I tried that before when I was working on my footer but it never seemed to work right... Try % values for your height.

I always program to not have any warnings or errors. Just seems more professionals when it's perfect.I guess in some cases you can't always do that.

It can be done many ways, that's the best example i have come across and everyone seems to understand how to use it.If you have a link to a css list version feel free to post it.

Why won't it pass validation??? my transparency code validates.opacity: .5 also works in newer versions of opera

Transparency is nice and all but will not pass validation and I believe it doesn't work in Opera

I think that menu can also be done with lists instead of tables. That would be a lot easier to work with.

WOW! Awesome essay guys Seriously this helps me a lot to know what I'm getting into. I also had a couple contracts but they were both cheap contracts. ~500$. We have some agencies here especially for web designers, I could go and put my name in. I have also heard of those 14 year old guys trying to design web sites and screwing everything up. I have redesigned a site from a guy who had that problem and was extremely happy with the results! I have enough xp to create a great website, I know that now.Justsomeguy, do you do that full time? Do you have a team working on the sites or only yourself?

It doesn't matter what you charge if no one knows about it.  People won't buy ads on a site that no one knows about, they go to craigslist instead.  And there's no point in making another craigslist, because, well, there already is one.If you want to use your internet skills to make money, set up a company, register a name and become legit, and make websites for other people.  If you are good, you will be able to charge $75-$125 per hour or more for good PHP programming.  And you can even work for anyone in world, like, for example, someone in Spain.

Unless you have lots of money to advertise your site/service and can afford to provide it free for at least a year then you are probably not going to make a go of it.Another thought is...free sites make money too. If you can provide a service everyone wants and its free (and there aren't a million of them already) then there is a good chance you will be able to build decent traffic in the first couple of years.At that point you may be able to sell ad space or at least sign up for Google AdSense.

What kind of costs are we talking about here? I know the servers will cost but how much? I should be able at the beginning anyway to get a normal plan from any hoster.Let me worry about the clients ok.

Well at the end that's what it's all about... money. I'm not saying I wanna take advantage of clients. What I wanna do is offer them a service (car selling board) which would be better in some ways than others. I know it takes time to get known online so 5+ years is expected.

I think car postings or job postings would be great. I have a friend that has a job posting board and it's 45$ Canadian for each posting. So imagine if you have lots of posts!!!Same for car postings but I think the cost would be lower. When I design a site I always make sure to make it easy to navigate. If you ask me it's one of the most important things.I just need to figure out how to charge people for postings. I'm probably going to let a company like paypal take care of it. Do I need to create a company in order to charge people?

Ok, I wanna make money online and I wanna start an online business such as sell fonts, web templates, car postings, job postings...I was just wondering which would be the best online business to start and that has a lot of demand for?

What I did is downloaded the phpbb forum and then you can look at all their code they used so it helps to understand how it works. You can view their database so you can understand the structure. Helps a lot.

Try with pixels instead of ems. IE seems more precise with pixels.

give me an example pls.

So I'm validating my css on w3c but I only have a couple warnings that I'm not sure how to solve. It's all about the font-family.CSS

font: bold 11px "trebuchet ms", verdana, arial;

Warnings

Line : 92 font-family: You are encouraged to offer a generic family as a last alternative Line : 92 (Level : 2) font-family: You are encouraged to offer a generic family as a last alternative : #container .subcontainer .topnavlist

Look at this: http://www.alistapart.com/stories/alternate/Might help you.

I know they'll ship anywhere a printed copy. To me I don't think this certification would make any difference. Some people I worked for had no idea what w3schools is... But I guess it wouldn't hurt.

I got it.... What a ###### error lol. I forgot you needed the "images/" path in there.I'll post my project in the show off the sites thread. It's very hot!

It must be somekind of bug with the page probably... I have checked so many times the paths and filenames, trust me it's fine. I guess I'll play around with my code and see.

Hey!Ok so I have a javascript that basically changes the image when the cursor is on it. Simple right? Well not for me it seems. Usually it is but it seems like it's not working today...First when I load the page the image is there and then on hover you only see the alt and the X in the corner. no pop-ups.Script

<script type="text/javascript">	<!-- // 	//if browser is compatible	if (document.images) {   //preload images   //base image   a= new Image(91,40);   a.src= 'topnav-home.jpg';  //hover or rollover image   aover= new Image(91,40);   aover.src= 'topnav-home-over.jpg';    function myOn(myImgName) {  	 document[myImgName].src=eval(myImgName+ 'over').src;   } 	   function myOut(myImgName) {  	 document[myImgName].src=eval(myImgName).src;   } 	}	//-->	</script>

HTML

<li><a href="index.htm"><img src="images/topnav-home.jpg" name="a" height="40" width="91" alt="Home" onmouseover="myOn('a')" onmouseout="myOut('a')" /></a></li>

For testing purposes I have changed the html name of the img to "a" to eliminate chances of typos. I have double and triple and quattriple checked the image file name and they are exact. I have copy pasted them to make sure.I have taken this code from 2 previous projects I've done and it worked perfectly.Thanks!

Thanks for the example.
