haha, yeah kinda muddy - but i think i can get through it. I am a fulltime webmaster and the company i work for is just growing more and more so its time to start automating some thing instead of me spending the time keeping all this data in html! Our website started off small so i didnt have to worry about all this, but thats not the case now. I just redid the site from a Frontpage Template site to PHP/CSS, so hopefully i can now learn SQL also!

Thanks for the response. The server is Linux, so it supports PHP and MySQL, SQL, and i think Oracle. Should i organize my data in FoxPro and then write the queries there? Actually, what would be better do you know of any tutorials that would teach me this sort of thing?

Hello, I have quite alot of data on my website. I would like to use a database program (access or foxpro) or a spreadsheet program (excel) to keep my data organized, and then have my webpages grab the data from there. What are the best tools to use for this? THanks

I guess they arent using 5.5, that was on the netrendering website so i was looking at it. However i do have to fix this site for IE6. I placed some conditional comments in to fix the layout and it worked out. It's not perfect though. Now i am working on making the menu functional and it looks like i will have to use java. I do have alot of stylesheets, they help me stay organized - but i do need to clean them up and make sure they dont conflict with each other. "An id="tanad" tag has been used more than once - use a class if used more than once." *I didnt know this! Is there a specific reason? Thanks for your help Wickham. LSW - i cant agree more about IE6, i am so frustrated with it!

Hello, thanks for that explanation. My site works in Firefox/Opera/Safari/IE7. I have added some conditional comments to fix the layout. However from my research and attempts to make the menu work (the subitems of the menus dont show) it seems that i will have to use javascript. I have no idea how to do that. Is there some already scripted that i can use? *By the way, i know my code is not yet perfect, i have some errors when trying to validate - i am working on these, but i dont think any of these are affecting the menu. Thanks for the help.

Hello, why does IE6 have problems with css menus? my site tica.org is not properly working in IE6 and i am working to fix it, but one of the major problems is the menu's subitems. Thanks

Hello, I am using http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/ to view my site in IE6 and 5.5. Alot of my clients still use these browsers. However, my website http://tica.org is showing up inconsistent. Any ideas why?

perfect, thanks!

Hello, can anyone figure out why my header.gif wont show up in firefox or safari on my wordpress blog? http://tica.org/blog Thanks

Hi, i am trying to include an mpg file into this webpage: http://ticanew.com/public/news/commercials.php However, i have no clue what code to use. I have tried the object and embed tag together but that isnt working.

Hi, i have a question. It seems that this should be easy but i cant get it to work. I am trying to add a UL and OL to this page http://www.ticanew.com/public/about/tds.php However, i need the margins to go back to default, but every time i try it messes up the menu since it also is a list.

oh, he site is ticanew.com THe 404 page is here; http://ticanew.com/404.php I just copied the code on my index page and changed the Content to say "Sorry we could not find that page." Is there some special 404 code i have to add?

Hi, i made a webpage using CSS and php includes. I made custom error pages, 404.shtml I would rather them be php pages so i can put my include code in. I tried and the pages didnt work. Is this possible?

Hi, i have a new question. It seems that this should be easy but i cant get it to work. I am trying to add a UL and OL to this page http://www.ticanew.com/public/about/tds.php However, i need the margins to go back to default, but every time i try it messes up the menu since it also is a list.

ok, ill work at it then. I have a small question - i am new at this, when i place margin or padding at :0 0 8px; which is top/left/bottom/right?

It worked for the most part - im happy with it. The longer pages look great. But the homepage loses that white border on the bottom. If we cant get it perfect, thats okay - i doubt anyone will see it. Thanks.

oops, i just changed that page (shortened), sorry - you can see it here: http://ticanew.com/public/showing.php

well... =) I did that, but now my longer pages show a gap.. You can see it here: http://ticanew.com/public/classifieds.php

thanks! I was able to make my left column go down the page, thanks to your article. i actually layered 2 faux columns. However, i want the bottom of the menu to show on my shorter pages. right now on the homepage, it is too short so it cuts off the tan color at the bottom. Here is where the menu looks short: http://ticanew.com/public/about.php Look at the bottom of them menu on this page - i want all my pages to be like this: http://ticanew.com/public/classifieds.php thanks!

Hello agian, new question. I have a div called menubot which makes the color for the bottom of them menu on the left. I want it to fill the height of the screen. I tried setting the height to auto, but i am not placing any content in this div. I have also set the height to 100% and it made no change. I also tried setting the height of div LEFT to 100% and there was no change. suggestions?

i think i figured it out.

I have run into another issue - I created a custom search bar and i cant seem to figure out the code that will line up the search box with the submit button image. http://ticanew.com Thanks

thanks!

I am having trouble with a new website i just completed. http://fossilpointe.net/ It looks fine in IE, but all other browsers show a gap between the header div and menu div. I can't seem to find what is doing this in the code. Thanks for the help.

Thank you!! My site is coming together very nicely and im learning so much thanks to everyone! My next project is the menu!
