ive got a tagbox which i wanna put on my site but i want it in a frame so its always there no matter what link is pressed. how would i do it using dreamweaver?

RE: Frames by RaceProUK on 03-23-2006 at 12:10 AM

I would really recommend against frames: they only complicate matters when it comes to bookmarking pages. If you've got a PHP-enabled host, use PHP to include the tagbox in each page ;)

RE: Frames by Reaper on 03-23-2006 at 11:16 AM

the code for the tagbox is done with html and no php script is given. so , whitout frames, how could i do it?

[Edit] nevermind, i just put the tagbox on everypage manually

RE: Frames by RaceProUK on 03-23-2006 at 02:01 PM

So every update will have to be applied to all pages manually. Bad idea.
To use PHP to include it, in each page, use

code:
<?php
    include('tagbox.htm');
?>
and put the tagbox code in tagbox.htm ;)

Yea or if you have a lot of files you could try using a .htaccess file with:

code:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
RE: Frames by Reaper on 03-23-2006 at 04:22 PM

yup, that works fine. only one problem though, the tagbox is under my menu blob. how can i make it so its always on the right hand side?

um, source view? :P
lol, the views i have are code, split and design. i cant move it in design as it doesnt show up, obviously, and in code theres no way for me to put in on the right hand side, as thats the place i want it
RE: Frames by RaceProUK on 03-23-2006 at 05:19 PM

Code View then :P
And there is: you just have to be creative with your <div>s ;)

Look, I'm not going to write your site for you. You'll have to do some of the work yourself. The last thing I'll tell you is to look at the positioning attributes.

RE: Frames by RaceProUK on 03-24-2006 at 11:17 PM

I didn't mean to sound rude, I just wanted you to try things out, experiment. It's the best way to learn ;)
