Sheila, As you will already know, WebPlus 4 is a upmarket webpage WYSIWYG editor. Developed by SERIF, a well known purveyor of Graphics software, they have incorporated a large variety of that software into their webpage products. My examination of the User Manual (320 pages) shows that they have provided extensive tutorials, but I often wonder if the time spent getting your head around every subject in the manual could be better spent getting to grips with the basics of HTML coding. In the WebPlus 4 product, I note that extensive use is made of dragging objects into the desired position on a page, which ultimately requires the software to produce a large amount of HTML / CSS positioning code. This leads to what is commonly called "code bloat". I have also found that Javascript and the jQuery library version of it are used heavily. There are a number of features available in the package that wouldn't be permitted on FreePages, such as e.commerce scripts and video player implementations. Additional HTML code can be inserted in certain areas of each page, but the software produced code is not editable, i.e. doing so will lead to internal errors. Overall, the extensive use of graphics interfaces provides the ability to produce good looking webpages, though at the expense of "code bloat". On a positive note, I could find no evidence of server-side scripting, e.g. PHP etc..

If you have Firebug addon for Firefox you can open the background image in a new tab and then save. Firebug is kind of like "View Source" on steroids. It opens an area below the page with the source in it. It has all sorts of neat features to help debug a webpage.

I'm not familiar with Web Plus (any version) but I can say this: The key is what kind of web pages it produces. If it produces standard HTML or standard HTML with CSS, it should work with Freepages. But, if it relies on "dynamic content" (essentially a database approach) it won't work. Such an approach tends to rely on server-side scripts, not allowed on Freepages. You can probably tell by inspecting the page files with a plain-text editor, like Notepad. Look for calls to external scripts with filename extensions like .aspx or .php. -rt_/) Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2015 16:18:14 +0200 (CEST) From: Sheila Priest <[email protected]> Subject: [FreeHelp] Web Plus v4 To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 I've used freepages previously for hosting a couple of websites but they were both created several years ago using Front Page.?

There are many facets of image manipulation that are now possible using HTML / CSS attributes that once were confined to specialist software. Recently I have had occasion to use the CSS "transform" property to match known shapes up with airborne images of missing aircraft parts floating in the sea. Yes, this gets quite sophisticated, as a plan 2d view has to be rotated and matched in 3d planes, including using the "perspective" property to see if a match is possible. Another source of image manipulation is that based by the current CSS "filter" selector, in which a multiple number of filters can be used in a CSS declaration to observe information contained within an image that otherwise would remain unseen. Available in the "filter" selector are the following functions:- filter: url() blur() brightness() contrast() drop-shadow() grayscale() hue-rotate() invert() opacity() saturate() sepia(); ... and they can be declared in a multiple statement - as above and as indicated by the "()" brackets as functions. I suggest you refer to:- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/filter ... where you will find details on how to declare those functions and the units they work with. In the meantime, I've created a test page which allows the dynamic implementation of six of those functions commonly used, so that a quick summation of how they work can be made by with input[range] slider selections:- http://countjustonce.com/test/css-rules.html This page will only render correctly when using an up to date version of the Firefox browser, and probably will in the other major browsers provided I spend some time adding vendor prefixes to a number of styles. Feel free to download the file and test it locally yourself. Any repeating image can be used, provided you change the existing "url('images/blue-grid.jpg)" in the #content:before CSS selector with a link to your image . You will be amazed with the combination of filters and their combined effects to the background image. To reset to the basic format, use Ctrl+F5 and you will note the input sliders will move to their preset positions. Barry

Thanks to all who emailed and posted ways to help. I am still working on it and may have more questions, but you guys gave me a great start. Thanks again, Jenny Volker

Jenny, I think that if you are using javascript to scramble the email address, you may as well use the script to update the copyright year. That being the case, the easiest way is to make the script the sole content between the <p></p> tags. <script language="javascript"> var d=new Date(),n=d.getFullYear(),targetEtag='Jennifer Volker',targetEname='jlvolker2', targetEserver='cox.net',targetE='@',targetE=(targetEname+targetE+targetEserver); document.write('Copyright &copy; 2006-'+n+', Margaret Warner Wood Tent, DUVCW'+'<br>' +'<a href="http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~azmwwduv">http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~azmwwduv</a>'+'<br>' +'Website Created and Maintained by <a href='+'mail'+'to:'+targetE+'>'+targetEtag+'</a>'); </script> Barry ------------------ On 26/09/2015 12:04, Jenny Volker via wrote: > First off, I started messing with a working footer and not making a > copy > first.

This page is generated by the Legacy genealogy program creating a website. The text in the research notes for the individual is this – formatting as shown: Military and other life History Click «a HREF=http://www.tunnellers.net/pages/pf__pag.html target=_blank»here«/a» and scroll down the list to his name. There is also some more information on his brother, Mark. 104 But the output is this: \ulMilitary and other life History \ulnoneClick here\b0 and scroll down the list to his name. There is also some more information on his brother, Mark. 104 (The 104 is a source footnote reference – but I can’t see how it got there!) Any help in straightening it out greatly appreciated.

Jenny, Would this help? https://web.archive.org/web/20150906140551/http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~azmwwduv/

Hi Lonnie, I think your index page would benefit by a little more presentation - firstly by making the index more central, as having it all on the left gives the page an unbalanced look. Also the text size needs to be larger, especially for older people, such as myself, who have to peer to see the letters. Another improvement would be to reduce the number of images to maybe no more than 6 to a page, as I spent quite a lot of time trying to find the entry that corresponded to the number. Look at my web page to see how I've done a similar thing to yours. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~boltongenealogy/marriage_licences1/marriage_licenses1.html Valerie On 24 September 2015 at 23:59, Lonnie Fink via <[email protected]> wrote: > Billie, > > I already fixed the program, the old way, but I'll do the other programs > your way! > Reduces code, which I do like! > > Thanks! > > Lonnie fink > [email protected] > > > On Sep 24, 2015, at 5:51 PM, [email protected] wrote: > > > > Message: 3 > > Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2015 14:39:24 -0500 > > From: Billie Walsh <[email protected]> > > Subject: Re: [FreeHelp] Newby needs help getting href links to work on > > freepages > > To: [email protected] > > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed > > > > My first suggestion is to put all your images into a directory separate > > from the HTML pages.
