Hello everyone
I'm new to the forum. I'm a graphic designer and want to totally rebuild my companies website using iWeb as opposed to using Dreamweaver and Flash. I've opened up iWeb and started to play around with it and was surprised and intrigued with it's capabilites. Of course, being a designer, I'm going to try to stretch and max out those capabilites as much as possible rather than just plug stuff into one of the templates.
Question No. 1:
The basic design of my web site will look like the attached. When a viewer clicks on one of my navigation links, such as LOGOTYPES, I want the page to pop up where the person clicks and moves the bottom horizontal scroll bar to slide the page from left to right to view the work samples. It the web page is 600 px tall and 4000 px wide, the navigation bar across the top will be on the far left side of the webpage and will scroll to the left as the scroll bar is moved to the right.
Is there a way in iWeb to make the navigation bar be static across the top and the art work samples scroll to the left under the stationary navigation bar so the links always remain in view?
An additional thought to consider before you answer is I will have many subcatagory links under my main navigation bar which will require me to have some sort of drop down link menus. I've read/watched the iWU tutorial about drop down link menus which sound like I will need to do a lot of recoding by hand each time I update the website. So, I may want to consider running all of my main navigation links with sublinks under them down the left side of the web page.If I use the same premise of the viewer scrolling the page left and right, how do I get the navigation links (either on top) or if on the left side of the page to where the art work scrolls underneath the static links on the left side?
Question No. 2:
Playing around in the inspector page layout tab, I can only get a web page to be a max of 4000 px wide. How can I get this to be, say, 8000 px wide, or 10,000 px wide for that matter. Can you do this by changing the code by hand?
Question No. 3:
Is there some sort of horizontal scroll bar that I can added at the bottom of the web page that also remains static as the super wide web page is scrolled from left or right instead of using the typical browser scroll bar that appears when the web page is larger than the viewers screen/resolution?
Sorry for so many questions, but i'm kind of excited that I'm finally tackling this long overdue project and the first two questions have stopped me cold from getting this thing going.
Thanks so much for any help!
Bruce
