JS Scroller

8dayssooner · 10-28-2005

hi, ive been trying to add a javascript scroller to my iframe on my homepage at
http://www.8dayssooner.co.uk

it should be working like this
http://www.8dayssooner.co.uk/mark3b/DivScroller.htm

but currently looks like this.
http://www.8dayssooner.co.uk/mark3b/

i want to keep the same visual style and positioning as my homepage at the moment, but just with the new scroll bar.
i was just wondering if you could look at my source code and tell me where im going wrong/how to fix this. this is my first time really playing with javascript so im not too sure on what needs changing etc.
so far ive been playing with the div layers moving them around seeing if that works, but no hope yet.
i need an area like an iframe (if it isnt possible to scroll the actual iframe) where i can load my other 2 pages into, when they're clicked aswell.
currently they are loading into "content" which is the name of my
iframe.
any ideas?

cheers
Mike

yeah that is where i got the scrollbar from to start with, and customised the images.

http://www.8dayssooner.co.uk/mark3b/...&css=style.css

right, ive got the scrollbar working, but how can i set it so that when visitors goto www.8dayssooner.co.uk
it automatically goes to index.php?pagename=portfolio8ds.html&css=style.css
?

thanks
Mike

index.php:

Code:

<?php if(!$_GET["pagename"]&&!$_GET["css"]) header("Location: index.php?pagename=portfolio8ds.html&css=style.css"); ?>

<!-- the rest of your page goes here -->

therefore if someone went to your domain, index.php would register both those variables as unset, and would redirect to that url.

cheers scrowler

i found a different way to do this though using the .htaccess file
thanks for the help guys, more than another forum gave me!

yeah, .htaccess code is often a better substitute because it means you don't have to alter any of your other pages.

for future reference here is how to do this with .htaccess: (put this in your .htaccess file in the main folder)

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule index.php$ index.php?pagename=portfolio8ds.html&css=style.css

hey, i jsut tried that, and it loaded up my main page, but no other pages would load into the middle,
im currently using

Code:

DirectoryIndex index.php?pagename=portfolio8ds.html&css=style.css
