Looks kind of like a hacking website from the 1990s.

It has a bit of a retro flair to it but this design style has been played out long ago. The coding also needs some work. Keep trying though.

a:link {
    color: #FF0000;
    text-decoration: none;

a:visited {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #FF0000;
}
a:hover {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #FF0000;
}

Should really be

CODE

a:link, a:visited, a:hover {
color: #FF0000;
text-decoration: none;

for your hr color inside your .css

CODE

hr {
color:#whatevercolorhere;
}

you should really code it for internet explorer aswel as for firefox. It is really important.
I think some of your java can be removed, not really necessary, also, i would not suggest iframes, but includ from php, which is really simple to use and gives the same effect. Really clean.

Your site doesn't need PNGs with full alpha transparency so why are you using them? All that results in is the unnecessary alienation of IE users. You could fully accomplish your website's design by solely using normal PNGs or GIFs.

i lol at Iex

maybe i could use png whot out transperesy, but the transperensy is needed in the frames

for include just do this

CODE

<?php include("mypage.php"); ?>

to have a target, its not include... this is how most people use includes :

They create 2 php pages : header.php and footer.php where they put there header and footer (basicly all informations before the main content (text) and information that goes after the main content.

than in a separate file such as index.php or home.php or any other pages they do :

CODE

<?php include("header.php"); ?>

This is some content that will be at some place on my site

<?php include("footer.php"); ?>

what it does is that instead of having a code in each page like : <html> <body> your metas... and your table... you have it in ONE file which might be header.php and than your basic file like index.php where you tell him to show this code by an include. and than at the end you close all your codes with the footer.php

to have this link system :

in your index.php (must be PHP)

put this code where you want your CONTENT or MAIN TEXT (or where you replace your iframe)

CODE

<?php
if(!isset($_GET['id'])) {
    include "home.php";
}elseif(!file_exists($_GET['id'].".php")) {
    include "error.php";
}else{ //if all goes well
    include $_GET['id'].".php";
};?>

lets explain :

the GET['id'] or the "id" is this : index.php?id=somepages its the "id" after the ?. you can replace that by what ever you want, but your urls must have it aswell.

Example : instead of

CODE

if(!isset($_GET['id'])) {

i put

CODE

if(!isset($_GET['page'])) {

my links will now be called : index.php?page=somepageshere

Than :

CODE

include "home.php";

is the First page your site will open, its basiclu the <b>src="home.html"</b> on your iframe.

Than :

CODE

include "error.php";

This is the page it'll go if you have no other pages... or if the page is not found.

And thats it :

now you need to have blank pages, or pages with some text that are in a php format and put it on the link, what itll do is in place of the code itll put your content. Just like an iframe.

Take it exactly like an iframe but without the sizing problem you use to have when you had bigger or smaller pages...

Easy to use, but kind of hard at first... but really.... once you got it... youll laugh and be happy to use this php iframe system and have your pages look like index.php?id=somepages ... coz it looks nicer

Good Luck

you bet

nicer and "pro" haha

some thing i did not understand in you tutorial tho

CODE

<?php
if(!isset($_GET['id'])) {
    include "home.php";
}elseif(!file_exists($_GET['id'].".php")) {
    include "error.php";
}else{ //if all goes well
    include $_GET['id'].".php";
};?>

this is my frame

which loads home.php at first

didnt quite get how my navbar should be whit the links TO the "phpFrame" (include frame)xD

and MrTouz ,the .css line did not work :\
i dont know if im using <hr> or <hr /> shouldnt have anything to say?

Banjo

Jan 16 2008, 01:57 PM

I dont know if you can. Can you just not have a iframe and have normal pages? But if you want scroll bars then you could try this.

CODE

<div style="height: 500px; width: 500px; overflow: auto">Content Here</div>

I found this aswell

Also some people use include on menu so that when they add a new link to their site instead of editing every page to add a new link just do one file.

ehm, im really confused

not sooo very good in english + im very new at php

how can i make a link in includeHEADER.php which only effects in includeCONTENT.php
im talking includes

and maybe offtopic!
ive tried out this page with only loaded one time <3
i know it didnt load superfast or something, kan i add all sites in 1 html\php site? hehe

MarketOne

Jan 16 2008, 04:40 PM

to show how much i suck.. i tried haha

http://fredrikape.99k.org/PHP/

http://fredrikape.99k.org/PHP/index.php?id=footer
why!!

i figured that

CODE

<?php
if(!isset($_GET['id'])) {
    include "home.php";
}elseif(!file_exists($_GET['id'].".php")) {
    include "error.php";
}else{ //if all goes well
    include $_GET['id'].".php";
};?>

would lead to 3 simple "includes" but they are all alike (id)

so i renamed (id, bd, ld) ¨didnt work so well

The question you need to ask yourself is "what is the need for this site?" Is it helpful to anyone or serve some purpose?

The whole idea of the layout is great a little changes here and there and it would be great
maybe changing the buttons so that the whole thing is clickable not just the text but the whole button its much easier for the visitors
different colors the colors are great but different hex there too bright hurts my eyes a little bit
try fixing those problems and the layout will be alot better
