  1. Ok...convinced the client to go with a div overflow. Just got one tweak that I am confused with which that I cannot get the two columns of inputs to line up the same in both FF and IE. h ttp://tgdev-com.ds5053.gr eybea rdhosting.com/store/pc/quickorder_edk.asp I have set the first row of cells to have fixed widths. It seems IE is not playing nice where the Item Code column pushes out further than I like. Suggestions? Thanks.
  2. I don't see any good summary of explaining what the tool does before you click to use the tool and of course what the benefits are.
  3. I think I've convince the client to take it out of iframes and use div overflow.
  4. The site doesn't really sell to me. The design is borish. The concept is good but the whole site is lacking character.
  5. I'd make it a practice to set all my 1024 sites to be 990px.
  6. Please take a look at this link: h ttp://tgd ev-com.ds5053.gre ybea rdhosting.com/store/pc/quickorder1.asp (remove spaces) To the left, there is a category list. Click on one of the links and then hover over one of the items below. You can see the tooltip popup (ajax script) but it hides behind the iframe or that it does not appear on top of the entire page. Any suggestions or fix for this?
  7. If you have any of the heading tags (h1, h2, etc.) that has links within them then the color set for the tag will supercede the heading tags color. Wedding This will show the greyish color which is set by this style: a { color: #666666; text-decoration: none; } If you really want to turn those links that are within the heading tags then you will need to add a new style like this: h2 a, h3 a, h4 a, h5 a { color: #D50672; } You have another style that is for h2 only that you will find that has it's own color: #content h2 { margin-bottom: 20px; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: -1px; color: #808080; }

    CSS Ordered List

    I haven't found a solution for this but when you use bulleted list, it's easy to use an image as a background for the list-style and position it to wherever you like but my dilemma is that I want to get the text and the nurmeric value to be closer together. 1. Content here I want to close the gap between 1. and Content her. Sure I could create an image for each number but then would be senseless to use orderded list.
  10. Ack! This is the way I behave when I am in a super serious work mode. I have no sense of humor at all! *Eddie humbly bows before Eric The Great and says...* My apologies! ...and no...you can't use the machete on me.
  11. I understand' date=' not everyone can get it. No shame in that. he - he...[/quote'] Ben wouldn't get it? From his comment, Ben never implied that he didn't get it. He just didn't have the time which is the same reason I give. However, I did do something like this when I first started using CSS. It was quite challenging. This is good if you have the time and need the enchance your skills.
  12. Thelma hit the nail right on the head! Get the skills under your belt or else it's going to end up being a mess because I am already seeing a lot of css codes that should be moved to the css style sheet. You cannot assume that Dreamweaver is going to get it right meaning that if you use WYSIWYG to make changes, DW will add news styles to the of that page you are working on. A very good understanding of HTML and CSS is vital in keeping a good clean design.
  13. It's not actually the file they are trying to protect but instead they are trying to limit who has download access to a project annonymously. Right now I am looking into user CMS Made Simple but it may be a bit more than they can handle. SIMPLICITY is what I need. UGH!
  14. Hmm...maybe the Window 7 Beta will work better than public released Vista?
  15. John, Do you think it can be set to where when they login that it will direct them to only ONE page of the site (thus access no other pages on the site)? I have been researching a particular business to contractor management system that will allow restricted access to each project on the site. Here's the link of my original post in this regards.
  16. None of those are what I am looking for. For instant, the dropbox is okay but the sharing method is set for registered or known group list. The client will not be keeping a known member list because contractors come and go which is why I was explaining the method in my original post. Also, I am not looking for an online solution with a third-party. I just need a simple stand-alone software that is web-based which can be hosted on the client's own server using their own domain. Maybe I am not using the right search term? It's kind of the same concept as where a photography company produces photos and put them online. They will then send an email to the customer with a passcode to login and view only their pictures. No one else can access it but them. In addition, they do not have to register because they have to the passcode to view the photos. In my case, it's not photos but instead pdf file download.
  17. You need to change your doctype to at least HTML 4.01 Transitional. Most of your errors is due the flash code. The rest are simply missing alt tags for images, inproper script tag type, certain inline styles, etc. Since it's a personal site...is there any reason why you want it to validate? There are no software that fixes for you. Just need to learn the code and fix them yourself.
  18. I need to find a stand alone open source barebone file document utility software. Scenario: Client post a new project (Project 4009) via web. It includes a summary of the project and downloadable pdf file(s). Client sends a blanket email to prospecting bidders that has the url and login info for the specified project. Bidders will then visit the provided url. They will see a list of new and old projects (see below) Project 4009 (new) Project 3887 (open) Project 3768 (pending) Project 3704 (closed) ...and so one The bidders will then click on the new project and see the summary of the job along with a unique password protected link to the pdf file(s). If the bidders decides to bid on that project then they will need to use the provided login info that they received in their email from the client. I need something that is simplified and yet effective. Keep in mind that their pdf files are 20mb or larger and so it will require them to upload the files via FTP in which they understand. So I don't not need a file uploader for the utility that I am looking for but it does need to have the capability of linking to pdf files that were FTPed and password protect each one of them with their own unique password. I have search the net but I am just not having any luck in finding a opensource solution. I don't want to use Joomla, Drupal, etc which is why I stated that I need a stand alone software. Any suggestions will most appreciated.
  19. None of your errors are critical but if you look at the validation results, you will find what the errors and warnings are and suggestions on how to fix them. Changing your doctype from XHMTL Transitional to HTML 4.01 Strict will produce errors such as: align="left" which should be style="float: left;" border="0" will be style="border: 0; ..and so on. Of couse you can assign classes and put the styles in the css style sheet. As for the warning, you just need to take out the self-closing forward slash within the tags:
  20. IE6 - 35% http://www.thecounter.com/stats/ I still think the number is too great. Some stats have it higher while others are lower. I am incline to follow the W3 global stats. Once it reaches under 10%, I will drop support
  21. There seems to be an issue with the float. Normally, the left column is floated left whereas the right column is floated right. This work across ALL browsers except Chrome. I do have a fix but I do not know if this method is proper. I basically switched the left and right columns within the html and then removed the float: left from the left column. After doing that, I still have a small issue with the two columns not lining up at the top (horizontal alignment) but it least is the layout is not broken. If there is an alternative method, I am open for suggestions.
  22. keep in mind that I know the home page has an width issue due to the client copying and pasted table cells from another site. If you click on Browse, you will see that I still have the same problem.
  23. Please check this site via Google Chrome: rva wningm at.com The layout breaks and I cannot figure out why. I heard that Chrome was officially relase a few weeks ago?
