Placing an HTML file won't work right FP2002

Donna

Hello all. Using FP2002, WinXPPro

I have made an html page and loaded into my site. I am trying to "Insert"
this html page (from my site--in other words inserting this exact page from
www.donnamcmenamin.com) onto a background page that has the general
navigation bars and background colors.

The html page works fine by itself, all image maps and rollovers are
functioning (as soon as I make the linked pages), but as soon as I insert
this html page into a new page with the background stuff, it all of a sudden
has scripting errors and the rollovers on the file tabs no longer change
color.

Here are two test pages:

First, the html page that functions by itself: Note as you pass over the
tabbed folders, the change to blue.

http://www.donnamcmenamin.com/LogoThumbs.html

then the page that has scripting errors on it after it is inserted into the
background template page. As you can see also, the rollovers quit changing
color

Additionally, my plan was to use this "spiral notebook" and general
navigation as a template page and then just insert my various portfolio
graphic images on top of the black side of the page, but I am at a loss to
see how this is possible now, which means I would have to create each page
totally from scratch, which is really a waste of time. Pls help if you can.
Thanks so much.

The page ThumbsNotWorking.htm is missing the JavaScript from the <head>
section and <body> tag that is present in the working page.
Add the missing bits, and you should be back on track.

When you use the FP Include Page component, only the content that is between the
<body>..content..</body> is inserted into other pages. So you script functions must be moved from
the <head< section of the page to be included, to after the opening <body> tag or you will have to
insert the function script into all pages that would be using the include content

Hi guys and thanks for the help. However, this is why I refer web page
design to others. I have tried moving the scripts from the head to the body
as suggested, but the rollovers still don't work. And I really need a
template since I will be putting up about 30 pages of this stuff and i don't
want to have to cut and paste code 30 times. So....... with all that being
said, I guess I will try and put the rollovers on thru FP and not
ImageReady-Photoshop. My biggest concern now is can I put a gif on top of a
gif in FP?

The blank portfolio would be one gif and hopefully saved with the main
navigation bar as a template. Then I would bring in the images and try to
insert on top of the black page, which means another gif or even a jpg on
top of the portfolio black page gif.

Well, I am off to waste more time to see if the above scenario will work. In
the interim, I will check in on the boards in case someone can offer further
suggestions.

Thanks.

Well, gifs on top of gifs--I don't guess that works in FP. I tried to put a
table on top of the black page, but FP wouldn't let me place it there. Jeez,
will I ever get these photos uploaded?

Suggestions, Pleeeeeeeeese.

You can't place a table on top of a table. You can place a cell within a table and layer an image
in it.

I just looked at the site, and I'm not sure what you're trying to do!!

In other words, set a "background" image for a table, and then place the next image in the cell.

Thank you Steve, I believe that you have me headed in the right track now.

If I may clarify for you, here is what I want to do.

The "black spiral looking notebook" will be on each page of the portfolio
section of my site.

This I see now will work as a background gif in the table.

The side tabs of the "spiral notebook" are hyperlinks to the respective
sections of the portfolio. I had originally set the black text to turn blue
on a rollover state created in ImageReady but it appears that this script is
giving me a few problems when I bring it in to FP.

So now, based on what you have said, I think the following scenario might
work the best.

1. Import just a gif of the spiral notebook (with NO writing on the tabs of
the notebook) and use that as a "background" image in the table.

2. Type the spiral notebooks tabs in FP and create hyperlinks on this text
in FP.

3. Place another image in a cell of the background picture table.

Assuming the above scenario will work, I am going to try and make a template
page with just the spiral notebook, complete with its hyperlinks, and the
general navigation bar on top of the page. Am assuming that FP will then let
me create hyperlinks on any images that I place in the cell of the
"background" table---ie: the 8 thumbnail images presently sitting on the
example page I submitted, could I draw an image map around each of those
thumbnails that will now be sitting in the cell of the table?

Hope I am being understood. I confuse myself sometimes.

Thanks for any further suggestions. As I said, there will be about 30 pages
of this "spiral notebook" scenario and I am trying to streamline the
process.

Jeez, that doesn't work either. I have imported the spiral notebook as a gif
and made it a background image in a table.

Next thing is FP won't let me type the notebook's tab names and put them on
top of the tabs on the notebook--guess that is because it is a background
image now.

So I tried to bring in the notebook with writing on the tabs, placed as a
background image on the table, but I can't select areas on the tabs to make
image maps for the hyperlinks.

How many other scenarios can I try that I haven't??

I am so very frustrated!!!!!!!!!

Separate the tabs from the background image, and then insert the tab image into a column on the
right, then you can create a imagemap with individual hotspots for each tab.
