I would have to agree with mobermk - the javascript and color scheme needs attention You should also [a href=\"http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ffinder.leto.za.net%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline\" target=\"_blank\"]validate[/a] the code.

Unfortunately, that is to fix an IE bug. ive posted screenshots of IE vs Opera to demonstrate. If anyone is aware of any fixes for the bug, i would greatly appreciate it. IE is ignoring my css {width:150px;} [a href=\"http://img361.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ie7andopera2un.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"][img src=\"http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/4850/ie7andopera2un.th.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IPB Image\" /][/a] on the left is IE7, Opera on the right. As you can see IE screws up...

[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]You also have all fields aligned left and the buttons centered, looks way off (firefox).[/quote] Yeah. thats not just FF, same in IE and Opera I agree with what ober and AndyB said - if you want someone to test your site, give them a user name and password to use. That way, the irritation of having to sign up for an account is less likely to show when they critique your site

[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]What do you plan to do with the left column?[/quote] That hasn't been finalised yet. It will either be something page specific, or it will have a short bit of info about the services. I might also put their affiliate, ASE's logo and some info there. [!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]The menu can use something to spice it up[/quote] They menu was rollover buttons at one stage, but i removed them and switched to css-based navigation. If any one has any suggestion regarding the navigation, i welcome them :D [!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]The clients page looks terrible, a verticle line of text that is centered[/quote] I agree. That page especially is too empty. I was considering adding the client list to the about page instead?

No, i mean, is there a way to join 2 images together on top of each other? so i will have the background set to an empty 'shell' (the above picture without the apple logo). and then get php to add the picture in (the apple). That way they will be combined to form 1 image, which the javascript slider could move around.

[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]Have it like a FILM roll [/quote] Nice idea, I were considering putting it in a sort off olden day like movie film border.. Like with the holes on the top and below. Was considering something like this: [a href=\"http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/4145/appleif1he.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"][img src=\"http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/4145/appleif1he.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IPB Image\" /][/a] Ideas, suggestions? In particular, does anyone know offhand if it is possible to use php to add the black and white border on the top and bottom? That would save a lot of time in the long run... [!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]have some opacity[/quote] Will play around with that, thanks

[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]I'll agree with the previous two posters-they basically hit everything I see wrong with it, excepting the use of tables. [/quote] My previous draft of the site used css-positioned divs, but IE in particular was having problems, so i decided to use tables and change it when IE becomes more... user friendly - hmm, not sure if thats the right word... [!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]Also, the only resolution where I don't get any sort of scrollbars is at 1280x1024. I'd suggest that you maybe make that a fluid-width site.[/quote] Currently, the site is fluid width. The page expands to 100%. [!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]That scrolling is WRONG - Put a nice Slow FADE between images in your header if it must be that way.[/quote] As moberemk said, the client wants it. I have tried to persuade them otherwise. To get back to one of my original questions, is the email validation on the contact page sufficient?

Well, it looks quite nice. But you may want to consider validating it. Your home page fails validation with 110 errors for HTML 4 Transitional [a href=\"http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fbeanbagzilla.com%2F\" target=\"_blank\"]W3C Validator[/a] Good Luck

[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]1) What resolution are you designing for and is it fixed? Resizing my browser window didn't affect the website at all, which is normally fine, but it appears you have it set for a 1280x1024 resolution... that's high for the majority of your users. [/quote] The website is optimized for 1024x768, although it is not fixed width per se. [!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]2) The scrolling banner image is both annoying and unecessary. You could achieve the same results with a static image.[/quote] Unfortunately, that is a client's request. I have tried to persuade them otherwise saying that the scroller is pretty bandwidth intensive, but they were adamant they wanted it. [!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]4) The black titles that show up inside your little blue gradient boxes are hard to read.... black text on dark blue? Are you serious? [/quote] I have changed the text's color from black to white. Pls let me know if it is an improvement, or if i should change the gradient thing.

[a href=\"http://www.avlacademy.co.za/productions\" target=\"_blank\"]AVL Productions[/a] Ok, this is for a company that does the audio, video, lights and staging for many productions in south africa. The left colomn's content is not finalized at the moment, so pls ignore it for the time being. I am aware of one or two minor compatibilty bugs, namely the nav bar positioning in ff and opera, and the contact form page.. Also i'm not sure if the email validity check on the contact page is good enough? i'm using [code]eregi("^[_\.0-9a-z-]+@([0-9a-z][0-9a-z-]+\.)+[a-z]{2,6}$",$email)[/code] Thanks in advance

How would i get php to find the name of the file being viewed? ie -> i have a 'left.php' which is included in all pages on a site. But i want this content to change based on which file is viewing it ->index.php, about.php, contact.php etc. I want to use a set of if statements to determine the name of the file being viewed, and based on that, echo out content that is page specific... I hope this makes sense.. TIA

Is there a way to get JS to return the dimensions that a user's pc screen is set to? eg -> width = 800 height = 600 or width = 1024 height = 768 etc.etc there are certain sections of my site that simply using % won't help... i need to calculate exact sizes tia

[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]ok, done that. now how do i feed it to my database. and where do i get the content for it? and are rss involved with this somehow?[/quote] What exactly do you mean? RSS is not involved. The script i provided, will connect to the db and retrieve all the info out of it, and then put everything into a table. If you want to add news, you can use something like phpMyAdmin, or alternatively, write your own script that inserts data into the db. hth.

I modified the supplied code, and I could not get it to list the contents in a directory of one of my websites. So, my guess would be that it's not possible. However, I may be wrong.

Firstly, you would want to do some checking on the files uploaded to make sure that they are not .exe etc. You don't want to be responsible for emailing viruses...
