I'd prefer it if you didn't send me the files. I was in hospital for a couple of weeks recently and my email accounts have hundreds of unread and unanswered emails. It's going to take a while to catch up.
What you are looking for is the TABLE tag in your files. It's these that need changing. The easiest way to get this sorted is to create some simple pages on your computer. In each add a table and change them to read <table border="1" width="400" STYLE="position:absolute; left:100px; top:100px"> Then try something like <table border="1" width="300" STYLE="position:absolute; left:200px; top:0px"> You'll see the tables will have moved and been resized when you reopen the files. I didn't make myself very clear with the file naming thing. I meant to put "(" and ")". It's the parenthesis that may cause problems in LB (FrameTop).htm The thing about web pages is to keep the file sizes small. I use DSL which can be very fast. The local college has T1 connections which are fantastic - but I couldn't afford the $1,000 a month to have it installed at home. Lots (most?)people use 56kb connections and it takes an age to download big files. The main page and images can be finished by the time the Flash and song are downloaded. Putting videos on a page can be a bit of a problem. If they are short, you can use the EMBED tag to do it. See http://brisray.com/web/wmmedia.htm#Video There is more information at http://www.htmlgoodies.com/tutors/videoembed.html and http://www.abdn.ac.uk/diss/webpack/factsheet24.shtml#section24.4 If the files are larger, you may just want to offer them for download. What I did was to create links to the files. Because video files tend to be large it may be best to create them at different sizes. The smaller the file the worse the qulaity, but they are quicker to download. See http://brisray.com/misc/mkclass2.htm for what I mean. Ray |
