Hey guys, quick note about what I am trying to do. I am trying to create a form geared at streamlining an email. Basically I need to fill out a few fields and when I submit the form, the email goes to the email that I inserted into the "email to" block, and is "from" my email. I am pretty good with html/css and can get a standard form off the ground. The problem I am running into is most forms are meant to be "contact" forms, so the email from is whats different whereas I need to input the email "to" and for that to be dynamic. Ive been messing around and separating email from and to is confusing within the php. I have basically 5 "standard" emails, so Im also trying to add functionality whereas the "comment" or email body is based off 1 of 5 predetermined emails, and the email itself would need to contain some of the info within the form as well, like Greetings <name>. Thanks for your help on <date> Unfortunately blah blah blah... Do you guys have any advice on this or recommendations?

you can solve that riddle your self because no one here will understand what you mean with that. If you have a problem isolate it, and describe it in a manner so that others know what you are talking about. ok thanks

how do you figure its a javascript problem?Its not, its a css issue. The issue now is the random positioning thats happening to the thumbnails. I got the thumbnails working by adding overflow:visible to the filmstrip div, this worked to get the 4 images to show up, but now I have other things going on.

The issue is that only 1 thumbnail is showing up. I was able to get the thumbnail to the side, for some reason anything after it doesnt show up. If you cycle through the slideshow, you can see the other images there, and if you go to firebug, you can go to and high-lite the other image, but its not there. Do you have any idea why it isnt showing up?

sorry lol i always forget the link:http://www.desapioproperties.com.php5-18.dfw1-2.websitetestlink.com/company/

here is the link to a site im currently working on:Company DeSapio Properties On the gallery that is there, I am trying to pull the thumbnails up and position them to the left. I thought it would be easy, but the styles are all in line and im having a hard time figuring out how to "catch hold" of these elements. maybe another set of eyes would help. Anyone have any suggestions? thanks! Glen

hey css, check out this link here: http://www.glenhealy.com/clients/AArdvark_Future/ I was able to get it working, not 100% but if you shrink the browser you can see it change. this is no JS,just css.

well, Im using this based on a method of getting the site to resize when the browser is adjusted. I am having a hard time getting it to work so I needed some help, Ive never messed with javascript making this work, but Im not interested either, I need this method to work specifically based on what I am doing. Any idea on how to do this?

Hey guys, I am doing some stuff lately that I havent ever touched. Im doing a responsive layout and I am having a ahrd time understanding all of this @ media query stuff. Hopefully someone can help me out. Basically I have a basic site laid out here: http://www.glenhealy.com/clients/AArdvark_Future/ I have 1 css file as the main file. I then used this code here: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen and (max-device-width: 600px)" href="css/600.css" /> to link a new stylesheet for browsers under 600px wide. Inside that CSS file I included this code here: @media screen and (max-width: 600px) { #container, #header, #info, #folio, #links, #welcome, { float: none; width: auto; } } nothing happens with this. I view the site in firebug and it has 600.css as being empty. I am obviously doing something wrong, but hey, its my first time messing with this. I do need some help. My ultimate goal is to just have the site change as you open or close the window making it bigger or smaller. thanks in advance. Also let me know if more info is necessary.

how would I go about doing that?

OK, I was able to get the page to load as it should. 1 issue I am having is that Firefox is extremely choppy with the animation. I wonder if it is something I am doing/ not doing on my end, perhaps there is a better way to do what Im doing where it would be smoother? Anyone have any tips?

Hey guys, I am building a site using the parallax effect to have some neat depth added to the background of the site. I was able to get it to look and act the way I want it to. You can see this here: http://www.glenhealy.com/clients/AArdvark_Future/ what Is happening is now when I want to go and add the website on top of this effect, It goes under the texture. This is because I have 3 images combining to make that one background image and I have them moving at different rates. Here is the code for 1 of the images: $.scrollingParallax('images/back_three.png', { bgWidth : '100%', staticSpeed : .1, appendInFront : true }); I have 1 background image, then 2 smaller images and in order to get them to show up correctly, I had to add the appendInFront, which I guess makes it so its in front of everything. Has anyone worked with this before and perhaps have a better way of dsoing this? Also, is there a suggestion for everything to load on the page, the way it loads now for about 5 seconds, it look out of whack and then falls into place. Im a rookie at Javascript, perhaps im doing something a little bulky? Thanks for the help guys Glen

Denno, thanks for checking in on me man. I actually worked through it. It was a pain in the neck.

OK< I changed ir so that it works in everything but Firefox. Ive messed with it, I think it needs another set of eyes. Ive tried using !important. that didnt work,etc. anyone got any ideas? I need help!

I am working on a site where things kind of kept getting added as we went alonng. Basically now I am trying to get an animated .swf to align over top of an image and Im trying to get it to look right in as many browsers as possible. Here is a link to the site: http://www.glenhealy.com/clients/drugs/ It looks perfect in firefox 3.6 on OSX, but its off for the rest of them. Is there a way I can ensure it getting aligned across browsers?

I am using a custom option panel for a theme I am building and Im having a very specific issue. When I try and use the option panel to get something to show up in the theme, I am using this code: <?php echo $mytheme->option['setting1'] ?> It WILL NOT show up in the sidebar, it shows up flawlessly when I put it anywhere else. Does anyone know of the reason for this/ a workaround? Its a little weird, but its obvious Im doing something wrong in regards to the sidebar I just have no clue what.

Hey guys, I am about to start a wordpress project for a client and in planning, they want a widget that displays photos. Similar to something like a flickr widget where its just 8 images or so in the widget displayed in line. nothing to major. The thing I am trying to do though is get the images from the posts. The client is a fire company and they are going to post pictures of their calls and all of that. Id like the widget to just pull images out of every post and the widget would hold like the the lates 8 or whatever number I decide. Basically to further explain, the fireman creates a new post, writes up what happened, and inserts a few images into the post. Once they publish the post, Id like the widget to pull images and put them into the widget and then when clicked open a lightbox. Anyone know how to do this or has anyone done this in the past? Thanks guys!

I actually just figured it out. Thanks again Russel! all problems solved!

OK I figured out using the z-index does the trick. an issue I am having is with a plug in I am using, its a side tab that scrolls in, It is pushing my top logo down the page about 400px and if I click "home" it goes up to its normal state. Anyone have any idea what is doing this? I uplo9aded my latest evrsion so anyone can see it. www.glenhealy.com. I have the top-margin set at 40px which is where it should be when the page loads but for some reason I think the slider on the left is making it drop down. any ideas?

OK, it works as planned Basicaly Im trying to do something dvanced now(I think) I am trying to implement an fixed menu at the top so when the page scrolls, the menu scrolls too. thus far I made it fixed, and it works as intended except I need to make it so objects scroll under the menu, so that when users use the side scroll, content doesn't go over the menu. How would I do this if its even possible?

Thank YOU Russel, Im going to try it out as soon as I get a moment. I appreciate it man. Glen

hey guys, I am trying to apply a smooth scroll to my site. Its a 1 page site and I have anchor tags set up at various points. here is the jquery I am using which isnt working: $(document).ready(function () { $("#menu_nav").localScroll(); }); it only scrolls down like an inch no matter what button I press. my site is www.glenhealy.com you can see for yourself, if you select a menu item, it only scrolls a few inches. If I take away the jquery, it jumps right to each anchor tag like its supposed to so i know its gotta be something wrong with the way im doing the jquery. anyone have any ideas?

Hey guys I am in the HTML stages of develping a new wordpress theme and I am, for the first time, experimenting with timthumb php image resizing script. I followed the instructions here: http://www.darrenhoyt.com/2008/04/02/timthumb-php-script-released/ basically I cant get the image to show up. I usually work on my local server, but I wanted to see this in action so I put the work in progress here: www.glenhealy.com/colour/index.php. if someone who had worked with this in the past knows what I am doing wrong I would appriciate it. Im not really a PHP guy so I wouldnt know if there was something wrong or not.

A buddy of mine has been doing this site, he is having issues in different browsers. here is the link: http://nowihaveoptions.com/ basically, background images dont appear to be showing in Firefox or chrome, anyone have a clue what the issue could be? I am certain its something easy but I am over looking it.

Im curious how to make the site not require each page to be fully identified. as an example, when I post a link to my contact page, it is /contact.php or something to that effect. If I were to navigate directly to that pag using the browser i would have to type out mysitename.com/contact.php how can I make it so that a user can just type mysitename.com/contact without the .php and still get to the site. is it possible? thanks in advance
