I'm shit at it, I'll be the first to admit it.
1) I need to create a hyperlink that opens in a new window, rather than simply switches to that new page and
2) I need to create a link to another page on another site, but half way down the page. I thought I'd just...
url#text (for instance http:\\www.dvdrhelp.com#can anyone help?) but it isn't working.
Does that only work on the same page the hyperlink appears on?
Is so, can anyone help me link half waqy down a page on another site?
Can anyone help?
Many thanks,
Will

Thanks though, although at this precise second I haven't a clue what you mean
Give me an hour to mull it over.

looks like you cut and pasted the code from above into Frontpage?
Frontpage will convert the code tags wrong.
If you want to cut and paste text from any site, first paste it to notepad then copy it from notepad and paste it to frontpage....
if your doing code from a page you have to go to html view in frontpage fitst....
Clear as mud? -
Yeah, I understand that
I only showed it as I'd pasted it, uploaded it then saw your message and tried that straight away.
I was going to edit the page but as yours worked I didn't need to.
You any thoughts on my second problem...
...opening another link half way down the page?
Will
edit.............actually I didn't know that, I didn't know I had to paste it to notepad first.
Do I paste it into notpad exactly as it was shown (if I ever need do it again)?
edit2.............I did paste it into the html part, I'm not that daft
although I always seem to run into this problem (it always displays as text)

Yep cause Frontpage will also paste the code and you don't want the code, you just want the text...Originally Posted by Will Hay
I'm not sure what you're asking in the other question...have an example? -
I just want to create a hyperlink to another page, but when that page opens I don't want the user to have to scroll down it to find the info, I want it to appear straight away.
I want to create a hyperlink that opens a page at say half way down.
Like this on dvdrhelp:
https://www.videohelp.com/tools#Video Bitrate Calculators
My difference is I'm trying to do this on another site, not on the same page (as the above example demonstrates).
Thanks,

Actually no. It'll open a blank window and open the link in it.Originally Posted by Will Hay

I know this is gonna sound really picky but...Originally Posted by stiltman
...whilst this option is great and just what I'm looking for, it opens the link full size.
Is there a way to open the link in a small window (so the original source page can still be seen underneath).
My trouble is my audience my not be completely clued up in ways of the web, and may not know how to use the back button!

so, by pasting into notepad first I lose the code, and then when I paste it into frontpage it makes it's own code?Originally Posted by stiltman
I think I have it now, unless you tell me different

Notepad is for the hard-core HTML editors. If on IE, click View, then click "Source". It will open Notepad and you will see html code. This is how I went about creating this:Originally Posted by Will HayOh, and g_shocker...

Its sort of like the Matrix. Where the operators and unplugged people read the code and "see" action.

Sorry Will, I use Java code open and close windows..
You might try putting this in after the _blank
width="200" height="200"
in FP highlight the text or button that you've made to a hyperlink
Once it's highlighted
click on the "html" at bottom of the page window in FP
Now you should see a bunch of text with some highlighted
look for this target="_blank">
right between the " and > click your mouse the | should be blinking there now. Now type width="200" height="200"
click back on "normal" right next to "html" and that will bring you back to the normal view.
Save it and see what happens -
Man, that is html for beginner's, isn't it?Originally Posted by stiltman

Actually, thanks, I'm very grateful stiltman
I'll try it tonight when I get home and report back.

Will, you can use the "_blank" direction (and name it anything you want) or also small javascript programs will do the trick and you can get fancier - if you want.
To make the NEW page load at a specific spot within that page, you add anchors at appropriate positions and name those anchors in the links.
Note: the page and spot you link to would have to be one you created and edited. Since you can't (of course) place anchors on someone else's site pages.
I use Dreamweaver for anything with tables, but notepad for everything else. So I don't know - or want to know! - :c) Frontpage.
If you want, send me a zipped file and what you want, and I'll plug in the right stuff for you. Unless you'd prefer to learn it all yourself. But, if you're in a hurry and don't dream of going pro with it, or whatever, let me know. But you can't achieve what you want to do on someone else's site unless their site has an already available anchor, which it just might. (For instance, DVDRhelp is loaded with anchors.) ;c)There's no place like 127.0.0.1

Thanks Gees, I'll have a play around tonight when I get home (if I had MS FP here at work I'd be doing it now
) and drop you a line if I get stuck.

Hey! No need for that! Nothing to be ashamed of. You should have seen my first! :cD And I went on to do it freelance and made a pretty penny out of it. :c)
Seriously, we're all friends here, aren't we?
Were all of our first DVDs perfect? I'd bet..... No! Had to learn as we went, right?
It's up to you if you want to share it or not, but presumably, that's what it's there for - or you could have done it on a piece of paper and kept it on your dining room table! :cD :c) I bet worst you'd get is some helpful, constructive criticism, right guys? :c)
Promise! That means all of you :cD
PS Yeah, Will, if you know him, that's great. It'd take all of 3 seconds for him to do for you. And get him more traffic too!There's no place like 127.0.0.1

Nah, I'm pretty cool with it actually, I'm a big enough boy to take some heat.
It's just that such advice from you folks in such a short space of time leads me to believe you all have super-duper websites is all
Anyhow...
.....
www.milfordfc.com
Ive had it three years, and the format it's in now is it's second transformation.
There are bound to be some deads links/error's in it, I've just switched it all over to a new server and in my niavity I had all the links and images as a full web link (www.milfordfc.fsnet.co.uk/milford/images/logo.gif) rather than just the folder path (/images/logo.gif) so had to change them all
It took me quite a while

Is that you? 5th from the left - front row?
It looks fine, Will. Like you said, couple of missing links spotted so far.
If you really do want constructive criticism :c) do you want them in PMs?
Is it the "official" site for the team or more an effort of the heart for you?There's no place like 127.0.0.1

Yup, sounds about right.Originally Posted by Gees
No, fire away here my friendOriginally Posted by Gees
Both really.Originally Posted by Gees
Without me and a couple of others there wouldn't be a team, let alone a website!
I must confess I'd prefer something a little more professional.
I know it looks amateur but my limit is to work from a template, I don't have the ability (or, I must confess, the time - what with a 18 month old son) to start from scratch.
I can see what I want in my head but putting it down is another thing
I feel it's a little too 'big', if you know what I mean.
I'd like it discreet but informal.
Perhaps similar in style (ie. menu buttons on the left but a single logo in the top left, maybe small text milfordfc.com in the top right and then pretty much as it is now, ie. squad photo in the middle and nothing much else.
Plus, the colours are a little bright aren't they (although green is our kit colour)?
I always seem to have trouble with background's too.
People have suggested I just use white but I'm not sure (you'll notice the colour of the index page is white, it shouldn't be - that's another fault)
Willtgpo, my real dad, told me to make a maximum of 5,806 posts on vcdhelp.com in one lifetime. So I have. -
Yes, websites can take up a lot more of your time than you have to give. :c)
The first thing I spotted was "photo's" s/b "photos". Since it's a gif and not text and you're at work and very busy :cD I took the liberty of fixing it for you. So you can just plunk it in as a replacement if you want.
I could email it to your site email address, if you'd like of course. :c)
If you want any help from time to time, just let me know. I've done loads of sites both as labo(u)rs of love and as paid jobs, so I've probably run up against any questions you might have (although - like I said - I work in notepad, not frontpage) so if you need any advice, ask away. :c)
PS what should the background be? I could d/l the page and fix it and email that too. (Last thing.... I'd justify the text rather than just center. Instantly makes it look slicker, IMHO.)
Oh - I see now, it should be "rice". As in rice paper? You are missing some coding on that and you have ummm some unique ways pf referencing pages! :cD You've made it so you can't get at all the source in one go. Must have been a well-devised plan to keep people from stealing your design, right?
Anyway, if I can get at it all, and you want me to, I could DL it, clean it up a bit and send it back to you. All you'd need to do is reload it.There's no place like 127.0.0.1

Plus....
I know the link buttons are shit!
I have a little problem with Front Page, it's not exactly the best package is it?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking it (it's been fantastic for me) but, to give you an example, I can't get those two crest's at the very top directly in the centre of the green band, they're too high, you see it?

Yeah, I see it. That's what's good about notepad - you can tweak it. It's just easier for me to use that.
