Hi
I am new in this forum. I have font problem on my website www.baimaiiflorist.com designed by Dreamweave 8.
On the first page my font is changed on other computer. I tried to find out on internet but it is doesn't work. Please someone explain how to fix this problem and I need to know how to adjust the web pages to be the center of screen for all monitor.

Thank.

You probably have the font (Noir-et-Blanc?) installed on one computer but not the other. Use a rule like

font-family: Noir-et-Blanc, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

to specify substitute fonts in case your favourite isn't installed on the user's machine.

I would move away from using frames if I were you, as they aren't very good from a search engine (e.g. Google) point of view. I believ frames are bad from other points of view too, but I couldn't tell you what thety were...

As far as good web design goes, you might want to consider moving your styles to an external stylesheet. Doing this will take advantage of the big benefit of using CSS; change the style once to affect all pages on your site.

Thank qrinqo.
If frame is not good.I have on idea how to display only the content area when user clicks on menu. I mean I don't want to redisplay the whole page when user click another menu. Please help to advise.

Can I ask why? It's quite common for different pages to have different URLs, requiring that the whole page get rendered. If you are worried about loading times, I would try and optimise the images on the site. The image on the home page is quite heavy at 87 Kb. If you have Fireworks you can easily optimise your images.

Yes. On my design, i would like the banner and menu is still there every time user click and i think it is good more better and it is save loading time even if it is a little piece of time. Can I do on Dreamweaver 8 ?

I would just code the banner and menu on every page. I believe that Dreamweaver has a template facility, which might be useful to you, but I don't know how it works.

You misunderstand how HTTP and your browser cache works. The first time you visit a web page, the browser caches everything on that page - including graphics. When going to another page in the same site, the browser pulls from the users hard drive CACHE, it does NOT pull from the web server, so it is not increasing bandwidth usage or load times.

Thank for your idea LadynRed.

Yes,everything is in caches but the menu and banner are disappear a few second anyway same as I press refresh. And I don't want to happen like that.

you have several option to change the font
1)open dreamweaver and press [ F11/design/css/select style/css properties/font family] now you can edit your font as required.

2)you can also set by css, <font-family: Tahoma>.

3)If it is not present then install it.

Why not? It is what the vast majority of websites do

THe best way to minimise rendering times (from load to visible in a browser) is to keep images sizes small and use CSS positioning instead of tables
your banner for example is a little over 42k.
The services page is 250Mb!!!!!!!! in images and took almost 20 seconds to load up on 2Mb broadband.

Seriously, the miniscule time and bandwidth saving that using frames will give, is utterly insignificant when compared against the time and bandwidth wasting that your images and tables based pages cause.
