  1. I'll try and get a few other people to test it, see if anyone else has the problem or if it's only me. Thanks for all the help.
  2. http://harmonydesignsolutions.com/ (It's still a work-in-progress) edit: I asked a friend to try it out and it worked for him! (He's using a mac, I'm on windows, both using firefox)
  3. Should I phone up my hosts and ask them wth is going on? Maybe it's a php problem on their side?
  4. Form code: Name *: Email address *: Contact no: Message *: email.php: <?php //first make sure from is sanitary $from = $_POST["from"]; $from=filter_var($from, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL); //this first cleans it, so that it contains the right kind of characters if(filter_var($from, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){ //this checks the resulting clean address for well-formedness $to = "fdfdfd@gmail.com"; $subject = "Feedback"; //$message = $_POST["msg"] + ; reset($_POST); while (list($key, $val) = each($_POST)) { $message .= "$key => $val \n"; } $headers = "CC: gdfdfdd@gmail.com"; //mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers); echo "Thank you! We will get back to you shortly."; } else { echo 'The from address provided is invalid!'; echo ' '.$from.' '; reset($_POST); while (list($key, $val) = each($_POST)) { echo "$key => $val "; } } ?> I just did another test, running the same, non-working email.php on a different HTML form -- had the same problem (submit 1st time=error, 2nd time=works). When I use a different, older email.php of mine then it works first time as expected. So it would seem there's something wrong with the PHP code then? An older, working email.php: <?php //first make sure from is sanitary $from = $_POST["from"]; $from=filter_var($from, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL); //this first cleans it, so that it contains the right kind of characters if(filter_var($from, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){ //this checks the resulting clean address for well-formedness $to = "dfdfdfs@gmail.com"; $subject = "Feedback"; $message = $_POST["msg"]; if ($_POST["name"]=="") $headers = "From: $from"; else $headers = "From: "+$_POST["name"]; mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers); echo "Mail Sent."; } else { echo 'The from address provided is invalid!'; echo ' $from'; } ?>
  5. Unfortunately, that is not the problem: I am filling in the form and then pressing submit. The html is sending the data method="post". The problem is that the first time I press submit, it's as if the .php file gets no POST data. I press back and press submit again - without changing anything - and then it miraculously works.
  6. It does seem like the $_POST is not filled on the first submit. What do I do to fix this? This code while (list($key, $val) = each($_POST)) { echo "$key => $val "; } prints out all the key-value pairs inside the $_POST. On the first run it doesn't print out anything, implying $_POST is empty. I can't see the reason why the $_POST is empty on the first go, but after I press back and Submit again it works as expected.
  7. It's a built-in PHP function. I learnt about it on w3schools. I was also wondering if that was what was screwing things up - but there's missing output in the error case: it's as if the form post data is not actually getting through on the first shot.
  8. I have some php code to send me an email with all of an HTML form's data layed out. I load up the page, type in some random stuff and press submit. I then get this response: The from address provided is invalid! I press back - change nothing - and click submit again, and then I get this: (the correct response) The from address provided is invalid! ff55@gg name => Test from => ff55@gg contactno => 050505 msg => MESSAGE The same thing happens when I put in a correctly formed email address. I first get the error, press back, submit again and it goes through without a problem and I receive the email. Once it's worked once, it will continue to work when I press back and re-submit. Until I change anything in the form - then it gives the erroneous response once. Click back, submit again and it's back to working properly. This is happening in the pages dished out by the server, not on something I'm running locally. I am really at a loss here - don't know how I'm supposed to debug code which works every second time it's run O_o. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Here's the strange php code. <?php //first make sure from is sanitary $from = $_POST["from"]; $from=filter_var($from, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL); //this first cleans it, so that it contains the right kind of characters if(filter_var($from, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){ //this checks the resulting clean address for well-formedness $to = "myaddress@gmail.com"; $subject = "Feedback"; //$message = $_POST["msg"] + ; reset($_POST); while (list($key, $val) = each($_POST)) { $message .= "$key => $val \n"; } $headers = "CC: anotheraddress@gmail.com"; //mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers); echo "Thank you! We will get back to you shortly."; } else { echo 'The from address provided is invalid!'; echo ' '.$from.' '; reset($_POST); while (list($key, $val) = each($_POST)) { echo "$key => $val "; } } ?>
  9. Thank you very much! That article was very informative. The sRGB thing seems to have been the problem. It turns out that FF and Safari take the colour profile into account, while other browsers don't - hence the weirdness across browsers. Thanks again.
  10. Is http://www.mindionmusic.com/ your website? I am not seeing the navigation you speak of. Can you post a link to the page with the problem?
  11. I am having a very weird problem with my background image. Its edges are all #080808 (verified in MS Paint and Photoshop). I have set this color in the CSS (see below). When Firefox renders it in Windows it renders the edges of the background image at #0c0c0c. When FF renders it in Mac, it does #0a0a0a. Opera in Mac renders it correctly at #080808. Safari fails. Internet Explorer 8 renders correctly at #080808. What on earth is going on? O_o :/ body { font-family: Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; font-size: 19px; background: #080808 url(images/background.jpg) center top no-repeat; margin: 0; padding: 0; height: 853px; }
  12. Sweet, thanks Eric! You're a legend! You deserve some deliciously brewed coffee. :cool: Is there a better way to achieve this that is more compatible? Apart from that big background image method.
  13. I realised I should maybe post the CSS code. @charset "UTF-8"; /* CSS Document */ body { background: #1b1b1b url(images/bodytile.png) center repeat-y; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } #container { width: 1010px; margin: 0 auto; } #header { background: #1b1b1b url(images/headertile.png) top repeat-x; height: 167px; } #leftcol { background: #1b1b1b url(images/bgleft.png) top right no-repeat; float: left; width: 5px; height: 500px; } #rightcol { background: #1b1b1b url(images/bgright.png) top left no-repeat; float: right; width: 5px; height: 500px; } #content { background: #e9e9e9; float: left; width: 1000px; height: 1200px; } #footer { background: #1b1b1b url(images/footer.png) bottom center no-repeat; clear: both; height: 97px; }
  14. I actually want the image to overflow the div. I want the overflow to get cut off by the browser window, instead of making scrollbars to show the rest of the image. The reason for this approach is so that the browser cuts off equally from both sides of the border for smaller screen resolutions. If I used fixed width border divs, then for small screen resolutions the border divs will make the browser have horizontal scrollbars. The alternate I know to this way is to make a big background image with both border pictures, and a big blank area in the middle, and set that image as the background image. But this makes the image unnecessarily large, just for the big blank area in the middle, seperating the border images. Position:fixed did stop it from making scrollbars, but I want the image to scroll, not be fixed
  15. Thanks for the reference information. I'll read through them and just absorb the essential ideas, to have a reference later for finding bugs. I've just downloaded Firebug, and will have a look at it and the tutorial tomorrow - 1AM is approaching and starting to make my eyes feel sandy
  16. Yay!! That sorted things out - thank you. So does that mean setting the border has a side effect of setting the margin to 0? Thanks for the other comments, I'm glad you think it's mostly good. I've removed the width: inherit lines. I wasn't sure what stuff does and doesn't get inhertted, is there some kind of reference where I can find out about inheritance rules and default values? If the quotes aren't doing any harm then I'll leave them because my inner-programmer likes strings to look like that

  18. Ah, good to know! I'm slowly learning those little intracacies like that
  19. Great! Thanks a lot everyone I've got quite a nice little homepage coming along thanks to the help here, so it's much appreciated.
  20. Ok, that's what I had hoped I wouldn't have to do So fiddly and it'll break if a different font is used. I think I'll stick to just underlining and changing the colour. Thanks!
  21. I want to make the text of a link bigger when the mouse hovers over it, but when I add a font-weight: bold; or font-size: 120%; then it makes all the text next to and above it jump around. Any way to fix this?
  22. Oh, you beautiful person! That does the trick, and the margin-top had to be removed actually, otherwise there's a huge gap. Thanks a lot. I know a bit about XML and after checking w3schools' site where they show the img tag as I thought it would work with anything.
