Hello All,
This is my first post here and I am in a bit of a jam. I was just
recently hired as a webmaster for a big online store / catalog. Our
website looks like it is right out of 1999 it was stone age by modern
website standards. Here is the thing the site works, generates a ton
of traffic and my boss is afraid to do any major changes to it or move
it outside of Front Page. I never been a big fan of FP and maybe used
it once or twice despite the fact I have been building commercial
websites for almost 5 years now.
I welcomed the challenge of using Front Page to bring our website out
of the web stone age. My solution was to build components of the site
like the header in Dreamweaver then copy the code into FP along with
all the required files it needed to work. I found out VERY quickly it
wasn't all that simple as I had to work around shared borders and a
front page theme. There were bits of code I was taking out for the
horizontal navigation which I am assuming is required for the vertical
navigation to work.
On that note, last night we had our first big update for the new
header. One of my jobs as the publisher was to get everything live,
working and debugged. At first I did not include the front page
required bit of code for the horizontal nav which broke thevertical
nav. I failed to find a way to disable the FP horizontal nav on our
top shared border. I solved the problem by setting the FP horizontal
nav bellow the new header then making the buttons background
transparent so they wouldn't be noticeable.
I was up all night (3:30am) debugging and publishing the site on both
a PC and a Mac checking for cross browser compatibility. All seemed
good on my end and I had two other employees check on a different
machine. All was good until about 9:30 this morning when my boss
informed me that the horizontal navigation which I thought I had hid
was showing up in his Safari browser. Safari was the first browser I
checked the live site in last night and all seemed fine. He sent me a
screen shot and his style sheets also failed to change.
Immediately I thought it was a cache issue on his machine but he
claims he had other people check it and they were having the same
problem. He had me restore the BackUp copy of the site and I did it no
questions asked. So now I have the fun job of figuring out what the
heck went wrong. I have a feeling it is the cache on these other
machines but my boss insist it's not. So my question is ... Is it
possible to disable the horizontal navigation on a shared top border,
without breaking our theme orvertical navigation?
