  • Any ideas on how I would go about setting up this website?

    Thanks for the reply! I'm not sure I understand what CodeIgniter does. It says it's a framework, does that mean it is a selection of scripts thatyou edit to do what you want? Or it is more like a library so you can write PHP similar to th…

  • Time Greeting

    I've just had a look at your site and it says 'Good afternoon' for me. I'm in Spain and it's 16:35 here, so it seems to be working fine.

  • Constructive Criticism of my personal site please!

    Hi everyone, Thanks for all of your comments, I've implemented a few of them. But as for the 'white text, black background' thing. For now I want to keep it as it is, but next time I change the site I will bear that in mind and try s…

    I suppose you are right, it just feels like a bit of a cheat! The website is pretty much finished now, what do you guys think of the design?

  • Problem in IE - Really need help here

    Brilliant, I didn't know that was possible! Ok with it forced into compatibility mode at least it works for now. Any idea where I should start looking to get this sorted for real?

  • Problem in IE - Really need help here

    Hi Rob, thanks for your input. I have removed '#main-nav li.current_page_item' and that doesn't seem to make any difference, but as you say, no point having it there anyway if it's not needed. I tried adding '!important�…

  • Problem in IE - Really need help here

    "TheDoc" said:Very odd indeed! One thing, this may not solve your problem, but IE sometimes doesn't like it when there is a space before the Doctype. Make sure the Doctype starts on line 1. Thanks for your help TheDoc, I didn'…

    Thank you for replying! I know that Wordpress uses a database, I was describing his current site, which has the properties listed as plain HTML files. Unfortunately your answer is what I was expecting meaning that I have a lot of copying and pasti…

    Hi there, Yes that's correct, the only problem is with Feedburner you only seem to be able to customise the intial 'now activate your account' email, and nothing after that really. I want there to be another email saying something al…

  • Adding a query to url....

    I have read through that page you posted a few times and I think I have it working now. But do you have any idea what the links should be on the menu to keep the following pages in the current language?

  • Multi-Langage website

    Thanks for your replies. I don't think the site really needs a CMS, other than to make it easy for the customer to edit later. The only changing data will be a page that is changed every month, last months contents will be moved to a differen…

  • Multi-Langage website

    As far as I am aware, there are two options when doing a plain XHTML/CSS website: 1) A portal page with a language selector, where each language is in a seperate folder on the server 2) A 'change language' button on each page which will s…

  • CSS problem

    You can have multiple CSS files. But I am pretty sure that the last instance is used, so you need to remove any styling from the Garage door CSS file that is already in your main stylesheet.

  • Constructive Criticism Needed

    I'm going to sort the buttons first, then address the area with the quick search box and the car, then when that is done I'll do the rest of the page. It seems to make sense to do it from the top down. Thanks again though! I'm look…

    You need to go through the CSS from DHTML goodies that I posted, and change that to match your own styles.

    Malice: I appreciate all criticisms, it's good of people to even bother looking! The problem with the buttons is I can't really think of what would be better. But now that you have mentioned that my boxes are web2.0(i followed a tutorial s…

    I see what you mean about IE6, nasty! Would different images look better for the menu? What about the content box styling? Would that be better done another way? Assuming it is all lined up properly, would there be anything else that might improv…
