Re: [help] Coding help
I'm not using frames.
Do you have an example? |

| It looks like the host at name.com that answers to bclphoto.com is rendering the content from your comcast.net space in a frame.
If you have hosting space with them, you should move your content there. If not, you should get hosting space somewhere. ISP user space is notoriously unreliable.

| Do you know of any good hosting sites?
And if I do that, pages will refresh correctly, right?
Now, there's just the caching part. I found this code before:
meta name="robots" content="noarchive" /
meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-store" /
(I took out the so it will show here), will that work with css?

| There are gazillions of hosting companies. I do hosting as a sideline as well. You need to make some decisions about what the content will be, what other features you want now and going forward/what you envision the site being in the future, whether you want to do the work/updating yourself or have someone else do it for you, and a budget for it.
Why do you want the cache to clear? Those meta tags are counter-productive for search engines. The less material on a site, the less likely it will appear anywhere within the first hundred results unless someone enters a keyword specific to a site.
If you're wanting to make it hard for others to snatch your photos, a better solution is to create watermarked, reduced-resolution images for public display. The high-resolution stuff you put in an area only people you designate can get to. Otherwise, even if you clear the cache, a knowledgeable person can still get them from the browser's buffer or brute-force copy them directly from the screen.

| The site won't be much bigger than it is now and I don't really need any other features - at least for the foreseeable future. No blogs, no chatting, nothing like that. Ever.
The caching isn't about the photos, it's so people will see the most current version since it's still a work in progress.
I'll be mastering it myself  I may not know everything about coding, but I know what I like and it's much easier to just do it myself than pay someone to get it wrong.

| If you're running Windows, I suggest downloading Visual Web Developer Express (free from Microsoft). It has a lot more features than you'll probably use, but as far as editing HTML and CSS, it's great for a novice. It has Intellisense, which plays along with you and suggests keyword and value choices. It also has decent (not stellar) help. You can also preview what you're doing, so you pretty much know what will come out the other side.

| Ok, finally had the time to download the MS software you suggested but didn't install it. Not only do I apparently need nine other downloads from MS but it wanted to split the install on to my C and M drives. What stopped me was that my M drive is for movies only and I had no option to change that location.

3 edits | I use the Professional version of Visual Studio, so I can't look into the issue you're having with splitting across drives. In Pro, though, setup looks at your physical volumes and offers to split it if you don't less than a certain amount of space on C:. AFAIK, there should be an option to click on its recommendation and override it. (I know capability was available in the 2005 versions and I simply can't imagine it being removed.) Short of that, temporarily disconnect any drives you don't want seen and run setup again. However, you must have the amount of space on the target drive called for in the setup instructions...the only reason I can think of it being disabled is you don't have enough on C:
If there are other MS files it's calling out, it probably means you either don't use automatic updates or aren't using Microsoft Update (versus base level Windows Update that only looks for OS components), or that you haven't checked for optional components for a while.

| It wants:
Visual C++
.Net Framework 3.5
SDK Tools
Web Authoring Component
SQL Publishing Wizard
SQL Server CLR Types
Shared Management Options
And there's no option to change the drives (I've got 7GB free on my C drive, plenty of room). Disconnecting the media drives is a hassle so this install will have to wait until later
