a few problems.. uploading webpage / contact sheet / links

a few problems.. uploading webpage / contact sheet / links

Postby n1kk1 on Fri Jan 30, 2009 8:50 am

Hello, I've uploaded my new website and everything looks fine on my work pc but when I view it on my laptop everything is misaligned - the menu and images have jumped off the page. I am new to this so I am hoping it is something straightforward like maybe some anchoring script..

Also, I am trying to create a contact page, I did find an example online and have tried incorporating it into mine but it does not work, if anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate them!

Finally, my links to PDF's are not working, they worked fine when this was a text file so I am presuming it is to do with where the pdfs are now saved, I uploaded them via FTP to the web and they are sitting in the same place as the html pages - is this correct?

If you have taken the time to read all this I am hoping you will be able to help! I have only just started learning this as of Monday and the web has taught me most of it but I definitely need some insider knowledge too.

Thanks

I've fixed my contact page - if someone could please offer me any advice on the alignment problem.. I don't know if maybe I'm asking ridiculous quesitons but I have posted this on 5 forums and nobody is helping me!

Part of your alignment issues is coming from the absolute positioning of things like your links to the bottom of the page. This is likely allowing them to disappear through the top of the page when the window is resized.
You should also be using DIV layers for layout. Your text on the page is only positioned where it is because your table is in the way. You should give everything on the page a div to live inside of and not just type directly into the <body> tags.

Define min-width: in your for whatever DIV will control the placement of your content. This should stop it from resizing to nothing as the window is resized. (if you plan on keeping the website scalable.
