I'd totally do that if I was a hamster

Okay, a couple of things to check for: Do you have any JS errors appear on that page? Do you have meta redirects disabled? (Not sure where this is in the normal options, but its easily disabled/enabled via web dev toolbar)
-
When you say it won't open, what exactly does it do? Crash? Timeout? Display a blank page instantly?

Free post! Woo! I have nothing of value to add to this thread, apologies.

Having javascript window popup passing variable to another page
Philip replied to cjkeane's topic in Javascript Help
Your href should have quotes around it + you really should be using an onclick at the least for nice degrading if they don't have JS turned on. <?php echo "<tr>"; echo '<td nowrap>' . $result['ContactName'] . '</td>' echo '<td nowrap>' . $result['ContactTelephone'] . '</td>'; echo '<td nowrap>' . $result['ContactPosition'] . '</td>'; echo '<td><a href="er_editrecord.php?ContactID=' . $result['ContactID'] . '" onclick="OpenPopup(\'er_editrecord.php?ContactID=' . $result['ContactID'] .'\'); return false;">Edit</a></td>'; echo "</tr>"; -
Can you provide an example (screenshot/image or live page with it) of what you're trying to accomplish?

Yup, see the attachment on where to change properties of each table in the diagram. [attachment deleted by admin]

For HTML5 + IE to play nicely, add this to the top of your CSS file. It will help with older versions knowing what HTML5 is. header,footer,section,aside,article,nav,summary { display: block } Also consider adding [ur=http://code.google.com/p/html5shim/]HTML5 shim[/url] which is a small JS file.

I personally vote for MySQL WB, has everything you'd ever need

Yup, I work (both pro & for fun) with a bunch of different JS frameworks: prototype, jQuery, mootools, etc.. It makes working with JS & cross-browser issues a lot easier

Wouldn't It Be Cool If CSS Would Have Variables?
Philip replied to chaseman's topic in Miscellaneous
Just wait for css-calc to finish in the specs -
It looks at the output, there is no way (without exploits, or remoting in) for a normal user or another server to see the server side file's source. I have no idea how you are getting your content to display, so what I meant by dynamic was for each one of those pages you should its own meta tag set. Since you're going through one file (index.php) I figured you probably were just including some files based on the get parameter. Sometimes people just include content from other php files, sometimes they include it from a db, etc.

I would transform your links into more human & seo friendly links, then generate dynamic meta tags. For example, http://bayarearcsociety.com/index.php?page=weather would turn into http://bayarearcsociety.com/weather/

I'm the opposite. I like Chrome's inspect a lot more that firebug. I also use Omnibug (web analytics plugin for firebug), WASP (web analytics) and Charles Proxy during development. Can you tell I'm an analytics specialist?

Well at 10k/month, thats only about 10-15 per hour which isn't much. I've used both Linode & VPS.net (yes, shamelessly inserting affiliate links)

Things I don't like: Video on homepage that autoplays. Users should have the option to start the video instead of it annoying them to death (I see this is only done on the first page load, but still..) I feel that the pricing page could use some work & add some colors or icons. I'm not a fan of the blog being that much of a different style than the site. Maybe that's just me -
Wouldn't It Be Cool If CSS Would Have Variables?
Philip replied to chaseman's topic in Miscellaneous
A very good point. However, there are times where variables & calculations will come in handy. A simple example could be creating a color swatch: @var $color_main #000000; @var $color_light = #FFFFFF; @var $color_accent = #00FF00; ... .this, .that, .foo, .bar { color: $color_main; } .php, .freak, .google { color: $color_accent; } You could list all of the classes/ids that are going to use one color (like above) and be as efficient as possible. However, I prefer readability by breaking them into sections such as the following, then minifying it for production. /* this and that at phpfreaks*/ .this, .that {color: $color_main; } .php, .freak { color: $color_accent; } /* foo bar at google's widget */ .foo, .bar { color: $color_main; } .google { color: $color_accent; } -

Philip replied to chaseman's topic in Miscellaneous
They are working on it in the specs, it's just incredibly complicated. You can use other tools/languages that result in CSS such as LESS -
We're not going to just give you a solution hamza. cssfreakie is right, it is a z-index issue, which his link provides a wealth of info

That does make me sad It also makes me sad I forgot you live in Dallas... Actually, its OK. SXSW has 3 parts: The most well known part - the music festival. I think it is 5 days total of music, of well known and upcoming artists. Remember, Austin is the Live Music Capital of the World! The film festival - which consists of many many film screenings. Most of which are artsy films, but still pretty cool when a big one comes in. And finally, the Interactive festival - which is what I'm attending. It's the lesser known part of SXSW, and basically consists of a bunch of web geeks getting together and talking about strategy, marketing, coding, etc for websites. Google, Mozilla, W3C reps, Microsoft (is releasing IE9 tomorrow at SXSW), etc as well as popular people such as 4chan founder, Felicia Day (from the series "The Guild"), etc showed up this year to present and discuss. That's just a basic overview of it. It's like the E3 convention for websites

Very true. A note I forgot to mention: when in doubt, ask for professional advice! (And no, most of us don't count as professional lawyers )
-
If you have any questions or need help with anything, let me know. I'll be more than happy to help you plan out your trip to Austin if you can make it! Just a note of advice: typically if you can get everything squared off by about mid-September, you're in good shape. Prices start to go up & hotels fill up quickly after that. But... September isn't for quite a few months

I'm going to guess it is a header issue, but I don't see any of the CSS you're talking about.
