  1. Theirs is just made in Photoshop, sliced and put into the page, like this:

    <a href="blah.html"><img src="blah.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="blah.html"><img src="blah.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="blah.html"><img src="blah.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="blah.html"><img src="blah.jpg" /></a><br />

  2. Good ol uber-geek-osity...I first downloaded CoffeeCup whatever it is, and yeah didn't learn much. Then I was overjoyed when I found out we had FrontPage...then was even more overjoyed when someone showed me how to hard-code Hello World in Notepad. Then I got HTMLGate.

  3. XAMPP and any other all-in-one installers generally cause more problems than they solve. A forbidden error is most likely something in your .htaccess folder, or php.ini. Not sure where though.My advice (which I tell everyone) is hire/buy a book on PHP and MySQL and follow there step by step guides to set up your own local server. It may take longer, but much better. Theres also more documentation if you run into errors, and easier to diagnose.

  4. Good luck. Its always a good thing to make your own forums, I want to make one later on when I've mastered PHP a bit more. It'll take a tonne of tables, lots of coding and errors along the way. Don't expect to make an invision power board overnight...start small (just creating topics and replying) then add more things (editing, quoting, search) then the trivial stuff (smilies, layout).

  5. They're more accessible, free at a library, don't take time to load, don't hurt your eyes (at least as much), and you can search the index quicker. I only use online resources to check quick codes etc, maybe find out why somethin isn't working, but the bulk of any 'learning' is done from a book.

  6. I just found out, it works perfectly, I also cleaned up your code a bit:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html><head><style type="text/css"><!--body {background-color: #add2ff;}a {font-size: 11pt;font-family: Arial, Verdana, Tahoma;text-decoration: none;color: #333333;}a:visited {color: #000000;}a:hover {color: #FFFFFF;}a:active {color: #000000;}#box1 {position: absolute;top: 200px;left: 136px;}#box2 {position: absolute;top: 442px;left: 136px;}#box3 {position: absolute;top: 200px;left: 386px;}#box4 {position: absolute;top: 200px;left: 886px;}#box5 {position: absolute;top: 455px;left: 886px;}--></style></head><body> </body></html>

  7. Funny that, that was recommended in my Javascript book that im currently reading, but I never checked it out.Most things like that that offer free services or scripts are free and can be re-used as many times as you want. Generally, you'll end up downloading a zip file with a few files, and end up copy + pasting code into your page, thats all. Feel free to d/l it, but I also recommend you seek to learn how it works. It will serve you much better in the future and look excellent on a portfolio.

  8. I'd recommend CSS menu, since its both easier and better and sounds cool. Anyways, <ul> menus are basically meant to be used for menus, unlike <center><strong>link<br /></strong></center> etc etc...I'd use lists. You can change the image in teh stylesheet like:

    ul {list-style-type: url('image.jpg');}

    As far as i can remember. Tables will take a while to load, and are unnessesary (<-- that just doesn't look spelt right) Image Map doesn't really have a point in a menu as far as I can see.
