Hi!

I need some helpwith my site www.proactionusa.com

The page I need help on is the main page. There is a lot of stuff not working. I designed it using tables. If you check out the source code maybe you will be able to help me out. I used Go Live to create it and I am having trouble with the following.

1. The tables dont seem to want to stay in place. Like the one on e the left where it says Hot Items that is supposed to be pushed up to the top but as you can see it is down a littel for the top. Any help woulf be greatly appreciated.

2. The buttones on the side like surfing, snowboard, etc. are rolovers but they do not work. I did them in Go Live and it works in Go Live but when I upload to the server it does not work. I know the buttons that say videos, accessories and info are not the right image. A mystery I am trying to solve.

3. The date stamp I have on the top right does not change to the correct date? help!!!!!

4. As you can see we ar changing our name to Board Wild So I need to redirect people that go to www.proactionusa.com to www.boardwild.net I was told to creat a custom 404 redirect page. I have read some about them and kind of understand. My question is we have like 150+ videos do I need to make a custom 404 redirect page for each product page? For ex. www.proactionusa.com/3_degress.html do I need to make a 404 custom redirect page for them to be taken to www.boardwild.net/3_degrees.html or is there an easier way? I ask this because people do searched for a patrticular video title like 3 Degress and the search takes them to www.proactionusa.com/3_degress.html so if I want to redirect them to our new page what is the best way?

Any help on any of these would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Jeff

1. you are using pixel values for your tables. that is not recommended.
use percentage for the width. so that the tables/content of the page adjust accordingly with the screen size.

2. you ave given heights for all the table rows. dont give the height unless you cannot avoid it. let the content adjust the height automatically.
incase you want to stick with that then in the td give

valign=top

this makes your content to be in the top of the td and not in the center which is default.

3. the reason the menu is not working is this

<script type="text/javascript" src="file:///Macintosh%20HD/Users/jeffcarl/Library/Preferences/Adobe/GoLive/Settings/JScripts/GlobalScripts/CSScriptLib.js"></script>

the path is ur local harddisk path. change that to wat is there in the website.
example: change the src=csscriptlib.js and upload the js to where the html page is. this will be fine.

4. the date stamp is a feature in golive. it stamps the last modified date in golive. thats all.

5. as for the redirection, you do not need a custom 404 page. u can create one page where you just say you have changed ur name and u r being forwarded to the new one. something like this.

6 . dont be dependent ona wysiwyg designer.. try to learn the codes so that you can manipulate them whenever and whereever you want.


hope this helps and let know if u need anything.

Thank You for the reply.

I did the

valign=top

for the part of the table that say Hot items but it did not seem to work?

I got the rollovers to work. Thank You

On the date stamp ow do I get that to work? i had herd something like it needs to be dynamic? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I also have a problem with a few graphics like the buttons that say

Videos, Accessories, Info

They should look different like the other buttons that are on there just darker in color. The ones you see are from the old site. I made new ones and called them the same like videos.gif and etc. I have uploaded them to the server many times and it shows that they were updated by the date. I have no idea how the old ones are even showing up they should have been overwrite by then new ones, so basically they are not even there. The same goes with the credit card graphics. I took out the Discover card. The other one is the video on the far left of the top 3 in the middle it is now 3D like the other 2. I have uploaded all these new images but they are not showing?

Any help our suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Jeff

They seem to be a mystery file. I am using Fetch to upload and everything else has seemed to upload fine.

Thank You

Jeff

Who did you register your domain name with? If you registered it with GoDaddy.com or any other domain registrar that allows you to forward it, you could just forward people from your proaction one to your new one automatically. That's what I would do.

For the timestamp, you can use this Javascript:

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
// --
days = new Array(7)
days[1] = "Sunday";
days[2] = "Monday";
days[3] = "Tuesday";
days[4] = "Wednesday";
days[5] = "Thursday";
days[6] = "Friday";
days[7] = "Saturday";
months = new Array(12)
months[1] = "January";
months[2] = "February";
months[3] = "March";
months[4] = "April";
months[5] = "May";
months[6] = "June";
months[7] = "July";
months[8] = "August";
months[9] = "September";
months[10] = "October";
months[11] = "November";
months[12] = "December";
today = new Date(); day = days[today.getDay() + 1]
month = months[today.getMonth() + 1]
date = today.getDate()
year=today.getYear();
if (year < 2000)
year = year + 1900;
document.write ("<font size=2 face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif' color=#FFFFFF> " + day + ",&nbsp;" + month + "&nbsp;" + date + ",&nbsp;" + year + "</font>")
// -- end hiding </SCRIPT>

Just insert that into the HTML code where you want it...

For the redirection, do you have the new site on a different server? If you just need everyone that types in http://www.proactionusa.com to be forwarded to http://www.boardwild.net ? If so, Read This


WOW... sorry for the big post... hehe

Hi!

I did register both domain names with Gd. So how do you get them to redirect the old to the new automaticaly? Also I have like 150+ titles and people find those videos in a search and go right to that product page. So I need to redirect everyone that goes to any product to the new site main page or to the new site and that same product if possible?

As far as that java script goes to I just copy and past that where I had the small script for the time stamp already? Also is there any script file I have to upload to the server to make this script work?

Thank Youm for posting that script.

Thank You

Jeff

You will need to create a 404 error page that redirects to the new site with the refresh code. Then, once you have removed the pages from the old server, the 404 will come up and redirect the visitor to the new site. If you want each product to go to the product that the customer is looking for, you may need to put the refresh code on each of the pages, directing to the new page with the same product...

Are all the products on static HTML pages?

As for the script... Yes, just copy and paste. You can see a sample of it here. You can also change the colors and size of the text...

Hi!

Thank You for the reply.

Thank You for the java script. That will work perfeect.

As far as the product pages being static html I think so. I am sorry but this is all still pretty new so what is static?

Also about the custom 404 redirect pages. You said I will have to create a custom 404 redirect that direct people with refresh code? What is that? So then there are no pages for the old site on the server? or just the custom 404 redirect page? Sothen if I want to redirect people for a product to the same product I would have to make a seperate custom 404 redirect page for each product?

Again sorry fro all the questions. Still very new.

So is a custom 404 redirect page hard to do? I might just have all pages pointing to the new main page. Is that very hard? So if a customer searches for a product and they go to that product page it would be cool if it said for example

We have changed our name to Board Wild and the new web address is *****

You will be takento the new site in 5 sec. iIf not then click the link above.

Is that possilbe ot have that come up for every possible old page? if so is somehtng you would suggest?

Thank You

Jeff

Hi!

I forgot to post one more thing in the post above.

if you check the source code I am usingtables and the one on the far right of the main page were the header says Hit Items it is not pushed up to the top? i was told to do

valign=top

I did that but it did not seem to work. Can someone check to see if I did it right?

Thank You

Jeff

Hi!

Well it seems that I almost having everything working correctly now.

Except some mystery files. The

Videos, Acessories, and Info buttons should not look like that. Those were olds ones I made for the old site.

Also the credit card graphics and the video on the front on the far right in the top row of 3 it should be 3D.

here is what I have done. I have deleted those files off the server. Then I upload them again, still did not work. I use Fetch and you can check a file to see what it looks like in fetch and they look like they should but they do not show up on the page that way? The old files are gone!!!!! The new ones have the same name but are different. How have no idea how the old ones are showing up?

I even deleted all those files. So I could see if nothing came up in there spot, but with the files deleted the old ones still came up and I can not find any other files with those name on the server?

Then I went into photoshop and took all those images and saved them over again and replaced them in my foloder. I then upload them to the server overwriting the old ones. Still will not show up right?

it is funny though the video one, if yoiu go to that product page it then shows the 3D video box, which it should but it is the same name and should show that way on the main page as well. So can some help?

Thank You

Jeff

Hi!

Well I have tried all I can think of with these mystery files.

I hope someone can find out what is going on.

Thank You

Jeff
