    1. Re: [FreeHelp] FREEPAGES-HELP Dropdown/Pulldown Nav Menus
    2. Ralph Taylor
    3. I'm looking for a simple, non-javascript solution to horizontal navigation menus at the tops of pages. The idea is to list major categories and have the subsidiary links appear when the viewer either hovers over or clicks on the item. Since about 90% of viewers are using some version of IE, it should work in that browser, as well as browsers that are more W3C-compliant. Examples I've looked at use CSS, but are vertical (good for a side menu) and don't render well in IE 8. Any suggestions? -rt_/)

    1. Re: [FreeHelp] FREEPAGES-HELP Last modified date's language

    3. David wrote: ".. the month of the last modified date is in French. <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%d %B %Y" -->" Barry's suspicion seems right that the form of your last modified date stamp is a FrontPage form, requiring the server to support FrontPage extensions. Features proprietary to FrontPage can easily go wrong. Somehow, it seems, the Freepages server is interpreting the language of this element as French. (The month*, BTW, is the only part of the date that would be language-sensitive; day & year are numerals.) Therefore, you might want to go with Lorrie's suggestion of replacing this with her more standard form: <!--#config timefmt="%B %d, %Y" --> <!-- formats date/time --> <!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED" --> <!-- displays date --> The above Perl programming language form will either work as you expect or fail completely. If it fails, you'll see an error message, "[An error occurred while processing this directive]". Also, you should look at the doctype declaration; it is (or should be) the first line or two in the page file, above the head section, and look something like "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">". The last two letters in the first line are the language code. To make it USA-specific, change to "EN-US". Further, you can put a language specification into your HTML statement (just below doctype), as in <HTML lang="EN"> If you should want to change language for a particular element, say, a paragraph: <p lang="fr"> -rt_/)

Does it need to have www preceding it? Would someone have >code using Google that I could borrow? :) ================ Hi Blair, Folks have already mentioned that you should name your home page index.html or index.htm. Either works but you should be consistent in the file extension you choose. I would also suggest using all lowercase letters especially if you are going to use the RootsWeb file manager to upload your files. You are also missing parts of your page which you apparently have removed. Look at the source code for your page and check it versus what is in the original template http://www.genealogy-web-creations.com/css-layouts/mabry-mill/mabry-mill.html Your doctype is not longer there as well as the opening and closing html tag. See this article for more help http://www.genealogy-web-creations.com/html-document-structure.html on the basic structure of an html document. While the origianl template uses the xhtml doctype, you can easily change it to html transitional BUT you will need to add this to the top of your page <....!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <.....html> just before the opening head tag and this to the end of your page <..../body> <....html> Remove the extra dots at the beginning.

    2. lrlaskey
    3. David, I have no explanation for the French version of the modification date but I will guess that the server your site is on may be configured incorrectly. Since Rootsweb uses the Apache Server Program, you can take advantage of it by using the following Apache server code to display the last date a page was modified. Revised: <!--#config timefmt="%B %d, %Y" --><!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED" --> I don't know whether you are using "includes" files or not, could not tell from your sites, but a more efficient use of this code would be to place it into a "footer" include file. <!--#include virtual="footer.txt" --> See my site, or others on this list, for more info. http://www.serversideincludes.net/uses/date_mod.shtml Lorrie On 03/27/11 08:23, David Nijsens wrote: > Hello, > > My operating system (Win XP) isn't French speaking. > Nowhere as far as I can see, do I indicate the page is in French. > Yet, at the bottom, just above the Ancestry banner, the month of the last modified date is in French. > > <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%d %B %Y" > --> > > Yes, I know I could copy from somewhere a (lenghty) script that winkles the month out of the last modified date and replaces it with the word in English or even... in the same language as the page.

    1. [FreeHelp] CSS Commented Template Tip : Avoid copy / Paste of text into WYSIWYG Editor
    2. J.A. Florian
    3. I have a commented template to use with External CSS. The template had been previously validated at ws3. I copied and pasted some text into a "new page" from the template. (I had used save as> then named the new file, then copied in some text from another page already made.) When I validated my new page, w3 reported 10 errors! So I compared the "validated template" with my newly-named page with errors. I discovered that the copying onto the Normal View in a WYSIWUG Editor (Frontpage2000) had stripped out some of the comments and code that makes the CSS work. I copied the comments and CSS-based code back into the right spots and the new page validated. So be careful copying and pasting to the Normal View in WYSIWYG Editors. If something "breaks", compare the validated template code against the new page's code. Judy

    3. Hi Judy, I learnt CSS by using one of Pat's templates available on her websites, and playing with the colours and widths and sizes of H1 etc., Practice does make perfect they say, and so I am still practising, but learning each and every time. I must say that about a year ago I was delighted when I worked out how to do something in css that I wished to appear on a webpage and tinkering until it was just so. I also am an advocate of reading other people's css if I see something that looks good on their webpages. The penny does eventually drop. ;-)) Best wishes, Jill http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~glamorgan/
