Website woes.

Martin · **Posted:** Fri Aug 27, 2004 6:15 pm

Okay, here's the website that I am working on.

http://www.compsci.ca/martin/blank.htm

I made it in photoshop and imageready, and then this is a modified version of the ImageReady html code generated.

Basically, I need the big white section to be the content section of the website.

I don't want the page to scroll, but I want the middle section to scroll if need be.

The only way that I could see doing this is with an iframe. Does anyone know how I can make it so that the iframe takes up the entire white section, or a better way to do this?

I turned on the frame border so you can see what it's doing. The final plan is for it to be turned off.

And for a third consecutive post...

is there anyone who would be willing to help me finish this page over the weekend, in exchange for lots of bits and eternal gratitude (and a gmail invite if you want).

Please...I'm starting to hate html

Frames are evil!

Use a div. Use "overflow: auto" to make it scroll if need be.

Go on...?

BTW, here's a link to the version where the table has borders.

Tables are also evil... give me a second to post a demonstration of a div with overflow in action.

code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Div overflow demo</title>
<style>
body { background: #FFFFFF; }
div#demo {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
overflow: auto;
background: #E8E8E8;
padding: 5px;
border: 2px solid #000000;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="demo">Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. Hello world. Foo bar. </div>

Let's leave it at HTML is evil>
Divs don't work well on all borwsers, like on MAC camino that would look messed up.

Please, it's "Mac". It's short for "Macintosh", not an acronym. And Camino is a damn fine browser based off the Mozilla code. The very simple code I posted would work fine.

I'll just be getting off my high horse now...

I have a GMail account. Razz

And I'm a consultant now. I give advice. I explain the best way to do things. I educate. I can do these things because I've mastered the nitty gritty stuff through many years of study and I now wish to simply relax, make money, and raise a family in the next few years. Smile

I've been trying to get this to work, with absolutely no luck, and I'm starting to get stressed out like MAD.

Okay, here's what I want:

That first link that I posted, I need someone to edit it to do the following:

The frame in the middle takes up the full (or at least close to) the entire white section.

The layout remains the same (that is, the copyright bar stays at the bottom of hte browser).

Whoever does this wins a gmail invite, 200 bits, my eternal gratitude and a link to their site (if applicable) in the links section, and a thank you on the page.

It does seem to take up the whole white section only if you view it in Internet Explorer. Maybe you're all using Mozilla and weren't able to view it right. I used Mozilla first too, and tried it in IE, it looked the way you want it to look. You're probably better off finding another way to do it then sticking to that frame; forcing everyone to use M$'s IE Razz

As long as you're happy using frames...

I have something worked out that's 99% of the way there, minus a few tiny details you could probably work out. Can you give send me an e-mail address so I can send a zip file, since it appears we can't attach files here anymore?
