I need urgent HTML Help!!

[Dharman100]

Hello ppl...

Thanks for stopping by this emergency message.. I have to submit my own website as my HTML project for my Informatics Application Project.. I am nearly 100% complete but I have 2 bugging problems.. I simply don't know how to solve it... Below are the problems..

1) My horizontal frame is loaded with pics and I dont know how to make it resize itself when the size of the window is changed...

2) I am supposed to make it run on a Sun-based OS, The Solaris...namely on the Hotjava Browser.. But when i tried it in the Lab, I am having problems with the hyperlink in the main frame...In other browsers(Netscape and IE) it opens perfectly(in the same frame while maintaining the side frame and the horizontal frame).. In Hotjava its not doing so..opening only the hyperlink which i clicked..

And one more thing.. I am also having problem copying my project files in to the Solaris system...The filenames seems to change itself, thus making it unavailable for the hyperlinks...

Thanks a million for your 0attention ands time...

Mfg,
Dharman100

Ughs.. frames are so.. 1990s..

As for your problem..

1. It resized fine for me?

2. If you coded right, it should display fine on ALL browsers as there is no need to code differently for different platforms. Keep in mind that Unix systems are case-sensitive. My guess is that you probably messed up there.

Geocities sucks too.. you have just ran out of bandwidth right after I took a look at the website!

1) The horizontal frame you mentioned .. is it the top one? In my browser (IE-based AvantBrowser) the banner resizes nicely when the browser is resized. I'm not sure what's the problem you said ..

2) By default all hyperlinks are opened in the same frame/window unless otherwise specified ... to specify where would a link be opened add a "target" to the <a href> tag. Example:<A HREF="main.htm" target=_self>
Here are some predefined target:

_self = same window/frame
_parent = the parent window/frame of current frame
_top = top container - breaking out of all framesets
_blank = new window

You can also set the target to be a frame. Just put the name of the frame as the target. So if you want to force a link to open in the same frame, specify _self as the target. In addition if you want all links in a page open to the same frame, put this tag in the HEAD section:<BASE TARGET=_self>
mmm I can't help you in the problem of copying files to Solaris because I don't have a Solaris OS. In fact I never use a Solaris before so I don't even know how does it look like :P

Hope this helps ..

One way to ensure cross-platform compatibility for webpages is by validating all your code in w3c (http://www.w3.org/).

just a tip. You might want to use CSS. It helps you to get rid fo the frame and replace it with something nicer.

I wanted to suggest this but it'll be a little trouble for him to redo everything ;) CSS is seriously useful though. Do consider it for your future projects.. it's the "correct" way of doing layouts.

Here's a good free webhost:linky (http://www.nexuswebs.net/)

Ditch geocities immediately!!

i agree.
css is the way to go.
when u want to change the layout of ur website, it's easier to edit one file instead of all the files.
it also helps making ur site looks better even without any graphics.
i use w3school website for references.

there's a bunch of other things as well.
go visit this site which i built using css and very few graphics.

Yeah, I fully agree that Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) is very good.

dharman100, just a pointer, when you declare the variable name or rather function name for CSS makes sure those name makes sense, so that it is easier for you to track.
