Hi Stuart: Looks great and it is a lot faster. The graphics of course could be upgraded (Not the harbour picture which is perfect) That streaky line background could be replaced with some great tonal effects... just ask Karen. ;-) Jim -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Stuart McLachlan Sent: Friday, November 21, 2008 3:44 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] OT: Web Design I've just updated my site at http://www.lexacorp.com.pg over the last few days. I built it using frames <bleuch> about 6 or 7 years ago and it was looking very tired and old fashioned. The new version uses Server Side Includes for a consistent layout That way I just need a line <!--#include virtual="header.html" --> in each page rather than repeating all the background, header image, menu code etc. I do the same for the footer. Incidentally, the menu is a straight lift from <quote> /*********************************************** * CSS Horizontal List Menu- by JavaScript Kit (www.javascriptkit.com) * Menu interface credits: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/csslibrary/item/glossy-vertical- menu/ * This notice must stay intact for usage * Visit JavaScript Kit at http://www.javascriptkit.com/ for this script and 100s more ***********************************************/ </quote> Feel free to steal any ideas you need for content. Rocky's site, build by Karen Rosenstiel, may give you a few ideas too. Actually, I've never found a WYSIWYG site designer that I like - I've ended up doing it hand with a text editor which understands HTML syntax.
