[quote author=The Little Guy link=topic=116546.msg479924#msg479924 date=1165431617] how far do you see it? I see it about 5px from the blue navigation bar. is that what your seeing? I don't really know where else too put it. I moved the body content over some. [/quote] The width of the blue navigation (in my firefox 1.5.*) is like 150px in width. There is space between the edge of the links on the left to the edge of the blue column. The hover text then goes on the outside of the blue column over the white content :) Sorry its hard to explain, I can get a screen shot I guess it will help a bit. Instead of floating the explaination of the link on the content, why not put it above the links and change it in the blue column? or below the links?

Ok I have a small project at work to keep some of the employees entertained while they do their job and I am having troubles balancing the attack/defend portion of the game. I base their initial attack/defend power on their level.  They gain experience based on various aspects of the website they use in their daily tasks. What I am having troubles is when they attack each other. They earn 'soldiers' to fight/defend with so those numbers can vary. What is the best way to determine who wins in the battle? Ex: Player1 is lvl 10 with 1000 troops Player2 is lvl 8 with 800 troops Obviously Player1 is stronger than Player 2 Player1 is lvl 12 with 1200 troops Player2 is lvl 8 with 1500 troops Who should win this? I'm just fuzzy on the logic.  Also I plan on having bonuses like +1 to offense or +1 to defense. On a side note I currently add a small bonus modifier if a player is attacking another player who is higher level. IE Attacker Level > Defender Level.  Hoping that it isnt total hopeless for a lower level character to attack a higher level. Make sense?

I use a shopping cart with sessions and php.  When they click on a button it just adds the item to the cart and shows them the cart. I could see how javascript could be used to add to the cart without taking you to the contents of the shopping cart page.

Im not great at graphic work so the next few sites people have me making I'm getting my sister to help me. She loves the graphic side of webdesign, I too like the programming side of it. :)

wordpress.org is the one you can download ;) wordpress.com is the shared hosting site

Wordpress? They offer free hosting over at wordpress.com. If you want the blog software then you can head over to Wordpress.org :)

There are free databases. Look for Ip2Country they offer a database (cvs file) that you can use and do your queries against. You need to find the numeric representation of the customers IP address via a formula.  I do it for my employer's website to show various product that is only legally allowed to use in their country. If you can find the ip2country database, I can look and post my code for looking up the area based on their IP.

The header is nice and I love the logo. The flash navigation thing is cool, though I have mixed fillings about it. I like it because I have not seen one like it but I don't like it because it's flash ;)

Oh yea I forgot about the nl2br()s thanks, I'll have to look into that. Thanks

I dont like how the link's hovers load over the main content of the site.  Well the margin between the links and where the hover pops up is a bit.. far There is no header/footer If we find a problem or want to suggest something for you to demonstrate, how do we contact you? There is no form, email addy etc.

Ok I've been playing around with my little blog site: www.tingram.ca and went to a new online editor (FCKeditor) Anyway the spacing of the <p> tags in the blog entires are a bit, buggered up as you can probally see and I want advice/suggestions to clean it up, make it more uniformed and easy on the eyes. Yes I had ads on it. I'm testing AdSense to see how it works and the best way it works. I've had less impressions and click throughs then a few buddies of mine but I have more banked money ;) (anyway thats another story) The left side Recent Comment section is a bit... blah too and I would like suggestions on that as well. Ok I'm ready for the critizim... or am I? Thanks

Do you mean emails that you already have and you want to put them into a database? Or do you want to save an outgoing email into a database? Or do you want to be able to store incomming email into a database? I wouldn't know how to use PHP to retrieve email, but if it is possible you could put the body, header etc in seperate fields.

You could make it so that you use the Bcc field to insert the member's email addresses that way you only really send 1 email and it gets copied to all the recipients but doesn't show who got the email rather than looping your mail() function over and over and over and over again :)

I have a game I made at work for our production department to play with. Like others I started small. You can do basic attacking etc (which I still havent been able to balance properly) but aftger I get the attacking/defending done then I'll get into the bonuses and other features etc.

I am trying to figure out how I would go about making a solid colour more transparent so I can see what is behind it. I have a small box with an image behind it. I have text I have on top, but I want to place a gray color between the text and the image but have it transparent so I can still see the image behind the text but this makes the text stand out better on the various backgrounds it will be put on. Currently the background and text are in HTML and not part of the transparent type image I want to put in. Whats the best way to do this?

They could be using Apache's Mod_rewrite too.  The league and 1 could be arguments to another script.  Thought that's a bit trickier to get to work properly.

Anyway of showing us what the function [code=php:0] DisableDeliverymethod() [/code] does?

Curious what other people do about special characters in HTML while processing data with PHP. I've been using TinyMCE (and I'm starting to dislike it) and noticed that when I have submitted information with it via $_POST that TinyMCE actually converts things like " (quotes), ' (apostrophys) and things to their HTML equivalent. I would normally just use them as they are on the keyboard and then use things like [code=php:0]mysql_real_escape_string()[/code] to escape the apostrophys and such but this doesn't seem to happened because of what TinyMCE does. Do you escape your characters or do you convert them to their HTML entities prior to processing them from forms? I've also noticed that TinyMCE breaks my validation from time to time too.  Any other better WYSIWY javascript editors out there that have a similar footprint? :)

Is there a reason why you're using a tabe just to display an image? Also I'd put the table's arguments in " " ie [code] <table width="100% align="left"> [/code] Or use CSS for the table too :)

Does your function handle reversing the disabled setting?

I like it, seems nice and simple. I'd move the top navigational links below the header. But that's just me :)

What is the error you are seeing? Perhaps the username you are using is not allowed to connect from outside the server?

I noticed that you changed your webpage. The colors are a bit light. The Mint Chocolate Chip Icecream color is hard to see. The left navigation menu, I'd push the text a bit away from the left margin. I dont think the page needs to be 100%. I like to keep pages within 800px and then center it.  It makes the site look like it has more information in it or so I think it does ;) It seems to be a template still... since the <title> says Main Template. Perhaps adding some more CSS to the left navigation.  Maybe a:hover another color? Like the other posts have mentioned: Your portfolio sites are better than your own. If I was advertising myself as web design, I would at least make my site look as good if not better than the sites I have created for other people.

General:     - Background makes my eyes bugger out     - Loading times are a bit on the slow side for a site with just text The Left Navigation  :     - You're using different sized fonts when 1 size could be used     - In FireFox the forum items spill out past the left border     - The black font with dark blue background for the menu headers is hard to read Colors:     - There seems to be no color scheme? Google Ads:     - Its hard to read and I thought it was a regular link not an ad ;) Header:       - Perhaps increasing its height and adding images or such?       - A logo of sorts would look good

On the main page (I'm using FF 1.5) I noticed the boxes don't all align with each other. And on my screen (1280x1024) the captcha image on the registration page is a bit.. small :)
