dont know a css style to do it
have always used a transparent background with 2 horizontal lines for the span of text

perhaps because the code used is invalid

I hate 'choose a language' pages,

bad idea

If your web site was built by an 8 year old, it would be appropriate,
it does not approach the possibilities available,

this is a widescreen monitor 2600px wide, your single column fixed design looks ridiculous floating in the middle
on a phone/tablet, the content is pushed offscreen right,
in a partscreen window, or small display content is pushed offscreen right
users do not scroll sideways, mice do not have hscroll wheels, but they will follow a page down forever
properly laid out in em or % the logo issue would not arise, the page layout would auto adjust to window size

replace yoursite.com in the inactive links above with your uri, and follow the instructions to fix the site up, to current code standards
There are many 'professional' sites far worse than yours,
there are commercial sites that do not display in google chrome, firefox or safari, because they were built using IE specific code, there are other sites that refuse IE because the developers think they are superior to the 70% of users still using IE

your site, its actually pretty good, it displays in most browsers,
just that you might as well learn best practice, (its simpler to code) and produce a good site, instead of just a site

dunno if you get this, havent replied to a solved thread b4

you have worse problems than that
fixed column looks ridiculous on widescreen monitors, pushes content offscreen in small windows or displays

px are not layout tools px are used for images
current best practice for layout is em or % scalar dimensions that adjust to window size screen resolution and user preference

strictly code based, you understand your content more than I would

site map: is a machine readable xml file for search engines, human readable html sitemap indicates you have a crappy menu system

Its by far NOT the worst, but you may as well begin at the top

you cant guarantee the user will install a plugin other than the apple one
apple users, may be neo-luddites about other software
'the client(1*)' may have to go to a user friendly alternative, a html page, or other, to ensure the links are seen as links
for whatever reason those with authority decide, they have decided wrongly in this case
dependant on any third party addin, will probably fail

- properly written html travels well in email, works in page, in all devices

1* combine equal amounts of impossible, instantaneous, and angry, mix until 20 minutes before deadline, pour into mould, makes 1 client :)

this type="text/css">@import url('menu/menu_style.css"');</style means load the css file inside the menu subfolder of the current folder
doesnt work when you are in a subfolder because the menu folder is no longer a subfolder

<style type="text/css">@import url('http://www.yoursite.com/menu/menu_style.css');</style>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/menu/menu_style.css">

all work
take your pick

define sourcecode,
the part that makes it work, no,
the resultant html yes

do any of the database columns, if any used, or any other imported data include characters that when parsed could trick the parser into displaying this error
if an unsanitized data field included a ';' it may cause such an error

google do not have server delays
they have a large server system, scattered over most countries, with a very fast return time

a 380K bmp, its huge,
and at 2160 screen width, it pixellates 'remarkably'
looking at the image in the cache its about 150*125 repeat-x, if you cut just one tile of the background image and styled the div as
background:url('sliced-pig.jpg') repeat-x;
and wrote yellow times-roman 3em text over it

That must be the reason why everyone uses some kind of form mailer, to be able to easily html it

na its just an <a href='mailto ..... link, most people use a php mailer, even from one user to another, so they can keep a record of what is sent
great way to gather addresses for later mailouts

the standard for mailto allows the link to fill in certain defaults in the mail, add some text to the body
to include the tags in the link use the relevant html entity
< as &lt;
> as %gt;
there is bound to be a table of html entities somewhere easy to google and authored by <i>"".$author.""</i>";}

all the instruction pages "css background properties" et al, use a tiney<--spelled wrong i think--< size hyphen dash, cant see it
ya couldnt see mine till it was bold red either

no-repeat

one word hyphenated

ul#top-nav li#home { background: url(../images/button-home.png) no repeat; width:44px; wrong

ul#top-nav li#home { background: url('../images/button-home.png') no-repeat; width:44px; }

don't use px, no fixed measurements, creates problems--makes the page push offscreen (creates horizontal scroll bars, users do not scroll sideways, mice do not have hscroll wheels, users leave), on small displays
--makes the page sit as a strange looking central column in the middle of a wasteland of empty screen on large displays, in any other resolution/window size/screen size than what it was originally laid out on
pixels are generally only used for images
current best practice, layout is em or %, relative dimensions that auto-adjust to user preference screen size window size
and wont become smaller each time a new monitor standard is reached and the pixel mask gets smaller

these standard test beds may assist you-- replace yoursite.com with your uri

apache mod_rewrite, applied in the .htaccess files can display mysite.com/page.php?id=310 as mysite.com/page310.php ,

and the urls are 2way, so they can access page310.php as a typed url

(love that animation, not suggesting any lack of diligence on your part, such searches are easy if you already know what the rewrite module is called, just love that animation)

Matricol, typing slowly just for you,,
no mention of replacing end tags was made, you appear foolish

Svmr
browsers display differently some add a space where there is a carriage return in the source, some do not, better to ensure the space with a no-break space as written by vibhadevit above
the character string &nbsp; where you want a space to appear, after the first end anchor bla </a> &nbsp;

insert into table1 dataset1
insert into dable2 dataset2

reiterating what has been said before (shout) IT IS NOT POSSIBLE (/shout) to update a record that does not exist, update is not a synonym of insert

never underestimate stupidity

every view of your page copies the entire html into the browser cache, that is how html works

a) © me b) you can't

echo " <font color='red'>Category exists, process halted...</font><br />
this one also has no semi-colon

perhaps you should read to the end of the line, 28 in the source
its not wrong, just badly formatted

yes,

edit, gday ardav, & 'scuse me hadnt seen the prior answer

php versioning error ??
the new host has a later version of php than the old host
there is nothing getting $email $name $tour_link from the $_post array
version>php5.20 shouldnt they be declared somewhere

$email=$_post['email'];
$name=$_post['name'];
$tour_link=$_post['tour-link'];

or refer directly to the _post array value

and the isnumeric() in the last one-liner should have been is_numeric(), is_int() is better

welcome to the 1990s ?? you have missed all the techniques of the last 20 years

DONT DO IT
STOP DOING IT

slicing the web page does not speed it up
slicing the web page slows it down
each chunk of the sliced image adds another http request to the page size, the overhead of another transfer

does not reduce the page size
this is not current practice
the way to speed the page is to reduce http requests, small images are stitched into a larger one, and the image is disdplayed as a css sprite
same size of content, smaller size of overhead
styles are placed in stylesheets, script are placed in script files, are only downloaded once for the entire site, no matter how many pages are loaded

finally buttoned down if() shorthand
marvelous

$euros = $_POST['euros'];
$cents = $_POST['cents'];
if(is_numeric($euros) && is_numeric($cents)) { $salary = $euros + ($cents / 100); }
else die('non-numeric inputs');

oneline code

isnumeric($_POST['euros']) && isnumeric($_POST['cents']) ? $salary=$_POST['euros']+($_POST['cents']/100):die('non-numeric inputs');

salaryfl;oat appears unneccessary

I dont think you are approching this from the right direction

the user is presented with a login form
the for requests a username and password
the password is hashed and the hash and username are $_post-ed to the server on submit

>> should mean that >> when the select is performed there is only a single user name returned, there are no rows to step through

<?php
$host=""; // Host name
$username=""; // Mysql username
$password=""; // Mysql password
$db_name=""; // Database name
$tbl_name="users"; // Table name

// Connect to server and select database.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");

// Retrieve data from database
$sql="SELECT FROM $tblname WHERE name='$_POST[\"name\"]'" ;
$result=mysql_query($sql);
if(!$result['password']==$_submit['hash']) die('incorrect login details'); // yeah its crap code
?>
<table width="100%" border="0">
<tr><td colspan="2"><strong>This is your profile -</strong></td></tr>
<tr><td><? echo $result['name']; 
mysql_close();
?>

not verified code, its after midnight & drinkin

any of an unlimited number of $session variables set in the page you wish to link from, search for in the page you wish to land on

perhaps dumb, but what is the root setting on the wamp install?

why not google it:: php encryption tutorial

href=\"./admin/login.php\">Login </a>\n"; ??

your current code, show it,
it is easy to add a column to the user table & use the same script that is used to verify the user at login, to get the random number
or create another table for the id and number

the same table for a single extra column

id, autoincremenmt int
name varchar
password_hash varchar
number int

select from table where id = $_Session number

Content, is the greatest factor, but there has to be someone linking to it, the most important idea is not much good unless its knkown about
goto the google webmaster tools page
read & follow the instructions
Google appear to have a pretty good idea, about what search engines expect,, :P
avoid all promises of instant results, doesnt work
takes time

document.write('this is a basic Javascript');

<--staggers off, giggling drunkly

an iframe is simple html let me google that for you

it is considered to be extremely bad form, theft of bandwidth, theft of information, to embed someone else's content in your site without consent, ask first
most sites have a framebreaker embedded to stop theft such as this

if(window != top){if(top.location.href.indexOf("translate")<0){top.location.replace(self.location.href);}}

if this file is not the parent.
if this file is not being translated by google etc
replace the top file with my site

another reason to avoid dreamweaver

the error is not in the code suplied
php runs on the server, this code must be ok as it works

show the code of the upload form page, likely one of IE's document quirks has been triggered by that form

ok without name callingfor making this post,

there is NO possibility that the request from 2 different machines even if they are in the same room on the same router, took the same path to the server,
the absolute impossibility that any person pushed the send key at the same time on two pcs within the millisecond tolerance of time()
of course they arrived at the server at different times,
of course the server had a different work load during the execution of the two requests
of course the returned html took different paths to the remote pc, took different times to render on different browsers and different times to displaytime() is the timestamp of that moment,
time() is not a timer
it is a snapshot of the unix clock WHATEVER you were trying to time,
the famous "It", of the op
which of course the thread does not state, will take a different time to execute every time it is run

now what are you trying to accomplish and show the code you are using to try and accomplish it with, between [code] and [/code] tags

PS, thanks for a giggle, seriously what are you trying to accomplish ?

just css
absolute positioning of the div that contains the menu, and >0 z-index to allow other content to slide under
a background set with the little triangle for the active choice
all in css

its a pisspoor implentation using javascript addons that are not neccessary, parts of the menu slide offscreen when the page pans

the google search should be css menu

'I am very new at web development"; yeah, guessed that,
with more experience you wouldnt ask the question
unless you built another google, big fat hairy deal
site isnt unique, the information is available from a hundred(at least) other sources
google maps provide routes to them all as well

every part of your site is in the user browser cache,
anyone who wants to can read it,
anyone who wants the code knows more than you do about how to get it

I tend to use lockouts on correctly set items

if isset($_post['day']) { echo "<input type='text' name='day'  disabled='disabled' value='$_POST['day']'>"; }
else {
 echo '<select name="day" id="day">';
 for ($day_nam = 1; $day_nam <= 31; $day_nam++)   { echo "<option value='$day_nam'>$day_nam</option>";  }
 echo '</select>';
}

havent tested the code, just an option

dunno what i did to make that red, cute
