Web Design & New Media Marketing: 1 year, 6 months agoGetting on well with the completely revamped version of http://www.stourbridge.com, but with over 1000 pages its taking an eternity!
-
If you move away from a table based design, and start using semantically coded divs and CSS, you could update the entire site by editing one file.
Should the site be even more complex, using includes (either, (asp).net, php, or even shtml) should make editing ”sections” such as footers, headers and/or side bars even easier.
-
Thanks Richard, I’m well aware of the shortcomings of table layouts and the benfits of the likes of CSS and divs, but this site was first put together in the late 90′s and I don’t think CSS even existed then! Certainly you couldn’t reliably use divs because of compatibility issues. The site is deliberately quirky but the new version is going…[Read more]
-
I remember those days, Dreamweaver introduced “layers” which were a precursor to divs, and to be blunt, an absolute nightmare!
I have to disagree with the mass produced bit – I find that’s due to people using templates, as opposed to the fault of the technology, but not everyone is willing to put the time and effort in to hand coding, which I…[Read more]

Thanks Richard, yes, the pub section is being updated, got to get the priorities right! It’s not too bad to update because there’s only about 60 pubs in a one mile radius of Stourbridge and they don’t change that often, the real pain is the town centre shops section, hundreds of them and they do change as you know. You quite rightly mention…[Read more]

Looks simple enough to me – I’ll just have a quick go at it:
10 minutes laterThat example didn’t work fantastically, I semi wrote my own using the same technique, you can find an example here – feel free to steal the code:

I feel guilty now for asking! Many thanks Richard, just looked at the code, that’s what goes in the html page but what about the code within the Flash movie itself? For example, on the pub guide there will be 60 buttons, one for each pub, surely there needs to be code to launch the Lightbox window when the visitor clicks on one, like the one in…[Read more]

Email me at richard AT barringtonmedia.co.uk – but the code in flash is this:
getURL(”javascript:callFancy(’linktopage.html’);”);
It’s important to get the HTML right else the pop up won’t work – though I normally wouldn’t embed a flash file like that (I always use SWFObject).
-
And of course your need a JS file with the following:
function callFancy(my_href) {
var j1 = document.getElementById(“hiddenclicker”);
j1.href = my_href;
$(‘#hiddenclicker’).trigger(‘click’);
}$(document).ready(function(){
$(“a.overlay-flash”).fancybox({
‘width’ : ’75%’,
‘height’ : ’75%’,
‘autoScale’ :…[Read more]

October 10, 2010 by tidystourbridgeIt’s now too dark to litter pick in the evening, so weekends have taken over. After a massive hoard of bags in Mary Stevens Park a fortnight ago, could we do better if we set out from the Bonded Warehouse?

On Sunday 24th October our regular pickers took on the bottles and tape of King George V park in Wordsley. Bottles and tape? Yes, bottles and tape – you see, it seems that footballers use tape to hold up their socks, and drink sports drinks at half and full time, before…[Read more] -

I could really do with some help with my site, I need to improve the conversion rate from traffic arriving at the site. Really struggling with Dreamweaver as I am not a pro by any measure, have a look and let me know what you think: http://www.thecleancarcompany.com
Will have a look and email you tomorrow!
