I think you should try Norwegian, or worse: Finnish.

Texts translated like this can be read if you're struggling hard to get the meaning, but the language is simply horrible. Too many expressions...

From what I've seen such translations are almost unreadable. Only word for word and taken out of context, no grammar ... you have to guess the meaning for every other sentence.

Sorry folks, we are...

I don't know python or perl, but in php including a text file is easy:
include <name of text file>;

In one of my sites I let the script search directories and display the filenames of that...

The way I would do it is by using an error 404 error handler, and parse the URL actually used. On one of my hosts (all hosts do not allow this) I also use this method to parse subdomains, so I don't...

CGI is a generic term. You can do it in perl, python or php. There's no CGI language (AFAIK).

php does the job quick and easy. The key is in the three lines I gave you. I suggest you learn php...

This was rather lengthy, so I haven't studied it very closely.
A link to a web page might have helped.

But as a start, you have placed the images inside a div, which is good.
Then you have...

From WIKI:
"A CGI file is a Common Gateway Interface Script file. Learn how to open a CGI file or convert a CGI file to another file format."

So CGI is a general specification for a file that can...

I develop my websites using my own computer, so the backup is really the version on the WEB. If it crashes I can just upload again.

The exception here is dynamic data like the database(s). I'm not...

If you say gedit, I'll say geany. That's my preferred php/html/javascript editor.

OK, thanks! I just though that my type specification (text/css) would override this.

The easiest solution in my case will be to include these CSS specification in the source (html) file.

I thought I had given this recommendation before, but it must have disappeared.

I also use Joomla!. In fact, I have just made my first website with it.
It's a commercial site, so I'm even getting...

I would drop the height and width declarations that don't belong in modern HTML:

<img src="Images/Purple eyes.gif" width="345" height="483" />

Instead I would separate HTML and CSS like this:

Yesterday I discovered that FireFox refused to read CSS files that did not have the CSS extension.

I have a basic CSS that's always read, based on the CSS extension (I have a script that...

The request was for a free website editor. Dreamweaver is far from free; in fact it has a ridiculously high price ($400). Additionally it had a very serious bug: You need Windows to use it.

That's easy. Just don't set another size for the <a> tag, like I have done.
I like to see that small displacement ... :)

Is this something like what you're looking for?

I've recently started to use Joomla! which is exclusively written in php so it doesn't depend on your OS. Quite flexible and makes sites that are easy to maintain. For the best result, however, you...

The fact that some actually WANT rounded corners really baffles me. I would go to great length to have them removed. They are so UNNATURAL! :)
That may also be the reason why I HATED Windows XP when...

Should be very easy. Just move the <p> BEHIND the image specification.

To me the two look identical except the menu in the test version is a little narrower. There's no extra white space.

This could be browser dependent. I use FireFox 3.0.

Should be done by just omitting the width attribute. AAMOF you could drop the other attributes also, unless they've been set to another default.

I have done this for a long time. Recently I've come up with a more secure solution: I have one index file which is common for all my sites (except those made with Joomla!). Also, this index file...

Out of 10000 hits to one of my websites, 378 were done with IE6.
I would hardly call that a majority. I admit that people who see my sites may be more than average interested in internet and...

I don't know aptana but I use Geany which is a nice editor for html and php, and even for CSS. There are more advanced editors, but Geany is near perfect for me. Gedit is useful too, but simpler.

In browser: View, Source.

width=100%; should do the trick, but you may have to experiment with the positioning. I'm not 100% sure about it and don't have the inclination to do all the work for you! :)

You should be able to...

Define it as a normal image, and set this style:
.background
{ position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
width:100%;
z-index:-1;
}

Then use:

I wouldn't bother, but your site is too wide anyway. Wouldn't fit in a smaller screen, and I guess IE6 users haven't advanced much past 800x600? :)

It's high time people stopped using...

That's what I was talking about.

It is normally no problem to make a filename compatible with web standards (htmlentities), so that it's converted back to the original when it reaches the...

Sorry, I fail to see how a filename naming convention has anything to do with routing information.

The contents of a HTML file with links don't matter at all until it ends up on the client's...

My solution works most of the time. I use only UTF-8, locally as well as on the Net. Maybe not perfect but it covers my needs.
Changes will never happen as long as we accept things as they are.

Digression:
The font name is "lucida". I guess you won't ever see it when the name ends with an "e".

.... but you still think the system needs no update? :)

I'm sorry. Maybe I am an idiot here, because I don't understand what you mean.
I've been fighting this "system" since we were using punched...

We have a word for people with that kind of attitude, but because I am not English I'm afraid I can't translate. And even if I could, I'm too polite! :)

May I remind you that there are far more...

There's a world outside of USA. If a system doesn't allow characters outside the limited ASCII set, it's the system that needs to be changed.

Well, what did I just do? :)

Does if work better if you put quotes around "BRH Kannada" ?

Windows doesn't support UTF-8 encoding very well, but that would be the way to go. I don't know the Kannada font, but like many other MS TrueType fonts it may not be complete.

I always use UTF-8...

Display has no "absolute" property.

Position:absolute might do some trick, but in my experience absolute positioning can create more problems than it solves.

Let's hope so!
Maybe someone else can simplify this, even before CSS3! :)
