The .xml file is in same directory as the site index. What needs correcting? Thanks

Anyone come across sites offering Export Templates for Microsoft Deep Zoom using Expression Blend? If not, do you have any advice on trying to export decent designs with Deep Zoom if new to it (And Expression & programming in general...)?

I am looking to make this site work with IE like it works with Firefox: http://www.semiotically.com/ Javascript file: http://www.semiotically.com/ascroll.js Tbh the site works as I currently want it to with Firefox, Chrome & Opera (excluding the text anchors I am aware to) & I was just hopeful there was quick tweak to make IE do so to - in relation only to the horizontal scrolling, I am not dealing with content quite yet..? Thanks, hopefully someone can use their previous IE knowledge with quick response, Sem.

did you clear the cache/ clear recent history when you test online? You know the pragma, cache, expire settings etc so when you visit you receive the updated code each time not just the cached version from past..?

really on loading? or anything specific? I'm getting close to starting work to validating site so now's the time to vent!

lucky you

hi another implementation. 1. Am using this script: <script language=javascript>function loadsource() { var defaultPage = "tweets.html"; var query = window.location.search.substring(1); var pos = query.indexOf('='); if (pos > 0) { var frameSource = query.substring(pos+1); window.frames["righthere"].location = frameSource; } else { window.frames["righthere"].location = defaultPage; } } </script> with this code: <body onLoad="loadsource()"> This scipt allows me to load external content into IFrames (within index.html), try if you wish: http://www.semiotically.com/index.html?fs=cv.pdf THE ISSUE: When using <body onLoad="loadsource()"> it intereferes with the scrolling script, and although still works you have to manually click start scrolling button. So how can I alter this little snippet to achieve same effect though with the scrolling still active straightaway?

this works... <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.semiotically.com/ascroll.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" > function init (){ document .getElementById ('hmenu').onmousemove=autoscroll; } window.onload = init; </script> <script> // function to start animation of sort on mouse over function start() { document.getElementById('hmenu').onmousemove = autoscroll; } // function to stop the move over event function stop() { document.getElementById('hmenu').onmousemove = null; } // initialize on page load window.onload = init; </script> </head> <body> <h1 id="hmenu" style="color:red;"></h1> <input type="button" value="StartScroll" onclick="start()" /> <input type="button" value="StopScroll" onclick="stop()" /> now working... </body>

I tried (at least as far as I can imagine it might implement successfully) so please!!! I have this in script in head: <script> // function to start animation of sort on mouse over function start() { document.getElementById('hmenu').onmouseover = autoscroll(e); } // function to stop the move over event function stop() { document.getElementById('hmenu').onmouseover = null; } // initialize on page load window.onload = init; </script> And this code at very end of <body> <h1 id="hmenu" style="color:red;"></h1> <input type="button" value="StartScroll" onclick="start()" /> <input type="button" value="StopScroll" onclick="stop()" /> I can see the way the buttons are not going to activate the script just I don't know the way to do this..?

I've calmed it down a little... If you know how to achieve the following you may be able to tame it I noticed something at the same time: If I can remove the gaps between the IFrames (that contain the pdf's, guestbooks, movies etc), then the only area that could cause scrolling would be thin pale green area, the secondary goal I was looking for (so taking out 2 birds with 1 stone)... I'm such an amateur I've added so much miscellaneous CSS to try and remove these pixels it's surreal... so how can I do this? You may also notice the buttons (the 1st goal: the original on/off/ effect). If anyone knows how to target the scrolling from these please post script... again I've tried various "hmenu.onclick="wtf!" so if you mean business please enlighten this rookie. Sorry for delay in replies I enabled 'instant notification' I'm sure?!? I will just check website regularly in future. Thanks again.

jack I'm note sure what this would implement? what would be the outcome?

A friend modified a code to make a scrollable horizontal menu, that I use as the basis for my site: The code can be found here: http://www.semiotically.com/ascroll.js'>http://www.semiotically.com/ascroll.js The site is http://www.semiotically.com I really enjoy the fun aspect of the scrolling, I would now like to add a button underneath that on clicking will stop the JS code, so users can browse without the speedy scrolling, and once they want to rescroll again: to be able to click this button again to turn it back on... How do I make this button that targets the pre-existing javascript with on/off/on/off affect? Thanks guys.

I have website that currently loads several IFrames and this hurts the loading times. What I want to be able to do is to use <object> tag to display an image to begin with and then later, if the user so wishes, to be able to convert this same <object> to display external HTML page if user clicks a link. This will really improve load times... PLEASE POST REPLY, thanks in advance. // <object classid="clsid:25336920-03F9-11CF-8FD0-00AA00686F13" type="text/html" data="http://www.google.com" style="width: 1000px; height: 600px;"></object> This the standard code for using <objects> to display html; so to convert IMG to HTML would need to target the objects' "type" in addition. //

Hi the file is: ascroll.js It's pretty much a CPU issue the scrolling, I've tested on various family machines and the result correlates to this. I will create Images that link to the Iframes, instead of keeping them open continuously (some will remain). I might consider slowing the scrolling too once I've finished the other. I will amiss the background images as I prefer the functionality. I downloaded Safari and it works like Opera, Firefox and IE, so maybe it was still loading the JS. I've taken a lot of stick on the use of Iframes, it seems there is also support: - http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/605736.html - http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18597 It's still ongoing so I'm not concerned yet with the parsing as long as I can still get results I am looking for across the browsers I am testing for. Thanks guys.

Hi the scrolling is too fast I know! hehe It's for my grandad who's new to computers and mice, just kidding... OK seriously have posted a link to comparison with 'background-images', you won't miss it: http://www.semiotically.com/ Thank you guys, Sem.

Hi I downloaded a JS code, ascroll.js, for a Horizontal Scrollbar, myself new to JS. It works really well offline with both 'background-color' and 'background-image' settings defined. Yet Online it works well with 'background-color' and very jagged/ rough with 'background-image'. I utilise a repeating background, I have stretched to great widths, reduced it to tiny filesize ~15kb, to no avail, can someone please explain why it affects the JS Scrollbar when the image is called from ther server? Then perhaps implement a workaround... The site is http://www.semiotically.com/ I have removed the background-image from the Scrollbar for the moment. Thanks, Sem.

Awesome, I would like the second option please! Sounds so simple I've never practised it before: so you can 'reveal' hidden DIVs by clicking some code/script? Can you give an example.? I'm really pleased... I'm equally as caught up in the 'avoid frames/tables sentiments' I am desparate for an alternative...>> Yes for clarity the data is static, well external webpages so the address is static, their content dynamic. Is it still viable then? [...just updated my subscription to instant email notifications]

what are the 'standards' alternatives nowadays? can you give example?

Hi and thanks for reading. My website is http://www.semiotically.com/ There are 3 frames: 2 within the index file and another on separate page. I want the latter one to be able to load separate content within the former 2 by users clicking single link etc. At the right-hand side of the page is a 'menu' with: environment; possessions; perspectives; hair. When clicked they load images in an external IFrame page just right of the menu. These individual images once clicked load pages (sometimes my own/ mostly external) within the main centre frame (typically there are a couple of exceptions that load new tabs). Please try this if you wish to be sure. So at the moment the third frame loads content solely in the 1st frame of the index page and not in the 2nd additional (small) frame underneath. I need to create a javascript that as well as opening the main centre frame, also can affect the IFrame directly beneath the centre frame: i.e. affect 2 frames simultaneously. At the moment this is causing diffulties as the side-menu loads separate IFrame pages to the index meaning Framesets are currently inviable. I could contain images in individual frames that all are contained within the index page (like other 2 frames) allowing use of Framesets, though this would entail many frames and perhaps a more elegant code is available for the current setup. I think this might be quite simple to answer once readers understand the issue at hand, so please request additional info if you think it can help, I'll respond quick as lightning Thank you, Sem White.

If unsure please question me, I think once people see the site the issue is quite easily visualised: interacting the 3 frames. Please respond if available, you will have my undivided attention, thank you.

I was just pwned... by my own thread... You have to help before you do this!!

Hey everyone, my website is semiotically.com, and yes it's a personal site I have time to dedicate to this issue now so hopefully can fulfill this. There are 2 issues. 1. At the right-hand side of the page is an 'menu' with environment; possessions; perspectives; hair. When clicked they load images in an external IFrame page just right of the menu. These individual images once clicked load pages (sometimes my own/ mostly external) within the main centre frame (typically there are a couple of exceptions that load new tabs). Please try this if you wish to be sure. I need to create a javascript that as well as opening the main centre frame also can affect the IFrame directly beneath the centre frame: i.e. affect 2 frames simultaneously. At the moment this is causing diffulties as the side-menu loads separate Iframe pages from the index meaning Framesets are currently inviable. I could contain images in individual frames that all are contained within the index page (like other 2 frames) allowing use of Framesets though this would entail many frames and perhaps a more elegant code is available for the current setup. 2. Once this is set-up I will try codes to resize the Centre Iframe to full window, i.e. reload the Iframe to full-screen if the user wishes to enlarge the centre Iframe (and can then navigate back using the 'back' in browsers)/ alternatively just open the IFrame in new tab, by use of the Frame beneath the Centre Frame. This part will be quite easy I think once Part 1 is in place. Please let me know how I can navigate Part 1. Thanks in advance, Sem.

thanks for the reminder: "On point one, you want to be able to make ajax requests to load external content in with out a page refresh?" this sounds familiar and It would work... whether the simplest I'll let everyone and anyone judge... thanks will try and piece this together with jquery...
