Steve,
What we are hoping to accomplish on this thread is to find numerous errors
in Legacy's Pedigree-style webpage output, the worst of those being that a
left border cannot be added except at the unacceptable cost of causing the
webpage to disintegrate. Legacy's other webpage formats do not appear to
have this problem.
From long experience, it seems that using frames for genealogy websites
creates real headaches for www viewers who try to capture data for their own
family history.
Regardless, we're trying here to find solutions to the various glitches in
Legacy's html code for their Pedigree webpage, making them viable for
whatever "usual" editing we might do with such afterward. Frames have
nothing to do with the solutions we seek.
That said, we can use all the help we can get within these parameters, and
you have obvious useful knowledge and talents! For this purpose I've set up
a temorary website at http://zelltree.tripod.com, and here at home I have
been working very long days trying to ID the glitches and create useful
corrections and alternatives. This is a "working test website", so progress
will be uploaded as appropriate.
We could sure use your help in this area!
Thanks
RonKZ

Hi Ron,
I think if you take your FOOTER code and place in the include custom
footer
section of the web page creation dialog, your problem would be resolved
and
you could save yourself about an hour 8*).
====
<table width=100%>
<tr>
<td>
**** Insert your HEADER code here ****
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<iframe width=100% height=1024 src="Legacy Generated Index Page">
</iframe>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
=====
Actually, you can probably put your HEADER code in the custom header field
and eliminate the need for any editing, no need for iframe at all.

Hi Steve,
Many thanks for the suggestion.
Overcoming my innate reluctance to use frames, I had a play with the
iframe
tag last night and would say firstly that it does work as you suggest. For
me, however, it was not really acceptable.
If you have looked at my site, at the bottom of the page is a solid bar
which is linked to the header ie. a continuation of the same table. If I
included this footer inside the iframe then one has the same problem with
the Legacy code as before (and some others). Logically it should be taken
out and included in your code after the iframe section. This works fine
but
necessitates two vertical tool bars - the outside one can be eliminated
but
this leaves a very small viewing area. So all in all I prefer not to go
down
this route.
Making the 3 changes to the Legacy code plus a couple of my of my own
choice takes me about one hour per 150 pages so I guess I will stick with
that for as long as I have to.
I did, however, enjoy playing around with your suggestion, so thanks
again.
Ron Ferguson
