Users not seeing what was designed!

[Karyn Dawes]

Web site in questions: www.dogpatchdogsports.com

I came to work this morning and went to review (from a
different machine/environment) a web site that I re-
designed this past weekend. A couple of things are
happening:

1) I'm not seeing my 'buttons' that were created to get
you from page to page.

2) The header isn't centered.

3) Another user gets the 'buttons' but they are covered up
by the header (on some pages)

Is there something I should be doing to ensure that users
see what is being created? I am still fairly new to web
design ~ just me and my book!

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Karyn

In addition, the "overlapping" may be due to the use of absolute
positioning, which may behave differently in different browsers, screen
sizes, and resolutions.

Thanks! How do I create mouse over images? I used to tools
available in FP for the Hover buttons.

Karyn -

You would use the DHMTL swap images function. Basically, you design two
graphics, one for the normal state and one for the mouseover state, then
apply this effect.

You CAN use absolute positioning, by calculating the absolute position
(usually in layers).
To to this use document.write('...')

Example:

<!-- starting layer script , auto positioning -->
<script>
var hw = document.body.clientWidth;
var picsizh = document.images[0].width;
document.write('<div style="position: absolute; width: 925px; height:
100px; z-index: 1; left: ' + ((hw/2) - (picsizh/2)) + 'px; top: 546px"
id="layer1">');
</script>
<!-- back to normal -->

<!-- this section is a normal table, carefull, shows up in wrong place
in design mode due to script-->
<table width="806">
<tr>
<td id="CaptionBox3" class="Caption" align="center"
valign="middle" height="39">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td id="CaptionBox4" class="Caption" align="center"
valign="middle" height="37">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- end of normal table-->

<!-- ending layer -->
<script>
document.write('</div>');
</script>

You might want to use tables for layout. You can make them with 0-sized
borders, and the table itself doesn't show, but you can use it to place
other HTML elements inside it. While I consider using CSS to be
fundamentally a better approach, using tables is much easier for beginner
HTML developers. If you have FrontPage 2003, you can use Layout Tables,
which are basically HTML tables with 0-sized borders. However, the FP 2003
interface has some nice quick ways to create them.
