Welcome to The Galewood Tavern
Information Center. The web site for
The Galewood Tavern
is much like any other site. A Welcome
Home page, a Full service kitchen Menu,
who the DJ's are that entertain you, all
about our VIP services, a Jukebox which allows you to
select what you like from over 12,000
musical mp3 files, and lastly the
Galleries showing most all of our
visitors to the Tavern. The best
part of our web site is everything.

MENU STRUCTURE The
Information Center Menu Structure system
(to the left) is rather unique. It
is accordion style. You open the
accordion by placing your mouse over the
dark band. Then click with the
left key. That section will open.
You could, for instance, close the
section before moving to the next
session; however that isn't necessary,
as when you move to the next section,
the previous section will close
automatically. The rest is
intuitive. Our goal has always
been to minimize the number of mouse
clicks so you can get to the information
as quickly as possible. Now, with
that said, there are going to be some
sites we direct you to that will put up
a number of roadblocks to that goal.
Due to legal issues such as copyright
legislation, treaties, and other similar
processes, we cannot simply copy and
paste the information. Instead, we
use a technology defined by I-frames.
When you make a menu selection, some
pages we have created and are part of
our web site will come into a window
similar to this one. At other
times, we will call for the external web
site to serve up a specific page to this
window. As mentioned previously,
some web sites won't let us do that and
they force your browser into a new
browser tab or a completely new window
as well as their own methods for getting
around.
We try to keep those situations to a
minimum. We employ PDF technology as
well. All PDFs should display in
this window if it is on our site.
We discovered, recently, the latest
versions of Microsoft Explorer (Ver 8
and above) will force either a new tab
or completely new window. Most
confusing although tolerable. Go Top
SCROLL BARS
Because we are using I-frame technology,
there could be two to three scroll bars.
The first vertical scroll bar (the one
that goes up and down) will control the
outside page or the overall page.
Some browsers will display that scroll
bar in colors. Firefox and some
others will not. The second vertical
scroll bar (if it shows) will control
the scroll effect of the I-frame.
And sometimes, depending on your monitor
and screen resolutions, you may have to
use the main page or outer scroll bar to
get to the bottom of the window for the
horizontal scroll bar on the I-frame.
Not all web sites will fit into the
I-frame which is why there is a
horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of
the I-frame. We figured you wanted
to get to the information which
generally shows on the left to the
middle of most web site pages.
And, if you want to go more in-depth on
that web site page, you can scroll to
the right and back to the left.
It's better to do it on the I-frame
because not every web site page is
programmed for your monitor. If we
perceive it to be a real challenge,
we'll force it into a new tab or page.

GENERAL
PRINTING Printing of the I-frame
page is easy. Sending it to your
email address is also easy. And if
you do not have Adobe Reader, we have
simplified that as well for most pages
that we can control. There are two
ways you can print something in the
I-frame. For PCs, place your
cursor within the I-frame and do a right mouse click. A separate
menu should pop up with the print
function. Depending
on the printer and printer driver you
have installed, all pages should fit on
a standard width of paper - 8 inches to
8¼ inches wide. If the
I-frame page is super wide, you can set
your printer driver to landscape mode
which is 10½ inches wide for printing. The alternative is (after you
place your cursor in the I-frame) to
either do a ctrl-P on the PC or Apple-P
on the Apple computers. You press
and hold the first key while you tap the
second key (P) then release the first
key. That should bring up your
print menu. Similar functions exist
for the Linux and Unix systems as well
as most other browsers and operating
systems. Go Top
PDF PRINTING
Printing for PDFs is relatively simple.
PDFs present you with menus to let you
do whatever you want to do. |
