    I like the display inline on the <li>'s of your horizontal menu, it's very efficient indeed, where did you get that from It looks so familiar. Although setting the ul to display block, is kinda odd. and you might want to set a min-width on your wrapper, to prevent the site from getting squeezed.

    Were you already able to do this without ajax? If not have a read on database handling, an excellent tutorial written my Crayon Violent can be found at phpfreaks: http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorial/php-basic-database-handling Ones you have that script working without ajax, It should be pretty do-able with ajax.

    10 k sounds more than it is for big companies any idea what 30seconds cost just before the regular news pops up on television? Most news website can ask that easily for a whole day. In your case you can't until everyone can buy a plane straight from his wallet. Don't allow flashy popup like adverts, have some sort of policy with guidelines for classy ad's. I think i would place the ads them self underneath the photos and maybe at a height of 50% of the images above them and as width as the whole page (900px i think it is). Or underneath the lists, just before Create an add text. You have that 3 times allready on the page, so I think it wouldn't harm to put a nice add between them. Just keep the nice space you use now.

    good one! Destramic glad you asked A lot of data from a database, is a typical example of raw data, in case you order it like a spreadsheet, so that is multicolumn, tables are perfect for that. In case it's just a simple list (1 collumn), rather use an <ul> a <dd> or a <ol> for it, depending on the situation The thing is, tables use quite some extra mark up (and are less readable), which is in case of 1 column is not needed. Besides that tables are often abused for layout. Even the friends of microsoft use it. (why? only they know) Anyway good question. (post it at my blog haha, love to answer it there to because it's nice in addition to the article) Cssfreakie

    No problem, you will probably earn a lot more more than with those random adsense or similar stuff. (certain websites make 10K a day just on 1 add) just make sure you track the clicks on the ads so you can back up your story in the selling. Select a few big brands, let them try for free, they have nothing to lose, so they would be idiots not to do so if the audience you aim for is right and the looks of the site are good (which they are). After those adds are online write to there concurrents that they can advertise for a small amount of money for a certain amount time don't be greedy (thats the first money in) after that try smaller companies they will come automatically because they see the top brands and assume its worth it. Just test out on a few to see the response on the fee you ask. Good luck and get rich !

    Well a bit of a problem is you are loading pages (and menu) dynamically and the validator ofc course only sees 1 thing and that is shown in your browser (while your pages/menu get included serverside) So Say we have a page(not a menu but a page) named monkeys, this page is in your folder named content/pages/monkeys.php. Thing is your pages do not have the <head> stuff in them. They only got the stuff that is included in div#maincontent. So what you could do is go to your homepage and right-click view-source and copy paste that whole page in to your favorite editor that shows line numbers. (because that is the line count the validator uses) after you pasted it, skim through it until you find the opening tag for <div id="maincontent"> (or simple press ctrl+f and type main content) Since everything after that is being included. So that is the number you need to keep in mind. Because you need to substract that from the number given by the validator, since the page you include probably starts at around line 1. In your case due to loads and loads of <style type="text/css"> tags (get them out there!) in your code for both your menu and your content. <div id="maincontent"> starts at line: 323 and after that your page is included So if the validator tells Line 400, in this case you know it's your page it's talking about since the number is higher than 323, so all you do is 400-323= 77, Assuming the content that gets included starts at line 1 (might very well be 2 or 3 but i don't know) you just go to line 77 of that file end edit it. Again this would have been much less of a search if you did not add the style tags directly inside your html, but just in the external style-sheet. (and i am afraid you did this on pretty much all pages you have) So for anyone else that reads this. Put styles in an external style sheet at all times, don't mess with styletags or inline style, not even for practice or testing bad habits are expensive time wise. Hope this helps Cssfreakie See here your code below, scroll down, that is line 323 where <div id="maincontent"> starts <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en" > <head> <meta name="google-site-verification" content="y_kspZkCZOQM-WGNB_lQ8BhJS8p7-B66hkHI_UhzKbs" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-language" content="en" /> <meta name="keywords" content="radio control, radio control models, model airplanes, model planes, RC airfields, model flying, flying models,RC airplane clubs, RC clubs,RC flying fields" /> <meta name="description" content="Index page for Bay Area Remote Control Society, Summerdale Alabama.

    well i tried a few simple things or your logging screen, but no success Only thing that might be something to think about is that, your website directly shows the username + rank of the admin. That probably happens at quite some websites, but it makes it easier I think because we don't have to guess the name only the password. But again i know very little of this Hopefully some real security guys are around to test it.

    I think these days they are all equipped with a webcam. Maybe send an email to the A brands and tell them you are doing some research on A brands that provide camera's in their laptop, and if they don't mind to back it up documented for a school assignment or something, but you need to back it up in order to get a high grades from the teacher. That's what i would do.

    As far as warnings it depends a bit, You could get a warning for instance if you use wicked new css3, but that can be ignored if you did that on purpose. As far as errors you should be able to remove them. Lets do a few of them the rest look pretty the same: So you go to :http://validator.w3.org/ and insert the domain you want to validate. In your case: http://bayarearcsociety.com Some errors (44) pop up: Line 21, Column 82: document type does not allow element "style" here action: put you styles in a external stylesheet or change to a less strict doctype, but i would not do that ( you have <style type="text/css"> </style> inside the body) Line 29, Column 10: ID "left-header" already defined indication:An "id" is a unique identifier. action: rename the id, or make it a class, since you use it more often (read my article? ) Line 130, Column 63: there is no attribute "language" action: replace language with: type="text/javascript" Line 130, Column 75: required attribute "type" not specified action: replace language with: type="text/javascript" Line 131, Column 98: required attribute "type" not specified action: replace language with: type="text/javascript" Line 144, Column 46: general entity "logo" not defined and no default entity action: a variable is missing a value, I have no idea what it's default value is out of my head. Line 144, Column 50: reference to entity "logo" for which no system identifier could be generated indication: This is usually a cascading error caused by a an undefined entity reference or use of an unencoded ampersand (&) in an URL or body text. See the previous message for further details. action: maybe replace the & with %26; not sure though havent tested it. I used this for it: <?php $var = '&'; $var = urlencode($var); echo $var; // outputs: %26 ?> Now if you read those errors they often give a short description of the error and after that it tells what might be the cause. As far as warnings/errors in your case ( a non commercial small society for model planes ), if you have time left remove them, but don't panic about it. Good luck!

    I meant a semi transparent png, gif's are transparent or not
  14. cssfreakie
    Also have a look at the lightbox plugin for jquery that just might be what you are looking for, but it's just a guess

    the moment that comes out, economies will collapse because all they can type is: "think ahead" and send it. The future is bright!
  16. cssfreakie
    well you add the stuff you find (I edited that a bit) and place it in the hover state, So in case it's a div <div class="transparent-class">your content</div> with class transparent do this: div.transparent-class:hover { filter:alpha(opacity=50); -moz-opacity:0.5; -khtml-opacity: 0.5; opacity: 0.5; } But you are going to have troubles with this because the transparent property of the div, is also the maximum transparency of the inner elements. (in other words you tect will become transparent too no matter what) Unless you use rgba, but that is not widely supported. So the best thing to do is create a tiny semi transparent giv in a color you like and let it repeat. div.transparent-class:hover { background: url(../images/my-semi-trans-image.png) repeat; } That's how i do it (just pay attention IE6,5 don't support transparent png's that well but if you google, they made a nice script for it in JS)
  17. cssfreakie
    Well there are multiple ways to do this, By either showing a pop up or something or maybe just changed your index file The index.php or index.html is most likely shown when someone types in your domain name. so for instance http://www.monkeys.org could very well be http://www.monkeys.org/index.php May I ask what you want to use it for, or do you maybe have an example of this (something you saw and thought oh that would be nice) so we can see what you mean.
  18. cssfreakie
    That gives me the underdog position, oh that sounds even weirder in this context.
  19. cssfreakie
    it's not a .fla, it's an swf file. Well that are probably some ways to nick it, try this: http://www.google.nl/#sclient=psy&hl=nl&q=download+.swf&aq=f&aqi=g5&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&fp=47b62fecd59497ff first result in google explains it.

    your right Steven, i am full of myself and i have no idea what i am talking about. I should also apologize for not showing my skills and identity in order to comment on your post. In particular in a forum like this with the subtitle: I wish I were able to reason just like you Steven, that military and university combo sure pays off. Anyways thanks for the kind words. Good luck with the study!
  24. cssfreakie
    My shorts for tomorrow

    as far as css you need to add a hover state (:hover) to your stylesheet for instance a:hover{ background:red; } On hover all links get a red background.
