you say web server, do you mean a host?

My strengths seem to be picking things up fast (e.g someone gives me a page of code i can take it apart finding what each part does) PHP and JS i have never understood so its going to be a good learning curve for me now.

Im reading up on PHP tutorials now as HTML and CSS is all I have learnt so far. It may be a day or 2 before the PHP file is done.

Perfect thank you man you are god of this

Its pitiful but here you go <form><Table border="1"><tr><td>Name: </td><td><input type="text" name="name" /><br /></td></tr> <tr><td>Email: </td><td><input type="text" name="email" /><br /></td></tr> <tr><td>Subject: </td><td><input type="text" name="subject" /><br /></td></tr> <tr><td>Message: </td><td><input type="text" name="message" /><br /></td></tr></table> <input type="submit" /> </form> I need to CSS format it still, Need to make the submit button work and then display a message I need to make the message area larger. EDIT: If i dont reply tonight Im now out at a Royal British Legion meeting.

Got one issue now, Some pictures are 75px high and others are 133px high. The horizontal layout is perfect but the grid is all in different heights and it looks rubbish. In the CSS file i know I can put a height:133px; value in but then it wont be dynamic and also I am confused as to which part of the CSS I put it under, If I put it under .gallery_wrapper div it makes no difference.gallery_wrapper div a it makes the grid all wonky.gallery_wrapper div a img makes it perfect but stretches all the pictures to that height which is a no no. Do i need to add another element to the CSS to determine the height of the rows?

Can you give a small example as the last one I tried just ended up with a row of 12 photos and not 3x 4 rows.

I would ideally like to use my own code as I have wrote a lot of this website from a blank notepad page, I had a look through the basic HTML code but cant see the way to submit data with out showing my email address (which is a private one) and also how to implement the captcha.

I have been using a contact form made from the website http://www.emailmeform.com/ and I think after making the rest of my site very very nice looking in my eye this is the only bit that detracts its value as the form sends you to a page advertising there product before back to my website. Is there a better form that can hide my email and have captcha on it to prevent spam?

what a star thank you so so much and if it wasnt for Ctrl + H to replace 1 value with another I could have been there all day replacing "rel" I had to edit the JS files more than in that link but all was good

Can you give me an example I know you can do a row like this <div class="imageRow"> <div class="set"> <div class="single first"> <a href="" rel="lightbox" title=""><img src="" alt="" /></a> </div> <div class="single"> <a href="" rel="lightbox" title=""><img src="" alt="" /></a></div> <div class="single"> <a href="" rel="lightbox" title=""><img src="" alt="" /></a> </div> <div class="single last"> <a href="" rel="lightbox" title=""><img src="" alt="" /></a> </div> </div> but then how do you do more than 1 row?

Yeah that's what the lightbox instructions said and even the lightbox site does not validate either.

I will take a fresh look today, was watching the Olympics and doing the pictures at the same time EDIT: Taken a look and sorted all the errors out apart from this one that repeats on every page, is it something I will have to live with? Line 137, Column 101: Bad value lightbox[rideout] for attribute rel on element a: Keyword lightbox[rideout] is not registered.

what would you use instead of a table?

My website is getting closer to being completed but it does not validate and with over 278 errors, its annoying (im so tired now lol) Can someone look at the errors on the attached file and let me know what I need to do to correct it. (Its not the one with 278 errors as it says its too large so I uploaded the smaller page)

ride-out-gallery.html

this is what it does my end on chrome

try this page http://test.repsolhondanc24.co.uk/restoration-gallery.html if that works fine too then it must be chrome

Looks good to me. There's no point to making everything too small. That's especially true on mobile devices.

The layout I think is good but its just how if i resize the screen it goes behind the right sidebar and nt reduce in size like I was hoping (but keep the thumbnails the same size)

I have a table layout for my picture gallery live example : http://test.repsolhondanc24.co.uk/ When you minimise it or have it on a smaller screen resolution the table does not reduce in size like the other page content section does. Where am I going wrong. I want the table to be all the same size for width and heigh per square alternatively is there a better picture gallery I can use with out using a table (I'm keeping the light-box feature)

After a lot of messing I have the lightbox working below is the live version: http://test.repsolho...on-gallery.html Problem now is the table is not dynamic so when you minimise it does not adjust the size as per all the other content sections.

I dont, I will by the end of the day. richard

Any one at all able to help as this photo gallery an lightbox is the only major thing holding me back from the completed site

thanks for all the input. I dont know whether PHP nuke or Joomla would be a better choice than wordpress for making the site base?Im really looking for something with the following: Static homepage.Review sectionTechnical sectionNews pageSponsors pageContact form and donate pageVideo pageVCRA Act page (explains the law on airsoft buying and selling) I want it to be SEO optimised as at the moment I dont think it is due to the low volume of traffic compared to the wide range or advertisement and product reviews I have on there (I dont understand SEO fully. I know you need varied content, lots of links, videos, photos to help but what else) I want the layout to be pleasing and easy to navigate I have a few ideas rolling around in my head but they all start with me coding a site from scratch which seems a big NO at the current moment as I have only just mastered the very basic, and i mean basic as I cant make side bars, the ones on my site were made from the help off here. I think in the Ideal world a website with no database would be the most secure but the hardest to edit.

I have made websites and getting lots of help improving them www.achownscontracting.co.uk and www.repsolhondanc24.co.uk are the sites that I have made. But my review website needs to be really high spec looking.I really want to start from scratch on it but i use notepad to edit everything and inserting <br/> every line would make the reviews far to long winded. Unless there are some other publishing programs out there which are not blog based but still enable content posting easily

Im happy to do as much of the coding I need to do, but either I need to make a very stylish wordpress or alternative template that is secure or a site with database and then a back end for imputting the text/pics in easier. I got lots of time on my hand and im learning more each day but to do a big site like that is a big job. cant afford a freelancer to build the site, hence asking for help/ pointing in right direction
