real_illusions

one way of putting vertical menus with tables in is what i do - although change the width value to however wide the menu is, and add whatever other attributes you want into there.put this table either inside another table, or use div tags to seperate the page. <table width="100"><tr valign="center"><td>some menu thing</td></tr><tr valign="center"><td>some menu thing</td></tr><tr valign="center"><td>some menu thing</td></tr><tr valign="center"><td>some menu thing</td></tr><tr valign="center"><td>some menu thing</td></tr><tr valign="center"><td>some menu thing</td></tr></table> i've yet to explore the css path of doing menus...so whatever anyone says about them, will be new to me.

thanksi'm not using php just yet.if/when (although more of a when) i do convert the pages to php, i'm guessing them meta tags will still work?

Hi, how do you stop pages from caching the page so what people see when they go onto a page is the latest page, and not the last one they saw before you updated it..??

theres a php code that does that with some gallery software.but i dont know of how it works or where you get it from. i can find out though if you want.

just tried it in both explorer and firefox, and the links appear as green and then light blue when you hover over them.perhaps you have a link colour in the body tag thats over riding the css? or another font tag somewhere in the document.

maybe i got confused with a javascript that created a fake hit counter.sorry...

any mod/admin only areas should remain hidden..and have been on all the forums i've been on:)

i believe its javascript thats used for page counters.i usually search the internet for free javascript. had a quick look but cant find any page counters..but i'm sure i saw one somewhere.

i was going to say this too.if you over ride the text size option on your site, then you are actually in breach of the disability act on the internet. everyone needs to be able to read a website, no matter who they are.

on the problem solved idea..i reckon a simple edit of the title thread would be sufficient.in the title description or something..like "resolved" or something.pretty much similiar to that french forum

you mean a forum like this one?http://www.phpbb.com/http://www.invisionboard.com/ip.dynamic/pr...oard/index.htmljust a couple and i think the most common, and both are free as far as i know.

yeah..good idea:)

tried the above phpbut i got a parse error in this line :)edit - ok..i discovered the problem was my fault.where do i put my html in that code? and how do you get rid of the calender code?2nd edit - now sorted that out. been told that by using complicated php, css show/hide with it all on one page...the menu, background etc.. will all stay loaded while the text loads.i guess this needs moving to the php section

thx for the help so far.i dont see anything on w3schools.com about the use of flash as html pages. i'm not great at flash, all i know is how to do the tween across the screen.dan the prof - that javascript idea intrigues me, any possiblililitiy that you can go further with that?about the div layers been targeted. the only link target attributes are blank, parent, top and self. so..i'm a bit confused by everything

well...valid code would be better, so its guarenteed (mostly) to work on all platforms and browsers.

i hate frames, so i like to avoid them as much as possible. you get annoying borders too, well..it did when i tried it with the site.so..how do you go about it in flash?and what happens if a user doesn't like flash? could create 2 sites, one flash and one non-flash, just basic html, and an intro page saying which site to go for.

Hi, not sure where to post this, so i'll post it here.is there a way of, making a page so that, the menu, logo and background stay where they are, so they are not reloaded everytime you press a link.But the text bit on the page, so to say, in its own area, changes each time you press a link. But, it does so in a cool way, like the text/images scrolls and fades away downwards, and then the new text and images scrolls and fades in upwards, kinda quickly.and also, the url stays the same, so it doesn't show any file names etc..just www.somesite.co.uk no matter what you press.i'm guessing this is possible with flash, and maybe php, but i have no idea on how to go about it.

Hi, this is probably really simple, but since i dont know anything, i need some help.i like to know of a script that scrolls some text in a certain place on a website, like appears from nowhere, then disappears into no-where, while still showing the background image on the page.thanks:)

http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/cutindex1.shtmlis where you'll find some calendar dates and times and such.not sure about the hiding option though.i know this isn't within half hour of your post, but better late than never...

phorm.comthats what i use.it maybe tricky to get to grips with at first, but if you get stuck, ask me for any help and i'll see what i can do.
