I haven't really decided yet. I was thinking of doing all of the images and categories stuff in MySQL, but XML could work too. I don't really have more experience in one or the other as of right now. What do you think would be easier and more efficient to do?

Ok, I'll take a look at that book, thanks Prateek.I was thinking of using AJAX to sort of dinamically change the page content with out making the user re-load the page. A ranking system would be good, I'll probably add that in. Would comments be a good idea as well maybe?

Maybe it's because you have <p class="content"> around your actual content area. You could take out the class in the p element, but you said it looks exactly the same. I dunno. Or call it <p class="nav"> or something different maybe? I don't know why it would do that.It worked for me before, but I was using an unordered list.

Basically because it tells the browser that the page is done, or at least that's what I think. I would suggest putting your break tags like this, if you plan on doing some more efficient and strict coding:<br />That's the valid XHTML way.

Looks nice. I don't really like the text on the footer at the bottom for some reason, but other than that it looks good. In Fire Fox, the top menu is down a bit further than I think it should be, it hangs over the banner a bit. It looks fine in IE 6 though. I had that problem before, what I did was wrapped it in a <p> tag called <p class="inline'> and then in the CSS, had this: p.inline {display: inline;} It worked. Fire Fox does that for some reason.

That is pretty stupid. Well, at least it works for you now.

This is possible to do using AJAX. They do it at one of the biggest Harry Potter websites on the internet, here: The Leaky Cauldron.If you click a link almost anywhere on the site, it only re-loads the page content. It gets a bit annoying if you're near the bottom of a long page, and then the content re-loads right at the top. I'm not really sure how they do it, but you could ask down in the Java Script forum, or read the AJAX tutorial at W3Schools.

Thanks for the replies. I think I'll go with a gallery. I've been thinking it over for the past few days, and I've got a few ideas in my head. My only other question is, where do I start? It probably sounds weird. Do I design all of the images first? Or make the basic HTML/CSS coding? Or even work on the more advanced "programming" sort of stuff? I have no idea.

Are there any spaces between the links? Or is there just the links, and | inbetween?Try adding at least one space between each of the links. I read somewhere that if there isn't a space between content inside of a div, then it won't add a new line. So if I put this in a div: and there wasn't enough room for all of it in the div, then it wouldn't add a line break if I remember correctly. Hopefully that may work.

A cookie would be good to store the information over a certain period of time. But If you were looking to keep it somewhere, and maybe call the information up on another page, I would suggest using a database. MySQL is probably the most commonly used on for PHP. I'd take a look at the MySQL tutorial at W3Schools, here MySQL

vertical-align: center; Try that maybe?

Just have the image centered in the div? Maybe this:CSS .center {text-align: center;margin: auto;} Then in the HTML: <div class="center">IMAGE HERE</div> That's how I center things.

Another way the seemed to work for me once, was the have a Div with a set width and height. Then add this to the style for that div: overflow: auto; It gave me a scroll bar when there was too much content inside the Div, but I'm not 100% sure if this is a good idea or not.

I started learning when I was 13, and I still am. I've only been doing all of this since late August. :)You know a lot of coding languages though, hope to see you around.

I'm really interested in making some sort of a script or program to improve my coding skills. Something like a news posting system or a guestbook etc. I want something that will help me improve in HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL and maybe XML and AJAX too depending on what it is.So does anyone have any suggestions on what would be a good thing for me to create? I don't mean something that I could try to distribute to other people to use, just something to help me improve as a coder. Not something to hard or to easy, but something that will be a bit of a challenge for me as a coder/developer.Thanks,Kevin

EDIT: Nevermind, got it working.

CO.NRThat's a fairly good one in my opinion. For ads, you just have to put there mini banner (81x31 pixels I believe) on the index page of your site.

Just a guess, but maybe you left out the semicolon (; ) at the end of one of the lines in the Style Sheet?

Ya, it does thanks.I looked at W3Schools, but I had no idea what an Entitie was, and I couldn't find it. It was sort of late and after a long week of school I was quite tired.Thanks for the help (and the Link )

Sorry, should of Google'd it first. Never thought. Thanks for the help.

I'm sort of curious about this. What does do? I've seen it used on quite a few websites, and I have no idea what it's for!Thanks,Kevin

I'm on IE6 and it works fine for me.

Good job!I was thinking of making my own sort of thing, but actually more so a webmaster could post news that would show up on a certain page. I'm going to probably use AJAX with it, along with PHP and MySQL.Anyway, good job on it.

Thanks, I'll take a look.
