    validating with flash

    I don't have too 'Click to Activate' in any of my browsers including IE and Opera. If Eric is correct about the number of users having to click to activate then I don't any reason not to use the fixit.js script.
  2. Not really. I found out the same way you did.
  3. Thelma, You will want to ban that user because...well...just highlight the whole area where he made the post... Edit: or just click on Quote on that user's post.
  4. If you have downloaded IE8 and you are having some issues, you can check out this site that provides a wealth of fixes and tips for the browser.

    validating with flash

    According to MS, an update has been produced back in April 2008. A short blog was posted here in this regard. So if you have these issues then you may not have your system up to date or it's flawed. As for Opera, I know at one time it did not support ActiveX but I am uncertain if they do now.

    validating with flash

    This was a problem with one of the IE update a few years ago but has since be resolved with a later update. So no, you really don't need anymore.
  7. It really helps to have at least some basic graphic design knowledge before you start creating websites. This doesn't mean you can't learn html while learning Photoshop or Illustrator. Both can go hand in hand if used properly. Most web designers create a mockup design before they even begin coding the html/css.
  8. It depends on you. There are no set of rules but in my personal opinion, I would build each page/article one at a time and categorize the articles and then recategorize them later on if so required.

    validating with flash

    I have made many attempts to using all kinds of solutions to create a validating flash that works in all browsers for various operating systems and I have found that none of them work for 100% of the market. So LSW is right, if you want it to work for all the users, take the hit.
  10. The dropdown nav didn't work for me on the home page. I didn't know there was one until I went to other pages. When I go to your interior pages, I was kind of confused how the center content was overlapping the header. It made me think that it was a popup and I was trying find out how to get rid of it. You have a breadcrumb for those interior pages but the Home link didn't work. Although it certainly doesn't have any originality (as Thelma said...it looks like a template) it doesn't look too bad. However, I would be cautious to do any business with them because there is no physical address even though you have a toll free number which anyone can get and afford these days. Another red flag is the google ads. Although google ads are ok, it certainly will hurt your credibility as a debt consilodation business. Of course this is from a consumer's perspective.
  11. Incorrect. 8859-1 is also for various other languages such as French, German, Spanish and a host of others. That is why it's called Western European. It also includes regions like Australia, much of Africa and all of the Americas. Well, I wasn't trying to be smart-alec. I mean I sincerely thought you might have done so but sometimes you can't find the right answers because of the search query which is why I suggested googling charset=iso-8859-1.
  12. Just google charset=iso-8859-1 and you will get a wealth of information. In short, it's an old Latin character set used mostly by windows. The search results will go in greater details about it.
  13. Eric, Been there. Serious clients will be serious in their desires to get things done but sometimes they have other priorities that supercedes them in which this may be the case with you and your client. I'd say shake it off and find more clients. Give priority to those that are working with you or at least not holding you back. If you have a deposit for the job then don't fret unless you have done more work than the amount you collected. Just find another client or two. Meanwhile, you can careful state (via email or leave phone message) in your next attempt to contact the client by saying something that you have not received any response from him/her and that this will be your last attempt. Becareful how you word it because you don't want to come across as being pushy or desperate.

    Alignment issue

    I am not sure why you need all those position: relative but you should establish your bannercontainer to have a fixed height that will fit all those other child divs. This will then clear the bodycontainer thus pushing the sidebar down naturally.
  15. Color Chart by Name It's really a limited list but all the possible color names are listed thus the remaining hex codes do not have color names for them. If you want the hex order sorted then use Color Chart by Hex
  16. What you can do is use an image that has a few dots and have it repeated using the css background. Create the image. Add it to the dl selector in the css. Example: background: transparent url('image-filename.jpg) repeat-x; You will probably need to postion it from the top so that it aligns with the bottom of the text of the food item. Example: background: transparent url('image-filename.jpg) 0 10px repeat-x; 10px will move it down from the top. Next you will need to add a background color to dt and to dd so that matches the same tannish/brown background color you have. Otherwise, tables will work nicely. Update: I have made some edits to this post that shorten and improved this method.
  17. You probably need a SSL certificate and the host requires a code to use with a IP and the CCBill needs to know what merchant you are using so you can use their built gateway to process payments. As for Frontpage, it's not the tool but it's coding that it produces. I've used FP for 2 years before upgrading to Expression Web and never had a problem with it because I understood html and css thus allows me to avoid using FP garbage coding such as webbots, font tags, etc.
  18. You should be coding for Firefox because it's a standard compliant browser whereas IE is not. If you get it right in Firefox then chances are IE will render it very close the same. The dirty fix is to add clear: both; to the following css: dl p.info p.head Using dl (dt, dd) is a bit tricky but you don't have to use it. Since your menu is displaying data it's ok to use tables instead of dl's.
  19. Update your changes to the live site so we can see how you are implementing the code. As I see it now, you don't have it coded via in the initial home page.
  20. There is a good source of CMS mentioned here and here
  21. Here's what I do. Make a copy of onlinevoucher.html and name it onlinevoucher-test.html. Make a copy of styles.css and name it styles-test.css In the onlinevoucher-test.html page, look for this: Change the file path for the media css from /styles.css to styles-test.css and do the same thing for the second line that has print.css which now will be styles-test.css. (note: this is just to make it simple for testing purposes) Test in browser to make sure the page is displaying correctly. Now open your styles-test.css file and strip out all the properties (styles) but keep the selectors. Example of what it should look like after you strip them out: body { } #wrap { } ...and so on. Preview in your browsers. You should see everything but without the styling. Now add display: none; to all the css selectors that wish to hide such as the header, the right side column, the footer, etc. It should look like this: #header-wrap { display: none; } Keep doing this until you get the desired results. Preview in browser often. Now once you have the text/images you wish to print, style it so that you get the desired visual look. In some cases, you will need to turn on a parent selector in order to see the child selector. Keep tweaking it to you get it right. Refresh your browser and do a Print Preview. If you have done it right there will be no extra blank page. Once you are satisfied, you can use this as your new print stylesheet. Tip: Make sure all margins and paddings for divs/tables are set to zero and the width are set to 100%. The user's default print setting for the browser will already have margins set and that you will also want to use the full width of the print area.
  22. You should have a good navigation structure so that it will make it easy for users to move around the site. Additional, you could use breadcrumbs so that users can see the levels they have gone and so all they have to do is click on the level they wish to get back to. Breadcrumb: Home > Our Products > Widgets > Texas Widgets> Blue > Texas Bluebonnet Widgets
  23. And to top it off, you posted in the wrong forum. It should be in the Peer-to-Peer. Mods?
  24. I've answered your question in this post. I think you are not grasping how css displays the content. By default, the html of your page will display. CSS just makes it pretty. If you don't want something to appear then you simply turn it off like a light switch by adding 'display: none'. You can easily critique what you are doing by doing a Print Preview that way you don't have keep printing pages. As I said in the other post, there is no sense in having a form printed nor the instructions. You just need the coupon image to print.

    centering table

    You will need to set every instances within that #main div to display: none. Just hiding the div alone doesn't cut it. You don't need the form and so you should hide it. You don't need the instructions to that form and so you should hide it. Use 'display: none' to hide everything that appears. If you want to just have the coupon image to appear only, then you would just use one css to make it work: #main img {display: block;} Everything else you hide.
