I am looking for a program or a script (or anything really) that will give me some functionality like excel. Basically, I am making a list of names and each name will have about 10 columns of information with yes or no in them, and I want to be able to sort this alphabetically, or by one of the other columns as well.

Is this even possible in web forms? I know you can do it with web based emails (like sorting by name, date, or size) but I am not sure if you can do it with other information, or how.

Thanks. :)

Does anyone have some sort of clever idea for this.

Imagine that you have a series of nested folders.

URL/A
URL/A/images
URL/A/B
URL/A/C

Now normally the website for C would be URL/A/C/index.php and using img src='/A/images/something.jpg' would work just fine.

Except that for some reason we have another domain name / url prefix that points the web root to URL/C. Meaning img src='/A/images/something.jpg' does not work because now it is looking at /A/A (folder does not exist)/images/something.jpg.

Still more annoying, our users are retarded sheepish and afraid of warnings from IE in the event of say using a full filepath ( http://URL/A/images/image.url ) since the domain is different it throws a security warning that "we cannot afford to have". Argh.

I have no control over the domain name and it is not going away anytime soon much to the rest of our grievances.
Does anyone have an "easy" way to deal with this problem? I suppose I could use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] to detect it, but that seems like an awful lot of work, considering I'll have to do it for every image on the stupid site.

(this is why people should not be allowed to access the same webpage from multiple URLs *grumble*)

I have no idea what the "official" name is of what I want to do.

I'm looking for the best (and easy) way to create a login (database?) system for a website. Basically a form that someone fills out (email addy, login name, password) to register.

I feel like such a moron, but anyone know of any great resources on-line or books that can explain how to do this?

Greets folks. Work has been slow recently, so I decided to give the website an overhaul. Personally I think it's quite busy and cramped and well... laid out with tables. It was basically built from a template before my arrival.

Anyway, here's what I have come up with and I'm looking for a crit and such. If you have anything you like or dislike, by all means let me know. I'm trying to simplify things while maintaining the current info.

So, be harsh if you must, I won't get offended. Thanks all.

P.S. For some reason, the Give to the College button is wonky in Mozilla-browsers for Mac (Why? I don't know.) Also, the conditional will not load the specific IE 6 style (Why? I don't know.). Other than that, I believe everything works in most browsers as well as validates.

I haven't been doing web design for a few years and I just want to be sure that I cover all my bases. Which browsers should I test on. I've got Firefox, Netscape, Internet Explorer and Opera. Are there anymore that you would recommend? Is there a browser that I didn't mention that you think is fantastic? Let me know. Also, I use Microsoft Windows XP (PC) because I know sometimes Mac/PC factors into what people think is or isn't wonderful.
