  1. Sorry, I looked, but this issue is way above my head.
  2. I guess it depends on where you look. But from here: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_new_elements.asp and here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/HTML5/HTML5_element_list I'd take it a bit differently.Also, I would hope that the actual meaning of the word section and article was considered during the development of html5.
  3. I don't like that the Facebook and Twitter link take you away from the site. I mean, that's what those two things are supposed to do, but your links appear right with the rest of your site navigation. Then I think your regular font color should be just a bit darker for easier reading for those with issues, especially the 'labels' on your contact page. They are very faint. As to your code, I don't know this for a fact, but it seems that using the article tag as some sort of division tag may be improper use of the tag. Don't know if that hurts anything, but I like semantics.
  4. You can use the basics: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_websafe_fonts.asp
  5. I fixed it -- (sometimes it helps to be working with smart people, Ph.D.s and stuff, even if they don't build websites ) No idea if that was the actual problem, maybe I don't understand Definition Lists, but instead of having multiple DDs under the DTs, I reduced it to just one and instead put p tags around my individual items. And voila ---- the jQuery still only opens one DD, but not that has everything inside. Amazing how many hours I can be entertained by something like that Again, thanks a bunch, Ben. Without your help, I'd still be pulling my hair.
  6. Thank you so much for your help, Ben. I'm a little bit closer --- (the last link you posted isn't working) - but I did figure out that the jQuery code does NOT work when it's in the head section, but does work when I put it just above the closing body tag. Wasn't sure about that, as Google seemed to have contradicting information on the topic. Now I have just one more problem -- when I click my dts, only one dd appears, and there are a varying number of multiples under each dt. My quest continues....
  7. Don't have any strong attachment to using lists, so I changed it to a definition list. You are of course right, that makes more sense. Other than that, the link you give me looks easy enough---- until I realize I have never even heard of SASS/SCSS.... Can I put that in my header just like regular CSS? (Inside the style tags)? And that jquery code goes just above the closing body tag? Inside another set of style tags? Sorry - I feel rather stupid right now. I guess that's what happens when you lay back and think you know at least a little something. Either way - I've been trying and googling, and NADA... here is my struggle: http://alturl.com/ypgos
  8. I cannot believe that in over 2 hours of googling, I have not found an answer that seems to address my issue. I have a list with sub-lists. <ul> <li>First Thing <ul> <li>1</li> <li>2</li> <li>3</li> <li>4</li></ul> </li> <li>Second Thing <ul> <li>1</li> <li>2</li> <li>3</li> <li>4</li></ul> </li> <ul> I want only the top li (first thing / second thing) to show, but when clicked, I then want my 1, 2, 3, 4 list to appear. Kind of like many sites have with their FAQ2 - so each working independently. I don't even care if First Thing detail closes back up once I move to second thing. My real list is much longer and sub-list are of different length. Help, please....
  9. This html by itself doesn't do anything. The real action comes from what's behind the cgi-bin. Unfortunately, I still haven't learned that kind of coding, so I probably wouldn't be able to tell what may or may not be causing the problem, but even those who can would have to see what's going on. Maybe this site has some helpful info: http://www.html-form-guide.com/form-mail/cgi-form-mail.html
  10. That's too bad, I was just about to look into things, but without being able to see your page, I cannot help. (Deleted link because I didn't get a response to questions and didn't want to keep my url up here)
  11. HTML itself cannot do forms. There is usually some kind of PHP or similar involved. Maybe there is an update available for whatever forms generator you are usuing? Do you have at least a link? Without seing what you have, we can only just guess.

    Border Issue

    Have you been able to work this out? If not, I'm happy to see if I can help, but I really need to see the code.

    Border Issue

    In order to determine the problem, we have to see HTML, CSS, and the image? Do you have a link?

    Border Issue

    Hard to tell without seing the whole page. Positioning should not have anything to do with a border showing or not, unless for some reason, there is not enough room to display image and all 4 borders.
  15. I think there is still some confusion going on. Divs and frames are not exchangeable. Each jane their own purpose and function. About those warning points, I think they are issued to someone violating forum rules.
  16. I'm currently on vacation and don't have access to a real computer, so I cannot play around with your code, but looking at it, I notice the following, which may or may not have anything to do with your problem: There is no such thing as a closing image tag - get rid of your </img> tags. Your li and a tags are backwards, it should be <li><a href.......>whatever</a></li>
  17. Ok - get it. That's pretty much what I tried to say. Just making sure I was on the right track.
  18. Ben, are you saying you would not recommend using iFrames for anything? What would you use if you wanted to insert external content? Ron, if you use PHP includes, there is no frame tag. You haven't said yet what you want to achieve by using frames or a frame-like method.
  19. The first thing would be to determine what it is you want to use the frames for. The most common use of the old frames was to not to have to repeat one part of a webpage that is the same on several pages - usually stuff like header, navigation, or footer. that in itself is still a great approach, but a much better way to go about that is to use php includes. Stef has a great tutorial on that: Part 1: http://www.killerphp.com/videos/02_php_includes/02_php_includes.html Part 2: http://www.killerphp.com/videos/02_php_includes_part_2/02_php_includes_part_2.html On the other hand, iFrames are a good way to include external content into a page of your site. For example, if you would want to show a You Tube video, or maybe an news article or blog from somewhere else. Does any of that make any sense? Let me know if you have questions.
  20. Hey, Les - long time no see!!!! How have you been?
  21. What it means and how you know depends on what the hack's all about. If I suspect I've been hacked, I check the online file dates to see if anything is newer than it should be, and if I find something, I look at the code. As to why/how, that depends, too. I once had an issue with a PHP file that somehow created a weak spot (a ZenPhoto vulnerability years ago), and I've also for a while had a host where my sites got hacked a lot. While I really cannot be sure how this happens, based on those circumstances, I am blaming the host. Now that I've moved to a different one, those problems have gone away. I do have to add, so, that I only have limited experience with a good handful of small and basic sites.
  22. Eddie, read the first sentence in the OP's post.
  23. Sorry, I just thought it'd be more efficient searching for this topic directly than hoping that someone here has personal experience they are willing to share. Personally, I can only tell you that I've had trouble with GoDaddy hosting, too, and no longer use them. For a while, I used 3iX.org - only a buck a month, but account kept getting hacked. I've now been with iPage for several years and have not had any issues that weren't resolved quickly.
