My just completed autograph site

**rwolfe09** · 02-06-2007, 01:29 PM

Hello everyone.
I don't know if doing this is considered against the rules but I just wanted to know if you get the chance..could you check my autograph site out? I figured its easier to figure out my mistakes if someone else looks at it. And if you do check it out, please check out my Guestmap and post a tack where you live and leave a comment. Thanks, Ryan

The site is nice, however the frames don't parse correctly in Firefox. Makes it like you're seeing double. Not a problem if you're a fan of Microsux and IE, but if you like me and won't touch'em, the site is difficult to enjoy.

**kearns643** · 02-06-2007, 01:38 PM

How would I go about fixing that problem? I'm pretty much showing this off so I can learn from my mistakes and get better at making websites.

I'm seeing the issue here, as well.

The problem is that when the user clicks on a link, the new page is loading in your center frame. The page that is loading, though, also has a naviagtion bar, so there are now two nav bars on the screen.

I think what is causing this is that you links are all set to open in the center frame. So, when the user clicks "Baseball" under "Autographs", it opens that page in the "main" frame.

To fix this, you can either link directly to say, "baseball1.html" and have it appear in the frame, or change the link default to NOT open the page in the "main" content frame. If you're going to use frames, the first option makes more sense.

Hope this makes sense...if I need to be more clear, let me know!

**rwolfe09** · 02-06-2007, 03:41 PM

Well, the problem with that is the way the layout was made is that the center is a completely different page. So I'm kinda confused..this page is giving me issues all day. Now it's telling me "The GeoCities web site you were trying to view has temporarily exceeded its data transfer limit. Please try again later."

I dont know what to do. Im about to put a bat through my computer screen. Someone please help me.

EDIT:
I understand what you mean Mike. I think I'm gonna move it over to Bravehost.

**YankeeFan01** · 02-06-2007, 04:19 PM

It basically means too many people went to the site or downloaded stuff from the site.

**rwolfe09** · 02-06-2007, 04:24 PM

Well my site had a page and where the text was..was another page. pretty much 2 pages per page. It was alot of work but im fixing it.

**forktender** · 02-06-2007, 04:28 PM

When it comes back, I'll take a look at the source code and give you a fix!

**rwolfe09** · 02-06-2007, 04:31 PM

The source code may be a little messy..i made it with Frontpage.

**forktender** · 02-06-2007, 04:44 PM

Post the code and I'll fix it for you.
When you reply wrap your source in code tags. Hit the # icon on the Post Reply screen, and place the code between the tags!

Ok. I'll first post the layout HTML. I'm learning HTML in school but I couldn't do something like this. Lol. Thanks for your help.

Ok. Here's where all the information is. I took out the HTML for the guestbook.

Code:

<body bgcolor='#D0D0D0'>

  <p align="left"><font face="Verdana" size="2"><b><!--  Start Bravenet.Com Service Code -->

  Welcome to my new autograph site! It's version 2.0 if you want to call it
  that. This is also the first update of the new year. So Happy belated New Year
  to all. I have gotten a lot more autographs. If you noticed, I have split
  the autographs up by sports and then they are alphabetically arranged.
  Everything is updated and looking sweet. Enjoy and drop me a line if something
  isn't right or doesn't work and be sure to sign my guestbook.</font><br>
</ul>

**forktender** · 02-06-2007, 05:29 PM

OK...
Being pressed for time, I only took a quick look. First thing to do is to delete this:

Code:

<base target='main'>

it's not necessary.
Do that and I'll look at it further.

Ok. I'll do that.

I just checked it out and left you a comment too!

Thank you very much. The site seems to be working now so I'm gonna leave it alone. But again, thanks for the comment. Ryan

**rwolfe09** · 02-08-2007, 03:35 AM

Ok. I was thinking and I think I figured out my problem. I think the problem has to do with me linking it to a whole other layout. Like for instance the baseball cards (when clicked) opens up a new layout with the cards in the middle. If I can figure out a way to make a page without the layout and just have the middle..that might be the key to my site not giving me problems.

I tried to say this above, but might not have been clear. You DO have a way of linking to the content in the frame without the other layout. For example, when you click on "baseball" under "autographed cards" you open a file called "baseball.html". Try changing that to "baseball1.html", as it doesn't have the frame.

Here's what "baseball.html" looks like:

http://www.geocities.com/misterwolfe09/baseball.html

And here's "baseball1.html":

http://www.geocities.com/misterwolfe09/baseball1.html

Obviously, the 2nd one will look better in that middle content frame.

Good Luck!

YEP!
So either get rid of <base target='main'> or just link to the base html and not the entire frameset

**rwolfe09** · 02-08-2007, 08:52 AM

I'm gonna mess with it a little tonight to see what I can get done. Right now Im in school and It's REALLY cold in here. They refuse to turn the heat up.
