Topic awaiting preservation: slicing question (Page 1 of 1)

Okay, so, I sliced everything and i have put it on my website, the only problem is that when i click one of my links (me you web home) instead of opening up in the white box, it opens up in a new window. I have tried to do different approaches, but it just wont work. Any one willing to help?

You can view source it to see what i'm doing wrong.

Asuming you know html... Well, you linked the menu items to external files. The target parameter it's set to aeroplane_3. You need a frame or an iframe in your layout called aeroplane_03 to display content when you click the menu items. You cannot replace an image called aeroplane_3 with another html document just by pointing a target parameter in a link to it.
So read up on html basically and on frames/iframes in particular. What you need there is an iframe instead of the big white image.


Curiously yours, crip

Hello, and welcome in the Asylum.

Remove the target attributes in your links, or create an IFRAME having for id the name that you put in the target attributes. Oh and since you're in the HTML markup, get rid of all those bloated tables, and write some XHTML+CSS.

ps: This thread should be moved in Stupid Basic HTML

This is not in any way shpae or form a Photoshop question, nor is it a "slicing" question.

It is an HTML question.

Crip gave you about all the answer that is necessary in that regard, and the only thing I can add is to reiterate that you simply *must* learn the basics of HTML before you attempt such things.

You have to understand that what you've done in this case is akin to trying to change your car tire by picking up the tire iron and saying "change the tire", and then asking the store that sold you the tire iron why it didn't work...

I mean no offense by that, but hope it gives you an indication of where your problem lies.

there's really no good way to get around learning how to code HTML if you want to make a website that is any good...

Yes, start by making simple html layouts, tables or css, whatever you think fits you for now, play around, don't jump right in. For later XHTML/CSS might be a better way to do things. But you're already asking yourself what the hell those are

PS. And yes, welcome. Stick around, there are some awsome people around here.
