Menubar in I-frame - Page 2

navaldesign · #31 10-07-2006, 02:10 PM

Looking at your page code, i see that your frame has z index = 1. This means that this is the second object in the page. All content of the main page has z indexes >1 so they will come above the frame. Please copy the frame, then delete it and paste it again using the paste icon, not the right click menu paste. test it.

Yep, that's it! Only i've choosen for a different solution: I've changed the z-position of the i-frame in the page using the frame (to 100) so the frame will always be on top of the content of the page.

Thanx for pointing me to the Z-position!

Another question, you being the I-Frame-expert ;) Is it possible to put my meta-tags etc in the frame so each page using the frame will have those?

Yes, it is. But, according to Bethers (who's opinion i mosttly respect) that would be bad. also, havibg the keywords in your main page, allows to customize them according to the page content.

This is FANTASTIC. And, by following your directions, to the letter, I have been able to get my navbar working great! Now, on to the menu bar.

Now, I have a problem. I did the same thing for my menu bar (text on bottom) as I did for my nav bar (graphic/text on left). The nav bar works great but the menu bar does not. Any ideas as to my problem???

OOPS! I forgot to read the part about "no problems". I apologize - Moderator, you may delete this post. Sorry!!!

If you want the pages where the menubar is to center, is it possible? You said somewhere here that IMPORTANT!! DON’T “ center in browser ” THE Menu Page.. Why not?

Because what needs to be centered is the html box in your pages (which needs to be the same size as your menu). Once you have centered the html box, the menu doesn't need to be centered. If you center it and you don't set the menu page width to be the same as your menu, it will not even appear it it will only partially appear.

Well I have problems of my own. I haven't bought my domain or anything yet since I am still building my websites but I tried this with one of my sites by uploading it to *******s and it doesn't work... My site is www.*******s.com/actiontradeonline and I even added the http://www.*******s.com/actiontradeonline/main.html part to the index code for the I-frame so it would link to main.html which is the menu bar etc. Also, half my page gets cut off - not literally though. Actually moved down off screen with a big gap that... shouldn't be there. Everything else is intact though but it just doesn't seem to be functioning right. I'm a total noob at coding but I'm okay with basic html and BBcode. Bluevoda is not too hard for me to use but this has got me totally confused.

You are trying to load on *******s pieces of code that you copy / paste to create your pages.
BV won't work like this, it uses many files that ere automatically uploaded etc.

Get your account and publish there, and everything will go in place and work just fine.

TCJJ · #41 01-25-2008, 07:01 AM

Oh ok. One problem is VH is good but it costs heaps ($100USD for I think it's a year) and that's money I don't have... Plus if I did purchase it, I am not sure but I think that if you are still building your website but want to test it, you have to purchase a domain and account which starts the count down for your yearly purchase when I want to have it completed before I purchse my account but there seems to be no other way to test it. So yea, it's the money factor that I am having a problem with. I have just begun work on my website so I don't want to finish it when my hosting expires (unless I pay more money whch I don' ven ave enough to pay for the first time).

Any solutions would be highly and greatly appreciated.

Oh by the way, would it be wise to delete that now seemingly useless *******s account? Can't wait for a solution...

Hey have a question I posted an Iframe on my page test2 at vortexairtools.com but it allways tells me that
Not Found

The requested URL /www.vortexairtools.com/menu_vortex.html was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

But when you go to the page www.vortexairtools.com/menu_vortex.html you will find it is posted.I am not surewhy this happens?
Regards
Sinisa

What's the URL of the test 2 page ?

Make sute to put the http:// infront of www..... in the I frame URL

This sounds like what I am looking for (closest and easiest to implement anyway). Unfortunately, I have been trying to get it to work unsuccessfully for the last 24 hours.

I have a main page which I've called "index2".
I have also created a header page called "common-header" containing images, menu and contact details that will appear on all pages.
I have also created a trailer page called "common-trailer" containing images and (word)menu details that appear on every page.

Then

I have added all the transparency html to the header and trailer pages
I have overlaid index2 with common-header and common-trailer in the appropriate place.
I have updated all the links to "_top".

Lastly I have published (seperately) common-trailer and common-header, then saved and published index2 with both overlays on top.

Everything behaves as described by yourself. I then go to look at result on-line and find ..... nothing but a "404 Not Found" message for each of the 3 pages:

I would expect to find the header or trailer at least but they don't appear to be there.

If I go back and use the preview button for index2 with the overlays in place, I see the contents of index2 but get "404" messages for the overlays. These messages also suggest I go to my existing on-line website (which will be replaced by this if I ever get it to work)

i.e.

Sorry, the specified document is not available at this location.

Can you spot anything obvious please?
