hello all. i'm a graphic designer with some web experience. html, dreamweaver, fireworks...the basics.

anyways, i did my first floating menu. but when i shrink the size of my web browser it makes the copy run behind the menu even though i made the columns all fixed widths except for the very right column of the page. any ideas? i appreciate it.

I've gotten into a syntax argument with a friend/coworker of mind over the code style I use.  To be exact, how I format strings to be printed to the browser.

In my defense, I argue that the below is better for the longer term because it's easier to change/add to the formated string this way.

And he argues that it will slow PHP down having to


function inputString($myID, $myValue)
        {
            $output = '<'
                    . 'input type="text"'
                    . 'size="120"'
                    . 'maxlength="254"'
                    . "id=\"$\"$myID"
                    . "value=\"$myValue\""
                    . '>';
            return $output;           
        }

Yes this is pretty petty but we got nothing else to do but bitch at each other right now.

His version is to have it all on one line.

I have this site which clearly needs optimization and I am working on that part. However, there is also an issue whereby the content is updated frequently and my boss is pretty upset about the fact that at times it requires a hard refresh of the browser to see the changes. While most of the internet viewing world understands this, he's worried that the client will grumble about it. And his worries are probably well-founded, if I know this client.

So I got it in my brain that I should consider some sort of tag/script/http programming that will refresh content on its own. Does this exist? What can I do? I have, so far, tagged the site not to cache but, of course, this causes problems with slow loading. On that topic, I had considered a preloader, but am not fond of having to use those and therefore, my images will have to be optimized and I must find a way to use less images. With the brain of a designer and not a developer, I did not employ the correct foresight in this regard. No big deal, there's always time for fixing that so long as the site remains online virtually constantly.

And so, what I want is to remove the no cache tag and find a way to "expire" the site and force the internet to reload fresh data as often as possible. Meta tags seem to be the easiest option, but after some extensive reading, I'm under the impression that they aren't always effective. I also did some reading about writing HTTP header data but I am also unaware of  how this is done.

Basically, if the client looks at the site and then over the course of the coming hours, I update the content, when he looks the next time, I need for him to see the new content on the first try, no refresh needed.

Any ideas?

I read the last post & don't have time right now to search for "One True Layout" right now (I'm demonstrating this site in a workshop tomorrow), but if anyone knows what to do about this, I'd appreciate it. Most people have raved about this site www.baltwashuus.org, but one person said that the word "Sermons" was out of place, though he didn't tell me which browser or OS. It's probably due to the resolution or font size and it's running over, but maybe not. Looking at it in IE 5.2 on a Mac, another line is out of place - the line starting with "Find" is all the way over to the left in the table, but the browser seems to see all the other spacer images and align properly. Why is it not seeing that one? I tried opening the browser wider and that doesn't change it. I hate using absolutes since I want it to be accessible to the visually impaired, but I might have to compromise. I obviously did compromise on this home page by using fixed table widths. Any suggestions? I appreciate whatever ideas you might have about it.

Greets all. I recently upload a css file, like I've done a million times. However upon viewing the page the style is applied to, the style hasn't loaded. Upon viewing the style in a browser window, I'm told the file is Forbidden. I receive the same message when I try to validate the file as well. Any ideas?

Up until recently I'd been using the multiple versions of IE setup to test pages in IE3-IE6. Now that IE7 is coming down the pike I decided to give that a try, so I made a folder with all my original IE files and installed the new browser. IE7 has installed properly but IE6 (from the copy folder) now won't work (but all the others do). Is there a similar fix available that will allow me to run IE6 in addition to 7 and 3-5.5?

Every time I click "Update Journal," the page loads partway, the ads start to load, and then either I get an "illegal operation" message or--this drives me crazy--the browser just closes by itself. The "illegal operations" just happened three times in a row. Right now I'm in IE. I just updated Netscape to 8.1.2, and I'm wondering if that might have had something to do with it?

(Also, sometimes Netscape will close automatically, with no warning, no matter what I'm doing.)

EDIT: I found out that I can fix this problem by going to Tools > Options > Site Controls > Click "Internet Explorer" button under Rendering Engine.

Okay, I admit it. I can't do it. I can't get my site to render correctly in Internet Explorer for Windows. The site in question is The Lucky Cat Studio.

I've been banging my head for four weeks Googling and trying to fix it so it'll work in IE for Windows. Can someone help?

My browser of choice is Firefox, and because I'm on Macintosh, I had to have a friend look at my site and tell me how it looked on his Windows XP Internet Explorer 7. Which is simply put, wrong.

My problem is that in IE for Windows, the main body (in white rounded boxes) appears below the sidebar navigation. It is supposed to appear on the right, next to the sidebar navigation.

Here is the CSS.

Thank ye Web Guru(s) in advance for help rendered.

So how many of you have begun testing with IE7 "Release Candidate 1"?

And can we discuss how to address the problem of Microsoft halfassing CSS standards, therefore rendering my perfect-in-all-browsers-but-IE-except-hacked-for-IE6-so-it-looks-perfect site incorrectly, hacked or not? Where is there a site that can tell me yet more hacks for this POS?

My anger is consuming me.

edit: ok i kind of spoke too soon. if i use the * html body hack instead of the !important hack, i can keep ie 6 and 7 separate because ie7 no longer supports the * html body hack .

it's not 100% perfect but it will do.
