another alternative that is quite easy is to use Matt Wright's CGI formmail script http://www.scriptarchive.com/formmail.htmlyou simply follow the instructions to configure the file in your text editor & upload the file to your cgi-bin hope this helps, ste

i think your problem is that you are floating elements, when you float an element, it takes it out of the flow of the document in standards complacient browsers such as FF but not IE. so basically FF considers the container element (that has the background) emptytry clearing the float after the content e.g. <div style="clear:both"></div>hope this helps, ste

Aha ! And here I was wondering ... I thought I had the grasp of css styling .... but I realized that with css I can't show the same images (menu images e.t.c.) in every page.So I should put those in a separate php file which I should include in every page I guess eh ? Now let's see ... gonna re-read the php tutorial of w3c to see how I can accomplish this

i think you misunderstood. What i meant is you design the site with html & css you then seperate the html into php files e.g. header/footer this way you can make changes to just a few files and having those changes propagated throughout the entire web site without having to edit every single file. So basically the css is controling the layout and the php includes are like a way to organise the html. I hope this is clearer now

merry christmas all

it looks like you have 4 fairly static pages (Home , Projects , Our Comic , About Us) and then the forum. i would probably code it like this:make the basic html template, split this into individual php files (header.php, footer.php etc) build the site with php includes then use third party software for the forum (whichever you prefer phpbb?) and try and style the forum to match the look of your site.

bookmarked.thanks Caligo

in W3school CSS tutorials they have given the html coding part but not CSS coding part.

what? w3schools has probably got the most comprehensive css tutorials on the net

since moving from tables to divs one problem that keeps cropping up for me is that divs arent great for making columns because of the inability to get equal heights there have been a few suggestions to this problem ive read. one is javascript getting the div by id and making the heights equal. heres an examplehttp://ecomireland.dsvr.co.uk/clients/test/reportingsjr.htmlhope this helps

i dont really need/want lots of features just any text editor with syntax highlighting, search & replace, tabs and spellcheck. i use ultraedit right now & it does the job but i would be just as happy with crimsonedit

you could add a top & bottom div containing those images heres another example:http://ecomireland.dsvr.co.uk/clients/test/Kristian_C2.html (view source for the code)apperently image borders are included in CSS3 but it will be a good while before its a common browser featurehttp://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-css3-border-2...he-border-image

I dont think you can use images for borders but instead you can use a background image for a div. something like this:{background: #fff url(#.gif) top center; background-repeat: repeat-y;}example:http://ecomireland.dsvr.co.uk/clients/test/Kristian_C.htmlthe flaw with this method is altough the height can stretch to whatever you want the width has to be fixed to the width of the background hope this helps

i was under the impression that it would, but on further reading you are correct aspnetguy. now im off to re-read the xml tutorials lol

there are default margins and line heights the browsers disply with. you can change them with css though

CSS will eventually be replaced by XSL style sheets which format XML. But that does not mean its not a good idea to learn CSS because there are similarites between the two. I dont think its the language thats as important as understanding the concepts anyway.

saying "screw it" to the majority of your users is a bad idea. i didnt get a chance to have a look at your page because you have edited away the link but there should be a way to achieve what you need without sacrificing most of your users. there is usually something that can be done. have you looked into css hacks ?

can you post the code or better yet a link?

or make a streaming player in flash

ok first you need to make the tab buttons you will be using in Photoshop or whatever graphics program you use.an example of one of youtubes butons: heres a tutorial on making tabs:http://www.spoono.com/photoshop/tutorials/tutorial.php?id=55youtube also has a bottom image background. e.g. (click for actual size) once you have your 4 different buttons and background. you can move on to the html/cssno need to put it in a form like you have above.html:

<div id="navigation"><div class="tab"><a href="#"><img src="tab1.gif" /></a></div>	<div class="tab"><a href="#"><img src="tab2.gif" /></a></div><div class="tab"><a href="#"><img src="tab3.gif" /></a></div><div class="tab"><a href="#"><img src="tab4.gif" /></a></div></div><div id="NavBottom"> </div>

css:

navigation { height: 28px; }.tab 	{ float: left; width: 124px; border:0px }#NavBottom { clear: both; width: 100%; height: 24px; background: url(backgroundimage.gif) top left no-repeat; margin-bottom: 6px;}

heres a finished example: (you can view the source code to see how it works)http://www.stefairclough.com/xbl1/

try adding to cssform {margin: 0; padding: 0;}

Not much point in posting a template you spent 30 mins on with no doctype or even page title. You shouldnt hurry the process. Good design requires attention to detail. ive seen a few of your designs at this point and i think the major flaw with each has been a poor color palette. ditch the neon colors and try some lighter hues. heres an example of a nice palette: the four colors to the right are monochromatic (tints and shades of a single color & a standard way of forming a complimentry color scheme) and then a pale orange tetradic color livins it up a bit. Its alot easier and pleasing to the eye than neon on black.Hope this helps

another thing, in your code you have <form >action="http://www.trafficswarm.com/swarm/searchw.pl" method="POST">should be<form action="http://www.trafficswarm.com/swarm/searchw.pl" method="POST">

what browser are you using? did you try clearing your cache and reloading the page

im a bit confused as to which ads you mean, but is it these banners you want to get rid of?
