Thanks for the info, same here. im on a 1and1 'Unlimited' account. :|

where are these errors from?cant really do much without seeing the code.. is this what the w3 validator returns

thanks!

i found "hack forum" but it seems a bit like all the members are teenagers into defacing sites etc... i'll keep searching

where is the best place to go to stay abreast of alll the latest security news / patches / updates etc from a web dev / administrator perspective? thanks!

http://edwardmc.com/example/ got it running ok thanks... there seems to be a bit of a time delay... if you have a look you will see that when you change styles the first few times the page goes "styleless" for a split second... it then goes fine... if u refresh it does the same again. the same happems on my local machine so i've ruled out my crumby hosting... is there a way to force the browser to load all the sheets at once so it isn't left loading?

wow thanks! ill let u know how it goes!

ok thanks. ill be back when i get stuck!!

is it possible to do the whole thing in php? i'm aware of sessions but how would i perform DOM manipulation? i was thinking that i would sacrifice the 5% (w3schools.com) of the market that don't have javascript enabled as it's not an integral part of my site... so if a user has javascript disabled then they simply miss out on the colour swapper. also this seems to be a very simple script so i can't see many cross browser issues, though i'm no expert! it would be nice to do it all php if possible but i don't know if i'm quite up to it!!

i am planning a style sheet swapper for my website. i want it to swap the stylesheet using javascript and the DOM. can i use javascript cookies to retain this somehow so the new stylesheet is kept throughout the users visit and maybe on return visits? or will ineed to use php? thanks!

think i got my wires crossed!! i was looking at a different site! sorry i would agree that the hover needs changing. you don't really notice it.

looks really nice. you might want to make the text on your menu a bit brighter so it doesn't blend in as much...

nice work!! can't fault it really.

i don't think i could get through my day without digg.com! also the blogs on wired.com are good aswell as howstuffworks.com though i read the whole IT section in two days and they dont seem to update regularly!

yeah... that's sort of the stage i'mat now.... just spreading the word!! ive done a few small projects for people and i wanted to look to l=the likes of elance for work but as you say it's hard to compete... i suppouse if i can get good enough then the work will follow.

yeah i suppouse so... so it's all about getting on top of your game? would you still agree that alot of potential work is lost through elance etc and that this can only increase? i am jut worried that m investing all this time etc and by the time i know it all i will have "missed the boat"...

hi to all. i was wondering what you think about the amount of work that is gettin outsourced to cheaper places like india etc through the likes of elance.com. does this mean that the skills im now learning will become worth less and less as people from the UK/US start to outsource all their development work? also what related skills can i learn to stay ahead of the game? as in stuff that cant be outsourced? i was thinking along the lines of database administration / networking stuff that people in the UK will need done on site. im worried that as more and more clients cotton on that the work will steadily decrease and de-value. what are your thoughts on this?

does any body know of any tried and tested, reliable free hosts that i can use for my php scripts? i am thinking of paying for the site hosting and then having my scripts elsewhere so i can go for the basic hosting package. thanks.

too see how your pages look on a broad range of platforms chck out http://www.browsershots.org.

it's cPanel - htprotect to be exact... ill look into it! in the cpanel window it says httpd:httpd next to the files and folders in question whereas next to all my files it just has my username...

it is an account on a shared server with strangers. the only access i have to the files is through the file browser software. you'll have to excuse me im a beginner. when you 'cd' in do you mean with the terminal window?

haha!! ok thanks.

ok thanks! i keep finding that you read up on one thing, then that leads to another and another... does it ever end??
