Yes, it was considered an advantage to have left handed riflement, to be easily able to watch the arcs on the other side.
spiral staircases in medieavl castles, are likewise, orienmted for the better protection of right handed defenders, wield ing a sword, than for right handed attackers.
there is a significant body of discussion on handedness in the military, junior offr are taught to maximise the potential of their backhnaded troops

likely a paste-in error, copying from editor to the codehandler on the page, posting a pretty tight code

ie specific codes, once you discover what the fault is, "Some of the functions do not work well" is very difficult to debug

The thread is kinda-sorta jumbled so I can't tell if its solved or not but you might consider using the z-index tag. Pretty much you can use that to layer everything one after the other. 1 is the lowest layer and the higher the number the higher in the stack it is.

For a reference look at the layout of the layers used in my website

-infinity < z-index < +infinity, default 0
much broader range than expressed, with an appropriate number of discrepancies in IE handling (as always)

making a form does NOT mean someONE has to fill it
thats what computers do, automate
its just a post request populated from a list
you just sit back and wait while the data flows in

if phpinfo() produces a screen full of data, examine the include file, if there is a missing ; missing ?> missing anything, the expected output may be lost so the menu is not appearing
not likely, but the errors as they are occuring are not likely

or

<?php if(!isreadable("php/functions.php")) {echo 'cant find include file';} ?>

is the file readable given the filespec, if errors are off the include would fail without notice
./php/
php/

give the vanish/visible elements a higher z-index and opaque background, then when you display them they will fly over the other text, be readable, and vanish when closed

<script type="text/javascript">

if (dom) {document.getElementById(id).style.visibility='hidden';}

function showIt2(id) {
if (dom) {document.getElementById(id).style.visibility='visible';}
if (document.layers) {document.layers[id].visibility='show';} }
--></script>

I know, get the css out in the css file :)
I know, 2 DOM types is almost redundant but there are still old versions of firefox out there :P
the script will show or hide any element by its id, reusable

just finished reading a part of the msdn technet on migrating to asp.net
no wonder the dinos think its too hard

Its not for security
its because many of the servers between the user and your server may only display a limited character set, and a restricive part of that.
other characters in file names, / [space] etc
those other characters may cause the request to be lost in its journey between user and server
htmlspecialchars causes those characters to be replaced by the escape code of the character, and the request passes all the dumb servers in the path and is accepted
here is a link to the operation of htmlspecialchars, I LIKE the animated bit
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=http%3A%2F%2Fphp.net%2Fmanual%2Fen%2Ffunction.htmlspecialchars.php&l=1

php source code is NOT supposed to show when viewing the rendered page, only the output html
would suggest you do a little reading
you are changing the process to suit your preconceptioons, instead of using the process as it works

in css instead of bothering with tables, and having each table cell alter in size by screen resolution, text size, window size, user preference,
you can tell the browser to make eg, a logo, 25% wide 25% high translucent and sit behind the text
have a footer sit at the bottom of the page, regardless of page height (see below) popup displays when you mouseover(image at left of post) or click an object(the arrows above right of post), far better than the alt text usually associated, with images
and other elements resizing to suit the full range of display screens and window sizes from telephones 200*200, to the 8 foot wall projection I get to play with after hours,

from the first tutorial lesson its always an "AHA moment" you can always find another way to use what is essentially a very simple set of rules

css positioned block elements,
css styled appearance
<div> <p>
smaller faster more consistent display over multiple pages
easy debug, maintaining a site with table layout pages is tedious
tables are just bad practice, if you are learning, stay current

would even go so far as to suggest installing netbeans, or another IDE that includes current best practice
If you prefer to work on your own a code highlighting editor like notepad++ or notepad2

good editors use code highlighting to indicate mismatched elements far better than any indenting can

stop
do not use tables,
go do www.w3schools.com and do some tutorials on the right way to layout your page

and when you program anything in html5
>75% of users will not be able to access it, provide a html4/xHtml compatible alternate method

css style

a:link {text-decoration:none; }
a:hover { }
a:active { }
a:visited { }

Why is Google having trouble scanning my sitemap? I'm running my blog on Tumblr and Tumblr generates a sitemap for you.

have you checked the sitemap that tumblr generates
if its not valid xml it will downgrade the site rating
have you submnitted the sitemap to google
If you dont do it yourself, you cant trust the doing

this is a link to the howto page for Kooltabs, the tab system in your page http://doc.koolphp.net/Controls/KoolTabs/Javascript/KoolTabsItem_Class/index.php
you can then configure it in anyway you like

yes, take a screen shot and include it as an <img>

Its doing precisely what you told it to
#container min-height:100% height:100%
plus the size of the footer

remove the height statements, they are redundant anyway

the DOM you dont recognize is for early netscape & mozilla based browsers,

good practice to support everything, especially when its only a single line of conditional code
belt and braces, versions of mozilla based browsers(firefox) for linux BEOS etc do not support getelementbyid
in a few computer centuries (months), such support will be unncessary, but till everybody uses the same windows12 and ie33, , ,
its good practice to ensure compatibility with other OS/browser combinations

floatval() is to convert the text variable to a numeric <form method=get action="Grade.php"> should be <form method='get' action="Grade.php"> dependant on html doctype used, it makes a big difference

<button id="frorm" onClick="showIt('layer1');">OPEN</button>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
(document.getElementById) ? dom = true : dom = false;
function hideIt(ID) {
if (dom) {document.getElementById(ID).style.visibility='hidden';}
if (document.layers) {document.layers[ID].visibility='hide';} }
function showIt(ID) {
if (dom) {document.getElementById(ID).style.visibility='visible';}
if (document.layers) {document.layers[ID].visibility='show';} }
--></script>
<div id="layer1" style="position:fixed; left:10px; z-index:10; width:50%; visibility:hidden; padding:10px; margin:10px; background:#ececec; border: 1px solid;">
<button id="form1" onclick="hideIt('layer1');">Close</button>

<button id="form" onclick="hideIt('layer1');">Close</button></div>

multiple divs can be hidden.shown by their id
styling belongs in the stylesheet, this sample is not optimal

take the positioned footer outside of any other container, else it is position relative to the container, not the screen

<div id="container">
<div id="main">
<div id="terms">// content
</div> // closing terms 
</div> // closing main
</div> // closing container
<div id="footer"> content </div>

show the code used to call the file,
is ?n1text=60 in the link
is $_get the right array, $_post $_request ?

try

<?php $A=floatval($_GET['n1text']); // if it is not possible for $a to have a decimal component or if the decimal part is not significant intval() can be used
if($A>=60) { echo "Congrats!!!<br>Grade1"; }
elseif($A <60 and $A >= 40) { echo "Grade2";  }
else { echo "Fail"; } ?>

60 was excluded in the op, > 60 or < 60, no =60

$a is likely being treated as text, by convention all the request arrays are parsed as text, so the original value may be interpreted as "60"

This is difficult, I dont have thoughts often enough to post one a day

thats easier, I thought you wanted them all to adjust
to make one column absorb all the width of the 100% make the first cell in that column <td width='*'>content</td> it should then occupy the entire table except for the width actually used by the other cells

rephrased,
to the limits of the table size which in this case is set to full window width (100%)
if you want the whole table to adjust, remove the width statement from the table declaration and each column will adjust to its widest content
tables do not work that way, the column is the width of the widest cell in the column, the row is the height of the highest cell in the row,
the table is a collection of squares, even if the cell in column1 row3 is 3characters wide
column one, and therefore all the cells within in will be the width of the cell in column1 row4 which is 40 characters wide
the column or row fits 'tightly' around the largest column,

examine style text-align:right; on the columns containing the names

tables dont work that way
tables present tabular data in tabular form, SQUARE
the column is the width of the largest cell
the row is the height of the largest cell

If you dont want a square layout, dont use tables

at least it means your host is using php5.3 (>=5.27 anyway) the handling of round() was altered to comply with some standard
http://php.net/manual/en/function.round.php

echo round($Worksheet->Cells->Item($i,2),0,PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP);

'standards' is not intuituve, behaves WRONG

not applied to table cells
applied to tables, divs
block level elements only
