Hi,

I am really new to all of this and I have started to make a web site doing a little at a time. I made the 1st page short and simple with Visual Site Designer and a template. Then I made a second page also short and simple. When I do a preview and test them they appear to work fine. After uploading to my web site and going to look at it for real over the internet the Home page and second page appear to be seamlessly stuck together in a wide panorama page with the home page to the left and blank half of page 2 on the right. I can not find a way for them to display normally.

Thanks for any help any one can offer.

Hi,
Can you provide a link to the site so we can have a look please? It's easier if we can view the code.

One suggestion would be to upload it again. Sometimes funny things happen if the upload gets interrupted for any reason.

Did you follow the help files as to how to make more pages, or work with templates? Often the template has 4 pages already created for you to work with, and you can open those pre-made pages to make changes to them before uploading.

Last thing, make sure to save your work before uploading and close your web browser and open it again if the changes don't show up. That should clear the cache and show you the new changes. Sometimes "refreshing" the page might not be enough.

Thanks for the reply!

The simple site is http://teds-place.net

Thanks for having a look!

Hi Ted,
What I would Have done was this.left the chips as the links. lol just change the text. and saved everything the top to hear.
<DIV ID="BACKGROUND" STYLE="position:relative; top:0px; left:0px; z-index:0;">
<TABLE WIDTH="800" HEIGHT="600" BACKGROUND="files/Page0_IMG_BCK.jpg" BGCOLOR="#000000" LINK="#007700" VLINK="#002200" BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0>
<TR>
<TD>
<br>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</DIV>
then below that remove the next 5 paragraphs if I was to change the links with the menu and leave <DIV class="Object90"> this alone as a reference.
Could remove the text with all the text next or replace it with whatever.
So I would try over and over til I had what i wanted. Cliff is right again there are four other pages already linked, so you can change your buttons to reflect that. hope all that makes sense , trial and error does help too!

Bruce,

Thanks for the info! The most important part of all of this is the code. Which, unfortunately, I understand VERY little about which is why I was hoping Visual Site Designer and a few other 'Cup' programs would get me started with web page building. I probably hit the upload button so many times and from more than one program that things may have gotten overlapped and jumbled a bit from all of that as well. I guess I will just put everything into VSD and make sure it all works from there and then upload it all from just that one program. Hopefully that will work. I will just delete everything from my site and start fresh and keep trying that way. My site has no real purpose other than a learning tool for me and a place to post vacation pics etc. for family and friends so if I have to keep deleting everything during trial and error period it will be no big problem.

Thanks again for all your efforts and suggestions!!
Ted

Ted, I had a look at your page. What you see is not really what you think.
Best way I can think to explain is this: The overlapping you see on the computer monitor on the Internet is not 2 pages mixed up. It is just one page, with an image. Because your monitor is bigger than the image, and the image is the background of your page, the image duplicates itself to fill the available space.
The Visual site Designer has settings that let you limit the height and width of your web page. It also has a feature to let you center the web page. Using those settings, you should be able to stop the background from "looping". If that does not work, maybe simply use the image on your page instead of setting it as the background. You can still place all your text and other graphics on top of your bigger image (that will look like a background). That should also stop it from "looping" in order to fill the screen.

What you have works, and is working in a very predictable way.

Thanks Cliff!!

I tried playing around adjusting the page sizes and so forth but that didn't work for me. Then I tried your image suggestion and that seemed to work quite well. I made the background a solid color and copied the color from the large green area of the picture. I then checked the centered box on the information tab and then overlaid the picture of the template on top of that and that seemed to take care of it!! VSD did warn of the large object (picture) and the page may load slowly so I guess there is a little trade off there. I deleted my website from the server and uploaded everything from scratch and it seems to work great now looking like it should. Yes you were right about my monitor. It is a large oblong flat panel and the page now looks as it should. Go have a look! I only fixed the home page however so I will need to figure out the easiest and quickest way to copy the homepage into any other additional pages I create and then alter the content in those. (Any suggestions?) I am by no means new to computers but I am the Village Idiot when it comes to HTML code which is why this point and shoot type program should work quite well for my needs. I truely struggled for 2 days trying to figure out why the pages looked 'stuck' together. Then I discovered this forum and the great people willing to take the time to try and help. Thanks much to all of you.
