href to frameset.htm

I used Adobe Photofinish to create a Web Photo Gallery. It creates a folder
with thumbnail images, large images and a couple of htm files:
index.htm and frameset.htm

I setup a href from my main page pointing to frameset.htm and it works great
on my local computer.

When I upload, and click the href button I get an error "the page cannot be
displayed"

I changed the href to point to the index.htm and that works on both the
local and uploaded versions. Both htm files are in the same folder. Is there
a problem with pointing an href to a frameset.htm on the web?

Thanks
Bill

No. Your code is more than likely faulty. Post the URL.

You have backslashes (\) in your links instead of forward slashes (/).
Correct those and the links will work.

S'ok, we all started somewhere.

http://www.intergate.com/~wjb1/crystalpalice.html

Most all of your links have the slashes going the wrong way, should be
forward slashes: /
<a href="images\gallerycenterpiece001\FrameSet.htm">

Although the links seem to work in IE, this is only because IE is not
obeying standards.

The red text on purple background is unreadable.

I'm curious. Is the spelling of crystalpalice intentional? Rather than
palace?

Thanks for the pointers.
I'm just playing around with colors etc.

And crystalpalice is the ebay name. - palace was already taken.

Ok, understood. However, can't you still use the correct spelling on your
new pages? crystalpalace.html ? Thinking that you will have to spell it
to friends, who will probably forget it was misspelled <g>.

I used Adobe Photofinish to create a Web Photo Gallery. It creates a
folder with thumbnail images, large images and a couple of htm files:
index.htm and frameset.htm

The problem with using an *automated* system to create thumbnails rather
than doing them individually by hand, is that the file sizes of the
thumbnails are far too big for efficient downloading, especially for dial-up
users.

Some of those thumbnails are 18-19K when they should be around 2K or less.
Also your full size images around 60-70K could easily be 35K or less.

Thanks for the help so far, I got the file size down on those pics. The
pics apparently had the metadata from my digital camera still embedded in
the file. Also the program I am using to generate the frameset is Adobe
Photoshop.

I have a question about exiting out of my frameset back to the previous
(crystalpalice.html) page. When in the frameset you can click the thumbnails
and view the corresponding large pic. After viewing several large pics, you
must hit the back button several times to return to the previous (non
framed) page.

I want to put a button on the framed page that will take me to the
crystalpalice.html page. When I create an href link , it only takes the
current frame back to the previous page. How can I make a button to exit the
frames and return to:

Make a link with the attribute target="_top"

<a href=" http://www.intergate.com/~wjb1/crystalpalice.html"
target="_top">Back</a>
Or, for a relative path (pretty sure I got the right number of '../' in
there, each one bring you up a level):
<a href=" ../../crystalpalice.html" target="_top">Back</a>

About the gallery itself, if you want to make your own without PS, it's not
that hard. You can use PS to make the thumbnails or another program, I
prefer Easy Thumbnails
(http://download.com.com/3000-2192-10...l?tag=lst-0-1). Then, just
set up a template with one thumbnail (or a row if you will have more than
one per row), and copy and paste it for however many you need. For some
examples, I have a few on my site
(http://diablo.saber-online.com/misc/gold.html is one). The size of the
files might be a little larger than suggested on my site, but the target
audience won't have any problem with it.
I prefer tables to frames too. You can have a side table for navigation on
the pages and a center table for the meat of the page. Or an iframe to the
side, so that way when you edit the navigation area, you don't have to edit
every page. Just that way the visitor can see the actual address and can
bookmark it if they want. Your site is small enough so that bookmarking the
main page isn't a hassle, but if you were to make a large site, you might
want to consider that.

I think that's enough advice you didn't ask for. If you have any more
questions, feel free to ask.
