I made the mistake of building a website however coding in IE and not firefox and big differences
http://www.troublefreetraveladvisor.com/try4.html
I want to make it look like how it displays in IE and think i will have to rebuilt it all again from the bottom, using firefox and dreamweaver 8.
Before I do it i want to get all of my CSS correct and coding. And my main cause for concern is the method of navigation.
I have just found about the php function "include" where I could build my Menu or List of Links, then tell the webpage to open this. Its a good idea as well, as my Site wont be totally complete for a while, I want to get it up and running with some basic feature, using this include menu means i could add and remove menu options once rather than on each and every page.
Can you say the best method. my example is on this page - http://www.tizag.com/phpT/include.php
I am wondering if i create the menu.inc and open it using php. Would i be able to put something in a CSS to do with the presentation and design of the Menu. I want pretty basic like how it is thru IE - http://www.troublefreetraveladvisor.com/try4.html . The entire layout on this page is great i think, its just shame that its not good in firebox. also note all the other pages+links dont display like the homepage, once i sorted the homepage+navigation i was going to replicate the design across everything. hence the reason i wanted to find the possibilities for my Menu/Links.
I have also read that I should do Iframes, so that I can open Links on the left in the other sections of the website. im not sure about the Iframes, I looked at this example - http://www.dyn-web.com/dhtml/iframes/height.html to work out how you direct a link to open. Is there another other good method, i dont want to use Java. At first i just used the homepage as a template and used it for each link, and used the open link on self option,but its not efficient is it.
When I rebuild I want it to be a 3colum tabless design as many ppl have said designing in tables doesnt help you. Wouldnt similar to this be a good choice to remake my site into as its similar and tabless - http://bluerobot.com/web/layouts/default.asp
Im so confused to how to direct my links to open up, should i simply copy my homepage for each page seeing as the menu will be auto using the php and just have each link open a page over the previous??
Hope u can advise me so that i dont have regrets and the get the site redesigned to work properley.
