Hello all, been a long time since i last posted here at the 'Mech. But its the only place I turn to.

I'm in the process of starting a website for my Referee Association. I have the layout taken care of and mostly coded out, but. I need to know how to make the page so i can input alot of code on one page and the page just continue's down.

But I'm limited to what I can put on the page.

Website Link

Oh and another thing, is there such a thing as a free host with ftp server with no banners? Or should I go for something for around 3-5$ /month for something?

Thanks in advance

By repeater page I am assuming that you are meaning a page containing the menu, page header, etc. You could do it with frames, a bad idea or with php includes, a good idea.

Definitely spend the money and get a host. You have much more flexibility of what you can do with a paid host. Look at the sticky at the top of this forum for host ideas.

Okay, by that do you mean a whole slice from left to right containing the blank layout of the page?

Thanks

If you used PHP then it would simply be a matter of slicing up your page based on roughly what would be 3 files:
common header elements + page content + common footer elements
From your page:
save the following code:

PHP Code:


			
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>

.

.

& everything in between

.

.

      <td background="images/Untitled-2_08.jpg" width="411" height="380" class="box_title">

and save it into a file called header.inc
then save the following code:

PHP Code:


			
</td>

    <td><img src="images/Untitled-2_09.jpg" width="164" height="380" ALT=""></td>

.

.

& everything inbetween

.

.

</html>

as footer.inc
(remember to update your links to address links such as .php files rather than .html files (eg. Links would be "links.php")
Now to create your pages you would do the following:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

include("header.inc");

?>

*** YOUR CONTENT GOES HERE ****

<?php

include("footer.inc");

?>

And save it as a php file.

I'll give it shot tomorrow, and let you guys know how it goes.

I was also thinking of maybe using the middle tabel there, and somehow maybe scrolling inside that table.

Is there a way fo doing that? Cause I kinda like the size of that layout as is.

Thanks mairving and Statica

I couldn't get it to work, but after much research and time I found how to add a scroll bar.

I'm conna tweak the colors later to find out the best combo.

What do you guys think?

You will probably have to save your html file as a php one .html vs. .php to get it to work.

cdnref · 10-28-2006, 09:46 PM

Ya I did, but I'm satisfied with the scroll bar

bte what is the advantage to changing my links to a php file?

Not sure what the scroll bar had to do with it. You can include it as well.

There are a couple of reasons to save as a php file. One is so that you will know that it contains php code and not just html. The other is that some hosts don't process php in an htm(l) file. That was the main reason for me asking you to save as php since I didn't know if your free host allowed it.

cdnref · 10-30-2006, 09:39 AM

Well I made my menu an include and changed the links to php, the site does support it.

Made me save I Don't know how many hours having to go and change each page for a menu link once completed.

As for the scroll bar, it made it so everything fit onto the center table. Befor the whole page whould get messed up and tried to repeat the same table. Made it look like crap... link provided.
