  1. Ben, I see the issue. When he hovers over the buttons it doesn't hover except only over the text portion whereas in FX the hover works when hovering over any part of the button. Not sure why display: block is not working but when I apply the height it seems to make things a bit worse.
  2. The core of the video lessons is still the same it's just that the tutorial's version of phpmyadmin differs from yours.
  3. Here's a list that is dated in 2008: Web Safe Font More about Web Safe Fonts It's possible to supply fonts that are not web safe by using some script function in which you wound then require to upload the font to your server so that visitors can view the fonts they way you intended it to. Beyond web safe font: Cufon Google has started a new program that provides free fonts that are a bit more stylish than the normal web safe fonts. Google Font API
  4. When you have a site like blogger.com that is hosting your blog it is their benefit when it comes to SEO. I suggest one of two things: 1. Check with blogger.com to see if they have any plugin, code or something that will allow you to extract post snippets and have them show up on your site's domain. I seriously doubt they would have anything like that. or 2. Set up your own blog on your own domain using Wordpress. Self hosting blogs, ecommerce stores, etc are for the benefit of the one who provides such services. Not to say that it's a bad service but just not ideal for those that have their own domain in which they want all the traffic to come thru it. If you choose to self-host your own blog then the other thing to keep in mind is the traffic to the new blog on your own domain. You will have to get those visitors redirected to the new url. If you have a email data list then be sure to notify all your current subscribers of the new blog url location.
  5. When it comes to menus, I use full paths when working on sites that has multiple folders. For instance, I have a site that has ecommerce(asp) in one folder, blog(php) in another, gallery(php) in another, etc. Each will use the header/footer (1 asp and 2 php) wrap to give the site the same look throughout. Even though you still have 3 or more headers to work with when it comes to editing it you can easily set up include files within those headers such as a menu. When doing this you will then need to only edit one file to update all your headers' menu regardless if it's php, asp or both. (yes you can run php on a windows server). The menu file will have to be saved as a .txt or .htm (or html) file so that each of the header's includes can render it without problems.
  6. I got to wonder if index.html has php coding in it because the pages that does work have .php extensions. I agree with the others, need a link so we can see what you have so far.
  7. Are you using a CRT monitor? Color abnormality is common for monitors that has aged. In most cases using a demagnitizer will clear that up. If using LCD, again, not uncommon for it to be off a bit in color. If I am not mistaken, some LCD have two bulbs..upper and lower. In most cases you can actually see lines of a page imprinted on the screen (screen burn) but that goes away and never really makes a permanant burn like CRTs do. You can simple turn off your LCD for about 5 minutes and all is new or just navigate away from whatever window you are on to another and it will soon clear up. If the top of your LCD is brighter than the lower then it's possible the bulb may be getting ready to burn out. Typcially, it should give you about 20,000 hours or roughly about 5-6 years based on 10 hours a day usage. Some models last longer. I believe mine is 40,000 hours and at times I tend to have color distortion. Mine is going on 6 years old.
  8. I don't see the issue. I used my color picker and found that both #navigation and #footer background match (#8F181C)
  9. That's a new one. Not sure if this makes a difference but typcially, I apply the hex color at the end of the shorthand. border-right: 5px solid #fff;
  10. I concur. Nothing wrong with posting articles/contents from another person(s) so long as the poster provides the source. Otherwise, the only thing the poster will gain from it is a bad image.
  11. If that is the case then have him search the net and find sites that he likes as a go by. He can also point out different functionallities from various sites that he would like to have. Otherwise, if he cannot communicate well to give you a good visual, he will have to draw something up himself to give you a clear picture. It's not always easy to get something out of your head and onto paper.
  12. As for the legal stuff, in a nutshell you just can't take the code, repackage it and sell as your own without getting written permission. Some require that you do not remove any copyright from within the code but most will allow you to remove it visually from the rendered page. It's not a problem if you are building a site for a client using such programs because you are doing the work (i.e. intall, graphical design, design template implementation, custom code changes to the core files, ect). Online cart tend to have a bit of different legal stuff altogether.
  13. I know nothing of this shopping cart. Based on the code you've provide it seems that you can place in the area where you want to appear. However, we can determine this unless we can see your site with the cart. As for the icon images, again, not familiar with that shopping cart. Nevertheless, I did notice that one of script (add to cart) has an image tag that points to that ejunkie site. You could try replacing that path with your image file. It should work but I do not know it will behave when checking out because it may throw a SSL security error.
  14. You ought to search out other comparible high school drama sites and see how they match up to what they are wanting. Sometimes client thinks what's cool to them is not really cool at all after the site is finished and launched. By then, it's too late to afford a change.
  15. I'm incline to believe that the motherboard is probably not regulating the voltage correctly but that's just my opinion. You can get a wealth of info and help if you post it at Tom's Hardware.
  16. The practice that Andrea stated is a good one. However, this is not always the case if you have more than one person editing the files. With that said, it's important to make sure you have a good web hosting company that keeps daily backups (up to 7 days). If you should ever need a file or files for whatever reason most host will be able to find and upload the copy to a temp folder for you to extract from. You can also do you own backup but that will require a bit more time and knowledge to set up. If you are using a database, be sure to back that up also. Some CMS or blogs have database backup plugins or add-ons. Some may even have file backup add-ons.
  17. I have since resolved this issue. It's apparent that the layer control doesn't really do much good when contained within a table cell thus cutting it off at the cell's edge. I basically took the FB button out of the cell, wrapped a div around the table and applied the button to just before the end of the closing div right after the table cell. @Eric, I know nothing about FB and so I cannot answer your question. I just have to get it to work that's all.
  18. You could do a screen capture(s) of the initial page and then carve out the few images you need to make it your own. There's really not much there that require you to use alot of images. It's mostly CSS and HTML (without the js functionallities).
  19. I am having trouble trying to get this Like button to overlay within it's container. You can check the issue here: http://www.activewearusa.com/store/pc/Margarita-Activewear-Pants-51064-51p2079.htm You will find the Like button to the right column just below the Add to Wishlist button. It appears fine as you can see but once you click on that Like button (and sign in if so required) the comment box should appear but it's underlaying within that tannish box cutting off that comment box. Currently the container has a position relative and that the Like button iframe has a div wrapped around it with a position absolute and z-index of 20000 but it still doesn't resolve my problem. Any suggestion on how to resolve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated..
  20. Typcially it's a broswer setting. Have him check the options and set it to refresh every visit.
  21. Most shopping cart will have the options to apply your own header/footer to it. What shopping cart are you using?
  22. I did one for a client about 2 years ago. She didn't like Zenphoto or any other open source tools and so I ended finding this one which is quite good and has a built in shopping cart for those that wish to sell them. It can do watermarks, login access for client only photos, coupon code, time limits to purchase a sale price, etc. We were both quite please with it.
  23. It's not going to be a simple process because alot of security involved especially when you are talking about money here. I wouldn't know where to start but it looks like something that will take a very very long time to accomplish. Even then, you will have loads of bugs and security issues before you can even begin to use it on a bank. Also note that their may be some federal regulations about such software that you will have to get by.

    CSS Issue on Hover

    After discovering that background color fixed my problem, I tried using background: transparent but it didn't work. So I tried using a transparent background image and that resolved my problem. Still, it's a mystery as to why it wouldn't work as it should.
