  1. I first learn about W3C when I first started to get interested in learning HTML. Someone on some long forgotten forum suggested W3C schools for the tutorials....and well.....the rest is history
  2. Okay, I know this is basic stuff, but I seem to be having a mad cow moment. I am trying to link to locations on the same page, and have the links change styles on hover. The return to top link changes style but does nothing when clicked, and the links at the top don't change on hover and also do nothing. I've looked at the code and CSS and just can't figure out what's wrong here. I know it's something simple and will probably smack myself in the head when it's pointed out to me. But can someone look at the code and tell me where I've went wrong?XHTML: <div class= "menu-links" name="menu-links"> <div class= "menulink-head">Link To Menu Category</div> <a class= "menupage-link" href= "#menu-cat1" title= "Hot Dogs & Chili Buns">Hot Dogs & Chili Buns </a> <a class= "menupage-link" href= "#menu-cat2" title= "Nachos, Salads, & Soups"> Nachos, Salads, & Soups </a> </div> <div class="menu-category"><span name="menu-cat1">Hot Dogs & Chili Buns</span> </div> <div class= "cat-description"> <span>All hot dogs and chili buns come with mustard and onions. Ketchup and mayonnaise available upon request.</span></div> <div> <div class="menu-item"><span>Plain Hot Dog .....................................................................</span></div> <div class="item-price"><span>#1.50</span></div> </div> <div> <div class="menu-item"><span>Chili Bun ...........................................................................</span></div> <div class="item-price"><span>$1.75</span></div> </div> <div> <div class="menu-item"><span>Chili Dog ...........................................................................</span></div> <div class="item-price"><span>$2.00</span></div> </div> <div> <div class="menu-item"><span>Chili, Cheese ......................................................................</span></div> <div class="item-price"><span>$2.25</span></div> </div> <div> <div class="menu-item"><span>Chili, Cheese, & Peppers ........................................................</span></div> <div class="item-price"><span>$2.50</span></div> </div> <div> <div class="menu-item"><span>Chili, Cheese, & Slaw ............................................................</span></div> <div class="item-price"><span>$2.50</span></div> </div> <div> <div class="menu-item"><span>Chili, Cheese, Peppers, & Slaw ................................................</span></div> <div class="item-price"><span>$2.75</span></div> </div> <div> <div class="menu-item"><span>Fiesta Dog .........................................................................</span></div> <div class="item-price"><span>$2.00</span></div> </div> <div> <div class="menu-item"><span>Pizza Dog ..........................................................................</span></div> <div class="item-price"><span>$2.00</span></div> </div> <div> <div class="menu-item"><span>Polish Dog ..........................................................................</span></div> <div class="item-price"><span>$2.35</span></div> </div> <div> <div class="menu-item"><span>Quarter Pound Beef Dog .........................................................</span></div> <div class="item-price"><span>$2.50</span></div> </div> <div class= "menu-return"> <a class= "menu-return" href= "#menu-links" title= "Return to top">Return to top</a> </div> <div class="menu-category"> <span name="menu-cat2">Nachos, Salads, & Soups</span></div> <div class="cat-description"> <span>All Nachos include chili & cheese.

  3. I think I have a headache. I code everything using XHTML Strict. I've never thought about this before, but for some reason I had this burning need to know. Thanks
  4. Just a general question on how different browsers handle block elements. When you specify an element to be 800 pixels in width, with a 2 pixel border, is the border included in the 800 pixel width? For example, would the actual width inside the block for content would be 796 pixels since 4 pixels are taken up with the borders, or are the border widths added on to the block element leaving all 800 pixels for content? And does this vary between browsers?
  5. I start Firefox with four forums loaded as my start pages: Webepertz Forum, Programming Talk, Windows Forum, and W3Schools.. This is the only forum I seem to have trouble with. I don't use any other browser, except when viewing pages under construction to check the rendering. Like I said, not a monumental problem, but one that makes you go.......hmmmm. I didn't used to have this problem, that's why I'm curious.
  6. Okay, I know this is whining......kinda......but each time I visit now I have to log in manually (well actually Firefox remembers it for me). I have the "remember me" box checked, and I never used to have this problem. Am I the only one having problems logging in? Now I know it now takes me two clicks to log in (so much work), and in the grand scheme of things it's not as high on the list as say, what's going to happen next week on "24". But it is an annoying problem. Are there any solutions to this or will I just have to keep wearing my mouse out having to click it two extra times? Oh the inhumanity of it all
  7. I've downloaded, but have not installed XAMPP yet. I'll run the port scan to see what's open. I use ZoneAlarm as my firewall, so I don't know how secure my machine really is. But I do use a broadband, always on connection. Before I install anything, I need to be sure I'm as secure as I can be. I thought I was paranoid before, but now....... I went to grc.com and passed all tests. All ports are secure, there was no response from my machine to any of the packets sent. Great site, I can sleep easy for now
  8. I had wondered how anyone would find me, but I'm always a bit paranoid when it comes to securing my computer. So you all think XAMPP is better than WAMP5? And as far as not hurting myself, that's why I keep regular backups
  9. I'm going through the W3C tutorials on PHP. I would like to be able to run these scripts on my local machine rather than have to upload to my hosting server while I learn the language. And besides, I would like to be able to develop on my machine before uploading anyway. I looked at bundles that install Apache, SQL, & PHP, but was a little concerned about the security once I installed them. Am I just being paranoid, or are there some issues I need to address before I install this software? I was looking to install WAMP5 that I linked to from the introductory tutorial at php.net.
  10. Okay I'm not going to pretend to know php, but would I use it to also design the ordering form instead of using XHTML? Or would I use php to access the data input into the form? Please excuse my ignorance on this one. I guess I got me some learnin' to do.
  11. I'm putting up a site for my brother's restaurant and he would like to set up online ordering. What I'm wondering since this is my first "real" site, what would be the best way to go with this? I know I can set up the form with markup, but when formatting a confirmation page for the customer to look over, and to calculate the order total, would you want to use a client side language such as Javascript, or a server side language like php?I need to be able to have the user input their order using drop downs. Then display a confirmation page with their order and the purchase total for them to look at before they confirm and submit it via e-mail. I would also like to send them a confirmation that the order was received. I know I can set up an auto responder to confirm the e-mail receipt, but how would I also include their order in the e-mail?I know this is a lot, but I have lots of time to put this together and would like to do it right since this is my first foray outside of just coding for fun. So I'm looking for a little input as to how would be the best way to approach this. If I'm able to pull this off, and do it well..........who knows?
  12. Okay, this is just a guess because I haven't tried this. But have you tried using ASCII Entity Numbers for "-" and "+"? Don't know if it makes a difference, but that seems to be what these text fields between the <p></p> tags have in common. Other than that, I'm at a loss.
  13. Ditto. I don't see a <select> tag anywhere. Just to be sure I didn't miss it, I searched the source code for 'select' and it didn't show up. This is both in Firefox 1.5 and IE 7.
  14. I looked at the page and the only difference I could see was the more narrow footer in IE 7 than in Firefox 1.5. I didn't see any text disappearing in IE. To what text are you referring?
