hello guys, first a want to thank you for your work, now i will aks a question. Why the templates hasn´t any frames. When i make a link, the user always had to load the hohle page, and this are about 700kb. If it have a frame, the user only had to load the changes part of the page. Sry for my english, but i´m from austria ^^..

I really like the color combinations. It's just me, but silver and blue are my favorites. I'm also using the template for a site, and I don't think it could be any better. Thanks!!

Used your templete for www.alphateq.net website. It is exactly the colors the customer wanted.
It was an easy templete for an advanced-beginner to use.

why cant I view the logo name in full, it only shows up as half the word, top half only. I am only learning about design so all assistance appreciated. thanks

Sorry guys. But it took me forever to find out what was wrong with the header text problem.
And apparently it needed to have padding instead of margins.
So replace the CSS code for the #header tag with this...
background: url(images/header.png) top center no-repeat;
width: 746px;
height: 66px;
margin: 0px 0px 10px 0px;
padding: 60px 0px 40px 20px;
color: white;
font-size: 50px;
text-align: ;
Again, sorry for the long wait.

This is a great design, I love blue and this was perfect. The only thing I saw a problem with is that the colors aren't right in IE6 lower. Since most users use IE6, this could pose a small problem.
Darth Exterus
The reason that the colors don't show up right in IE6 is because they are png images with transparency, and IE6 doesn't support it. You can get some Javascript code to fix it at my website (borrowed from some guy called Osola): PngFix.js
That should work. Just put a line of code at the bottom of your HTML file like this:
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="PngFix.js">
fixPng();
</script>
It needs to be at the bottom of the file so that all images are loaded before the script tries to fix them. If you have any questions, just let me know.
Darth Exterus
Oops, the link above didn't work.
The script is located at http://pdp.protopak.net/PngFix.js.
Darth Exterus
Hmmm... I just realized that the script doesn't work because the images are CSS background images. I would recommend converting the images to JPG or GIF, because they don't really need to be transparent other than the main background image. You could probably get away with converting that to a different format too, though...

This is a wonderful template. I have been scanning the site for a good template for my e-book that I have written: and is waiting to be put together. I agree with fLo's comment (1/30/07) concerning frames. I would like to be able to use frames within my e-books for easier navigations and menuing. Can you help me in the modification of this so that I can achieve this?

What is the logo.png file for? Did you have anything special planned for it? How should I incorporate my own logo?
Great design, btw.

What’s up with the images size in this template?
I loaded the images into Gimp and saved them back to the drive. This decreased the size ten times.
I made the compressed images available here:

The lower-letterhalf-covered problem is still there. I do like the design, so please try to solve it.
I tried jedignorks suggestion of replacing the header with:
background: url(images/header.png) top center no-repeat;
width: 746px;
height: 66px;
margin: 0px 0px 10px 0px;
padding: 60px 0px 40px 20px;
color: white;
font-size: 50px;
text-align: ;
But this scrambled the whole thing so that the menu buttons became centered while the menu text remained at the original place. The header text changed and got the same font size as the menu.
Mysterious - why do the letters become covered? Is there any bug in the header background image code? It might perhaps have to do with its shifting color darkness. I can imagine that the color code is constituted by two mirrored code sequences and the problem is perhaps in the junction between these two. The lower half of the image seems not to be recognized as background. I dont know enough about image coding but I would suggest you redo the header image and dont create it by mirroring, but make a sequential code without inserting anything that might change the identity of the lower image part.
jaan108
I tested the image coding error hypothesis by making a new simple header background image (header.png). It did not help but I noted an interesting thing - that the halving occurred at a different level of the header image. That is, the text was placed at a lower level with my new background, but it was halved at exactly the same level of the syllables. It struck me that the letter halving level was quite exactly where I had added pixels to the height of the image.
So perhaps the addition of pixels does something to the image code that makes the lower part of it not to be recognized as background?

SOLUTION
I found a simple solutin to the header problem. I simply replaced the header.png with an image where I entered the text. I entered the desired text and left the space for entering logo text empty.

Hey guys, I saw some questions regarding frames and I am not sure that any designers addressed it.
Just in case you are new to web design, frames cannot accurately be read by screen readers, which are used by people with vision problems . They also clutter up the code and cause long load times and other issues. And in the case of XHTML 1.0 Strict, they would invalidate the code. You should try to avoid them at all costs.
To DonGato63 congratulations on the ebook. I have a good deal of experience with securing and distributing ebooks. There are some very good software choices available. If you have any questions feel free to email me.
Cheers!

Has anyone figured out the header problem with this template yet, it seems to only happen in IE78, it is OK in IE6 and Firefox
Jeff

You are correct. It's very pretty but the header, the top words to not completely show on my browser, sorry. I have the latest version of IE and use Windows IP Pro on this computer and Vista on my laptop. Only the top half of the View Your Logo is showing. Please work on this some more. Thanks. Blue is my favorite color.

Need help on xhtml template - problems with IE
Postby thescreenplayservices on Sun Apr 19, 2009 1:24 pm

ubuntu // KompoZer for web design
**I'm a beginner/novice at web design, don't know html, just able to kind of figure things out using a template, so please explain any suggestions very thoroughly, or basically say exactly what to fix... fyi...I'm confused on "the fix" posts above on where to copy and paste that code to, or if it would even help my problems.
My page looks fine in Firefox and Opera, but a few problems in IE (I'm using ie4linux to check it):
1. The font for the text on the white background is not Times New Roman, and it looks really bad
2. There is a break/line in the light blue background on the bottom, and the copyright notice is not below the light blue box (more concerned about the break/line though)
3. There is gray showing up behind the line design right before the "hollywood" pic and above the "You only get one chance" text. The gray is also outside of the light blue box. And you can see a gray outlined border making a square around the site navigation buttons.
And how do I set it up so that only the white box changes text when you navigate to different pages in the website?
Any help to fix these things is much appreciated.

Great design, i love it!
If someone need text in the "bottom" part, just put this into your css document:
#bottom p
{
font: normal 8pt/13pt verdana, arial,sans-serif;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 235px;
}
And to get it work the html put this copyright 2009 © "your name"

This is a great template! I've already made a site out of it.
If I had the means and the money, i'd pay for this ;)
