Hello. Thanks for your review. I'll try to correct those issues you mention. Cheers, Eduardo

Thanks, I just fixed it. It was a problem with a <ul> inside a <div> with absolute position. I corrected it using 2 <p> inside the <div> and giving top and left margins. Cheers, Eduardo

Hello, My new site: w ww.joelarias.com is supposed to have a problem on the very first page when wiewed on Safari for Mac. The problem is on the two navigation buttons: Espanol / English. One of them moves around on the hover position. It works fine in any other browser, even Safari for Windows. The css file is very small, but as I don't have a Mac i don't know how to solve the problem. Can any one help? Thanks, Eduardo

Ok. I made the changes. Looks much better. Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to review the whole site I'll try to correct all those problems you mention, which are, indeed, important. Anyone else? Thanks, Eduardo

Hello everyone, This is a new website I'm working on. It's almost finished, so I wanted to post it here to see what changes or improvements could be made before it goes officialy online. It's in English and Spanish, (but the English translation still needs lots of corrections) It's a Website for a famous Venezuelan Horn Player, specialized both in Baroque and Modern French Horn. His idea was to show both worlds, old and modern of this instrument. I designed and programmed everything except the gallery and some JS effects. Also, the Intro page is the artist's idea. I tried to validate as much as possible. The link: w ww.j oelarias.com Thank you very much, Eduardo

Hello, I created a back-end "upload image" form for a client. He will be able to upload his own pictures to a specific directory on the server. Now I'd like to write a little script (user friendly) that shows the content of that specific directory (mainly images) and gives the client the possibility to erase the pictures he doesn't want any more. I just need some advice, tutorials or links. I know little about php. Thanks, Eduardo

Hello, I have a DB with a list of events (id, title, date, time, details). Let's say I want to display the first event like this: Title: piano recital Date: 31/11/2010 Time: 5:00 p.m. Details: Free entrance next event ---> and then just under this table I want to add a "next event" link so when you click on it the info will change and display the next event(if it happens all in the same page, better but not a must) I'd like display the next event ordered by DATE (not by id). Something like this: Title: violin recital Date: 14/12/2010 Time: 6:00 p.m. Details: Free next event ---> How do I do this?

I fixed it, it was padding problem. No need to use the hack. But thanks for the tip, I'll certainly use it very soon on that same site. Regards, Eduardo

Thanks, I will try that. Eduardo

Hello, How could I correct a css problem (looks good on FireFox and wrong in IE) on my main navigation hover background? Link: http://ww w.joelarias.com/ini cio.php Thanks Eduardo

Hi again, I guess it's my fault on every page except the index I have: <?php @include("../includes/header.php");?> I don't know how or when, I copied and pasted that line into the index page, which obviously doesn't work. I changed it into this one: <?php @include("includes/header.php");?> (notice the ../ difference) DUH! I'm glad you like the site, Andrea. The director of the school does too. She is all excited about it and that makes me happy. From now on I think I'll adventure myself with Joomla, I'm tired of creating all those back-end tables, add-edit-erase forms, etc... Eduardo

Thanks guys for the observations, Just one thing: I don't know how to check if the id is valid. Could you please help me there? Also, This morning, inexplicably, the header of the index page just disappeared. I use an include file for the header and footer. I had to copy the entire header into the index page in order to show it properly. The rest of the pages were ok. Could be this the result of a hack? Thanks Eduardo PD. Andrea: I was as surprised as you were. The whole top banner + navigation disappeared just for the index page! I'm sure someone is playing jokes out there

Hello, This is a new site I just finished two days ago. It took me 2 months of work. It's a site for a music school in Caracas, Venezuela. It's the first time I use dynamic content (the client creates pages, upcoming events, news, teacher profiles, etc.). I want to thank everyone who has helped me in my multiple php-js-css questions I asked these last months. I hope you could help me improve the design and functionality of the site with your critics. URL: w ww.eem mal.com Best regards, Eduardo

Thanks for your answers, I appreciate it. After your arguments, I think I will give it a try without any regrets Regards, Eduardo

Hello, Last week, a friend showed me the Joomla interface and, I have to admit it, I was amazed with all that ?easy? functionality. He proposed me to work together only using that platform instead of the traditional html- css - php programming. Of course, after seeing all those modules, extensions, etc., the proposal is very tempting, because my clients ask me more and more for a back-end interface. I honestly don?t have time to create a solid platform for each of them, so the website design business I have is becoming overwhelming. On the other hand, I feel that, even knowing that you can manipulate their css and html files, all these platforms betray the very essence of what a website designer should be. There is a unique feeling when you create a website from scratch. I would like to hear some opinions here. Should I switch to Joomla completely, not at all, or for some specific cases? Regards, Eduardo

Hello again, Well, I found a non elegant solution, but it works. I deleted the float:left you suggested and added a margin-left: -5px So, we have: .sliderGallery ul li img {margin-left: -5px;} You can see it here: http://w ww.puntabahareque.com/slid eshow.html Still, I'd like to know if there is a more professional o elegant solution, other than using negative margins. Thanks again, Eduardo

Hi, I added your code, but look what happens: http://w ww.puntabahareque.com/slideshow2.html

Hello again, I finally found the js gallery I was looking for: http://jquery fordesigners.com/slid er-gallery/ and adapted it to my needs: http://www.pun tabahareque.com/s lideshow.html Everything looks ok, except the little white gap between the pictures. I've been working with the css but I couldn't' find the problem. I've tried assigning 0 to all margins and paddings, but it doesn't work. Thanks Eduardo

Hi everybody, Does anyone know how this photo gallery was made?: http://ww w.hakanphotography.com/g alleries.htm A client wants something like that (specially the scroll bar, which I hate, by the way). But the fact the images go one after the others, with no captions or title, I really like it. Cheers, Eduardo

Thanks, I found a simpler way: <?php function scale($url,$width){ $size = GetImageSize($url); $xp = $size[0]/$width; $yp = $size[1]/$xp; echo ''; } scale("images/frontpic.jpg",290); ?> It works! Now, I'd like to draw a little gray rectangle around that picture, with a padding of 4 or 5 pixels , and a 1 pixel black border. Is it possible to do that? Thanks, Eduardo

Hello, I created a page where I display a picture using the following script:

Finally, I found a solution: I was trying to use the DATE_FORMAT function, but it didn't work (still don't know why) I then changed this: echo $row_RsEvents['column_date']; Into this: $formatted_date= $row_RsEvents['column_date']; echo date("d-m-Y",strtotime($formatted_date)); and it works perfectly Cheers, Eduardo Edit: Sorry Wickham, I didn't see your last edit. I am glad we both came to the same solution! (but yours is better than mine )

It didn't work with "echo...". But it works with "print...": <?php print $comentarios; ?>
