real_illusions

have you got ftp access? or a control panel?if you dont..then theres not much you can do..unless you contact the host and prove your the owner of the website, then they'll probably give you control panel access.

have you got a link to the code? or paste the html bit.

the no scrolling from side to side - use percentages and not absolute lengths for withs. Use 100% for it stretch the whole width of the page no matter what size the browser. Although, its only the container tags that can be stretched, like divs and tables.Takes a little practise to get it right and working properly, but practise makes perfect :)As for the pictures - depends on what you want to do. Generally speaking, the smallest dimensions people are going to use on a desktop monitor is 800x600. So, if its a gallery your making, 800x600 should be small enough. If its a picture for decoration on your site, like a header, or a side image..the smaller the better in terms of file size, so it loads quicker.hope that helps:)

a captcha image thing is the usual way.the random letters thing you see so often. theres quite a few scripts out there i think..if not..then someones bound to be clever enough in here to write one:)

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%...tography.com%2Fnot at all valid..missing head tags..depreciated tags galore in there..invalid xhtml tags, tables are horrible (plus they seem to be incomplete) etc..I suggest to go through the validator results, clean it up, then you'll have some valid code to work with, then try and work out your problems. Use divs and css for layout, not tables.

if people have adblockers and pop up blockers, then you cant over ride them, just simple ask on your page for users to temporarily turn the blockers off for the popups to appear.as for the height/width issue..not so sure..i've only created popups with fixed dimensions. there might be a pre-made script out there that does adjustable windows.do a search on good old google for "fluid popup windows" or "adjustable popup windows" or something.you're probably bound to find something:)

how about a normal javascript pop up window, with the image inside? instead of a webpage in there, put an image in.that simplethen you can specify the background colour, status bar, width, height etc in the javascript code that creates the popup:)

i still dont get it..as theres no seperate files for each gallery folder..

you mean adding a copyright logo onto a picture?you can do that with pretty much almost any image editing software:)

Didn't work...nothing appeared

dont cut the losses yet...find out exactly whats happening. If they're illegal then you can report them. But i wont go down that road just yet.Going back to boen's question - Do you have any pages uploaded in the hosting space?Have you got access for uploading? Like a control panel or an ftp account?

yeah..thats very unusual..the hosting company should assist you, especially if your a beginner. who did you buy the domain off and who is the hosting company?And boen - its spelt 'hoax'

I have a gallery setup where its built in php. (see link i guess in my siggie), but, the title stays the same.The way its built is that its an index file, with the gallery script included into the page (where the images are generated). Therefore theres only the one title for everything.Is there a nice simple way to put in the title, what folder the user is viewing??

once you add content to the div's, without the 'footer' div in place, the borders should appear around the content.by default, a divs height is 0, unless you change it manually in the css or add content, in which case it stretches.hope that helps:)

Avast. I've had no problems at all with it.www.avast.complus its free for home use:)

it looks very amateurish..both the design, colours and the logo. Looks like you made the whole site in less than an hour...the suggestions/tips that ste said above i'd agree on..although a forum maybe a step too far, depends on how busy his site is, if its not busy, then the forum wont be busy, and people wont join. People like busy forums not dead ones, although all forums were dead at some point..(its that viscious circle kinda thing).Putting links to other sites on your front page is telling people - "hmm..my sites a bit crap, i think these ones are better" therefore people leaving your site and never coming back.your frames serve no purpose other then to make the site look ugly. Theres no consistency when opening new pages, and links to pages within your own site should always open in the same page.

the target machine is the serveryou sure you have your username, password and address correct??best double check with whoever set the ftp up.

xhtml is an updated version of htmlIts basically a much cleaner version, with properly nested tags and relies more on CSS for styling than older tags like center and font. Plus its more to do with divs for layout than tables.try this - http://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/default.asp

about your first question - its best to keep your html pages and images clsoe together, either in the same folder or have the images in a subfolder. It cuts down on any extra code you have to write by keeping the paths to images short, plus its easier to manage.your 2nd question about a link, which site is it? can you place a link here? Are you linking it from your computer or another website? And how have you linked to it?

i think i'm getting somewhere now..i'll let you know if i come across any problems while trying to install it into the gallery softwarethanks for your help and patience.

not neededyou can use the relative paths on your computerlike <img src="someimage.jpg" /> if its in the same foleror<img src="/images/someimage.jpg" /> if its in a sub folder called "images"

thx for thatbut i've tried every path possible, with slashes..without slashes, every combination possible..but with no luck

ok..now i get a different errorWarning: opendir() [function.opendir]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/) is not within the allowed path(s): (path removed)Warning: opendir(/) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: Operation not permitted in nextprevscript.php on line 14Warning: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in nextprevscript.php on line 18Warning: closedir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in nextprevscript.php on line 45I've set up a test bit, where some images are in a subfolder. If i put the path as "/images/" , it comes up with that error...i type anything else, and nothing appears.

#links {position:absolute;top: 55px;padding-left: 200px; /* 20px to play with */padding-right: 120px; /* 20px to play with */}change that to#links{margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;margin-top:55px;}It should be centered and 55px from the top. Plus, if you make the browser smaller..the image links go onto a new line, causing the site to collapse in on itself and generally look horrible.If you use less absolute positioning with other elements, then you can help get rid of this problem.

i wouldn't use a table for aligning an image..it'll probably screw the rest of the site up.Mathias - how are you trying to align this image? via the code or the display mode in dreamweaver? Can you show us the code you currently have?
