Or, the free program Filezilla can upload parts or the entire website. Filezilla works well with the "freepages" and "rootsweb" accounts on rootsweb.ancestry servers.

Mike, A good way to upload multiple files, without zipping them, is to use ftp from the command line. This should work in most OS's (Windows, Mac, Linux) First, open your command line. In windows, I believe you can launch it by going to start -> run, then typing in cmd and pressing enter. Mac is Terminal.app. Linux varies but should be some form of Terminal/Konsole in the menu. In the command line, change to the directory containing all the files to upload. The easiest thing to do would be to have all those files in the folder be those that you want to upload and none you do not. To change to the directory, type: >cd path/to/directory/ To start the ftp, type: >ftp -i users.freepages.rootsweb.com You'll then enter your freepages username and password at the prompts. You are now in the top level of your website. You can continue to change directories with the cd command until you're in the spot you want to upload your files. If you need to see a list of files, type: Windows: >dir Mac/Linux: >ls When you're ready to upload, use the mput command. * is a wildcard >mput * or >mput *.html >mput update_* ...whatever your files are named. It will upload all files matching that wildcard, so you don't have to do it by hand. The mput command allows you to use wildcards and therefore upload multiple files at once. Single files can use the put command, such as >put index.html ~Amanda > On Monday, October 31, 2011 1:08 PM > Mike wrote: > >> Is it possible for me to copy a zipped file from my computer to my >> genealogy folder on Free Pages and then unzip it there? > > ============= > Mike

Thank you Mike You can download a ZIP file from Free Pages, then unzip it on your computer. But you cannot unzip that file when it's still on Free Pages and have the results stay on Free Pages.

Is it possible for me to copy a zipped file from my computer to my genealogy folder on Free Pages and then unzip it there? Thank you Mike

Quite honestly, if it was me, I would look for ways to pare down the information on the table. Decide what's REALLY important and what can be shortened/done away with. I did a page with a similar idea: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~okgarftp/cemetery/index.html Use one column to list other source sites instead of three (4?) for instance. [ Is it really necessary to give the number of graves listed on each site - that number will change ] I used a small globe symbol to indicate if a site had a map.

Thanks, Billie, I really like your cemetery table (BTW, there is an extra "m" in the page title), and you have a good point. Basically, I took an excel table that a colleague sent me and added the formatting, so I would have to ask her before making any layout changes.

Ralph, thank you! After studying my CSS book and fooling around with the table properties, I was able to get the z-index the overlay the table on top of the page border, when the screen size is too small to display the entire table. Naturally, this caused another problem in IE, not as serious, but . . . Above the table the page border expands to the same size as the table -- it wouldn't be so bad, but it leaves the menu sort of hanging there without a righthand border. If this can't be fixed, I can live with it, but if anyone has suggestions, I would really appreciate them.

Removing the offending Find a Grave script gets rid of the problem, which is related to the script inserting another HTML page to provide the form. On your page you have inserted a whole sequence <p> spacers, which appear to be where the Find a Grave form has been inserted. As there is no need for the form to be inserted by javascript as a separate HTMl page, my suggestion is you remove all those <p> tags after the last line of <p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; " class="Body"> ===== </p> and replace with:- <div style="position:relative"> <!--Form goes in here--> </div> Beneath the </div> above, you should leave the next 3 </divs> and remove all the code down to - <div style="height: 134px; width: 158px; height: 134px; left: 483px; position: absolute; top: 17px; width: 158px; z-index: 1; " class="tinyText stroke_1 shadow_1"> I've attached by separate email a .txt file with the Form code and a copy of the code that needs removing below where it goes. As you have been using absolute positioning, the location of items as they appear on your page often bears no relation to where the code is, which makes it rather difficult to detect where errors may be.

Re: 'Yes, I know what creates the border, I was just hoping someone would know of a way to tell it to be behind the table..' If I recall correctly, CSS has a "z-index" feature to govern what appears on top of what. I'm definitely not an expert on it; time for someone else to jump in. -rt_/)

I have an introduction page on the RootsWeb Free Pages. The "hosted by rootsweb" banner appears at the top of the page where it belongs, but it also appears within the body of my page. Does anyone know how this can be corrected? I have incorporated the Find A Grave widget which may be causing the problem. The URL for this page is http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bobfarmergenealogy/Introduction/Bob_Farmers_Genealogy.html Thank you, G. Robert "Bob" Farmer, Sr. bobfarmer@mac.com

Thanks, Pat. Yes, I know what creates the border, I was just hoping someone would know of a way to tell it to be behind the table, that's how it displays in IE. Unfortunately I can't remove the border without removing it from all the pages. I've come up with a different solution, which results in losing the top border of the footer section instead. Part of the "problem" is that the "page container" is begun in one include and ended in another, which, of course, is supposed to make things easier.
