From: Peace Freak on 3 Jan 2008 19:48 OK, I have put it up unzipped! http://www.cambodiakids.org/Template02.dwt.asp And thanks for the tip about file/pathnames and not using anything but letters, numbers, and hyphens/underscores. I am going to have to change the name of my hard disk again! I would rather be on the safe side!

You're talking about this image, right? http://www.cambodiakids.org/Images/BackgroundImages/Girl_softsmile_bg.jpg How are you creating pages from that template? The correct method is to click File > New, then click the Templates tab at the top of the dialog, choose your site (if necessary) from the list, choose the template (if you have more than one), and click Create. One common mistake made by people new to templates is to open the template and do a save as. That won't work. > And thanks for the tip about file/pathnames and not using anything but >letters, numbers, and hyphens/underscores. I am going to have to change the >name of my hard disk again! I would rather be on the safe side! Probably a good idea. A couple of other things I noticed: You're created a template for ASP pages. Your server is Unix/Linux and does not appear to support ASP. You appear to be using characters not in the Unicode character set that you have specified: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> Gary
From: Peace Freak on 4 Jan 2008 03:29 I am really glad I asked your assistance for this... These things I guess are really quite important. Unfortunately, I don't have a good grounding in web development... Yes, the image you mentioned is the correct one. It shows up fine in the template but not when I make a page using the method you recommend. When I save the page, all the other links change to the appropriate path, but that one ends up as : background-image: url(file:///D200/Users/andrews/Documents/DreamweaverWebsites/Cambodia Kids/Images/BackgroundImages/Girl_softsmile_bg.jpg); } As for the ASP thing, I really don't know how I managed to get that to happen! Every time I make a new page, I get that suffix at the end and have to change it to .html. I checked in the preferences and could not see anything appropriate to adjust. Could you suggest what I might do? Also, I have already made a couple of pages from ASP templates, that I have changed the suffix to .html, should I scrap those pages and redo them from the beginning(once I get this ASP thing worked out, that is)? As for the UTF-8, I was/am under the impression that it can be used for Japanese... Till now I have not seen or had problems/complaints regarding the text within the site or some of the other Japanese sites I have made... Again, I would appreciate any recommendations... Thank you!
From: Peace Freak on 4 Jan 2008 04:59 I have worked out the ASP thing... That happened because when I chose the template instead of choosing HTML template I chose ASP Javascript template. I checked the differences between the two formats and have eliminated the <%@LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" CODEPAGE="65001"%> code from the top of the page and change the template suffix to .html. I trust this is all that I need to do to set this ASP thing right.

I just tested things out and it appears that fixing the ASP template has now fixed the background image problem! So my only outstanding question is about UTF-8 and Japanese, which I will repeat here for your convenience... As for the UTF-8, I was/am under the impression that it can be used for Japanese... Till now I have not seen or had problems/complaints regarding the text within the site or some of the other Japanese sites I have made... Again, I would appreciate any recommendations... Thank you so much! |
