Hello! I'm new here. I use Dreamweaver CS4, split between code and design view, to create my pages. I'm fairly well versed in HTML and CSS. I'm trying to create a download page with several options that lead you to other options that you can download. This page is pretty much exactly what I mean: commtech-fastcom(dot)com(slash)CommtechSoftware(dot)html. Sorry about the weird URL, since I'm new, I can't post links yet I realize that it's done in Javascript, but how would I go about implementing that into my page? And would it be better to use a CSS solution? Thanks in advance!
to be frank, the problem requires use of javascript (or a javascript framework). You can get somebody to do it... Also, you can make some efforts and get this working using SSI (explained further). That will give you full control over your site. If you use simple html - create a number of pages first of all the master categories page downloads.html --------------- click here to download books toys watches cosmetics . . . then the sublevel categories page download-books.html -------------------- click here to download superman series spiderman series he-man series shakespearean works . . . . then further final dowload links page download-books-superman.html -------------------- click here to download superman & his allies end of the world entire kira-jira series superman and the underworld superman and a gadgetman . . . . next step you can get your work easier by using server-side includes (shtml) in an shtml, what you essentially do is split your page into common parts and save each part as a different file. then assemble each file in your shtml. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/ssi.html#includingastandardfooter essentially the command <!--#include virtual="/footer.html" --> HTML: This was a deviation from what you had asked for, but what you had asked for involves some javascript, infact using a javascript framework like jQuery or Mootools. PM me for further assisstance / service. [ps] you can still post url's that are easy to copy-paste-navigate..
on second thoughts, this solution might work for you too... http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1845663
