remove the target attribute and see if the pdf opens properly in the same page
seems dumb but pdf is a proprietary format and not all implementations in browsers work always

is this an html or xhtml page, if xhtml the image tag isnt closed

Re: divs overlapping on browser resize

remove all the defined height:s
when the page is resized text may wrap on second lines and disappear behind div boundaries
a liquid layout sets only width and allows the height to be set by the browser
if two elements of diferent sizes are required to occupy the same vertical space, you enclose them in another element as a wrapper

wrapper dimensioned 100%, is wrong, some browsers restrict that to of screen height, others to 100% of logical document height **edit I dont know how to do it 'right' how to make it the same size in different browsers **

as craigdo wrote, users do not scroll sideways, they leave

the copyright notice resides in the footer ?
pictures of the owner of what you are stealling?

or contact the site owner and ask them permission and/or a copy of the page to put on your server

Re: CSS background image change on hover

alteration to harrierdh's technically correct answer
put the preload script between </body> and </html>
preload in the head slows down the page load by a considerable amount
having the 'extra' images load last after the page is functioning makes the apparent page load faster
valid code requires type attribute

if javascript is turned offf in the browser javascript preload will not work and can be something like

<noscript>
<div style='display:none;'>
<img src="http://mydomain.com/image.gif" alt='' width='0' height='0'>
<img src="http://mydomain.com/image.gif2" alt='' width='0' height='0'>
<img src="http://mydomain.com/image.gif999" alt='' width='0' height='0'>
</div>
</noscript>
</body>
<script type='text/javascript'>
 preimage = new Image(); 
 preimage.src="http://mydomain.com/image.gif";
preimage2 = new Image(); 
 preimage2.src="http://mydomain.com/image2.gif";

Re: need the background effect fit at all resolution without scrollbar at bottom

This type of site background is a vertical -narrow*LONG- image repeat-x
create the gradient fill you want or download it from a webmaster tools website
take a narrow (even 1pixel works) slice vertically

body {background:url('thispic.href') repeat-x; }

If you take a horizontal slice wider than screen size and repeat-y you get Horizontal scrollbars everybody will notice
If you take a vertical slice longer than screen size and repeat-x, you get vertical scrollbars, nobody will notice

If you have a small image of a repeating cell (like windows default wallpapers) you can repeat-x and y (repeat) and create a fullscreen

the free webspace at isp is often accessed differently
If using a control panel, read the help screens about exactly where the files go, and how to access can't stress how much the placement is dependent on the provider
my free space files go in the html_public folder and are accessed as http://users.isp.com/~loginname

Re: Help!! Need to upload my website to Host

when you load http://www.thissite.com what you actually get is http://www.thissite.com/index.html the server displays the derfault filename from its list of default names or gives an error

It sort of annoying when the server list runs htm html php and you upload a new version of the site in php, and the old version still runs as html, took days to notice

either move all files & folders up one level so your index.htm|hrtml|php is in the root, or put a new index file in the root redirecting to the subfolder <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.thissite.com/folder/"> <<-one of many redirect methods
the second choice is better if you plan to later host two(or more) sites on the same space

for an edit delete page
code an sql report that echos the database to the screen matching whatever you have input

echo "<input type='text' name='name' value='$sqlresults['name']'>";

Re: Help!! Need to upload my website to Host

Thanks,
From the control panel I have many options, one of which is the
"File Manager"
I assume this is where to manage the files
once uploaded how to I make the website "live"
Thanks!

the control panel file manager is not the best way to manage files,
the descriptive text explains the filemanager as when you don't have access to an ftp program.
a standalone ftp client usint ftp settings supplied by the host, is much better, as thunderbird is better than a webmail interface
ftp allows synchronizing, you dont have to remember what files are altered
allows better access control

this new,
should read the helpscreens on the control panel about ftp and install one of the listed ftp cllients -the listed clients usually have detailed howtos in the control panel helpscreens

I remember,
such a sense of achievement when I got the first site running.
a greater achievement when it was running right

that is the best answer you are going to find, accurate and simple, code compliant, current practice, proper use of styling.

as a visual aid

you can create/move/edit a box inside another box easily, change its border, change its margins, change its content, if you want to change part in a box, you draw another box around the part and change that

Re: Date/time from SQL - error with getting it to display from database

The timestamp field is configurable to give the results needed, you have to read the manuals,
I use a smallint in the table, using timestamps to populate the field, and storing the value as a timestamp produce different results, default formatting screws up my implementations, (too lazy to read the mysql manual)
timestamp will be stored as 1234567890 (10 digit numeric)(text datetime to store the same details may be 50-60 bytes)
MYSQL now() php date() produce a 10 digit numeric (currently 1261288923 by the time you read this the last digits will have incremented by the time since posting)
then the text is output as required by per the php date frunction
smaller tables, faster operations, indexes that return correct results (sorting on date fields often produce unexpected results December comes before November ( Apr Aug Dec Feb Jan Jul Jun Mar May Nov Oct Sep)when you sort a text field)
output configurable to user preference, date formats can be stored in the user table
So I prefer this way to having to work out how to work with the default values stored in the timestamp datatype

Re: Date/time from SQL - error with getting it to display from database

If you are taking a limit you should order by the most relevant field, so the 20 most recent, etc are chosen. $result = mysql_query("select * from epdata order by setreminder LIMIT 20;"); , example only, irelevant if the index is the most relevant field
a text date/time is very difficult to order by, and means different things to different people
a timestamp is easier

Re: Date/time from SQL - error with getting it to display from database

Do not use any text date format, it will always be wrong for 90% of the world
numeric timestamps use less storage, are faster on compare, can be output to any user/regional/whatever preference, and can be manipulated easier

a function appears in the manual does not mean it is the most efficient

Re: does anybody recognize this script

to avoid popups use layers
make them visible or not

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
(document.getElementById) ? dom = true : dom = false;
function hideIt(thiselement) {
if (dom) {document.getElementById(thiselement).style.visibility='hidden';}
if (document.layers) {document.layers[thiselement].visibility='hide';} }
function showIt(thiselement) {
if (dom) {document.getElementById(thiselement).style.visibility='visible';}
if (document.layers) {document.layers[thiselement].visibility='show';} }
--></script>
<a id="me" href='#' onClick="showIt('hideable');">Show </a><span id='hideable'  style="position:fixed; top:20px; left:10px; width:45%; visibility:hidden; padding:10px; margin:10px; background:#ececec; border: 1px solid;">put ADVERTISING here<br><button id="frrm" onClick="hideIt('hideable');">Close</button></span>

Re: Parse error

In case you are really newyou get error line 46,
the file has 45 lines in it,
and the visible error was on line 28 line count as the file executes considers includes as part of the file
there were 18 processed lines in the included filestook half a year before anyone told me, its hard to debug when the errors seem weirda lot of the code samples you get from searches arent perfect, but they make a great jumping off point

Re: Hyper links instead of buttons

If you want to do it that way(a tidy, browser independent, way to do it ) $url = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

Re: Hyper links instead of buttons

dunno, but style the input.submit

input.submit {background:none;border:0;color:#ff0000; }

<input type='submit' style="background:none;border:0;color:#ff0000;" value='something'>

Re: Flash Intros

And of course the other thing to consider with a 100% flash site is what are you going to do if people don't have flash installed? Are you going to have a non-flash version of your site for people without flash? or are you simply going to write them off?

Good point
large corporates, many of who use flash in their websites block flash from being installed on pc on the lan
the big dollar customers won't see the fancy work
and may block the site entirely because of flash
I know the control I have over the access point between my lan and the www,
I do it to annoy my kids

Re: Flash Intros

Flash sucks
flash intros penalise in search, annoy your customers
anything that makes the page load longer, kills customer retention

Re: HTML Validation why bother?

"one warning" is always, for direct entered html, 'utf-8 assumed', just in case a non-translateable code is used
