Buiding my first web site

Hi i'm trying to build my first web site using Dreamweaver
MX. Could anyone please point me in the right direction

Don't even think of using a Frameset.
And don't think of using DW without doing a quick refresher
on HTML (and CSS
if you can take the time). DW will punish you if you do not
have this under
your belt - you will get bogged down and will fall way
behind.
When you are ready, start by using FILE | New > HTML >
and select a layout
you like (they are unadorned) but what you are looking for is
the basic
layout properties, not the decoration. Exercise your creative
skills on
these 'skeleton' pages until you have it the way you want.
Then save it as
a template (FILE | Save As Template...). Define editable
regions in this
template so that you can put unique content on each page and
save it again
(FILE | Save). Now you can spawn child pages from the
template (FILE | New
> Page from Template > template name > Create), add
page content to the
editable regions, and save. Pop them out like a Pez dispense,
and you are
done.
BE SURE YOU BRING YOUR HTML BRAINS WITH YOU.

When I click on "RESORE PREVIOUS SESSION" it always brings up the same first web site I opened on this computer.

"Restore previous session" always opens the first web site I opened on this new computer. It never changes no matter how many web sites I have opened over the past month.
It also opens the site which normally requires my user name and password to open.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Safari 4.0 is slower to show only the first web site

Safari 4.0 is slower to show only the first web site. Once Safari is open, the first site may take 4 to 5 seconds to show, and Console indicates:
11/06/09 17:15:09 [0x0-0x99099].com.apple.Safari[1029] Debugger() was called!
Subsequent sites load in just one second or so (and Console does not show any messsage).
If I quit Safari and open it again, the same issue arises: it takes longer to show the very first site (whatever it is) but not the subsequent ones (for which it is quicker), and Console shows a similar string on such very first site (but not the subsequent ones). Other examples of such string:
11/06/09 17:15:58 [0x0-0x9b09b].com.apple.Safari[1033] Debugger() was called!
11/06/09 17:15:58 [0x0-0x9b09b].com.apple.Safari[1033] Debugger() was called!
11/06/09 17:17:06 [0x0-0x9c09c].com.apple.Safari[1036] Debugger() was called!
How to prevent such Console message and make Safari also quick to show the very first page or site after opening Safari?
Thanks.

Not to get your hopes up, did you ever hear or figure out any resolution to this. I have a (slightly) similar issue passed along from one of my bosses, that when he upgraded to 4.0.2 it started causing issues with FTP logins through Safari. He would have to enter passwords multiple times on the same site. So initial entry worked and then every subsequent event needed a password entry. Just curious if this could be part of your problem. I tried to emulate the problem on my machines and only on the one I have the 4.0.2 update does it happen.

First web site

hi all, have been working on my first site please have a look and tell me what you think http://web.mac.com/gareth.barlow/iWeb/mac%20time/Home.html
it's not complete but just looking for some views on it, are there too many pages and are the colors ok, i tried to make each page look different, is this a good idea or should you stick with the same idea on all pages?
2 GHz Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.9) iPhone(i wish)

The names of your pages contain "%20", e.g.
http://web.mac.com/gareth.barlow/iWeb/mac%20time/imovie.html
As iWeb's Help viewer says: Browsers convert spaces in site names to "%20." To avoid these symbols, use an underscore, hyphen, or some other character instead of a space. Also avoid non-Roman characters; many get converted to numbers when you publish.
Also at the above page, "imovie" should be "iMovie", "isight" should be "iSight". There may be more typos like that. Take a look at Apple's website to see how they capitalize their products.
On a general note, a teacher of marketing & multimedia presentation design, Garr Reynolds says at his site: "Design is a big, big deal. We all have a responsibility to understand its potential and its power. You do not need to be a designer — but you do need to become more design sensitive or 'design mindful'."
In particular, according to another experienced designer: "Color should be used in the same way that type size is used: to emphasize importance, not decorate a page."
Reynolds' page about why design matters is worth reading...

This has nothing to do with fonts used; It is very likely you are copying the entire page and pasting it on your page without checking what is being pasted. After pasting, you need to edit out the text that is not relevant in your project or to just copy the text that you are interested in before pasting it.
Are you following the tutorial strictly and following the instructions carefully? The tutorial will tell you which text you need to copy and paste.on your page.
The css code you have pasted here is not going to solve any problems without the associated html going with it. You really need to upload the page to a free host such as coffeecup.com.
Hope this helps.

Creation of a simple web site --- how to get started?

First, I have recently purchased CS5, which is a very nice bundle of fantastic software. However, the thought of mastering all of these packages is mind-boggling. I started by jumping around between different packages, looking at tutorial material, examples, etc. which was quite helpful for getting an overview of how some of them worked and how I might use them. Presently, I have two main objectives --- 1) use Photoshop for doing some painting of images, and 2) use Dreamweaver to build a web site for a friend who offers a place of refuge for homeless cats. I initially thought it might be good to start with the painting project, however, I have changed my plan, and would like to pursue the design of a web page that can be used to help people to find a cat that they can adopt. Note, this is a non-profit application, but one that I believe to be quite important. Here are some of my initial thoughts on this site:
Site purpose:
To provide a web site for anyone to look at information on cats at this home, and how they
can adopt one of them.
Some features of the site:
1. A cat database that I as the designer would create. This database would contain
    an entry for each cat available for adoption. It would include such things as
    the name, sex, age, paths to image(s) and/or video(s) of the cat, health status, etc.
    Anyone accessing this site should be able to easily navigate around it and to examine
    entries in this database. The client (designated person at the home offering cats
    for adoption) would be given privledges to modify the database (add, delete, and modify
    entries). The user interface for the client to update the database should be very easy
    to use.
2. A simple form that could be used for information on someone that would like to adopt
    one of the cats in the database or to make an appointment to go to the location where
    the cat is being kept (for actual contact with the cat).
3. Track number of visitors to the site
Preliminary notes on the database
Fields:
- ID code (key) % Default: yymmddhrmnName (year-month-day-hr-min-Name)
- Name
- Sex (M / F)
- Neutered / Not neutered
- Age (estimated)
- Type (breed)
- Tagged (chip or ear marking)/ Not tagged
- Checked In date (yy/mm/dd)
- Checked Out date (yy/mm/dd)
- Status (needs home / has home)
- Social state (1,2,3,4,5)
- Health state (1,2,3,4,5)
- Companion state (1,2,3,4,5)
- Image (file name) % multiple files allowed
- Video (file name) % multiple files allowed
- Medical/vet data (e.g. vaccinations, etc.)
- General information (text on cat that includes comments, observations, etc.)
Notes:
* state = 1, Best
                5, Worst
Examples:
          Social state = 5, very unfriendly, afraid, etc.
                               3, can touch if careful
                               1, very friendly, unafraid
          Health state = 5, not in good health (e.g. infection)
                               3, only minor health problems
                               1, in very good health
   Companion state = 5, must have another cat or cats as company
                               3, could be with other cat(s) company
                               1, does not need the company of another cat
Now, with this initial information (granted this is very rough), my question:
How, armed with CS5, should I attack the problem of getting this web site up and running?
Keeping in mind that I really would like to learn how to use CS5, and that this would be my first web site project.
Any suggestions, study plan, references, etc. would be welcomed.
Message was edited by: Birdy40 because of some small errors and changes.

In keeping with bregent's admonition - it will invariably turn out more complicated than you imagined, if only because the more you do with this the more you will think of to do. In addition to the excellent suggestions of David Power's books and w3schools, I would offer one other bit of advice: Simplify. Make your initial project the simplest possible, and then gradually adding more and more features. That will make it easier for you - and this forum - to help along the way.
Perhaps as a first step, create a database with a few entries and then write code to retrieve the data.Even there you may find fields will need to be adjusted, added or removed or even redefined. Try all sorts of queries. Eventually you can create pages that will allow the input to be done with a form.
Good luck with the project./

After firefox loads, the first web pulled in takes 4-5 minutes, then all the rest of the webs work normally. It doesn't matter what web i pull in first. I have norton360.

After Firefox loads the home page (google), the first web site I click in my bookmarks takes 4-6 minutes to come in. Clicking on screen makes it go half-tone until it loads. From then on, all other bookmarks come in fast. It doesn't matter what bookmark I load first, it always takes major minutes. I am using Norton 360 and have even disabled the security and web checking and it made no difference.

Okay, here's what I found out. Followed the above instructions...no joy. I think this maybe needs to be posted in a general OS forum, as I'm thinking this is more about that vs just being about iPhoto/iTunes. Here's what I tried and learned.
A new account allowed iPhoto to open up immediately. However, iTunes seemed a touch slow...not sure if that is just due to it being a new account. So, I deleted that account and moved on to the preferences instructions above.
I removed all preferences and placed them in a "preferences A" folder on the desktop. Launched iPhoto and got the exact same results. Super slow...took forever to open. Took forever to close. Same with iTunes.
So I placed all of the removed preferences back into the folder and decided to start launching and closing apps to see what's affected, what's not. Here are the findings.
iPhoto - The worst of all. Takes 4 minutes to open.
Mail - Opens fine, closes very slowly...apprx 1 minute
Calculator - This now opens incredibly slowly. Also noticed that the blue light below a launching app in the dock that seems to radiate was not radiating immediately....just sort of sat there. About a minutes passes, then it radiates for a second and calculator opens. Quitting is instant
Garageband - Launching is slooooow, quitting is instant.
Lightroom 3 - quitting is slow....quit results in upper-left menu items flashing once, then beach ball for about 30 seconds.
These apps check out perfectly fine with no problems launching or quitting: iCal, Safari, Firefox, Aperture, Photoshop (CS3), Illustrator (CS3), InDesign (CS3), Acrobat, Suitcase, Image Capture, Disk Utility, Text Edit, Photo booth, Final Cut Pro.
So I'm at a loss. This may be more of an OS issue, but figured I'd post here to follow up on the suggestions given. I think I'll pose a question in the OS forums. I'm thinking this might mean boxing up the iMac and making a trip to the genius bar. It's incredibly frustrating.

How to show data from one web site to other web site having diffrent domain.

Dear all,
i want to show the selected data from one web site to other web site.

Please tel me in how many ways it can be accomplished.
If it can be done using jquery then please tel me the function or procedure to do it.
Note: ( i have seen the above behavior in many web sites .
like, i was purchasing some thing but finally declined,
after that i visited some other web sites to gets some other data on other area
, and i show my selected items of the first web site on second website as advertisement.)
i would like to know how these things are accomplished and how it can be done in asp.net.

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
Because your issue is about ASP.NET website programming, I suggest that you can consult your issue on ASP.NET forum:

Blog entries on my web site don't show, error message

Hi everyone,
I'm fully aware that my question may be off topic since it is possible that my problem has to do with my internet provider rather than with iWeb. If so, I would like to apologise.
Now this is what is puzzling me. I made my first web site using iWeb, and it looks pretty promising. When I click on the index file, my browser starts and shows me that everything works. I even managed to publish the site to a folder and to send the files via FTP to my provider. Everything seems to work just fine, all the pages show up, except for one thing - the blog page. What happens is this - online with my browser, I can see the blog overview with the first ten lines of each article. However, when I click on one of the blog entries to see the whole thing, I get a 404 error message telling me that the requested URL was not found on the server. But the files are there! Is there a way to "link" the blog entry files with the overview again? Or should I talk to my provider?
Thanks for your help!

Okay, I did some more research (which I should have done beforehand, I know, so sorry for bothering), and it turns out that my problem has indeed to do with my provider. Obviously, iWeb creates file and folder names with german umlaut characters (for instance, "Einträge", which means "entries"). This resulted in conflicts with file name restrictions on the server - something whether Apple nor my provider told me about in the first place. I'm pretty disappointed about this. Anyway, the server could not correctly link to files which were there, but included characters the server did not want to understand.
The solution: A guy from switzerland has written a little app called iWeb Translator, which does the nasty job of translating "the whole iWeb-Site to match the provider's constraints". This did the trick. The link: http://sschoenb.blogspot.com/2007/08/iweb-and-umlaut-characters.html. Thank you, man!

When I open a second Firefox browser window, the URL address window, instead of showing the URL, says "Go to a Web Site;" also, and more importantly, the "back" button is greyed out. This is a new problem, and the first Firefox window I open works fine.

After I open the first Firefox browser window, any additional window I open does not open my homepage, but opens a blank page with "New Tab" showing on the tab. An orange "Firefox" tab with a drop down arrow shows at the upper left hand corner of the screen. All of the options (File, Edit, etc.) are greyed out, however they will work if you move your cursor over them.
The URL address window says "Go to a Web Site". After I've gone to a website, the back button remains greyed out and I am not able to go back to a previous page. My RoboForm and Netcraft toolbars only show up in an abbreviate form. The add-on bar doesn't show up at all.
Again, this is a recent problem, and only happens after I've opened one browser window (which works fine) and then open additional browser windows (as few as one additional).

I had this same problem. Seems to be caused by the web developer tool bar FF extension (this started happening after a recent update to that extension). After disabling it, my FF is back to normal :)

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

Several problems continuous since first installing Firefox. Personal google search settings don't save; remember me options on web sites like Facebook aren't remembered; Youtube and Flixy videos don't play despite removing/reinstalling/upgrading Firefox several times; upgraded the latest flash plugin today, but no difference, symptoms are black play box with youtube and white box with Flixy. Disbale AV and antimalware makes no difference either.

I have a new problem with secondary web pages opening up without any action on my part other than simply moving the mouse pointer across the screen.

Is it possible to have a link/button inserted into the end of my flash video that makes up the first page of my web site

i am not sure if this will make sense so please tell me if it
doesn't. is it possible to have a link/button inserted into the end
of my flash video that makes up the first page of my web site. the
video plays showing the name of the site then fades to show the
text "enter" which i want to make the link to the next page.

> the video plays showing the name of the
> site then fades to show the text "enter"
in FLASH set a gotourl action on the last frame of the move.
If this is a "splash page" and has a dancing company logo and
a throbbing
drumbeat- reconsider. Just make the homepage of the website
the homepage.
Don't make people wait to see some content.
