I don't know what's going on...
Date: 10/27/07
(Web Development) Keywords: browser, html, web
I've been doing (fairly standard) web design for over 10 years now as a hobby, and I thought I understood simple stuff like aligning text, but it seems not!
Can someone explain to me what is going on here, and how I can fix it?
http://www.briarrosegallery.co.uk/test.html
The text in the main area, with the 'welcome' gif and 'this site has been made....' is supposed to be aligned to the left. Nothing (that I can see) in my code centres it, and when I look at it in dreamweaver it appears on the left. But when I view it in a browser, either online or just using the files on my PC, it is always centred!
Please someone tell me what's going on because I've been staring at this for some time now and I just don't get it....
thanks hugely :)

Making my page work in IE vs. Firefox
Date: 10/28/07
(HTML Help) Keywords: html, web
So I'm building a website for my place of employment (my riding stable) and having a lot of fun, since I really only know basic html.
Right now I'm building it in frontpage. It doesn't have to be something super fancy, just funcional. Anyway, I just discovered the whole "div" layers thing which I like since that means that my pages should work in any setting.
However, it seems like my div layers aren't working on IE because the content of my layer goes all the way to the right of the background picture, spreading out my website so you have to scroll horizontally, which I want to not have happen.
So is it just that div layers do not work in IE? And what would be an appropriate fix to make the contents of my page stay to the left? I tried a table, with a specified width, but it didn't like that. Plus, since my background image is my banner and my navigation links are on the left side, I need the table to situated just below the "banner" part of the picture and just to the left of the links.
Here's a link for you to see what I mean:

Can anyone help with this? I'd appreciate it! Thanks very much.

places to buy domain names and web hosts

I am in need of some assistance.
I'm trying to come up with options for really good places to both host a webpage and purchase a domain name.
I need options for a site that's more than likely not going to get very big.
Right now I use http://www.nearlyfreespeech.net for my own website, but this'll be for someone elses, and I don't want to pick something just because I use it, even though I'm very happy with their service.
SO, please can anyone help me with places that they've had a really good experience with?
I would greatly appreciate it.

$100 for a webpage
Date: 10/31/07
(WebDesign) Keywords: css, web
I’ve a little project in mind which requires a simple website. What I need is a single web page designed – a template, if you will – and some basic graphics (which can be royalty free/legal clipart) to accompany it.
As this is a little project my budget isn’t huge. In fact, I think $100 is about appropriate. Whereas that’s certainly not enough for a whole website all I’m asking for here is a single page design.
I’d prefer something done in CSS. If you like to code with accessibility in mind then that’s very much what I want.
I’ll pay by PayPal.
If you’re interested then please drop me an email at ‘the’ ‘at’ ‘arhg’ .net. If I get a lot of interest then I’ll probably want to see portfolios. I’ll get back to people with a little bit more detail with what I have planned.
Thanks!

Creating a better Go Program (an article by IEEE)
Date: 11/01/07
(Algorithms) Keywords: software, asp, web, microsoft
Cracking GO By Feng - Hsiung Hsu
First Published October 2007 < http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/oct07/5552 >
Brute-force computation has eclipsed humans in chess, and it could soon do the same in this ancient Asian game
In 1957, Herbert A. Simon, a pioneer in artificial intelligence and later a Nobel Laureate in economics, predicted that in 10 years a computer would surpass humans in what was then regarded as the premier battleground of wits: the game of chess. Though the project took four times as long as he expected, in 1997 my colleagues and I at IBM fielded a computer called Deep Blue that defeated Garry Kasparov, the highest-rated chess player ever.
You might have thought that we had finally put the question to rest—but no. Many people argued that we had tailored our methods to solve just this one, narrowly defined problem, and that it could never handle the manifold tasks that serve as better touchstones for human intelligence. These critics pointed to weiqi, an ancient Chinese board game, better known in the West by the Japanese name of Go, whose combinatorial complexity was many orders of magnitude greater than that of chess. Noting that the best Go programs could not even handle the typical novice, they predicted that none would ever trouble the very best players.
Ten years later, the best Go programs still can't beat good human players. Nevertheless, I believe that a world-champion-level Go machine can be built within 10 years, based on the same method of intensive analysis—brute force, basically—that Deep Blue employed for chess. I've got more than a small personal stake in this quest. At my lab at Microsoft Research Asia, in Beijing, I am organizing a graduate student project to design the hardware and software elements that will test the ideas outlined here. If they prove out, then the way will be clear for a full-scale project to dethrone the best human players... (full story at the above website)

design moving out of place
Date: 11/01/07
(WebDesign) Keywords: html, web
I'm working on a website based on a free design template and I've run into a problem. When I add more text to one of the pages the whole design jumps a few millimeters to the left. Take a look at the site here. Click on the "Another tab" tab to see how the design changes. Why does this happen and what can I do about it? This template is slightly out of my league when it comes to html knowledge, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Help Help HELP!
Date: 11/01/07
(WebDesign) Keywords: php, html, web
Hi guys. I come to you out of desperation!
Well, not desperation, but I am pretty dang confused.
I just bought myself a domain recently with godaddy.com, but now I have no idea what to do with it. What I wanted to do with this domain was just to have an upload.php page available to myself only (possibly password protected or something?) so I could have a place to upload all of my art and garbage like that. I just got sick of using photobucket and crap, so I thought I'd do this.
A friend of mine also had this setup. She had a website (also domain purchased from godaddy.com) and it wasn't... really a website. You'd go to the main page, ie www.whatever.org and it would just be a filler page she designed that said 'coming soon' and behind that, there was a url that was accessible to herself only for uploading.
I have no idea how to achieve this. I have the php script saved as a .html document but I don't know what to do with it!
Help?

Help to choose a CMS
Date: 11/03/07
(Web Development) Keywords: cms, php, templates, web, shopping
I need to choose a CMS and roll out a website fairly fast. I've never used a CMS before and I don't have time to test several of them, please help me to choose. I've narrowed the field to Drupal, Joomla and ModX, but let me know if I've overlooked anything good. I don't mind coding but won't have a lot of time for this, so the more I can have out of the box, the better.
What I need:
This is a site for a professional organization with paid membership. This site will be edited by volunteers who don't know anything about web development, so I need to create a separate minimalistic back-end for them, that doesn't show any admin functions.
I'll need a calendar, user registration with custom form (and SSL), some members-only pages, forum, possibility of user rating/comments on resources, possibly shopping cart. Also some kind of bookmark app, so users can see a list of their favorite site resources when they log in. I'll also need to provide a chance for state-level organization to have their sub-sites with their own navigation and graphics, but using our templates.
As all this is probably hard to find in one package, I'll need above all flexibility and to be able to integrate easily with other PHP scripts.
Please help, I have to make a decision in the next few days. Thanks!

Yet another mod_rewrite question: tilde home directory expansion
Date: 11/04/07
(PHP Community) Keywords: web, apache
Mod_rewrite seems to be the flavour of the month. I'm trying to use it on a web server that's currently set up without a domain (the domain will be switched to this server when development is finished). So the currently the site lives on a url similar to:
http://webhost-14.test.com.au/~goc/
But the catch is that the expansion:
http://webhost-14.test.com.au/home/goc/
is not true. So when mod_rewrite expands it I get a 404. :(
Sooo... how do I tell mod_rewrite not to expand home directories?
"Home directory expansion
When the substitution string begins with a string resembling "/~user" (via explicit text or backreferences), mod_rewrite performs home directory expansion independent of the presence or configuration of mod_userdir."

trouble with blending
Date: 11/04/07
(HTML Help) Keywords: css, web
Hello! I'm somewhat new to image maps, and have copied the basic codes for this layout from someone else. I wanted to add my own header and background to the codes and keep the links, and I wanted the header I made to blend in with the pattern for the background. However when I view my journal, there is a large white border around my header which I don't want. I'm not sure if this has something to do with the image map or not, but could someone please take a look at my codes and tell me where I went wrong? Or perhaps a better set of codes to achieve the desired affect (to get rid of the white border around the header image, so the header and background blend together). thanks so much!!
Here's a link to my journal, as it looks now:
