There should be a 1 pixel high (black) row after "Show/Hide Specifications". In IE this appears as expected. In Firefox the row appears to be 3 pixels tall instead of 1.

What do I need to do to code tables correctly for Firefox? I'm still learning so please be nice.

I plowing along, trying to get a PHP script to work. I've using some pieces of code that I've gotten from other various sites saved as .php files. One I'm using displays a thumbnail of a filename that is past to it. No problem. I echo out a img src tag in my main script with the external filename and arguments and it displays it fine.

Now the problem. After chosing a thumbnail, entering some form elements, etc, it goes to another script that is suppose to resize the files in a directory that was chosen. It doesn't display the files, just copies them over to a new directory. This code is in a external file (in the same directory) named resizeandwatermark.php. How do I call this file from within (and pass it it's needed values, aka source and destiante filenames) my main php script?

I appreciate the help. I'm banging my head against this.

Hey, a friend of mine is starting up her own business, and she was wondering how to get her website to appear on google. Do meta tags do that?

Apologies. Web design ignoramus here.

Would anyone happen to have suggestions for a CMS which can run on a Windows SQL server? This is for a small company so I don't need anything huge, but something with support and ease of use would be great. Thanks.

I'm having a bit of a tiff with Firefox.

The site I'm working on (http://later.toastninja.net/test.html in its very, as you can see, early stage) looks fine so far in IE, but when I look at it in Firefox the content's DIV is wider than it should be and the border doesn't show up. The DIV is classed to a section on the main CSS (css.css), which has in it:

.box
{ border: 1 solid #000000;
background: #FFFFFF;
position:absolute;
left:100px;
top:220px;
width:600px;
padding:3px;
overflow: visible;
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 12px;
color: #000000; }

The bolded parts are what's causing me trouble. Anybody?

Rock on. ♥

I just got done designing a small website for a client. Everything looks good on my PC platform using all major browsers. However, he uses a Mac and just sent me an email saying some of the images aren't loading and some of them are being cut-off on the right hand side. This is the page in question: http://www.michaelhargrave.com/gallery.html

I have two questions:
1. As a PC user, is there any way to see what a website will look like on a MAC platform, i.e. a virtual website or something?
2. If you're on MAC and can see the problem can you recommend how to fix it since I can't see for myself?

Thanks in advance.

This isn't, strictly speaking, about web design. But I'm hoping someone here will know the answer to this.

A week ago on Friday I initiated transfer of a client's domain from EasySpace to 123-reg. I requested transfer in with 123-reg and then logged into the client's EasySpace account to initiate transfer out. As I'm sure everyone's aware, EasySpace charge an incredible £49 to transfer out, so I had to pay for this on the spot. The following day I get an email from TuCows telling me to go input the transfer key, which I do, and get the usual "transfer confirmed" message.

Four days later and the domain still hadn't transferred. As far as the client's EasySpace account goes, everything looked normal. The domain says it's pending transfer but, then - surprise! - suddenly the domain is a dead link and I can't log into the site by FTP. EasySpace say this is because the domain is in the final stages of transfer but - another surprise - 123-reg now say the transfer is cancelled because no-one responded to the admin email (the one containing the transfer key). I say I did. They say they have no record of it. Meanwhile the site has been down for four days and no-one seems to have control over the domain. My client by this time is furious. I told him that it would be an almost instantaneous process, because well - it always has been in the past - but now I feel like a prize idiot.

So on Friday the domain finally appears in my 123-reg management list. I thank the gods and go in to set up the web-forwarding to the new site. Check again an hour later. Nope, still not redirecting. Check again, three hours later. Still nothing. I ring them:

"The web-forwarding isn't working?"
"When did you set it up?"
"10am."
"It can take up to twenty-four hours..."
"I know that, but it never DOES!!! Can you check to see if everything's ok?"
"If you wait until the twenty-four hours is up..."
::sound of me slamming down phone::

The next day - oops - still not redirecting. I ring customer support and - surprise no.3 - they're shut all weekend!!! Meanwhile the client rings me at home on my mobile asking what the hell is going on, and all I can say is I'm trying sir, I'm really really trying.

And then today I check again and - lo - the domain is now working. And what explanation do I get?

Hi,
The domain name was missing a zonefile. I have now rebuilt this and the domain name will be working in 24 hours.

So can anyone tell me who I can blame for this??!

I'm working on a script that scans a directory, and allows the user to select a file to use as a thumbnail for a gallery that will be created. It's scanning the directories fine, but when I try to create a thumbnail of each picture it gives me the text of the file, not the image. You can see a sample at http://www.internetporngod.com/chanta/galleries/admin/input.php?direct=japan3

I've tried a couple of different classes to do that and keep getting the same results. I know my variables are pointing at the right files, because I changed the code to each out an "img src" of the image and it showed the full size images...

Using Rudy Rucker's FeedBurner as an example ... I thought I had at least a basic understanding of what's what, but how do those background images get in there?

I have a workable version of his page on disk ... looks fine ... but it's still fetching the images from the Feedburner site and I can't see why.

see feeds.feedburner.com/~d/styles/rss2enclosuresfull.xsl and feeds.feedburner.com/~d/styles/itemcontent.css

I /know/ I'm missing something simple ...

Hi guys, got this code to create a multiplication game for primary school children. But we are stuck on how to write vbscript for the end user to display "a question right". We also need this line to keep adding the number of correct answers, and to display the result. So that the last page will say "5 question right with images of 5 gold stars next to it. Cheers

I am wondering if I understand this correctly, do resellers purchase domain names and then resell them, or are they brokers for others to sell domain names?

One of mine got grabbed by a reseller, and their info page sounds like they act as an agent for others. Because of a nut case, I am wondering if they bought my name and did this for aggravation? It is my personal name, so has no value to anyone but me.

now i know every 10th entry posted here is in regards to hosting, but i would like to request that we compile a complete list of free and paid webhosts for personal and business use to commit to the community memories. that way anyone visiting the community can get the help they need without posting repeated requests for hosting suggestions, and we can constantly update it with new listings as we come across them. =) would anyone else find this helpful, or is it just me?

to start;

i'm currently looking for an affordable host for my .com domain (based in canada if possible). right now i pay $50 USD/year for 5gb of monthly transfer and 100mb of space, and i'm finding myself in need of more. i'd like to stay under $70 USD if possible since my domain is little more than a place to store images and movie files.

so far i've been eyeballing the following plans:

canaca.com (BRONZE PLAN)
domain registration - $10/year
domain transfer - $10/year
domain renewal - $20/year
hosting - $3.95/month (provided you sign up for a 24-month plan)
disk space - 10gb
bandwidth traffic - 200gb

directnic.com (BRONZE PLAN)
domain registration/transfer/renewal - $15/year
hosting - $3.95/month
disk space - 800mb
monthly transfer - 100gb

any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Hey all. I'm got a CSS question that I was hoping to find an answer for.

I've got a really simple page. two divs. one is an image, the other contains text.

What I want to do is overlap the two divs and have the text wrap around the first div. I can't seem to get it working.

Below is a screenshot and my code. any suggestions would be great!

hey guys,

I've been doing webdesign for a while, and have a pretty good knowledge of html. i am currently working on website for me and some friends of mine which will involve a photogallery with a lot of different subcatergories and seperate pages for each image, and it seems kind of pointless to go and create each seperate page for each picture, as well as keeping them under different catergories, photographers etc. i'd also like to have a very simple login and upload type thing so people can post pictures, define the catergory or subject, title, etc. maybe even something so that it automatically resizes the pictures to a set size. either way, this is beyond the realm of my web knowledge, and probably would involve php or something.

so, what i'm asking is, if anybody has a good knowledge of creating photo galleries with posting and sorting, etc (like a way paired down deviant art or something) i'd be willing to exchange some free web space and a subdomain (the website is polaroidbandits.com, so it'd be a totally hip domain to be hosted on haha) in exchange for helping me build this photogallery.

i'm pretty clueless when it comes to anything other than html and real basic javascript, so if you can help me out either leave me a comment or send me an email at tay@polaroidbandits.com

thanks!
