Re: Help needed with text links

Ah! That better. What might be an idea for you? The pages you want to come up in the i frame. Go to the property's & set the background to the color you want (56/142/142). Then place a colored shape on the top left corner of the page the same size as the i frame. You can then place your text on top of this shape to make sure you are not outside the frame window when typing. Then just before you publish, delete the shape.

Re: Help needed with text links

Hey megastar Chris. Thanks, have sorted that little issue out. I can now also see the next button inside the inline frame. But when I click on it, I just get the explorer error message. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

Re: Help needed with text links

hello again Chris

Next problem: ok, it helps if the link button has the link you want typed in, so now I don't get the error message. Instead, I get a repeat of my first page. If I click on the properties of the repeat page it tells me the address is http://www.villainthesunshine.com/bv01275.gif. The address on the "next" button link is www.villainthesunshine.com/fronttext2.html, and if I type this into a browser, I can see it. So, any thoughts on where I am going wrong?

Re: Help needed with text links

Hi, i can only assume that it has been published to another folder or a spelling mistake ? (fronttext3) you haven't put any upper case letters or something similar ?

Hi Chris
I did check before, but I'll check again

Re: Help needed with text links

Hmmmmm. Arrrhhhg.
No spelling mistakes, checked and couldnt see anything. I created a new "next" button just in case, and now I have a new bug. Sometimes, when I type in the url for index2, I can see fronttext2 in the inline frame, and sometimes fronttext1. Sometimes I get fronttext2's text but fronttext1's "next" button. Thought it might be a browser cache issue, but I've just typed the index2 url into a new machine, and I can see fronttext2 instead of fronttext1, and with the "next" button from fronttext1. Help!!!

Re: Help needed with text links

PS, if you type in www.villainthesunshine.com/fronttext1.html and www.villainthesunshine.com/fronttext2.html they are definitely there...

Re: Help needed with text links

...except that they are not. Went to check the links above and found that the text has changed. It appears that when I publish one page, it overwrites the text on the other. Which explains the text and the buttons swapping about. Any ideas what to do next?

Re: Help needed with text links

Might be worth having a look in your cpanel & checking all the pages are there & coping the url from this area.

Re: Help needed with text links

Have cracked it. Yeay!!! It was to do with the fact that I'd cloned and then renamed pages. The links were just confused. It's only half way done so far, but take a look, it's working

Re: Help needed with text links

Ah! Got there in the end. lol. Be careful on the text wit IE & FF. the text on this page http://www.villainthesunshine.com/text6.html is out the window with FF.

Good luck.

Re: Help needed with text links

Thanks Chris. Sorted the stray text out now hopefully. A question for you: if I put some relevant text underneath the picture box, will this help on the SE front?

Re: Help needed with text links

Yes this is a big help with the SE's if you name your image well & give it a good alt tag.IE: you have this image http://www.villainthesunshine.com/livingarea2.jpg instead, maybe call it
http://www.villainthesunshine.com/florida-villa.jpg & in the tag line Florida villa for rent.
Think what you would enter as a search to find your site.
