Front Page web site problems

[Philip]

Front Page has set my web site in code to "Absolute" which means when people
view my web site on a small monitor it cuts the web site almost in half.
Furthermore you cannot print out the whole page.
This is my business site. Can anyone help.

Front Page has set my web site in code to "Absolute" which means when

people
view my web site on a small monitor it cuts the web site almost in half.

This is sort of like saying "My car has hit a telephone pole." Who was
driving the car?

You (the driver) will have to edit the web pages so that they don't use
absolute pixel values. How you do this depends on what sort of HTML elements
you're working with. If you can post a URL to the page(s) in question, we
can help you more.

Thank you for responding and I am working as hard as I can to understand. I
am very new to this and need to understand. What is a URL and where do I find
it and how do I post it.

Thank you for responding and I am working as hard as I can to understand.
I
am very new to this and need to understand. What is a URL and where do I
find
it and how do I post it.

With all due gentleness and respect, it makes no sense to try and produce
web pages until you have more basic knowledge than this. I would recommend
some very basic beginner's tutorials or books on how the web works, how to
use a browser, etc., before going any further. If you'd like
recommendations, we can post some, but a Google search for free basic
tutorials on using the Web or an Amazon search for books should turn up some
good options.

Having said that, we've all been there at some point, so no judgment is
implied!

My URL is www.segagymnastics.com

Have you viewed your web in Firefox yet?

Don't use any items from FP's Draw toolbar; textboxes, shapes, etc, they
rely on VML which is works only in IE and on a PC and if displayed at all in
other browsers it's a downlevel gif. Look at the jaggies and you'll see.

Also...why are you using frames on that web? Totally not needed and will
lead to frustration for you and your viewers...navigation wise, seo wise and
bookmarking wise.

What is a jaggie

 

[Kevin Spencer]

A "jaggie" is a jagged edge, such as a curve that has jagged edges because
of the pixels at the edge of the transparent area. A GIF image can only have
one transparent color, so it can not have variable transparency (it cannot
be partially transparent or translucent anywhere).

What Rob is getting at is that a web site has HTML documents in it that will
be viewed by many different types of browsers on many different types of
computers, not just Internet Explorer running on Microsoft Windows.
Therefore, using Word Art, which is a proprietary Microsoft Office
technology, and is rendered in the browser using VML (Vector Markup
Language). VML is not a proprietary Microsoft Offic technology, but it is
not widely used or supported, and can be easily a problem when used in HTML
documents because it relies on its own positioning and scaling rules.

You should stick with straight HTML until you understand it better. Don't
try to do anything too fancy. And if you need any tips, come on back and
we'll be glad to help.
