Thread: Easyweb Beta 25 Hyperlink and text box
Hello, I have seen the same posts for the beta 24 and the admins said it is fixed but when I create a hyperlink and preview my site the hyperlink style changes! :x
Does anyone have the same problem and does any one know how to fix this?

Thread: menu at the side of the page
The facility to place a menu, or anything else for that matter in a field in a margin at the side of the site so that it will be static whilst the rest of the page scrolls. Basically a frame.

I have tried and presume you can't do this yet without custom code. Would add a lot of flexibility to what can be done with an EasyWeb design...

Many Thanks,

Matt.

PS I should say that I saw you can re-arrange the header so the menu appears to be at the side but it means cheating by putting your main page body in the header (and the menu will scroll away as you navigate down the page).

Thread: Navigation Menu
New to EasyWeb-am enjoying its simplicity and ease of use. Great fun to use... Without a doubt, worth the wait.

Two questions about the Navigation Menu...

1. I mistakenly monkeyed around with each Navigation Menu on different pages. To keep the menu consistent, could I select the one entire Navigation Menu-the one I want- then copy, and paste it on the other pages after deleting the old one? Does that make sense? Thought it best to check before I tried it...

2. Right now the different elements of the Navigation Menu are small rectangles. Is there a simple way to change the overall outer shape (not injecting a shape within their boundaries) of each of the rectangles to small ovals? Similarly can I put a small colored border around each one? I think when I tried it before, the border looked askew-never precisely going around the entire border.

Thanks

p.s. Don't do Forums much and noticed that my Forum question (re: em dashes) popped up three times. Wonder what I did since I don't recall repeatedly entering the question?

Thread: Navigation Menu
Thanks, that worked well!

When I duplicated a page, however, then pasted it in to use as a template for another page, for some reason the entire Navigation Menu got screwed up on every page with the little rectangles all getting jammed up together. For now I'll try a workaround, maybe copy an extra Navigation Menu and paste it at the bottom of the page.

Thread: Navigation Menu
p.s. I see the problem. I've jammed together too many Navigation Menu topics (on one line) so there simply isn't enough space along the top line in the overall box. I need to figure out how to set up the Menu so it's centered but on two or three lines. Haven't figured out how to do it yet. Pressing the Return key doesn't seem do the trick...

Thread: Navigation Menu
Got the screenshots but unsure how to attach them in this Forum. For now I just copied and pasted them below but don't know if that works.. One shows the Nav Menu I edited, making topics short enough so all would fit. The other Menu shows the mixup that occurs when I get longer topic words / phrases.

I could just email the screen shots to you, attaching them to a normal e-mail.

p.s. I don't know code, if that's involved...

Got the message, "file too big, max allowed is 256. Then I compressed the file and got same message a couple of times.

Let me know if these attachments work, Roddy. Kept reducing the preview files.

Yes, they were small but it seemed when they were bigger, they weren't able to get through. Could I send them to via normal email? (I did send them to Paul that way.)

As soon as I tried out the 800 width, I got the message, "The file is too big, maximum allow is 256 KB. (Did compress the file...)

Thread: Navigation Menu
Unsuccessfully tried to attach screenshots of Nav Menu. Compressed them, kept reducing their size as I got the notifications that my file was too big. Eventually it got it so small I don't think Roddy could read it!

Finally have decided to do what I should have done in the first place-just send the Nav Menu by itself (COM/Shift/4) without all the other graphic stuff. Hope this works...

Here, again, is the issue: Nav Menu works fine on one line if I use small words, small print, and don't use too many words. For this reason I'd like to do a menu that's centered with two or three lines. Haven't yet figured out how to create this effect using Line Height and Space before paragraph options. Hope I don't have to use code. If I must, I'll need a beginner's beginner manual!

So here goes, another attempt to send 2 different Nav Menus. One looks okay because I've used tiny print. The other is a bunched-up mess. If once again this doesn't work, do let me know if I could send it to you via mail.

Thanks for your patience...

p.s. Don't know what the phrase "place inline" actually means but I've assumed that's how I place the file on this post?

Thread: Navigation Menu
Thanks for suggesting that I paste in some code. To avoid coding I used a workaround and simply reduced my font sizes. Looks great but realize I can't avoid code forever. Got anything on this forum (or elsewhere) that talks about pasting in code at a very elementary level. I know, it's just copy and paste, but I'd rather be just a little familiar with it before plunging ahead... Thanks

Thread: Navigation Menu
New question regarding the Navigation Menu... If it's auto generated (and that's how I used it), what's the role of the Navigation Menu widget-to insert another one? Thanks.

Thread: Navigation Menu
Thanks, Paul. Did you get the email you asked me to send you with the 2 screenshots of the Nav Menu (one, with the faded colors and less precision), the other after it was published to a folder which was considerably sharper and more precise? (In both, the image [photo] looked about the same.) Do you think the one published to folder is pretty close to the way it'll eventually look published online?

Thread: Image Quality Downgraded
So, I tried to copy ... past my logo from iWeb into EasyWeb and I noticed it looked different. I then tried to drag and drop the original file from the Finder and it was the same thing. The difference is subtle, but noticeable. Please take a close look below.

Original File


After Inserted Into EasyWeb - Notice the shadow around the letters has reduced and color looks slightly fainted..
