I am having two problems with the web site I am doing. When the page finishes
loading at the bottom it says, Done but with errors. Also no matter what I do
I can not get my graphics or photos to "Center" on the pages. Left, right,
but never center. Can someone help me with these problems?

Double click on the yellow error button and you'll get a hint at what's
causing the javascript errors.

Why are you using frames? Your site doesn't need frames and it may be
contributing to your menu errors.
 
Frameset is there to mask the real URL at

You are getting that error anytime you have your mouse over the page. This
is caused by the onMouseMove event applied to the body tag, and the
subsequent javascript functions that process that mouse move. You are
getting the error because you have so profoundly hacked that menu system,
that it can no longer function as intended. If you want to read the details
of that menu, go here -

This page layout is called HALO, and it's distributed with Macromedia's
Dreamweaver as a sample layout. It's intended to demonstrate advanced
methods in CSS and javascript. In fact it's a dog (pun intended). The menu
system is awkward and flawed. The layout is too advanced (with CSS) for the
casual user to easily adapt. I don't recommend that you use it.
 
Thank you Murry for your help,

The software Dreamweaver is not on my computer, but a friend of mine helped
me get the web site started and created the top design for me. From that
point he emailed the information and I then opened it in Frontpage to
complete the web pages. I was going to download the "Try it" from your web
link but with my very slow connection it says it will take over 9 hours to
download. I guess I'll have to ignore the error on the page at this time.

Have any ideas on how I can get the graphics to center or is that also
caused from the Dreamweaver software?

Thanks again for your help. :)

I assume you want to center the line-up of puppies above the names of
the staff members on the Staff page. (Being irreverent, I'd have to
resist the temptation to include a caption saying, "left to right...")

And, at a guess, you'll be wanting to introduce an element of control
into the ghastly shambles in the lower half of the Events page. :)

No worries.

If you use tables (set the borders to "0") you will be able to
position the pictures where you want them, and you will be able to
control where the accompanying text will appear.

Play around with tables and the various alignment properties of tables
and cells and you will be amazed at how simple it is to position items
on the page. You will wonder how you ever managed without them. :)

The fact that it's a Dreamweaver template has nothing to do with anything.
What is the problem is the way you (or your friend) have hacked (and broken)
the code. And you can ignore the problem if you want but your visitors
won't be able to. It's a fatal one for me. I can't move the mouse at all
without getting an alert window.

Downloading the DW trial wouldn't help you with this page - what will help
you is some understanding of HTML and CSS, I'm sorry to say.

I'm afraid that you are in deep water with this page. Ask your friend to
help you bail out....

That said, a Firefox user would find nothing wrong with the operation
of the page (presumably the menu bar). True, the menu needs attention
but it's hardly terminal. It still works, albeit with errors.

So - what percent of the site's potential audience is going to be using FF?
It would be a fair guess (I think) that something like 10% or less would
fall into that category. IE users that happen to have js error messages
turned on are dead in the water, since it's not possible to move the mouse
over the page without triggering an error message.

But let's not quibble.

Change this -

<body onmousemove="closesubnav(event);">

to this -

<body>

and you're golden.

I'm working on it. Two more users converted this week. :)

Are error messages turned on by default in IE? I found that the page
worked as expected, although there was a very busy warning in the
status bar. No unwanted error messages unless I clicked on the yellow
icon.
But let's not quibble.

Fair enough. :)

Sorted?

Dear Fido and Murray:

I appreciate both of you and your help so very much!!! I also love seeing
you two banter over me. Makes me feel like a young girl with two boys
fighting for my attention. LOL

I understood some of what both of you told me...confused in some ways too.
But I have been working on the site today and I removed all the Java Script
and the move mouse information from the HTML and I think the errors are all
gone. I still cannot get my graphics to center.....but I will work on that
again anther day soon. Right now my rear end is numb from sitting so long
working on this site. :)

Again I thank you both so much and appreciate your help immensely!

If you have any more ideas on how I can make this site better please share.
I am very proud of our school and what we do there.

Dee / TendrHart

P.S. Fido....I love your name and it was fitting you should help me with my
dog site. ;) http://cantonallbreed.com/
