Hi everyone!
Im back after a quiet a while of schooling. Good thing im in summer now; finally a break. Anyways, I am posting this because as most of you guessed, i need help. Like a month ago, I started doing a website, believe it or not, for my church... since I am pretty much the only person that could do it, been unexperienced and all. So i turned to probably the best place to get some help; here.

My first question is "how can you make the background work independantly, from the other one besides it, in the same page"... Ex: scrolling in one side, while having the left side stay put in the place you left it, so that i can put all the links in there, etc...
Second: "how can you make music start playing automaticaly in the background when you open that link?"....like be watching the website, while hearing a background song from that website
and lastly, how can you make a page with a bunch of question/answers be sent to you (me) when the button "submit" is pressed?

I would really be graceful if i got some answers from you people...
Also, if you got any ideas on how i could improve my website, it will be appreciated!!!
Thanks!!!!!
Sam.

I'm not sure about the other problems but i think that i have the solution to the problem you said about keeping the links in the same place. This is known as a framed page. it is really two web pages displayed at the same time in the same browser window. One for the links and one for the main content of the page. If you want, I can do that for you if you make the two different pages (links and main content). just E-Mail me if you want me to do that bit for you.

1.  Frames.  Don't do it though.  It's the second most obvious sign of a novice web designer.

2.  Embedded music.  Don't do this one either.  That's the first  most obvious sign of a novice web designer.

3.  What you want is a form.  Depending on what software you're using to build the site, there is probably a function to help with this.  Just check your menu for it.

Hyperion:
First, I am using FrontPage, and I know where the from is... But how can you make the entire page be sent to me with the click of just one "submit" button?... Instead of pressing submit for each question/answer. Thanks for your help though.

try http://www.freedback.com they have a tool on their site to generate a form for you which you just paste into the HTML of the page.
their site doesnt always work though

thanks for your help people!
I have learned alot this past two days...
