 Posted: Fri Oct 22, 2004 12:53 pm Post subject: [Fixed]php SSI for fixed page_header |
| |
Hello All,
I'm developing a .php site (that parses template .tpl files to display content).
I have a MainBody.php that 'includes' a PageHeader.php.
When I scroll in my browser, everything scrolls MainBody+PageHeader.
I want to make my page_header stay fixed at the top of the browser page, while only the mainbody scrolls.
I could achieve what I want using frames, but that will cause metatag/search engine/web spider problems..... So...
I have been told that I could use SSI (Server Side Includes) if my webhost supports it...
someone suggested using 'PHP SSI Coding' and have a MainBody.php that contains:
| Code: | //MainBody//
<?php
include ("/PageHeader.php");
?> |
...but i still don't understand how to achieve a fixed header & scrolling mainbody..
My questions are:
Does NetHosted support PHP SSI?
and
do you think this method will let me have a fixed PageHeader with a scrolling MainBody?
I know this is a bit of a difficult one, I just wanted some advice to make sure I wasn't chasing the impossible.
This is the only real reference I could find: http://www.tamingthebeast.net/articles/framesnoframes.htm 
Thanks,
Carlos

Sure we support SSI, I suggest you use CSS to achieve what you want though it's very simple!

Can you point me to any examples of a fixed header, with scrolling mainbody?
I haven't got a clue about CSS
Thanks

Andrew - no rush at all, I can wait - This is not a life threatening situation, thankfully.. It only keeps me awake at night  lol. Carlos
I just found 1 example that says it works in Mozilla & IE..
but it doesn't scroll all the way to the bottom of the page in IE (something to do with Quirks Mode and doctypes)
http://webpages.charter.net/mmmbeer/code/css/layouts/fixed/
So nearly there, but not quite. |

As andrew said, the only way you'll be able to do it is either using frames (yuck yuck yuck), or iframes (even yucker), or CSS.
I dont know who told you to use Server side stuff, but it's impossible to get server side stuff to affect the way the user agent controls the page.
Andrews example will be the best option for you. The only problem with using overflowing divs is that you cant use the mousewheel to scroll down (if i remember correctly). (well, it's the case in either mozilla or IE).
