Hello,

I just purchased the HTML Editor and I have a couple
of questions on how to use it.

I realize it is Sunday, and I am hoping to find someone
who is working on their computer today who would be
willing to help me with my questions. Otherwise, I will
need to wait until Monday, and ask the people in tech
support.

I am using the included template theme Trapper Keeper,
and I am looking for someone to help me add another
web page called Videos along with a corresponding
navigation Menu Tab called Videos. I would also like
to know how to make the look and feel of the new page
be the same as the About Us page.

I also need some help turning on the Send Us An Email
web form.

Those are the most important items I have on today's
agenda. I believe I can figure out the rest of my
questions myself.


After you answer those two questions, I also have
another question, when you are feeling particularly
patient; maybe that is not today.

I would like someone to explain to me the
relationship between the actual graphics on the
index page and this part of the index page coding

<li id="find"><a href="#">We Help Potential Clients Find You.</A></li>
<li id="seo_reports"><a href="#">We Provide Monthly SEO Reports.</A></li>
<li id="security"><A href="#">Feel Secure With Our Fail-Safe System.</A></li>

What is this id called "find" and where is it located,
and how does it call the correct graphic to appear on
the page?

I know HTML pretty well, but I don't know css or java,
and this website has both. But I am very technical
and if you could explain the above relationships to
me, I would be able to pick it up without too much
trouble.

Here is my data

1. URL to your Website (THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ITEM)
http://edwardjerome.com although I am deleting and starting
over as many times as I need to to get this thing fixed, so you
may not find the website "live" when you get there. Keep trying.

2. Operating system
Windows XP

3. Version of the application
Downloaded today 2009 build 305

4. Trial or registered version
Purchased today

5. What specific steps have you taken to create this issue?
Read the faq pdf and checked the forum; still lost

6. Does it occur every time?
Yes

7. Can you recreate the issue on another computer?
No cannot create it at all.

Hello Edward and welcome to CC forums.

To make a page be like another page, the easiest way is just to open the page you want it to be like, then do a "Save As.." with the name of the new page you want to create. Then just change your content as you see fit to accommodate the new page. That should take care of that question.

To create a new menu tab you should be able to just add a new <li></li> line to your navigation menu on your page and it "should" automatically set up the tab for you as it's tied to the CSS coding for the menu itself.

The 'find', 'seo_reports', and 'security' ID's are all part of your CSS setup. Those are basically a class setup in CSS that has all the graphics and text settings and positioning already setup so that if you want a different picture there you just change the graphic in there. Most of the HTML themes in the Editor have the CSS code at the top area of the page so you can see how it's setup. If you check the CSS you'll find a reference somewhere to each of those ID's and you should be able to see how that affects each line of that menu.

Hope that helps, and ask away if you have more questions, I should be around most of the day till supper time working on my site :)
