Welcome! Hope we can help you out!

In your text on the left I would drop your web address down so it fits on one line. Try making it bold and centering it also, see what that looks like...

and most of them live in Texas... haha

take a look at some css tutorials and free templates out there, it might give you some sort of direction in where you want to go. Best way to learn is by example, then apply it to your own.

[quote author=jcombs_31 link=topic=123397.msg511267#msg511267 date=1169555796] Anything has to be a step up from what we have now. [/quote] haha I second that!

which background colors and images aren't working for you? Also...the point of a CSS layout is not to have any tables (or atleast none for the actual layout) It looks like you just copied the different tables in new divs...which really doesn't do too much. Your layout should be all divs...nice and clean :)

The way that I do it is to slice my design up in photoshop, export it (with tables), then open it up in dreamweaver. Then I make a temp.html file where I work on the new CSS design. This way I can bounce back and forth between the table design and the CSS design and make sure everything is like how it is supposed to look. You still need to hand code all of the divs and information in the pages. There is really nothing that I know of that converts your table design to a css one...but I don't think you would want it anyways... I know I didn't give you too much information, but if you need to know anything more specific, please let me know. I usually "convert" 2-3 psd files a week for different clients. -Chris

you can also use some JS if you want... [code=php:0]echo "[ <a href=\"#\" title=\"Back\" onclick=\"javascript:history.back()\">Back</a> ]<br /><br />";[/code]

So how would I set that up if I want 3 variables in the same "layer" of the array

It is helpful to know if he is just starting out in php, it's one less thing to be worried about if he is worried about people stealing his code...if he sold it or not.

What other things could I use?

The good thing about php is that you CAN NOT see the source code in the browser. SO... [code]<?php $s = "Source"; $c = "Code"; echo $s." ".$c; ?>[/code] Will just be "Source Code" when you look at the "View Source" in browsers. Even if you download the script through a download program it will just show in the file what the browser would see. So they will never see the actual php code like above. Hope this helps, -Chris

Hey Everyone, So I'm making a session shopping cart for one of my clients and I got it pretty much done but I ran into a few problems. If you go to http://kawellphotography.com/prints_main_categories.htm select a portfolio, then a picture and click "add to cart" you will see that this page gets added to the cart. Now, go back to that first page and add 2 (or more) different photos. So when you go back to the cart you should have 3 or more line items (all data is now correct). Now without changing anything in the shopping cart form click "Update Cart". You will now notice that I outputted a few lines to track the data. You can now see the values from the form, values of the session data before the update, and the values after the update. Notice that items 2 and 3 do NOT have the img_size variable in the session before the update, but then after the update the values are put in. BUT when you get down to the form area (where I printed out more information) you can see that just the second item doesn't have the img_size variable. Next, change the last item size to the opposite choice in the drop down and select "Update Cart" again. Doing this changes BOTH the 1st and the 3rd item, the 2nd item still doesn't have a size value. Lastly...go back to the portfolio choices and add another image to the cart (a totally new item). When you add it you will get an error of: Fatal error: [] operator not supported for strings in /var/www/html/cart.php on line 35. Line 35 is: $_SESSION["img_size"][] = 1; SO...I know it's probably simple (or maybe not) but I haven't worked with sessions much and I have no idea where to go from here. So I would greatly appriciate if I could get this solved as soon as possible. Please do not ask why I can't do this another way (like with a database) the customer wanted this done very cleanly without a database of any kind. I have included the full cart.php below. Thank you for your time, -Chris [code=php:0]<?php session_start(); include "header.txt"; switch($action){ case 'add': if (!isset($_SESSION["items"])) { $_SESSION["items"] = array();  $_SESSION["qty"] = array();

a "." is for a class, you can use this as much as you want in one page a "#" is for an id, you can only use this once on each page <div id="wrapper"> <div class="green">This is green text</div> <div class="green">This is green text</div> <div class="green">This is green text</div> </div> I didn't include the css...but I think you'll get the idea. -Chris

Hey everyone, I want to do a few things, but I'm a little unsure about how to actually do it. I want to have a dynamic array of items holding multiple values: item_code, size, quantity then to store this into a session. Later I need to read each item from the session, maybe update it and/or delete an item out of the session. SO, where do I start and how would I do each of those functions. Thanks in advance, -Chris

Thanks for the input guys. I've got most of my portfolio done if you want to see pages with some more content. Thanks again, -Chris

Try this out. You will need to add a few more things, but I think you'll get the idea...

Thanks for the comments guys. I changed the header images so now the bottom line fades back in. I also changed the headline color and the other rollovers to a blue. Still no content yet but I'm working on it. Thanks, -Chris

Looks good, I would add some sort of hover to your blue links in the text. the font is fine i think. good job! -Chris

I'm in the midst of making a new site for my company. I did everything in CSS so far so that there is bearly any code for what you see. I am doing this for better SEO and readability. So far there is no content and there is only the index page uploaded to the site so all of the other links will give you an error. I will keep you posted on new additions. The link is http://syracusecs.com/v2 Everything validates and I tested it in IE7, FF, Opera and I don't see any issues, please check it and let me know. Thanks, -Chris

I didn't spend too much time on your site, but the first thing that I saw is that the overall size of your logo is too big and the white background of the image is going down into your gradient so it looks like there is a big chunk missing. If you make it a transparent gif, or crop it a little it should do the trick. -Chris

You can get the CS3 beta [url=http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/photoshopcs3/]here[/url] the final version is coming out in the spring.

Hey Everyone, I'm sure a few of you are having a problem with Dreamweaver 8 after installing Internet Explorer 7 with saving your site FTP information. If you go here: [url=http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?event=view&id=KC.3491671c&extid=3491671c&dialogID=28498622&iterationID=2&sessionID=4830ee0d8ad03c7a3663&stateID=1+0+28530426&mode=simple]Adobe[/url] and download the Dreamweaver 8.0.2 Updater it will fix the problem...along with few other ones. I hope this helps some people...cause it was pissing me off for a few weeks. -Chris

Thanks, yeah I added enough left padding to the body tag and it took care of it. Thanks again, -Chris

Ok, I fixed those problems and I got the side boxes back on the right in FF. NOW, I can't get the "left" div to extend all the way down to the footer. (So the text doesn't go under the left div. Any ideas about how to do it, I've tried a lot but nothing has worked so far. Thanks, -Chris
