU GO! (I really still have to buy the game but played the demo over and over when I got my hands on it)
yea tx for the comment. No I actually didnāt think about hard light production. As you see there is only two wipā¦so it is in very early stage of productionā¦I will probably send them a message! Tx
yea I fixed the error now. But in my prog (composer) I dont need to write all the codeā¦it is like microsoft wordā¦I insert picā¦write text and save so I dont know why it do that! thanks anyway!
Ah lolā¦ yeah I understand, in that case itās just the programmerās personal preference.
I do all in notepad which makes it rather different to design.
BATTLETECH AWESOME!!!
