Re: Website search function
 
I think you'll find the link to the home page on the subsequent pages is changing colour because its now become a 'visited' link

To control the colours of your hyperlinks you will need to use a stylesheet to force your requirments on the <A tags

something like this
<style>
A:link {color: Blue; Text-decoration: underline; }
A:visited {color: Blue; Text-decoration: underline; }
A:active {color: Red; Text-decoration: underline; }
A:hover {color: Red; Text-decoration: underline; }
</style>

yeah, you have colours for link, visited link and active link, you could change the colours to suit, but I personally think it is good to have these colours seperate because it lets people know where they have been before/at

EDIT: I look forward to your link

You could use the following CSS code (put it in the <head>) but IE does not support it due to poor CSS support, virtually all new browsers do though:
Code:

<style type="text/css">
html>body {
    width: 800px;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    }
</style>

or use html and put a center tag at the start of the body:
<body>
<center>

your other tags and info

</center>
</body>

The <center> tag is deprecated, you should use <div align=center>content here</div>

Well,
i know its taken a while but i'm there...finished.....took bl**dy ages but there you go, when you are doing it for free for a few hours per day thats how long it takes (well me anyway). Now i'm ready to go.
I'm waiting for the password from my boss to our webspace host so i can actually post it up.
Now what.?! How do i make us appear in search engine 'searches'.?

When its up i'll post the link so you can look if you want. PLEASE don't take the p**s too much. Its my first EVER website design in the world EVER!

Thanks to everyone who helped me along the way....much appreciated.

The first place to submit it to is www.dmoz.org then by having a link on here will help it get picked up by search engines. basically the more places that link to it the better.

It can and probably willtake a couple of months before it turns up in the search engines.

Re: Website search function
 
Right!!! I really am finished now.....Both of my directors have agreed that it is good enough to put up. There are a few things i don't like that they do (i'm right of course!), but nevermind.

Anyway..I'm with Easily.co.uk. I've published my site to a webfolder( due to easily not supporting FTP) and i'm going to upload the files (one at a time it seems is the only way with easily!).

I've NEVER done this before (the website or the uploading)...does any one have any tips(for the uploading only.......i'm going to start doing it at 9ish tomorrow morning!
Thanks all.

Re: Website search function
 
yes get filezilla and use that to upload your files.

as long as your web site links ok offline, it should link ok online.

if any files are in a folder put that folder online.

as long as you ahve the username and password for the webspace, all you have to do in an ftp program is drag and drop files from one side (your computer) to the other side (the internet space)

Re: Website search function
 
Right guys its up,but i have a little problem... Along the bottom i had a small scrolling message. It was associated with a proscroll.class code or something. I've uploaded all of the required files but i just get a grey bar along the bottom....Can anyone tell me why it happened and how to fix it...

printerman,

I had a look, and I hope that there is no april fool on my part, cause everytime I access your site, my browser crashes, no other site does this.

it takes over all tabs, and stops them responding.

but I did see a small part of your site, I noticed that you have a very bad thing on your site, called a MARQUEE they are not liked very much.

and I have noticed this with Firefox: pics covering links, I have attached an image.

Re: Website search function
