Dr. Website Archives Dr. Website® Archives 2002 Mar 14, 2002 Question: I have started a new business that sells Hawaiian clothing, accessories, lotions, etc. How do I start the process of getting my website up? Is there free program that can take me through thisprocess step-by-step. I don't relish the idea of returning to school to spend three months or more learning how to do this. I am on Windows 98SE and see that there is a section with the paintbrush, etc that may be where I want to start but I'm just not sure. Can you help me? Thanks so much Answer: The are a number of free services that will give you hosting space and step by step instructions on building your web page or site. I said free but not really, you may have to register your Web site name through them. Some will give you free limited space for free as long as you show there banner ads and name on your page. Web hosting fees start at 6.95 all depending on your needs. Here is a link where you can find webhost that can fit your needs: http://webhost.thelist.com/ Thanks --Dr.Website Question: Dear Dr. Website: I created a framed Web site that uses four frames. I would like to activate some links in one of the frames that will cause new content to appear simultaneously in two of the other frames. I can get it to appear in one frame, but not two. I have seen sites that do this; can you help me? Answer: One way you can cause two frames in your Web site to update at the same time is to contain them within a separate new <FRAMESET>. You would then link to the new <FRAMESET>, not the two individual frames, to reload the two frame contents. The drawback to this method is that the two frames to be updated must be adjacent, since they're part of the same <FRAMESET>. It also adds a layer of complexity-something that's already in abundant supply on most frame-based Web sites-by compelling you to create and manage several extra pages containing the <FRAMESET> declarations. You can also accomplish this effect by using JavaScript, via a variety of scripts. One good place to look for information about both HTML and JavaScript solutions to this problem is the Frames FAQ: Updating Two Frames at Once page on the Web Design Group's site.. Thanks, --Dr.Website Question: Dear Dr. Website: I know that if I make a link to a PDF file on my web site, then a user can access acrobat's function to save the file on their hard disk, but I have been looking for a javascript solution - not a server side include, to make a link download a PDF or archived file to the user. Is such a thing available or do-able? Answer: The part that makes it start to load rather than download is set within the web server's MIME types. There's not really any way to make it download versus display via JavaScript that I'm aware of, though you could just put it in a zip file, which would automatically be downloaded rather than displayed. Thanks --Dr.Website ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
