How weird. I think I would forward this to your host and see if they can investigate.

I believe it's PunBB.

Without a way to test this on the fly, I'm not sure if my suggestion will work, but this is something that John/shelfimage has helped me with on numerous occasions and this is how he does it.
Can you try placing the z-index on the #menus li ul and try bumping it way up? I had the same issue on this website (hover over Products) and the way he solved it was to use #menu li ul {z-index: 100;}. Instead of placing it on the li, it's on the child ul.
I hope this makes sense. These things always challenge me. :/
ETA: The website I showed you....ugh. Ignore all the image issues. My client takes care of all maintenance and it did NOT look like this when I handed it over.

Personally, I won't develop a website without implementing a CMS anymore. Joomla is a CMS (content management system) as is WordPress, CMS Made Simple, Expression Engine, and others. The #1 reason I use a CMS on every site I develop for my clients is that it gives them the power to edit their content on their own. I don't have time to make small edits and tweaks to the text and images on my clients' websites. Using a CMS allows them to log in and make those changes themselves. When they need help or when they need advanced work done, they contact me, but no longer am I changing words here and there.
I create the design in Photoshop, slice the images, write the HTML/CSS by hand, and then implement the CMS code. So, I'm still creating the websites from scratch.....then I plug in the CMS and power it up!
And my personal favorite at the moment is WordPress because it's easy to use, search engines loves sites that use it, and there are lots of plugins available for extended functionality.
-
mayku,
I agree with Ben. Also, you might want to take a look at some of the themes (both free and paid) found on these sites to get an idea of what WordPress is capable of...
-
So in general' date=' when would you recommend CMS vs. Wordpress - or vice versa?[/quote']Seconded. ....I use WordPress as a CMS all the time. My website is powered by WordPress. I also use CMS Made Simple a lot, too. These days, I'm recommending WordPress more to my clients because of its fantastic SEO properties. If I have a client who needs an extensive catalog, but not necessarily a shopping cart, I sometimes find CMS MS easier to use.
-
Nice, Ben!
Did you use the WP Ecommerce plugin? That thing is a bear.... Did you have to do a lot of template customization or have they added to their template choices?

When viewing with Fx 3.5.5 I do not get a javascript error.
I'm not good with javascript, so I don't know how to help you. But I was wondering if you've seen this: http://www.i-marco.nl/weblog/jquery-accordion-menu-redux/. I believe it will stay open when clicking on subpages. I used this in a past design of mine and I think it worked like that....

I'm sure there will be various answers depending upon who you ask, but in my mind a brochure style website is one that showcases a company's products and services without a shopping cart. I think of it like an online version of a print brochure. And I think of a catalogue website as one powered by a shopping cart so that visitors can make online purchases.

Do you mean you want a different photo to display each time the page is loaded or are you looking for a rotating slideshow type thing?
If it's the slideshow you're after, I like the JQuery Cycle Plugin.
-
It's not free, but someone here recommended PagePlus X4 to me and I love it: http://www.serif.com/PagePlus/ . You can edit any PDF with it.
-
Personally, I would just use © 2009 and not even 2009 - 2009. And then somewhere on the page, I would make sure I put something like "Established in...." or "Providing excellent service for xxx years..."
-
Well, there are a lot of issues with the code as Andrea mentioned, but as far as the footer goes, I have often found that if you declare a width (rather than use 100%), Internet Explorer will play along. So, try adding width:735px; and float:right; to the footer. It works for me: check here.
-
Linda,
Is the footer supposed to extend the full width of the main container or is it supposed to just be at the bottom of the right column? I uploaded it and it shows one way in Firefox/Safari/Opera and another way in Internet Explorer.
-
Have you tried redownloading the theme and then reuploading it to your server? Since the error says "No such file or directory...", that's the first thing I would try.

On our old forum setup, we were allowed to have signatures. I admit it was nice to have, but I think Stef decided to disable them here was because so many spammers were posting just to put their links out there.

Eh? "I always paste the content into Notepad prior "
Explaineth pleath big_smile
Sorry.
Prior to pasting the text into the program, I paste it into Notepad first and then copy it from there. This will strip out all the formatting from Word and make it plain text. -
Sounds cool, but I see where it could be useless if nobody else in your circle has it.
-
Yes, Word will do that to you every time. I always paste the content into Notepad prior and I always paste into the HTML view rather than Code view so I can catch the mistakes before it messes everything up.

Have you guys seen this? http://clientsfromhell.tumblr.com/ Good for a laugh or two.
The site isn't easy to navigate, though. Click on archives on the right side to see everything. ( http://clientsfromhell.tumblr.com/archive )

I know I could search for the answer, but what is Google Wave anyway? I see it all over my Twitter feed, but I've no clue what it is!

I have been busy preparing for a job interview (which was yesterday), so I haven't had a chance to take a close look until now. I remembered the link.
I think it looks good, Eric. I only noticed 2 issues on my end. First, the testimonials container doesn't hold all the text making the last line look cut in half. Second, I realize that to get back to the home page, I can just click Video, but I also found myself wanting to click the logo. Can you make that clickable?
Good luck with it! Have you thought about ways to advertise?

Did you see my 2nd post? I added the table-row and it worked. I saw where it's supposed to be assumed, but maybe not in this instance? I don't know....
-
Okay, I just played with it a little and was able to remove the space.
#row {
display:table-row;
}
#navigation {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align:top;
width: 200px;
border: 1px solid red;
}
#content {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align:top;
width: 570px;
background: #639d3b;
padding: 0 25px;
border: 1px solid yellow;
}
And then I added a new containing div called #row inside the #main div. It works for me in Firefox 3.5.4.
I got the idea from here:
http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2008/02/28/table-based-layout-is-the-next-big-thing/
A longstanding bug in Firefox makes it necessary to add a second containinginside the "body"and set it to display: table-row. Otherwise, the layout will often break when it initially loads.

I have no idea about how it happened, and I would be mad, too! Which hosting company do you use? I DESPISE those canned answers that don't answer the question!!
