(thus you'll just need a blank banner with no text) and use a (personal thought) more of a DHTML w/ JavaScript Menu (NO flash or any fancy programe required). Basicly it would be like the one on the main page of the Cal Poly Pomona site and for your design (To make this easier to change the style in the future) use CSS. This way you can link into your scripit, the design you want to use. Insteed of having to use .php or CGI to change scripts. (CSS helps with quick and fast loading of the page) and also use a preload script (this is great for images. Page will in over all load alot faster then what it is currently) |
Thanks for the advice;
-Why the use for IFRAME? to make customizing and updating my website rather quickly I assume? (no reason was given so I'm only guessing.) I already use a built in ASP command called include, which automatically includes my template into the page so i update template, and changes happen on all pages. Almost identical function iframe, but the server handles it so i don't have to worry about compatibility with browsers. (Was there a reason I am missing?)
-I definately need to get more familiar with CSS, it would help make everything easier to change, and give me more control over the site. I'll look into that this week.
-I could easily setup a nice DHTML banner, but I only have 5 pages on my website. With so few of pages, I don't know how the banner would help users access my page. For aestheic reasons I may make buttons, instead of raw links.. but not yet.
-Load up script to load the images? For all 3 or 4 images it will help you say? I'll look into that this week as well. Thanks.
Page load speed issues? Any particular pages you have an issue with? To make a long story short... my web server is quite bottlenecked on only 13KB/sec. So great effort is being put into keeping it low bandwidth, right now most of the transfer is in the HTML code because I have so few of images, and thats the way I like it
if you have any more suggestions, feel free to let me know. I'll look into what you suggested.
