Title and navigation menue

[backhoe58]

I am trying to rebuild my site using the Crimson template from the included with the program. I want my business name and navigation information to carry through all the pages I set up, but can not seem to figure it out. I have used Front Page in the past, and was able to do it with that program, but I really like the templates included with Web Easy.

Thanks

I share your frustration on this one.
the only way to do this in web easy is you get to choose a top, or side, frame, not both, and it will be the same on all pages. then when you build your site choose "build as a dynamic HTML" the next line down choose "with split in frame set".

You can also design your elements and then copy paste them to your pages.

Or you could use an iframe script.

Thanks for the information. I am pretty frustrated with the lack of documentation with this program. I think I will go back to Front Page if I can't get this figured out pretty soon.

I thought that and then went on a search for new software and decided that nothing is perfect and at least I do have quite a bit of freedom of design with web easy it's just some of the more custom things you have to find a way to make them work with web easy's limitations.

iframes aren't that hard to do.

How do I create an inline frame (IFRAME) using Web Easy Professional?


Inline frames can be a little tricky, but you can create them as follows.

Solution

1) Add a page to your site - this page will be used as the inline frame. Put whatever you want on the page, then make a note of the page number.
2) Go to the "Build" menu and select "Web Site (HTML)". Make a note of the Package Name then click Cancel.
3) Go to the page where you want the inline frame to be.
4) Add an image to this page - this image will be replaced by the inline frame when you view your site in your web browser.
5) Select the image then go to the "Tools" menu and select "Custom Script Assistant".
6) Select the "Object" events button then enter the following code in the "Contents" box:

<iframe src="mysite_002.htm" width="200" height="200">
</iframe>

...but replace "mysite" with the Package Name of your site, and replace "002" with the three digit page number of the page mentioned in step 1. You will need to set the width and height appropriately for your design.
7) Click OK.

The iframe won't work in preview mode, so to preview your site in your web browser, do the following:

1) Go to the "Build" menu and select "Web Site (HTML)".
2) Check the "run now" box and un-check the "publish" box.
3) Click OK.

If you can't see the inline frame when you view your site in your web browser, try chaning the Package Name on the "Build Web Site" screen so that it's all lower case and contains no spaces or other punctuation. You will also need to change the iframe code in step 6 to match.

Targeting Links to IFRAMEs

You need to give the iframe a name, then use the "Link to Script" option for your links so you can target the iframe. For example:

1) Use the following code to create the iframe:

<iframe name="iframe01" src="mysite_002.htm" width="200" height="200">
</iframe>

...the name can be whatever you want, provided it starts with a letter, and has no spaces or punctuation.
2) Select the text or image that you want to link so it opens in the iframe.
3) Click the "Link" button in the top toolbar.
4) Select the "Internet" tab.
5) Select the "Script" button.
6) In the "Script" box, enter the following code:

href="mysite_003.htm" target="iframe01"

...but replace "mysite_003.htm" with the name of the page to link to, and make sure "iframe01" matches the name specified for the iframe.
7) Click OK.

If you want to have links to other sites open in the iframe, you need to enter the full URL of the other site (eg: http://www.othersite.com/xxx) in place of "mysite_003.htm" in step 6.

BackHoe,

I am not sure if I am going to answer you question but here goes:

If you want the Navigation and your Header to carry on to all the pages, then open up your Crimson Website, delete all the pages but the first one.

Save this one as your template, name it whatever you want. Create all the changes that you want all your pages to have in common. Save it. Now add pages using this template.

If later on down the line you have to change your navigation or anything do it to your template and it will automatically correct on the rest of the pages that you are using this template on.

I was reading further down on this thread and wbdesigner talked about frames. I have not messed with frames and if this is what you are looking for he did have a detailed description on that.

I hope this helps,
Russell
