I found an image that I can use as a logo placeholder, and have changed the colours to match my hex codes. Now my site has something resembling a masthead. CSS and I are becoming better friends.
I've inserted the HTML code for the masthead and menus into small PHP files, which I include in the relevant files. It's basic functionality that makes the site easier to maintain, because I only need to make changes in one place - rather than across the whole site.
One thing I'm really struggling with is trying to get my active links to come up in the right colour. I've got them all in the right order (W3Schools says to put them in this order - link, visited, hover, active), but it's still not working. It's not a show stopper - but would be nice, because it gives the user an idea of which page they are on.
I am also looking for some code for breadcrumbs, but so far haven't come across anything. I will keep looking.
The basic functionality of the site is pretty much finished. I arranged hosting and purchased the domain name today, so will also plan to move the site off the UTS server. I'm also going to start writing the system documentation, leaving next week free to add extra functionality, if I have time.
Hi Tammy,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like it is all coming across nicely.
Dont know if this of any use to you but smashingmag has a article on breadcrumbs not so much coding but styles. But it may point you in the right direction.
You may just need to goog smashing mag breadcrumbs as i coulnt see to paste a link in the comment box.

Thanks Jake. I will take a look on smashingmag. I had thought about adding the breadcrumbs manually. The website content is mostly static - and there's not too many pages, so should be manageable.
ReplyDeleteKai - No worries! Hope you find a way to make it work on your site.
