that weird stuff looks like a piece of code from a microsoft editor. what text editor did you use on the css file?

DNS is enough, but it takes a few hours (maybe 72) before the domain DNS records circulate. Until then, you might need to use the IP address. Once the information gets propagated, it will be available by DNS alone.

The concept is that only a Bot (spammer) will see the Hidden field, so if there are any contents in that field, then you know a Bot completed the Form, so disregard the email or comment. It works to filter out Bot submitted Forms, but not intentional Human provided Spams.

Don't you hate it when the toys come with instructions...

Any chance you can post a link, please? And which browser are you using to see the dropped column?

What is it doing (or not doing) 'properly'? Works fine for me. Google, then Hotmail, then Yahoo! in a drop-down select box. Did you add a Submit button to the Form?

Nope, margins and padding should be able to do that for you. Do you have the basic code for the page so we can mess around with a sample? I don't feel that we need to write the entire page for you.

javascript solution can be found here: http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=23866&view=findpost&p=131860 Take your pick.

Some/many Browsers use Control-U to display the source code of a page being viewed in the Browser.

And give it a specific width to stop them from shrinking or moving.

Agreed, but I have never had an ounce of trouble such as Database connections with XAMPP. This is not the first time I've heard about this problem with WAMP before.

For those of you wanting a function to 'obfuscate' an email address, here is one sample: // obfuscate emails function function hexentities($str) { $encoded = ''; for($i = 0; $i $encoded .= ''.bin2hex(substr($str, $i, 1)).';'; } return $encoded; } Usage: $email = "myself@mydomain.com"; echo hexentities($email) ?> Displays 'myself@mydomain.com' on the html page as output to the screen/page, but the source code is hex encoded so 'most' Bots won't find the addresses. Never any guarantees in life, and the Bots are getting smarter all the time, too. See also: http://www.jlhaslip.trap17.com/samples/email/index.php View source that page and look at the Footer code to see a real example in use.

Works excellent with or without js using FF3/Linux, too. Nice work. Name's Jim.

Uninstall Wamp and try XAMPP. Fully automagical.

Have you started the WAMP server? (see their documentation) Are you getting any errors output at all? Is error reoprting set on? (use ini_set()) Echo the query you are using and use phpmyadmin (or equal) to see if the Query is working? How are you confirming the lack of data in the DB? Is "localhost" the server name? Lots of things could be going wrong, but having those things checked will be a good start.

CSS version? No speed controller, but nice all the same. http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menu/gallery3l

Looks to me like you have the slide already set up, at least on the top link. Add some content to the following chef sections. They appear to be empty, so there is no slide action happening.

There is a setInterval value in the javascript code near the bottom that might be the secret setting for slowing it down. Pretty sure there would not be a CSS method to slow the presentation of the drop-down. Hover effect is either on or off. Set up that script and check the speed by adjusting the setInterval value.

Well, in the olden days, you would be using a Frameset and a target of the content area frame, but these are not the olden days, so things have changed. PHP is a server-sdie scripting language and it requires the link to be processed back at the server, so that would be out of the question, apparently. That leaves javascript, or AJAX, which is javascript with http requests and junk, which does not require a full page request, however, it might not be the wisest thing to do here. Simply refresh the current page with a php request and pass the contents as a query string. To simplify the issue, have a look at using a Content Management System would be my suggestion.

I'd vote against using heading tags for the Logo or the navigation. Headings should deal with the page content, IMHO. Logo's and Nav links are not content relative to the page on the web. Sure, I put them on the pages, but rarely print them, and definitely don't use heading tags for them.

Or, instead of a full Content Management System, perhaps start with a Forum which would allow the members to communicate via the net. I am partial to AEF Forums myself. It can be "inserted" into a Web Page. PM me for a link to a Demo of that if you need one. http://anelectron.com/
