Personnel Listing

Greetings,

I am working on a website for a non-profit, need to find a way to display a list of their personnel with details (name, classification, photo, etc.). I had been using I-frames for a similar listing but a Mac beta tester claimed that they did not appear at all for her in AOL.

What I would like is a listing on the side, preferably scrolling, with the details in a main window to the right of the list. Server supports sever-side scripting, although my knowledge of such coding is limited.

Any ideas?? Confused Thanks!

Have you checked out some of the gallery type scripts or do you need more information listed than photo, description, user ... ?

Althought iframes aren't ideal, are you using the full path to pages or just the file names? Using the full domain can make AOL think you're including a 3rd party page which it doesn't like much. Then again AOL keep changing their ways all the time - troublesome

As in the Gallery php program? No, I have not tried any scripts -- essentially, I am looking for something that will blend in with the other pages, without hours of editing templates, with a simple interface.

Aha! Yes, I was indeed using the full URL for the I-Frame. So, instead of using the URL, I should use /pages/content.htm? I will try a few things out.

Thanks for the suggestions..

No matter if it was a script like gallery or a freebie at hotscripts you'd have to edit/modify in some way or another.
I gave up supporting AOL ages ago, just when you think you have it sorted (and I had to rely on non webby person using AOL), they (AOL) would change things again. A lot of their settings are security and spam based - which dont work or work to well.
