Ok thanks I will look into that and make changes. I didn't do the old site, that is what I took over from. Thanks again.

Hi All, Over the summer I took over web development of a Table Tennis league website, I had no knowledge of PHP of HTML but I like programming in C# and VB so thought I would give it a go. At the start I went with full ajax site, but after being convinced that this is not the way to go I moved towards a header and sidebar with a center iFrame. What you don't get to see which was the hardest part to code, is the divisional secretary login and virtual scorecard entering. The new site is www.mtttl.co.uk and the old site I took over is www.mtttl.co.uk/old. I am still learning, so any recomendations would be welcome. Thanks

Hi All, I have taken over the web design for our local table tennis league and have been designing the new website for the past couple of months. I am not a web programmer, so it has been a big learning curve understanding html and php. http://www.mtttl.co.uk/test/index.php Old site is http://www.mtttl.co.uk I am planning to go live on Monday, all that needs doing is the logo and the home page needs some more information. Thanks

You are a star, thank you for your help.

Tried that but still no luck. $Leg1 = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['AX1']);

Field type is "TinyText". evan if I do $Leg1 = "11-1" if converts it. Does not work $Leg1 = $_POST['AX1']; mysql_query("INSERT INTO scores (Leg1) VALUES (".$Leg1.")");

Hi Eveyone, Sorry I have looked now for the last hour or so, but am stuck on this very simple priblem. I am pulling data via the $_POST command and inserting into a mysql table. The output of the post command is "11-1". I wan to insert it into the table as "11-1" but it keeps converting it to "9". I have tried "settype", "intval", "intstr" but nothing. Sorry very basic. Thanks

Hi Everyone, Don't think this can be done by I thought I would ask, I have a page that uses object tags to load external html data (Just like iframes). Have a Modal Message within my external content and when it opens it will center to the external data window. Is there anyway I can get the modal window which is being called from the external data window to center on the parent window. Thanks

I have done abit of both Object tags for the "League & Result" content, and the rest uses a generic page with php includes., I am just playing around trying to understand what I feel I like best. As I have never done any kind of web programming, I am learning something new and then changing my page code I think once I have this working I will settle with it until I have all the content finished then look at the page design again. You have to remember before this I have never touched any kind of web programming so this is all new. Thanks for your comments. Rich

I have changed to <object> tags instead of AJAX. Still need to re do some of my old pages but at least the back button works and my site will be indexed by search engines. www.richardrfarthing.org/test/live.php A few problems with CSS in IE, but I will go through the coding of everypage after I have decided on what route I am going to take. Thanks

Ok I think I am starting to understand this, I have created a front page that uses php include to include a seperate header, sidebar and footer. By doing this I then only need to modify the content page everytime. Let me know if this is the bext way to do it. Thanks

Ok new link: http://www.richardrfarthing.org/testing/live.html I am now looking at some of the design problems (Use of Ajax). Is there any way I can still use dynamic content without using Javascript or stopping the indexing of my pages within search engines? The only reason I want to use dynamic content is because only part of my page content changes, and if I change the design of the header or footer I do not want to then change 20 odd pages. I have looked at iframes but it leaves a scrollbar down the page, and I have also looked at <object type="text/html" which again is a bit messy. Any ideas. Thanks

Thanks for replying, I have taken your comments on board and will look to changing and using javascript to enchance features that are not critical to viewing. Regarding the faint white lines next to the header pictures, Yes I see them but not quite sure why they appear. In Photoshop they look fine before I save the picture, then I save the picture as jpg, quality 12, baseline (Standard), and the it seems to change the border of the image. Any ideas? Thanks

Thanks for the reply, I haven't done the javascript checking yet as I need to add it. All your other comments are very useful, as you can tell I am very new to html coding, I will go through your post and try to change what you have stated. Thanks again.

Yes I understand the problems related to ajax, which is one of the reasons I used a crumbbar. If it comes to it I can change it back to pure html. Thanks

Hi Everyone, Been working on this a couple of hours a week for the past month, at a stage now where I have some content which makes the design a bit better. Still quite a lot to do with the league table and backend php coding to work out players ratings and averages. Site uses javascript for ajax, I know I have to put a warning page if javascript is not found. php is not supported by ntlworld, so some featues like the venue maps don't work corectly. (In need of a free hosting sites for testing). url: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/richard.farthing/Testing/Live.html Thanks

Hi Everyone, Simple CSS Syntax, having problems with setting a bottom border when mouse hovers over an object, works fine in FF, sort of works in IE6, but not in IE7, for this example I have added a pink full border round the the object. #Tab_Buttons:hover {text-shadow:#000000; color:#00F; border:2px solid #F3C;) IE 7 displays only the left and right border, which explains why my bottom border is not showing. IE 6 displays only the left, right and bottom border, which would work for me as I only want the bottom. FF display the full border I know IE had problems with hover, but all other hover CSS functions seem to be working fine apart from border related CSS functions. Any ideas? Thanks

Updated layout, added JavaScript checking and created CSS for IE7, IE6 and below and All other browsers. Thanks

I will add screenshots on enabling Javascript if not enabled. (Add to my Todo list) I have also split the css into two parts FireFox and IE7 (Will look at IE6 later), and now it looks the same across both browsers. I hate Firefox everything just looks grainy. Thanks again.

Thanks for the coments, redbullmarky I will check for Javascript and throw up as basic page telling the user to enable it. I need to spell check the site - thanks Andy. Just checked site with FireFox and it needs a lot of work. Thanks

Hi Everyone, Nearly finished the frontend of my Table Tennis site, using php and javascript. I did think about the problems posted before regarding the use of javascript, but I have got carried away and will deal with the problem is users moan. http://richardfarthing.org (If it does not come up, just re-enter into url again) Old site I want to replace is www.mtttl.co.uk, but I have to present it to the executive committee and see if they want to change. Need to look at the layout in different browsers, have designed it using IE7. This is my first go at building a website, so a complete noob. Any coments regarding layout would be welcome. Thanks Rich

Site now moved to new host that allows PHP and MySQL. Host abit slow but works. http://richie19rich77.prohosts.org/Main.html

Try now I had the page down while updating.

Thanks mate your a star, As you see I know nothing about html or AJAX lol Thanks

New page: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/richard.farthing/Main.html Will post back in about a week once I sort out some AJAX problems. Thanks
