  Hi Jacques

                Im slowly getting into this, I have a couple of queries

1.im trying to put local images on my web page I have been successful in changing thumbs,however only only managed 5 corresponding jpg the remainder remain the originals even though I have deleted them.
2.i experimented with the header photo use the dimensions u state but the pic is elongated how do I correct that

and finally how do I create more pages with the correspondin buttons on the web page.

Hi Shapka,

1 - Pictures of the images page are into folder slides
ideal size is 600x400px. miniatures are into folder slides/thumbs
and you could try to keep it smaller than 60px height. So it take 1 image for
the picture and an other for thumb image.

2 - Images for header slides need to be 954x200px. Your problem is that you
have resized (stretch) your image instead of cutting only excess part of the images.

Finally, for new pages, you could use a copy of the file webcam.htm. this file
contain just a few lines, so you could easily remove that content to fill with your
own content. Simply locate these lines (red dots is where to put your content)

<div id="content">
   <div class="sep_vert">
...
...
...

   </div>
</div>

Finally, you add your new page link to all pages, by inserting a line to the menu:

<!--  Main menu  -->
<div id="buttons">
   <a href="index.htm" class="but"  title="Main page">Now</a>
   <a href="NewPage.htm" class="but but_t"  title="My New Page">New</a>
...

A little hint: see that 2 different class is used:
class="but" is for regular button
class="but but_t" is for the current page (button highlighted)

Hope this help!

Regards,
Jacques

    Partial success was able to get main page header to the right proportions, I am working on my images file,

MY prob at the moment is ithink I followed ur instructions on new page/corresponding button on first view of my web site the button
is there and works but once pessed it then disappears and I cant get it back unless I close down the web site and reboot
then it appears only to disappear. I have noticed on other members websites dropdown menu can u instruct on how I achieve
this

Hi Shapka,

For your menu, item charts is out of the line because menu is sized
to fill bar lenght, to correct this you have to edit file styles.css,
find these lines:

.but {
    padding: 0 20px;
}

That is the space left for each item, simply reduce 20px
for something well for you. Also, you need to add your
new line (item charts) in each pages.

Pull-down menus that you seen on others are from Php
templates, html templates are using basic menu.
I liked your photo in the bar... I'll take the beer!  :))

Regards,
Jacques
