I am having some problems setting up a website using CSS. Below I put the code for two divs, one above the other. For some reason, the second will not span the entire width of the screen in Windows IE6. It goes almost all the way and then stops. I've had this same problem on other websites too. Any advice? Thanks!!!!

div.top  

  {

  text-align: center;

  position: absolute;

  top: 0;

  left: 0;

  width: 100%;

  height: 227px;

  }



div.top2

  {

  background-color: #A2A09D;

  text-align: center;

  line-height: 1;

  position: absolute;

  top: 227px;

  left: 0;

  width: 100%;

  height: 155px;

  }

Someone said they might like to see how to do the PHP Style Switcher, so I finally got around to writing a tutorial. It's here. It was written in a hurry, if anyone has questions, just let me know. To date I've seen 3 website besides my own that use this technique.

I have tried to get BBClone to work with our (.shtml-page format based) website, and it's proving more and more frustrating than productive. It will be perfect once our redesign is complete and PHP is integrated...but for now, I can't seem to get it working properly.

Our server has a full-on web tracker program already installed for most tracking needs, but I am in need of a simple program that can track and count hits for a "Top 10 visited stories" feature we need to run & update weekly.

If anyone has experience in a newspaper/journalism website formats with a program/counter like I am needing...info or help would be much appreciated!

i've got a client who wants a random image generated for the home page (they're will be 4 images in total) BUT he wants that one image to remain for every page thereafter. for example, homepage generates "image3" in the header, when user clicks on the "about page" (or whatever), that same "image3" will follow the user throughout the site. is this possible?? if so, explain. thanks!!

How much do you think this site cost to design and develop? In other words, what might you charge and how long do you think it would take? Please estimate with the assumption that the programming for the apps (job search, registration, application, etc.) was already done. All the designer was responsible for was creating the look and feel, and developing the HTML around the code blocks for the apps.

I wrote this blog post about how I hate blogs (ironic?). It was a little more than that, I was actually talking/thinking about how a lot of content is put into a blogging format... content that could be best delivered other ways.

Usually when I vomit out ideas, I generally find that I'm well behind the curve. Thus, I was wondering... does anyone know of CMS software that exists that is taylored for E-Zines or an Essay Archive similar to the stuff I'd posted about?

Suggestion (open to discussion):
when the a posted problem is solved, the post author should edit it and, for example, add "[solved] " to the beginning of the title.

Having a brain freeze, sorry.

I'm trying to make it so that a parent window opens a new child window (full size, no pop up shennanigans!) and then closes itself - the parent is a snap to fit, and the child would be a full size because they've moved to a new section of the site.

so far, my code looks thusly :


< a href="javascript:window.open('http://pagehere.html', ' '); window.opener.close( );" >

which, as you might guess since I'm asking you guys...isn't working. and everything I google is telling me that I can't close the parent window...any suggestions?

ETA : Sorry, I keep forgetting they invalidated the < pre> code on LJ.

Hi there. I have to create a message board / discussion forum for a health care fraud community.

Can you give me some examples of good looking message boards?

Don't want anything too clunky like those message boards on craigslist. It has to have a classy feel for professionals and be very easy to use. It'd also help if it matched my logo



Thanks!

Hello, I am a long-time lurker to this community and have always found the advice given to other quite helpful in my webmastering/design endevors. I work for a local newspaper running their website, and have a small issue that I could really use some helpful advice on.
Any fingers pointing in the right direction would be much appreciated!


The newspaper website I run is looking to do some major much-needed updating, and implementing a "Top Jobs" database option is one of them. Much in the light of larger websites like Yahoo Hot Jobs, and even smaller newspaper websites such as Lawrence-Journal World (Kansas), we are looking to have some kind of rotating script/database that will pull randomly from our uploaded employment classifieds and display links to these ads on several pages of the website (in the designated "Top Jobs" display box that will be created and placed on these pages).

I am really lost on even how to begin this project, as it was most recently presented to me that this Top Jobs section should include ALL of the employment ads posted (which can number over 300 at times), and rotate them on a normal basis so that each one has airtime, several times a day. Doing all of this by hand would take DAYS!

What I believe we need is a server side internal database with a perl script written that would automatically pull these ads off the .shtml pages created for the employment classifieds. If you have any info on how to go about obtaining this, or know any information on how to even go about doing this (assuming I am incorrect)....please let me know!

I would be very greatful!

I was redesigning my altblog, and I noticed an annoying IE bug; everything after a blockquote containing lists in it gets skewed a few pictures off to the left, out of the div, and disappears. That is;

You know those lovely tiny little icons that appear next to a URL? Like Livejournal's little blue pencil?

Can anyone refer me to instructions on how to do it?

I presented my employer with an idea of starting some podcasting feeds for online marketing.

Anyone here have any pointers to share?

I am trying to present a "low-cost" if not possibly free alternative.

Thanks in advance.

So I just came across this at Slashdot right now and figured maybe some of you would like to see it (if you haven't already).

Standards and CSS in IE

I'm not seeing many of the IE bugs on there that have been making me bang my head against the desk lately, but it's good to know that they're at least going to try to fix some things and support CSS a little better.
