Hi all

Just a couple of questions, firstly how do I get my pages to open a new page rather than changing the page they are in (ie if I am on my page and click on a link my website dissapears). please help

also is there any way to get the links to my other page down the left or right instead of at the top, I know you can do this is you use the gamer backgrounds but would like to use the other backgrounds, is this possible?

Cheers, scott

[RodB]

Hi Scott,

Use the target= attribute of the a href tag.

for example <a href="http://www.mysite.ws/somepage.ws" target="_blank">Some Page</a> will open a new page.

WRT your second question there are lots of ways to this. In its simplest form either a table or a div tag should sort this out

Dear GDI-ers!

Now I need immediate help as the support department is off for the whole weekend!

I had created the tittle page of my websites long ago and I wanted to add a banner - not from GDI, but mine one. I've done something with the HTML code in HTML editor in sitebuilder and all my page is gone except the so called banner (which doesn't work) remained. The trouble is that the button EDIT doesn't work and I cant reverse the things I've done.

HOW WOULD I BE ABLE TO REVERSE THE THINGS AND BE ABLE TO EDIT THE PAGE AGAIN!!!

PLEASE HELP ME AS I WOULD LIKE TO FINISH THIS TODAY!

Thank you very much!!!!

P.S I see that this was merged with HTML QUESTIONS but this is basically not related with HTML codes but it CONCERNS SITEBUILDER ITSELF. WE HAVE NO OPTION TO UNDO OUR WORK IF WE'RE NOT SATISFIED WITH IT OR IF SOMETHING WENT WRONG LIKE THIS WAS IN MY CASE and I've put it in SEPARATE TOPIC because I NEEDED IMMEDIATE HELP! Now it has no use anyway ... THANK YOU!

Hi to all Wise Clever Ones,
Urgent help is needed here.
My business, that I have just started takes input from my website.
Because GDI was reasonably priced and offered so much extra I thought I was doing the right thing by signing up here a few months ago. Website built, finally resolved after a few prob's, no worries.... I thought.
However my site has a form that needs to be filled in by anybody that makes a purchase. It is not your usual form whereby the submitter then qualifies for all sorts of crap from any direction available to an autoresponder, it is a form that I need the answers from in order to send them the product they have just bought, it cannot be sent to an autoresponder.
This form consists of name/address/email/phone and other, input boxes, (and there are seven of them that need completing),
also, radio buttons to indicate choices and finally a text box.
I need all this info delivered to me in order to do the work. However when the Submit button is actioned it simply opens up Outlook email creation and does not send me the form nor the results of the form.
I am now desperate. I have enquired at support and they inform me that Frontpage Extensions are not installed, so thats one method down the tubes.
Any suggestions to resolve this problem would make me eternally grateful, in fact so grateful that the problem solver that gets the form working I will GIVE them Option 2 from the Options page on my site.
I guess now you have to go there to find out what it's all about. Unfortunately you will not be able to access the form but you can at least see what you could get if you solve the problem so go to
www.familytreesandbranches.ws

Grateful thanks in anticipation,
Colin.

If you try <align=centre><A href="http..........whatever......></A>
it should be fettled.
Good Luck
Colin.

[RodB]

I suspect the problem is the &amp; in the above URL should be just plain &

So it should be <center><a href="http://website.ws/kvmlm2/_show.dhtml?speed=high&sponsor=USERID"><img alt="" src="http://images.gdi-invitation.ws/kvmlm2/images/cover_big.gif"></a></center>

You need a script and a cgi directory to do this.  Take a look at http://talk.ws/index.php?topic=3185.0

I am having trouble transfering banner ads to my website.  The code shows up, but not the actual banner when I try to copy and past the content.  Any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong?

[RodB]

Did you paste the code using the HTML tab in the builder.

[Matthew Green]

I want you to copy the below HTML into your HTML Editor.

Paste the HTML between the <body> </body> tags in your HTML Editor, you should see a Box with a link to my GDI Home Page.

(if you drag the mouse over the HTML BELOW until it is all selected, whilst selected press CTRL + C to copy, then Paste to a TEXT DOCUMENT using CTRL + V. This will remove TEXT FORMATTING. You now need to re-copy the HTML you just made in the TEXT FILE.).
 

Code:

<table width="840" border="3" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="20" class="none" height="1" bordercolorlight="#99CCFF" bordercolordark="#333399" bgcolor="#FFFFF7">
<tr valign="top"><td width="798" height="97" bordercolorlight="#99CCFF" bordercolordark="#333399">
<div align="center">
<p align="center"><font size="6"><font color="#cc0000">THIS SITE IS MEANT AS A</font>
&nbsp;</font></div>
<div align="center">
<p align="center"><font size="6">
<font color="#cc0000">DEMONSTRATION OF WHAT</font> &nbsp;</font></div>
<div align="center">
<p align="center"><font size="6"><u><b><blink><font color="#CC0000">YOU</font></blink></b></u> <font color="#cc0000" size="4"> CAN DO
WITH</font>&nbsp;</font></div>
<div align="center">
<p align="center"><font size="6"><a title="Get my own WEB DOMAIN + E-Biz NOW" href="http://www.website.ws/USERNAME/show" target="_self"><strong><u><b><font color="#0000FF" size="6">YOUR
OWN WEB DOMAIN</font></b></u></strong></a><strong>&nbsp;</strong></font><strong><font color="#ff0000" size="5">(username)
USERNAME</font></strong></div>
</table>

<a title="Get my own WEB DOMAIN + E-Biz NOW" href="http://www.website.ws/USERNAME/show" target="_self"><strong><u><b><font color="#0000FF" size="6">YOUR
OWN WEB DOMAIN</font></b></u></strong></a>

The HTML Hilighted in BLUE is for the BLUE HYPERLINK (YOUR OWN WEB DOMAIN ) in section a

<p align="center"><font size="6">  this is the default FONT SETTINGS FOR THE PARAGRAPH and is not essential, but
<p> + </p> = Paragraph START / FINISH
 
align="center" or "left" "right"  "etc etc"
 
<a> </a>  = Address START / FINISH
 
<a title="Get my own WEB DOMAIN + E-Biz NOW"  this section gives the URL a name and when hovering over the link with Mouse Pointer will be displayed for a short time (be aware that the title is only revealed when the Page is ONLINE, either PREVIEWED or UPLOADED).
href="http://www.website.ws/USERNAME/show"  this section is the actual URL (target location, page accessed when a person clicks on the link) and in the example is my GDI Cheque Link

target="_self" this section tells the browser how to open the link, be it a new Window, Frame, Same etc etc.  I believe a common Marketing mistake is to have clicks opening in a new window because the average browser prefers to be able to just go Back + Forward, not from Page to Page or Tab to Tab, but if the Page is meant for Traffic Exchanges or HTML Emails etc it is best to open in new window. YOU CHOOSE

_self  = same frame/window
_top  = Full Screen
_blank  = NEW WINDOW
 
the last section determines what the LINK LOOKS LIKE.
<strong><u><b><font color="#0000FF" size="6">YOUR OWN WEB DOMAIN</font></b></u></strong></a>
 
<strong> + </strong> = FONT STYLE
<u> + </u> = UNDERLINED TEXT
<b> + </b> = BOLD TEXT
There are others such as <i> + </i> for italics
 
color="#0000FF"   = FONT COLOUR (hyperlink blue)
 
size="6" = FONT SIZE
 
YOUR OWN WEB DOMAIN  =  ACTUAL TEXT. Here you can put whatever you want, including objects such as images or buttons, not just text
for a picture for example you would put <img> = </img>
 
example
<a title="" target="_self" href="http://www.website.ws/USERNAME/show"><img  alt="USERNAME - SITE INCOME PLAN" src=http://www.USERNAME.ws/USERNAMElogo.jpg”
 
notice the alt="this is what will appear before the image loads or if the viewer has images blocked"
 
src="this is the address where the image has been uploaded"
 
I have jumped from Subject to Subject I know and my instructions may not be too clear, but my intent is helping you. There is much more to learn, but that is only if you don't know already.

I welcome your contributions here folks.. Oh if this doesn’t make sense please let me know how I can improve it.

guys, if you use something similar to the above to train your own Downline you can Introduce them to a few new programmes by changing the HTML to whatevere you want but i thought it would be a bit cheeky to do it here.
