I am not new to computers though, since is what I've been working with for the past 4 years. Anyways, I decided to make a website using frontpage since I've used it to do some small updates to a website for the company I used to work for and I came with this idea that I've seen before on other websites, since I want to do a not "too big website". Here is the link for a big picture of how it is looking so far Web Sample And this is a small view of it What I want to do, and is what I hope someone can help me with, is to make that little square where it says "Description about business" stay the same size and have a scrollbar on it so the box can have more text without getting bigger (higher I mean). And the second and last thing is that I don't want the whole page to reload when the buttons are clicked, but that the content of that box to load with the new info (depending of the button pressed) so that the rest of the page, including the flash animation and the music I want to add to the website doesn't stop and restart everytime you click on any of the button. Again, I hope this is not too complicated to explain to me. Thank you in advance for your help on my first website project

Don't have music automatically playing. Unless the business is a band it has no business (mmm?) having music playing. If you must have music and flash on the page then allow it to be turned on and off. You'll find both annoy the heck out of people if they can't turn it off and they'll leave the site. If it's a short Flash ad then it's not going to matter if the page changes and it starts again. If it's a long flash explanation or demo then it should be something people can start and stop as they wish. Having it running all the time takes attention away from the rest of your page. Second Eeeek. The old way of doing this was to have frames. Frames cause all sorts of problems though so avoid them if at all possible. Go to the tutorials at the top of this page, click the Frontpage link, scroll down a bit to the "Getting Started with FrontPage" link then read the one about using Includes. That will allow you to have just one header and one menu bar that get called in to all pages. If you make a change in them it goes across the whole site. Third Eeeeky. Developing using Internet Explorer only will mean that when you have finished what looks like a very nicely designed site, if you load it up in Firefox or Opera etc, it'll be all over the place. Download Firefox and keep checking your pages in that. When they work there, then fix for IE. Fourth. When you get stuck and you need help on here, upload your latest page to the web, finished or not, so we can see it and the code behind it. Makes our life a lot easier. PS. Myspace isn't a word you should mention in the same breath as web design. Myspace code should be listed under the category of "Pig's Ear" < Message edited by jaybee -- 5/3/2008 9:20:53 > _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.
