Here's my first go at a template for all the content pages. I also have another file with links but it's not yet organized.
The current navbar as seen on our template has been fine tuned just in time for us to change the website structure. It now does not mention our three most important pages, Timelines, Reference Shelf, and Roman Forum except to link to the homepage where they can be accessed. Maybe this is enough, but we will have to think about what links should be on the main navbar. We also need to link in the CSS selector. (see below) [chroniclemaster1, 2005/11/15]
Hi! I've been talking about it forever, and I've finally figured out how to program the thing. Here's the deluxe nav bar as done in frames. What the frame does is display two webpages at the same time, I've designed the one special navbar page that's small, and then the main page shows up in the main lower frame. Note the frame border can be dragged to resize the height if you want it larger or smaller. And yes that's not the beta site down there... that's the really for real EarthChronicle.com site linked right in. So play. You can interact with the main lower window normally. However, any link that you click in the navbar replaces what's in the lower window, so the navbar remains for you to use as you want. I'm not sure how much to explain about frames, so if you have any ideas, just ask and I'll be more than happy to tell you if I can do it.
OK, I guess you have to go to all the trouble of learning something inside out and figuring out all the tips and tricks before you can really say... that's awful, it's not going to work. We are still looking at the same conceptual design for our navbar, one file that can be easily changed and is requested by all webpages (probably using a <link>). We are trying to see if a javascript will work. *rolling eyes* At the very least I'll learn javascript out of it. Javascript would also eliminate separate navbars, the script would be the content page navbar. Please let us know if you have any ideas. Or would like to help us program in javascript... it'd be nice to have at least ONE person who knew what they were doing. ;) [chroniclemaster1, 2005/11/15]
BREAKTHROUGH!?! I think I may have the guts of the navbar!!!! I've only been trying different options on that for about 10 of the 12 months I've been building this website. I have the test navbar up at navbarindex.html I have a 5 button navbar up at the top. I'd appreciate it if everyone could check this out. I'd like to know that it's working for everyone on their different computers, programs, and configurations. If it works, then it's golden, it'll probably be the most important piece of programming on the webpages. If it doesn't, I'll need to go back to the drawing board, preferably sooner rather than later. If anyone has a Mac, I'd be especially interested in your input. I don't have one to test this out on anyware. [chroniclemaster1, 2006/04/14]
