IWeb welcome page design question

I am working on a web page for my company the company is divided into two sections. My question is this........ is there a way to creat just a welcome page with a link to one side of the company and then a second link to the other. THEN when you click on weither of those links you go to that part of the company and you do not see the other????
Basicly I want to host two web sites on one server but they share the same welcome page.
Please help.
Thanks

Most hosting services will allow you a fairly large number of sub-domains for each standard domain.
For example one of my accounts allows me to have 8 standard and 300 sub- domains.
You would create a Company website as the standard domain and then a sub-domain for each separate part of the company. The sub-domains are linked to the standard domains but are in separate folders on the server.
You can give people the URL for a sub-domain so that they can go straight there without having to visit the standard domain first.
The only time I had to do this I found it easier to build the standard domain and the subs as separate websites in iWeb so that I could load them one at a time and do updates without having to deal with the whole website.
This also makes the initial upload easier as well.
The first time I tried this I screwed it all up in my usual fashion and had to get the hosting service tech support to bail me out! It was a good learning experience.

Edit the images name in these files and put your new images in the layout folder of the project.
If u want to remove the " register now" option in the logon screen, remove the self registration tag in the umLogonPage.jsp
If u need,I will also send one pdf related login page change.

Two problems with iWeb welcome page

After some obvious struggling I was able to create a working welcome page with links to my homepages. I have two questions regarding the page:
1. First, the page does not fit the full screen when seen in Safari. It seats too small in the middle of a white background.
2. Second, more troubling, the page cannot be forwarded to my domain since the address:
///Volumes/frasecco8/Web/Sites/iWeb/Welcome%20page/Welcome.html, is not recognized by the domain.
What can I do about these two problems?
I feel I am very close to having a working website, with links, pictures, etc. but I am no quite there yet.
Thanks for any suggestion, advice.

1) In iWeb, click on the inspector button (the blue cirle with an i) select the page tab. From there you can adjust the height and width of the page, as well as background colors. Keep in mind that screen sizes vary widely; try to choose a size that will work well on both smaller and larger screens.
2) I presume you mean that you are publishing to .mac but have a purchased domain name and want to forward from your purchased domain name to your .mac site? In that case the problem is that you are using the wrong url for forwarding. Try entering http://web.mac.com/frasecco8.
If that doesn't work, then try:
http://web.mac.com/frasecco8/iWeb/Welcome%20page/
I hope this helps.

Page design question

I'll start by stating that I know little about web design however, I'm pretty good with Photoshop. I have designed my whole website with iweb. I simply used a blank black page for every page and added text via iweb for links. I also added my logo as a png. What bothers me is that the text looks like text and not like professional looking web buttons. Also, when my site initially loads, the logo looks like it loads seperately. If you visit my site, you'll see what I mean.
http://www.willkingphotography.com
My question is, should I design my page templates in Photoshop with my logo and web buttons integrated into the page and save it as a jpg or png and use that for my site? The web buttons would be much like what you see here on this site at the top banner: Store | Mac | iPod+iTune | ect..... They would not be seperate assets but rather the whole page would be a single graphic file. I think I can insert a hyperlinked text box but leave it blank and size and place the text box over anything that I want to be clickable. The text box would be invisible but allow me to create an area that is hyperlinked. Hope that makes sense.
Would the site look cleaner this way? It would slow down how fast my site loads? Is there perhaps a better way of doing this? Any thoughts or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you incorporated the buttons via Photoshop, you can then put transparent shapes over those button and link the shapes to the pages. That way you would have the button design of your choice. Be sure to reduce the size of the file you create as small as possible to facilitate a speedy loading of the page.
Or you could add a shape, enter the text for the link, and link the text. This demo page has some quick and dirty examples: Text Based Navbar.

Retrieving lists from other layer into a JSP page - Design Question

Hi all,
What should be a good design technique in order to allow a JSP page to present some list obtained from other layer of my application. I intend to leave only presentation logic in the JSP layer, while all data access will be in other layer.
For example, I have a JSP page that will show the results of a SQL query originated from an entry form in other JSP page. Let's name them 'search.jsp' and 'result.jsp'
I want that all JDBC access be done in some other layer.
Question 1:
What would be better for this task? A servlet or a bean? (A bean, I suppose?)
Then this bean (?) would have to find some way to pass all the result set into this 'result.jsp'. I think it would be very poor design if I used some Data Object, because it would have to store all rows and pass them at once.
I don't want, either, that the presentation (JSP) layer access directly the data access layer (JDBC, files...). This way, I don't want any JSP page accessing the Resultset object directly.
Question 2:
What do you think could be a good design technique?
I thought of some intermediate layer that provided data objects and data access interfaces. I mean, as my data will come from different sources, like some database (JDBC), some Electronic Document Manager, I thought of having a common access interface, that would provide methods for accessing the resultsets. This could be even a java.util.Enumeration that has a hasMoreElements() method that could be implemented as the next() method from JDBC result sets and the nextElement() method that would actually bring the next row of data.
This way the JSP layer would see only hasMoreElements() and nextElement() methods from the middle layer. On the other hand, the data layer would provide as many different implementations to this access interface (Enumeration?) as there were data sources (JDBC, Files, ...)
Question 3:
What do you think of this design?
Question 4:
Is there any flaw in my approach? Which?
Question 5:
Could you suggest other designs?
I really thank you all, for any kind of answer. I actually use this design for development, however I've never seriously discussed it with someone... this is going to be of great value for me.
Regards,
Filipe Fedalto

Well I saw you question and I'll tell you what I do.
I have JSP's which post form data to servlets.
The servlet then calls a factory to produce a ResultContainer (analagous to your lists) which is generated
via JDBC, and/or request parameters etc...
this provides a single point of reference and a "group" of containers (functions really) that can be produced and reused (same container different amount of data)
I also have other static classes which can manipulate the data in the containers
(such as add additional info to the items in the containers) before I forward the container (request attribute)
to the JSP page
Additionally I use Type safe constants for all my HTML form tag names (easier to change and ensure the same name is used everywhere when reading parameters) and again for item statuses
and any other info I need to send along with the page (using Javascript to update the
status to another type safe constant).
I've found that using factories for ResultContainers is very worthwhile and allows you to implement additional servlets extremely quickly (mostly reusing containers that exist) and since the
container is the same for all my JSPs (this may not be the case with you) I can implement JSP's
very quickly as well (just change the view)
btw I refrain from calling my ResultContainer a bean because it is not serializable
I don't know if this will help but at least it gives me a forum to test my ideas
Thanks

Confirmation Page - Design Question

I have built a page that has a few MessageLovInput's and then a messageFileUpload in which the user uploades a spreadsheet containing employee numbers. I then loop through the spreadsheet and call a couple API's to create delegate bookings inside the OLM module.
This works fine, but I want to build some confirmation logic into my page before the process to call the API's is called.
Which of the following would be best:
1. Loop through the Spreadsheet and insert the employee numbers into a custom table and then create a view object to join my custom table with the necessary employee tables (to get the employee name,location, org, supervisor info) ->then when my submit button is selected, I forward to another page that contains a table connected to the above mentioned view object with a "Confirm" button, then from there I loop through my view object and call my API's?
2. Create a view object to retreive my employee information and then create another view object to display, then loop through the spreadsheet and call the 1st view object to retreive my employee information and then insert rows into my second view object?
3. Use a different method?
Any help is much appreciated.

If you incorporated the buttons via Photoshop, you can then put transparent shapes over those button and link the shapes to the pages. That way you would have the button design of your choice. Be sure to reduce the size of the file you create as small as possible to facilitate a speedy loading of the page.

Page Design ?

Hi All,
I am Planning to develop a Web page before that let me explain my taught.
I have a card reader which reads the data from Chip, So when ever such thing happen I need to display information that I got from the Chip,Also I need to display the information related to that chip data (ERP Database Data) in the same page.
Is it possible to build such page thing using ADF? If so what are things i need to know or use?
Please guide me.
Thanks
Kumar.

Hi,
you need to know how the card reader is integrated. If it sis integrated on the server side, you would use Active Data Services in ADF Faces to push the information to the browser. If the card reader is attached to the computer running the browser view, you need to invoke JavaScript from the reader (which means the reader has an activeX or Java interface on the page) to notify and query the server. Its less a page design question but functional. However, you may want to refine the question with more details to get a better answer

Family has problems viewing my page + other questions about iweb 08???

Hello: I have been using iweb 08 since it came out and have had nothing but good things to talk about it. I ususally test my website on the library pc's or on my mac using firefox. I never see anything not working. My family and friends however always tell me about things not working and not showing up. They say it takes a long time to load - I am not sure if that is the problem overall or if it comes from them using Pc's (windowns xp mainly).
My questions:
1. How can I make sure that the content of my page does not take too long to load if I am using music, videos and images? (I know to look at the file sizes of all of them, but is there another trick)
2. Can I have a main page for everyone to view my welcome page and then password protect the rest of the page only to my family? Or even make some pages only available for eg. Mom and Dad with another password?
3. Does a Hit counter not work when publishing to my own domain? If yes, why do comments and password protection work then?
4. Is it possible to link a page from my start page where I incorporated a picture and enable my viewers to see it larger when clicking on it without me making a new site that shows up in the top panel (just like about me, blog, photos, movies)
5. There used to be a page to look at .mac customers and what they did with their membership. Starting their own business, military wife uses web gallery etc. I can't seem to find this page again, does anyone know the link.
I know this is a lot, if I could I would offer a reward for all the answers I need. Thanks though for helping me out, I try to help out as much as I can myself. Thank you. Sabina

Your site is loading OK but slow in Windows XP running IE V 7. The form is loading too. Maybe its a Vista problem?
My general rule is that if your site locks IE then you have to reduce the page size and optimize.
If it loads slowly and shows layout anomalies, then optimizing will usually cure it.
I have been using Web Site Maestro for several years and can highly recommend it. Download the trial version which will optimize 50% of your files and watch the screen to see how much it reduces the individual file sizes.
For an example of photo file reduction see....

Adding Background music to welcome page on Iweb.. any ideas? instructions?

looking to add background music to my welcome page on iweb. any easy instructions? thanks daniel malibu

Take a look at my page "source" code for some clues.
Editing published pages is as easy as opening the "raw" html code in TextEdit (preferences set to "plain" text) and applying your edits (copy/paste simple).
But once you edit these pages any changes made by the iWeb application and a new "publish" would remove your hand edited code.
To change what appears in your "Title" would only require you edit that line of code. To add metatags is the same.
The "snippet" part of iWeb 2 is always in the "body" part of the page code. Title and custom icons are part of the "head" tag code. Javascript code could be in even more parts depending on its function.
None of this is for the faint of heart or for those that don't understand the basics of html page code.
Open your published iWeb 2 page with a text editor and edit the "title" tag code to change the displayed "name". To add a custom icon requires you upload a 16X16 image file (the size of the icon in the browser address bar), upload that file to your server and then use that URL in the edited html code for your page. These are part of the "head" tag code.
Hope this helps.

Last point...who archives? On my regular email page I now have the Archive icon to the left of my Delete icon which I would prefer was to the left, first in the line as this is the icon I use mostly. With Folders, my Sent and Trash lists, who needs to archive?
I can help you only with the placement of the icon placement -- if you right-mouse click on the toolbar, then select Customize Toolbar, you can move an icon to where you want it to be.

Can't post iWeb to Mac, have 58 welcome pages... Help?

I've had no problems with iWeb and i tried updating my site today. No errors came up during publishing but the site refuses to load. I've also noticed that I have multiple welcome pages (58 at the moment) which I'd like to delete as well.
Are these problems related and how do I delete the excess pages?

It looks as if the .Mac servers are having lots of trouble as of now (they may have crashed) so you may want to put off uploading until the servers have been restored, as this is most likely why your site is not loading.

How do i make a photo slideshow / banner for the welcome page in iWeb

How do i create a photo slideshow or fading slidshow for the welcome page in iweb

There are trillions of slideshows to be found on the internets.
Download the one you like, make it work the way you want and put it on the server.
Display it in the browser to see if it looks the way you want.
Then use the <iframe> html element to display it in a HTML Snippet.
Like this :

The Counter on Welcome page is not showing up. How to find it?

Bottomest line is: My first Welcome page is not showing the Counter. I put a counter on it and nothing shows. I tried disassembling the page by lifting layers, and maybe I did it incorrectly, but I cannot find the errant Counter.
I tried going to the menu and de-selecting the Counter and then selecting it again, but that did not fool iWeb. It did not put a second Counter on my Welcome page because it knows that Lorna already put one there and it does not care that to the average non-Superman eye, it is invisible.
QUESTION:
How do I find that invisible Counter? What must I do, or do better?
— Lorna in Southern California

Is the welcome page the page with the big picture of
a flower overlaying everything, linking into your
site? Your page source does show a counter to be
present at location 34 pixels from top of page and 40
pixels from the left, but you have the picture over
it!
.......... Lorna says ................................................
Yes, that is the welcome page: the pink flower. What page source? How do you see a page source? Anyhow, I went to the Welcome page in iWeb and moved the pink flower picture to the side and out of the window. I see nothing! No Counter and no picture covering a Counter. The only picture I see is my pink flower picture.
It is probably still counting, but you won't be able
to see it. If you remove your picture (or make it
smaller) and republish you will see it.
.......... Lorna says ................................................
But I have moved the pink flower picture away and have cleared the field and see nothing. I did not make the picture smaller; if I can just push it out of the way, why would I need to make it smaller? (I suspect I am missing something here.)
