Yippeee  I finally did it
-----------------------------------
Hey guys

I finally did it ...yes I did, I finally got my website created and uploaded.  I think it all works.  Thought you might like to take a peek and let me know if you spot anything you think needs fixing or just some hints at anything you think would make it better.

Reminds me I must someday actually get my site up and not keep deleting it. It wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't paying for it.  ](*,)  ](*,)

I just took a look at your website.  It has a good look.

One problem that i has was the menu on the left side on the main page (the writing in red), didn't work.  I took a look at the page's source and found that the HREF tags for the menu are in the blocks of commented out code. 

The buttons on the bottom of the page did work.

Oh, and on your Favorites page, I found a new place to visit.

Thanks you guys....I knew I could rely on you to have a look for anything that didn't work.

Pangor...you say the writing in red didn't work...did you mean the links on the home page...I have checked them out and they seem to be working for me...I use frontpage and it puts the code in automatically...I haven't got that far to be able to do the coding myself yet.  I am glad you found a new site.

By the way if any of you want to put a link to your website on my links page just send me the url and I will add it on.

Tormie..I will sort out a banner for you and send it over thanks.

Nex..I am glad you liked that one I had fun doing it...all it was a reflect map that I played around with as a body tex..

That explains that.  If the red links are written using the features of frontpage, then they will work for people using Internet Explorer, but not for other browsers that don't use the IE rendering engine.  I viewed your site using Mozilla, it would not have worked with any of the other browsers that I use on the internet either.

Hey Pangor..thanks for telling me that ..I didn't know that frontpage used stuff that other browsers would not recognise.  I will make sure that at least they have other buttons that will work on all the pages anyway.  Thanks for the help

I used the "Page Source" menu option of Mozilla to look the the html code of the page.  I then used the "Save Page As" menu option of the html source window to save a local copy of it to disk.  I am now trying to tighten up the conditional blocks so that the page will still work the same in IE and the links will also work with other browsers.

This is a habit that I got into from working with open source software.  If you detect a problem that you are able to fix, fix it and then send a copy of it or a patch file back to the developer of the software.  In this case I was going to try to fix the html code and send you a copy of it.  If you feel that I have overstepped by bounds, let me know and I will stop.

No that is fine...I was just worried that there was a way to hack into my site...I hear so much about people having their site hacked into and messed up I thought there was something I was going to have to learn about safeguarding my site.   Just as a thought I have been looking at trying to stop people right clicking on my pictures to save them off the site.  The only problem is that each picture loads into a different page when you click on them to view them and I don't know how to apply the no right click on those pages...any ideas?

I have not tried to diable rightclicking the images.  I assume that you need to use javascript to do it.

I have attached a copy of your index.html page that I have updated.

The formatting of the html  generated by Microsoft FrontPage 6.0 is a mess, but then most machine generated html code is messy and I am used to work with hand coded pages.  That said, I made the most minimal needed for supporting internet explorer, other graphical browsers and text mode browsers.  The modified code should render to the same look as the original does.

To paraphrase Scotty:  Writing the modificatins was easy, reading FrontPage html code was hard! ;-)

The original code provided two version of the menu for the left side of the page.  If the browser is compatible with frontpage, it provides a text menu with appropriate HREF tags.  If the browser is graphical but not compatible with frontpage, it provides the text of the menu in the forms of prerendered images but failed to provide the HREF tags, so they were not functional links.  For text based browsers, the menu did not work.

The modified code is unchanged for frontpage compatible browsers.  For graphical browsers not compatible with frontpage, the menu now has working HREF tags.   For text based browsers, the menu text is now and links are now functional.  I also added a "BASE HREF" tag that links to your website so that you can work with an off line copy of the page and preview it using the on-line copy of the images and links.  I use that for testing the modified page with your actual website while the page was still on my  harddrive.

Pangor is right, you need javascript to disable any right clicking on your site, http:\www.javasource.com is a good resource. The only way someone can hack into your site is through an unsecure server. The webpage code is in a file on a server that any web browser that accesses that file, downloads it and then executes the code locally on the machine. If someone were to gain access to that server, or more specifically the portion of disk space that has been allocated to your account, then they have free reign to upload whatever to your site and change whatever passwords and or settings they want. Bottom line is: keep your passwords to yourself, and keep them complex enough to prevent someone from guessing but yet easy enough to remember.

alpha numeric is good...

thanks poserkatz...sorry I didn't get back to you but I have been so busy lately.  One question....will this stop the right click on a redirected page...my problem is that the pictures I want to protect are in an album set up and it brings the main picture up in a new page  so I need something that would do that but I don't know of any off hand...anyone out there know of anything

Not without coding every single page that opens in a seperate window, or utilizing .php or .asp or some sort of server side coding. Either way, to make it work you need a way to insert the code inside the page on the site.

But thats not to say that someone with an image grabber can't steal it that way. Then all they need is the URL of the image and it can be swiped that way.

Unfortunately...
