lhunath 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2004 Honesty first, so Current impresion: Good navigation, easy and straightforward. Horrible layout. Far too many animating gifs etc. Terrible colour contrasts. Suggestions: Make everything flow over into each other more. Break the rectangular block views of the site. Remove all and any sort of animation, that includes the marquee (which is an illegal element of HTML, btw) Keep the navigation but frame it a little into something nice. Make the colours match better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lhunath 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2004 yugioh meant, you should use PHP instead of frames. What you do now is making 2 pages with content, a navigation page and a content page, and you put those next to each other with a frameset page. If you use include, you have 1 page, that brings the 2 pages together. <?php include [url-to-page]; ?>is how it works, and it actually takes the content of the page at the url you specified, and inserts it into the current page, on the position where you have your include : page 1.html blalblalblalbla page 2.html muhahaha page 3.php pompom <?php include "1.html" ?> pom <?php include "2.html" ?> pompidom If you show 3.php in a web browser, you'll see : pompomblalblalblalblapommuhahahapompidom ----What I meant was, you need to make it so that it doesn't appear as though there are rectangular things there. You have to make it so that every single object you see flows nicely into the object next to it; that doesn't have to be literal, but decent colours you can do alot.Some examples: http://browsehappy.com/ my pages: http://lhunath.com/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ (buggy ;/) http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ (under high construction) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
farrooda 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2004 Well lhunath I hope I am not bothering you too much,but when I include the pages,<?php include "menu.htm" ?><?php include "home.html" ?>the menu comes up and then the other comes after the first has finished if you understand what I mean i.e. I see the menu alone first and then when I scroll down I see home.html.Is there any way to fix this or I should include the menu in every page.But even if I include it in every page I will still face the same problem.Please help.

lhunath 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2004 You'll need to change quite a bit about your layout. First thing you'll need to do, is change all the content pages you have (the ones the navigation links to). You'll need to remove all tags except for those inside the <body>. For example if one of them was: <html> <head> <meta bla> <title> blup </title> </head> <body> <p>and other stuff</p> <table> <tr><td>tableness</td></tr> </table> </body> </html> then you have to finally only keep: <p>and other stuff</p> <table> <tr><td>tableness</td></tr> </table> (btw, do this for your nav page as well) Then, you make one new index page, which will later include your navigation & content pages : <your doctype> <html> <your head> </your head> <body> [your design] </body> </html> You can do the design in several ways. The goal is to put your nav & content pages in the design so that it shows them neatly next to each other. You could with tables, but that's being a noob. I'll write it here, though, since the alternative is CSS and is a little too advanced for me to explain here. [example design] <table style="width: 100%;"><tr> <td style="width: 20%;"><?php include "nav.html"; ?></td> <td><?php include "welcome.html"; ?></td> </tr></table> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unbeatable 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2004 Dont use frames, they just dont look good. Make the site more interesting by changing the colours and background. The layout is too plain now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
