erinatkins -> adding a line (5/20/2002 13:29:11)

Hi & thanks in advance.

I am working on a site - http://varichmond.com/pws/ & my boss would like to add a vertical line near the navigation. Blue.

What would be the best way to this?
Where should I add in Border or in body?

Thanks
Erin

 



caywind -> RE: adding a line (5/20/2002 13:46:24)

want it on every page? if so you'll put it in the border and you'll probably need a table which you may already have. The page is in _borders...

erinatkins -> RE: adding a line (5/20/2002 14:01:00)

Yes I want it on every page.

Since I navigation buttons will that effect anything?

Thanks
Erin

You could drop a vertical line graphic into a table cel... or format a table border to be a blue vertical line on one side.

Either way, as long as you don't disturb the code for your nav. buttons, it shouldn't hurt them in any way.

I will give it a try - worse thing I can do is mess it up

Thanks

HELP -

Tried putting in table if you look at http://varichmond.com/pws/ - it does not put around naviagation buttons. Is there a way to do this? I tried making table longer but it pushes menu down.

Thanks
Erin

Lame bump for help

 



caywind -> RE: adding a line (5/20/2002 19:06:48)

is it trying repeat down through the cell?

I wanted to tell you that I was goofing around with the code with mixed results. A long graphic pushes the buttons down unless it is exactly the correct length. harder to maintain. nI had no luck with the table border suggestion. I could make a border but only in black?? CSS? anyway I'm back at my desk plugging away...

caywind -> RE: adding a line (5/20/2002 20:05:25)

this is the most luck I've had so far, (wish LB was around). www.awebmasters.net/newtest1.htm

it's a two cell table. I put all the buttons in the left cell and a graphic in the right. I set the properties for the first cell alignment to be "top". since I don't have that theme I can't see what happens to the space between the buttons and the bar....

Hello Erin,

The most common way is to add a new column next to your navigation and change that cell color to whatever you like than put in a 1x1 transparent image and set the cell width to 1px.

Caywind & Godshall2

I will try these this AM & let you know how it goes.

Thanks

Andy from Spain -> RE: adding a line (5/21/2002 7:26:03)

Hi Erin

I've found that Netscape will often make the cell width to be more than one pixel wide, might not be a problem but if it is I use a graphic with a one pixel line tagged on to a white graphic much wider than the cell and use it as a cell background.

Cheers

erinatkins -> RE: adding a line (5/21/2002 7:39:47)

Ran into a problem this AM tried to add a table near it & it seems to disreguard it.

How can I do this if this is in the code on the left border page?
<body>
<p>
<!--webbot bot="Navigation" S-Orientation="vertical" S-Rendering="graphics" S-Type="top" B-Include-Home="TRUE" B-Include-Up="FALSE" --></p>
<p> </p>

</body>
</html>

Thanks Erin

 



Bill Seper -> RE: adding a line (5/21/2002 11:24:05)

Hi Erin,

If I were you I think I'd just go ahead and make my buttons in a graphics program so I could add all the lines and junk I wanted and then splice the bottuns before exporting. It's really the only way you can be sure your lines and buttons will be the way you want them in any browser.

Bill Seper -> RE: adding a line (5/21/2002 11:25:57)

I could do something like this with cells but you'll find the cell and table widths are hard to keep the same between NS and IE as Andy said:

erinatkins -> RE: adding a line (5/21/2002 12:19:41)

Bill & Andy,

Thanks for your help. Can we just outlaw Netscape & avoid 1/2 the problem?

Bill - I see what you mean. It Would work great excepr for that 1 problem.

I guess I will have to do buttons from scratch.

Thanks
Erin

 



piquet -> RE: adding a line (5/21/2002 12:38:17)

I canīt add anything to the previous suggestions, but I have noticed something else that needs repairing on the site. Viewing in 800 x 600, the text extends beyond the top graphic and requires scrolling. It needs to be put in a table to be under the graphic.

Look after #1 and donīt step in #2.



erinatkins -> RE: adding a line (5/21/2002 12:42:36)

Piquet -

Thanks for the info. I will try to get to that later today or tom. I need to do some of the accounting part of my job.

Thanks again,

Erin

 



caywind -> RE: adding a line (5/21/2002 12:54:32)

Erin, sorry to confuse. I thought the buttons were separate hovers or java rollovers. That code looks like a Navbar? Since I'm not able to see the code in your hidden folders I didn't catch it....

saw the text on the right deal, figured you knew...

erinatkins -> RE: adding a line (5/21/2002 13:13:15)

Caywind,

Thats ok. I thought you could add lines over in the navagation.

I have done drop menus before & java buttons before. However I liked the look of these buttons & hoped I could use them & a line

Guess I have a busy day tom.

Thanks
Erin

 



bobby -> RE: adding a line (5/21/2002 16:22:49)

If you like the look of those buttons, and want an easy fix to "create" new ones, just take a screen shot of your web in a preview and cut out the buttons!

Bill Seper -> RE: adding a line (5/21/2002 17:19:31)

Hey, here's a thought: Keep everything the way it is and just make a blue vertical line in a graphics program to the dimensions you want and insert it in the cell where I have the big blue line now. Make the line any thickness you like and position it to the left upper corner of the cell. Piece of cake! That way you can keep your hovers and whatnot with very little work. I mean, gee, how does it take to make a long, straight, line in any graphics program--5-minutes? As long as you have it within its own cell it won't effect the postion of the buttons.

Loooooky!

http://swoopie.com/erin1/erin.htm

I just used Image Composer for it. Open up a blank page in it and choose "insert/clip art". There's quite a few horizontal lines in the clip art folder to choose from. That's where I got this one. Just pick one you like and then rotate it 90% to make it vertical and resize it to fit. Of course you undoubtedly have several programs with horizontal lines in them. For that matter you could get one out of the FP Themes folder.

s-WHOOOP-ie!
Lookie like prettie good fix to me!

Erin...love the attitude. "worst I can do is mess it up"...
I think I'll make it a motto. I try to make it puuuurrrrfect
before I publish, and 9 times out of 10...it isn't.

And 9 times out of 10 I find out...
it's still 100 times better than what they expected.

erinatkins -> RE: adding a line (5/22/2002 7:12:24)

Bill,

Looks great I will have to try that. Great idea. Two thumbs up!!!

Patty - with my life as it is, messy up is the least of my concerns.

Thanks again,

Erin

My point, exactly. Don't sweat the petty stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff!

It seems to be coming along nicely.

Thanks for all the help.
