the background image occupies the window and text slides over it as if written on a glass sheet,
the user sees no difference to a stretched image, the background is always in place, except the image is not distorted and stretched to fit a 2500px(example) high page

look at this demonstration and see if it changes your mind

Re: Form isn't working.

its easy in php, perl, python any serverside script
if your host includes a \cgi-bin folder off the root(the usual place for cgi scripts) Big Nosed Bird has a great, easy, internally documented, piece of cake to install and operate form handler freeware

the forms generated by the link posted immediately above still require a server handler to submit to, "form processor" in their documentation in php, if the host does not supply a sendmail handler server scripting (php asp),or access to cgi, for this account there are a number of hosted mail servers

it is possible to generate a link that accesses the user's email client to send directed prefilled mail on a single click, the names and details fields usually required for a serverside mail may have to be entered, but there is small chance of the email address being faked, something like

<a href="mailto:myaddress@myhost.com?subject=Mysite Web page Enqiry&body=Enquiry from Mysite, 'Contact Us' page.%0A%0aI am seeking further information on%0AItem __________%0A%0AItem __________%0A%0AItem __________%0A">email us</a>

Re: Image stretch in CSS

why not
fix the background in place and have the content scroll over it

Re: Insertion and Fetching

table design seems wrong
as a transaction table there should be no totals
as a totals table there should be no transactions
there is no indexed column to link it to the customer table

ditch frontpage,

ditch all the fixed sizes, they dont work on anybody's browser except yours current best practice is em and % for screen layout not px

Re: imput field colour change

thanks for reminding me about onblur. that was just added stuff its not incorrct anyways. this is a javascript forum. if u want css, which u have no reason to post all that code really if u just want a transparent background for a few input boxes.. then its done like this(this is a javascript forum tho.. ok)
input.tags{width:255px;background:transparent}
<input class="tags">

without casting any rocks,
the forum is javascript, does not make the solution best done in javascript
lots of questions get asked, and answers given, that would be better asked in another forum,
SQL in php,
presentation in javascript

there is always another way, sometimes a better way, always a better way than inline anything for every tag,
maintenance becomes horrible

Re: Background not showing

that css is good except I always .footer {bottom:0;left:0,top:auto;right:auto;width:100%;height:xxx;background:url('image.png') repeat-x;} for footer positioning, seems to work fairly often

** My twisted mind at work **
what have you done in outer elements like <body> and <html> that may cause screwups
margins and paddings inherit, so a padding on the body, inherited by the footer may push the image outside the boundaries of the footer element, ,
the image is in my tif, and shows up in the debuglist of page elements, so is being accessed

not sure, havent looked at the whole css file,
but check any padding settings,
and/or
explicitly set padding-bottom and margin-bottom to 0, at the end of any css thats sets a margin or padding in the file, to check the possibiliity

Re: PHP ?

the first part of your question negates the possibility of your accomplishing the second part

PHP is a script language, a server language that enables web pages to be dynamic, to generate content in response to user actions, in its simplest incarnation
less simple incarnations its my booking site
in more complex incarnations it is PayPal Hotels.com kijiji ebay acer
it is free software so every pimpled schoolkid can write it
for support, you are about ten years, and several hundred dozen good programmers, too late

Re: Browser Display Problem

too easy, , ,
the w3c code validators provide more than a list of errors, they provide a list of suggested corrections
work through top to bottom
often there are half as many errors as it seems
html is linear everything is handled in the order it is typed in

If you fix an error on line 1 that is the cause of an error on line 99, the error on line 99 goes away too

its definitely not the worst code, there have been problems that just display blank screens, in everything

hands up everyone who has done that
(no hands but mine?? you are all lying HA HA HA)

Re: imput field colour change

incorrect

<input gtbfieldid="21" name="NOW">

correct

<input type='text' gtbfieldid="21" name="NOW

requires a type

dont get grumpy
the Q shows exactly what you have to change

input field REQUIRES A TYPE

likely your button requires a type too, its a 'submit' perhaps
incorrect markup fails interestingly in browsers. Quirks mode does not display well, often does not display at all
the recommended fixes, to add the required type to the input fields and
now
to any other fields that have required attributes,

whether you DO it is up to you

a good code editor would not permit you to make this error,
as soon as you type <input
a good editor completes it to <input type="

Re: Browser Display Problem

read any of the threads, Tables Vs CSS
tables do not display well anywhere
fixed pixel sizes do not display well anywhere
inline styles do not display well anywhere,

the code is out of whack, start and end tags are misaligned
You have a lone </td> outside of the <tbody>, not in a <tr>
for a code compliant browser that will cause problems
html errors will put browsers into quirks mode, which is different for every browser, and may caus the page to fail in spectacular fashion

<tag1><tag2></tag1></tag2> does not work
<tag1><tag2></tag2></tag1> is required
try to get the inline styles into the external stylesheet that is already being used, 1 style declared once is much smaller than 1 style for each tag, so much faster, easier to correct

Re: minimize window

In all the styles of your css section are set margin-left:200px; margin-right:500px; and other similar settings
if the window is less than 700px wide and you have a margin set at a total of 700px, the page will fail
likewise fixed size fonts will fail
fixed size ANYTHING will fail,
onresizing the window
current best practice per W3c guidelines is em and % for screen layout
margins are set in %, fonts are set in em
bot are relative sizes that adjust to user preference, screen resolution and window size, ensuring the page works in just about any device from a handheld ipad to a widescreen monitor
px are a ridiculous choice for sizing, on this monitor 10px is 0.08inch high, extremeley unreadable

the size of the array of images is x, but the images are image[0] to image [x-1]
so the script is trying to display image[x] that does not exist and not displaying image[0] that does exist

Re: Radio button and textbox

look up the html <select> tag
the name and value are set,automatic once the <select><option> is chosen, there is no need for any crap with buttons and text boxes
there is no need to calculate anything before submission to the database

for each appplicable question select from database question_name max_value
echo '$question_name <select name=$question_name>';for $i < $max_value
echo '<option value=$i> $i </option>';
$i++echo '</select>';not a code sample a logic example

Re: Radio button and textbox

populate a select box from zero to the maximum value for the question stored in the database
demo thought process, not code
read max_value from database
for $I < max value
echo <option value=$i>$i</option>
$I++

JUST THOUGHT PROCESS NOT EXPANDED TO ANY USEABLE CODE

Re: my menu is hide under flash

either edit the style, and change the z-index as noted to put the menu in front of the slideshow, or change the location of the div containing the .swf top: ; left: ; to put it below the menu in the pagenote::; those numbers should be dimensioned (as px pt em %) only zero(0) is permitted to be dimensionless

Re: what is html 5? do i have to change my site to be html5?

Thank you very much. I understand the Doctype much better now and why I need to use it. Dreamweave auto puts that info in when I create new pages. Yes, I try to check my web pages with different browsers, mainly I.E..

grab a thumbdrive (no install, registry-less, portable apps) version of firefox that you can either install on a thumbdrive or just drop in a folder on the pc, sure that the code works in the majority, minor browser.
the no-install version wont take over, just sit there till you open it
if the page works in IE and firefox, close to a motza that it will work in everything else

http://www.browsershots.org is good, but the delay between requests and returned screenshots makes its use as a development tool, pointless

Re: tables vs css

consistent layout with css, when you go from
'my first website',
'my second website',
to
'my database driven website',

exactly what content will be on a page,
built on the server in response to prior page queries,
knowing the layout will work is vital

Re: Anchor: Not active when div is displayed

How can people provide a solution when the code you've given doesn't do anything?

like this

Venom, this may provide the solution without js BS

.link { font-size:12px; font-weight:bold; color:#666666; text-decoration:none; text-align:center; cursor:pointer; }
.link:hover { text-decoration:underline; }
.imageHolder { width:236px; height:236px; background-color:#EBEBEB; text-align:left; }
#overlay_white { display:none; float:left; position:absolute; margin:0; padding:0;}
#overlay_white:hover { display:block; float:left; position:absolute; margin:0; padding:0;}

<a class="link">
<div id="overlay_white">overlay image goes here</div>
<div class="imageHolder">news image goes here</div>
</a>

if sisplay:block; fails display:inline; will work, its been a long time since I had to set up any new css, I get messed about with which works where
