DON'T use absolute positioning. It's a lot of code and it's inflexible a lot of the time. Instead, use some other CSS method, like one from [a href=\"http://www.bluerobot.com/\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.bluerobot.com/[/a]. Without that kind of method, you basically can't get it to scroll down. However, there is also the clear: both; method of positioning the footer, if you're interested.

Um... yes, of course I did. I definitely didn't edit my post to not make me look stupid... [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/unsure.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":unsure:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"unsure.gif\" /]

I'm still a big fan of [a href=\"http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html\" target=\"_blank\"]whatever:hover[/a] myself, but Obsidian's method works too.

It's nice, definitely. My complaint? If the content isn't the full height of the window, the bottom just stops. Outside of that it's great.

Yes. However, there is a way to store files into the database; I just don't know how, and Dreamweaver can't do it.

Personally, I've always found that this is a handy solution: Create an unordered list and remove all of the list image, dots, other stuff attributes and make them float: left;. Then just repeat the <li> elements with the <img> elements within them for a grid display. If you give them a specific height and width, then they should work out pretty well.

Do you mean copying-and-pasting into your site code, or active importing. If you're importing the code from another site, there's nothing you can do to change it then, aside from either convincing them to change their code, or figuring out your own way to do the same thing.

Just cut out the style attribute. Also, you should have it all in lowercase-that's the XHTML and HTML4.1 recommendation, anyhow.

You actually don't need to use the * a in front of every universal declaration. Just get rid of it.

[i]More Eric Meyer on CSS[/i] starts with an entire section dedicated to redesigning table-based layouts in CSS. There's also the Sitepoint books, those are always handy.

I dont speak a good english. if you want to see my site [a href=\"http://www.digital-arts.com.mx\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.digital-arts.com.mx[/a] I am learning to design, this is my new proyect. [a href=\"http://digital-arts.myftp.org/usuarios/codemaster/\" target=\"_blank\"]http://digital-arts.myftp.org/usuarios/codemaster/[/a] is only a test. have a nice day aldo Zapata [/quote] You realize that, if you want to have your site looked at, you could just start your own thread, right? Also, I've found that if you were to re-create that design with CSS, you probably could cut down on the size of everything by close to 1/2, simply from removing the <td> tags and the image rollovers. It's a great design, really: I like it. However, your coding techniques are really pretty outdated. Also, were you using Dreamweaver to create that?

You know, I'm pretty sure that your new subforum idea got shot down.

So long as you use a publicly available forum system, it can be hacked. The only way to get this as safe as you probably would like it would be to create a completely new forum system. FreaksBB has a catchy ring to it...

Only problem? Seems that PHPFreaks is looking for another forum system. So if this forum system gets replaced, any work that goes into it goes away.

I've got a question about your site: what are web design ethics? Can I do evil while making a web site?

Is the MySQL server on another computer? If so, you can't connect to it unless it's specially set up to allow remote connections.

You aren't going to find something to make that easy, and you shouldn't; it's really just not very good design technique.

WAAAAAAYYYY too many links there on the front page. I've heard of "less is more" but this is taking it to the extreme. The header image is disproportionate with the rest of the page, and the link cloud at the bottom is overcrowded and hard to navigate.

Good to get feedback from experienced coders. What do you recommend I use instead of tables? [/quote] Wow. I'm an experienced coder now? I must be doing better then I thought.

Tables are (a) very resistant to CSS design. It's easy to screw them up when you use CSS on them if you're not careful about it. (b) CSS designs are flexible-if you want to switch the left and right columns, you can. And © a lot less markup. Don't you want to stop typing <tr><td> everywhere? This and other reasons are explained elsewhere on the web-that's just the basic run-down of advantages.

Stop using tables! Stop using tables! Stop using tables! Those are the easy answers. The other answer is to set you're cellpadding and cellspacing values to zero for all.

I think that it's a puzzle, not a website, because there is no website component to it. All it is is a web-based puzzle.

Built in? Not as far as I know of. You can use the color coding as a guide though-if it looks all the same color, you probably did something wrong somewhere.

So, what does that have to do with website critiquing?
