shtml

[Brian]

I am not sure how this was done, but am hoping someone could send me in
the right direction. I am assuming is was done with the shtml? I would
like to be able to do the loading of new images the way they did this:

[url]http://www.prefuse73.com/photos.shtml[/url]

I want to be able to do it also where I am not reloading the page each
time I am laoding a new image.

Thank you for any help or hint for me to go in the right direction.

It's done with an IFrame -

<br><iframe src="blank.html" class="rule" name="photos" width="730"
height="411" frameborder=0 marginheight=0 scrolling=no
marginwidth=0></iframe>

Each link is targeted to the "photos" iframe.

Thanks a lot.

What are some of the cons to Iframes? Dosen't the browser have to pretty
recent?

Thanks

Any v4+ browser except NN4x will support IFrames.

Other potential issues, however, are listed here -

You could also do it (or something very similar) perfectly easily by using
the JavaScript to alter the src property of the img element.

Hello,

I set up a client with Contribute several months ago, and all has gone well.
This week, they changed the files on their site from .html to .shtml, and now
they cannot use Contribute to access the site. They get a "You can't edit this
page because it wasn't found on the website or it is a directory listing"
warning. The address in the address bar is the old
[url]www.domainname.org/index.html[/url], and this obviously will not get them where they
need to go.

As administrator, I am able to change the address in the address bar and
navigate/edit just fine, but "Publishers" report they cannot.

In Administer Websites>Web Server>Index Files, index.shtml is on the list. The
primary address is [url]www.domainname.org[/url], not the [url]www.domainname.org/index.html[/url]
that appears in the address bar of the "browser".

So -- how can I prevent the address bar from autofilling the wrong address?
I'd be happy if it autofilled the primary address ([url]www.domainname.org[/url]) that
I've indicated in Administer Websites, or if it autofilled with the new .shtml
file name. BTW, I've tried specifiying the .shtml as part of the "primary
address" but this does not work either.

I've removed the Contribute file from the _mm folder and tried all of the
above as well.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Is Contribute is going to be able to handle
this switch to .shtml? What can I do to get my clients up and running again?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

also,
how does one change the primary address?

Jane and Hanley,

This is generally defined on the server and not controled by a setting in
Contribute.

Check with your service provider and ask that the file of choice is configured
to be the default file.

A second option that you could do is setup a simple file that does a redirect
in Dreamweaver.

So for example, if the index.htm is the default file that is coming up in
Contribute.

1) Create a new index.htm file in Dreamweaver.
2) In the lower left corner select <body>
3) Next in the behavior panel click the + and select Go To URL
4) Specify index.shtml as the url, the behavior panel will show onload : go to
URL
5) Save and upload the file.

Once you upload this page, Contribute will be redirected to the index.shtml
page seamlessly.
