I'm having some more difficulties with this client's website: http://www.mylbags.com/client_area/armetta/

I'm noticing something very troubling in FireFox. The menu buttons appear at the top of the screen partially covered by the top portion. The menu buttons for the portfolio also appear at the top and behind the top portion. Go here to see what I mean: http://www.mylbags.com/client_area/armetta/portfolio/work1.html Both of these sets of menu buttons are laid out in their own table. Is that part of the problem?

Please help me! Relevant CSS code is cut below.

About three months ago, my hard drive starting ticking and clicking. Then when I started my pc, nothing happened. The hard drive died. I decided to take it out to check out what the make it was. But when I put it back in, it started working. I must have resuscitated it. It's scary now cause I just bought another Seagate. A 160 GB this time. With the plethora of information and files I have (images, music files from my numerous cds - past and present, actually documents and reports that I've created, and of course my website - http://www.ladiorange.com), I'm scared of something like this happening again.

I was reading a post online, "Death of a Hard Drive", about this guy who put his speakers too close to his hard drive.... I started thinking back to 3 months ago... Did I do something like that? I can't remember, tbh. But what are some things I should avoid doing so that my hard drives to get messed up?

What about Seagates? Do you think they are better than Maxtors? I've read online horror stories about Maxtors. My own 20 Gig at home is a Seagate and, other than that one off incident, I think it's pretty reliable and quiet...

What do you guys think?

Here's a list of 16 essential extensions with a description and link for each one.

Check it out, Essential List and Resources on Firefox Extensions says that there's 6 "must have", 6 "should have" and 4 "good to have" extensions.

Do you agree or disagree?

I work for a great dot-com and everyone here is an expert in some aspect of the Web. As it happens the core techie team is much smaller than the other specialities. As a result it tends to be myself or my team who find new sites or recommend trustworthy technical resources and I'd like to widen that field a bit.

Yahoo has a system called My Web 2.0 (beta) which I'd love to merge with webdesign (this isn't cross-posted). I'm always torn when someone posts a link to a handy new site because when I'm grumpy it looks like spam but when I'm in a better mood the links are almost always useful. I want to get more webdesign recommendations but I don't want to encourage people to post links here more often! I think My Web 2.0 is the solution (er, no, I don't work for Yahoo!).

In short, I'd like to swap My Web 2.0 community invites with people on this group and with my work-based Yahoo alias. I'm Andrew and if you'd like my to invite you to the community you'll need to leave your email as a comment. I suggest either screening the comment so spam-bots can't find it or writing like 'andrew at angrysockpuppet dot com'. I wouldn't mind if people wanted to put their own sites into the system too but perhaps we could tag them "homepages" or "mysite", etc, or even "lj webdesign" as appropriate.

This is my first time posting here so hi!

Just a quick question... I've been asked to design a website and write a booking form for a local company that's just starting up. The thing is they want online payment which is something I'm a little nervous about setting up - I don't want to be sued by them if something goes wrong. I've had a brief look at eCommerce software already out there but the problem is they work on a catalogue basis which just won't work in this situation. So does anyone know of any eCommerce software that only deals with a payment system (i.e. via PayPal, etc) or one that has some form of catalogue that would be easy to bolt something else on to?

Has anyone had experience of writing software dealing with payments and have any idea how to "cover your arse" when doing so? This is the first time I've done such work for money so I don't want it to go wrong!

my roommate has a 54 Mbps NETGEAR WGR614 v4 wireless router but has lost the installation cd, the router is installed and working on her computer from when she first got the thing but we have no idea how to install the plug-in usb part on my computer without any installation software.
i downloaded the firmware offered on the net gear website but that didn't help. it downloads as a zip file and when uncompressed it's an adobe file and an IMG file which can't be opened (even by img file opener).
it says new hardware found when we insert the usb wireless thing and tries to search for "cohiba 3887 rev0"
both computers are running on Windows XP and we are trying to set up a home (wireless) network. also we have DSL.

help, i've no idea what to do and am so frustrated :(

Opera has now changed the rationale behind its future revenue generating sources. Instead of depending on revenue derived by the sale of its web browser, Opera will now be dependant on revenue derived from sources other than its browser sales. Opera is now betting on increasing its revenue from search and service partners.

Starting today, Opera's 8.5 version will be free and without any ad banner or licensing fee. The idea behind this new marketing buzz according to Jon von Tetzchner, the CEO and founder of Opera, is to become the second most used browser, bumping Firefox from that position. Tetzchner wants to lead the pack, but since, IE comes embedded in Windows, Opera is targeting instead at Firefox to increase its sagging web browser market share.

Free Opera....Soon To Be Number Two expands on Opera's new marketing strategy to weaken Firefox's mainstream preference.

Will the Fox surrender market share, or will it fight back?

Cheers,

Omar.-

I just joined this community, looking for some help with, hey, webdesign! My names Katharine and I'm a student at Northeastern University in Boston. So errr hi! Anyway, I just got shouldered with designing a web page for a group I'm in, SWE, and I'm having trouble getting the frames to work properly... I'm trying to edit the buttons on the sidebar (they're old, we don't want all the pages anymore but our moderator likes the design), but when I edit them I can't get the links to open in the center frame. They either open in the side frame or open in a new window. Anybody know how to help me out? Or help me help myself?

The website is http://www.coe.neu.edu/Groups/swe/
(go figure, a buncha engineers can't seem to make a website)

Thanks in advance for the help!
And if I'm totally in the wrong place, lemme know, ok?

I've been maintaining a single personal website for a number of years now, but now the rest of my family wants to get in on the act, and have their own websites, too. We signed up for a shared hosting account that advertised multiple domains, but after we got it set up realized that this was not what we wanted at all. Rather than several independent domains, we had one domain and several others that were aliased to the main one. I reasoned that surely there was a way for the host to set it up on the server the way we wanted it, but apparently not.

So I have two questions: First, is this the behavior I should expect from a shared hosting account, or did we just end up with a bad host? In other words, are there shared hosts out there that will support multiple, independent domains on a single account, or is this not even possible? And second, if not, what kind of account do I need to do what I want to do?

From the little I've been able to figure out, it looks like a reseller account might be my ticket. But I honestly don't know what I'm doing at all. If a reseller account is what I need, do any of you have hosting suggestions?
