    Center Align - Javascript

    tweaked_eye Community Member
      My apologies in advance as I am dreamweaver noob. Been doing my sites in NetObjects Fusion for about 10 years. If you look at one of my NOF sites, Glacier Craft the client liked have the javascript date on the left and the sunset script on the right. In NOF I just create a layout region, insert the code and the layout region stays put even with center alignment of the site overall.

      1) How would I insert a Javascript in a specific location (not just left, center or right aligned to a table cell)?
      2) If the site is center aligned, how do I keep this code positioned in the same place?

      Thanks in advance!

          Welcome to Dreamweaver.

          For starters, Line #1 must contain the Document Type Declaration. It cannot
          be on Line #2 as you have it.

          Line #1 contains your favicon info. This doesn't belong here. This needs
          to be moved down below your meta tags but before the </head> tag.

          If you are rebuilding the NOF site pretty much as it is now in DW, don't use
          layers. Use nested tables (basically tables inside a bigger table). Place
          all content inside table cells. You probably are not accustomed to doing
          this in NOF but that's what NOF does for you behind the scenes. If you are
          skilled with CSS-P, use divs instead of tables. But if you're new to DW,
          you'll probably be more comfortable working with tables for now.

          Get used to working in both design and code view. You cannot build good
          sites in Design view alone.

          I don't like all that JavaScript code in your html page. IMHO It should be
          cut from your page and placed in external js files.

          The proper syntax for calling JavaScript is this:

          <script type="text/javascript"
          language="JavaScript"
          src=" http://yoursite.com/scripts/your_javascript_file.js">
          </script>

          <script type="text/javascript"
          language="JavaScript"
          src=" http://yoursite.com/scripts/your_other_ javascript_file.js">
          </script>

          Good luck on your project,
          Nancy O.
