First, thank you for your patience and please forgive the lengthy blurb. This is a bit complicated, but I am sure there is a fix.
My website is heavily CSS structured for layout and styles for its Side-bar, heading, menu, etc. A modified CSS is used for the content and the content section is now an Iframe where all content is targeted. This was done to prevent duplication of parent. I am using GOOGLE site-map generator for the web and FreeFind for my site. Site consists of hundreds of HTML each consisting of an Image linked to a bigger image, Content, PayPal Links and other content all created with Excel for the code, Nvu for the file-saves and HTMLToolkit for the previews and error checking. When someone clicks an image anywhere on the site, it opens the HTML associated with it giving all the information about the Image. By the way, they are all table-based pages; DUMB, I know. The Problem: All these pages require updates or deletions depending on stock and pricing for any given item and frequent crawler checks for broken links afterwards. My site Spiders at roughly 500 pages and it keeps growing and getting out of hand. HELLLLLP!!!! On a more personal note; the author of the website (that’s me) is loosing his vision and can no-longer keep-up with this maddening effort… Proposed solution: I believe that enclosing all images and their associated content in DIVS is the better way to go. The idea is to have all images along with its content on one HTML. There are different categories that would use their own pages but the goal is to remove those hundreds of HTML pages and replace them with maybe a couple of dozen Category pages instead. There are as few as 1 or 2 items to as many as 100 items for any given category that would be shown 1-at-a-time using PREV - NEXT links. What I would like to accomplish is;
Whew!!! I told you it was complicated. Any assistance on setting this up (show 1 and hide the rest) is greatly appreciated. CHEERS This post has been edited by Baffled in Baltimore: Jan 9 2009, 05:56 PM |

There are JavaScript techniques for hiding some of the content on a page.
However, I think it's better to use a database-backed system to generate different content at different URLs, rather than to have a single URL with multiple views depending on what JavaScript is doing. |

QUOTE However, I think it's better to use a database-backed system to generate different content at different URLs, rather than to have a single URL with multiple views depending on what JavaScript is doing. Greetings Darin: I finally moved my Domain to the startlogic server; (About time!) but there was little time for the tedious task of transferring everything over from that freewebs thing. There are many missing files I have yet to re-create and I am hoping there is a better way of page generation than the sloppy methods previously used. (I didn't know any better). I now have server-side functionality including MYSQL, PHP and many other server-side scripts but I don't know how to use them well-enough to make any of it work. My vision continues to degrade so it is very difficult (and painful) to do much reading. Could you Please elaborate on how I can use this, or some other method to generate Dynamic content or pages. If data-base driven is the way to go, setting-up a few data fields might be a place to start. I don't know; you decide. How do I tackle this mess? Thank you for your time. |
