I am having a very strange display problem with rateit. I am fairly new to scripting and page layouts and i have tried everyting i can think of to fix the problem. I hope someone here can help me. rate it is a small table that applies ratings to a page or area of a page. the sample files and test ratings that are supplied with the script display fine. the problem is when I insert the code into my page the star icons that represent the rateings display vertically instead of horazontally in my page. any idea what may cause this? I have searched for a magic setting somwhere in my code that is causing it and i can't find it. I am using a css layout and there are a few css stylesheets attached to this page but i can't figure out if they are causing the problem. Please let me know if you need some code to help me. I am kind figuring that this is just some bonehead setting on my part in the layout, but I don't know where to start looking. Any suggestiong would be really great. Thanks in advance.

Man I can't even believe I couldent figure that one out. Sometimes you just need somone elses eyes!! The two cookies thing is just the way it was written in the borrowed script, I wanted to get it working as written before I modify it becase as you can tell I have enough sintax problems figuing out others code, without trying to write my own. Thanks again!!

I cant figure out why this code is not working. I created a test script wich esentually is the same as in my full site and it still isnt recalling the cookies. it sets them and the info inside is correct, but on a revisit to the page it does not recall the cookie. here is the script. <?php $domain = ""; $duration = time()+(60*60*24*30); $loginUsername = "user"; $password = "password"; if (!isset($_COOKIE['visited'])) {     // if a cookie does not exist     // set it     setcookie("lr_user", $loginUsername, $duration, $domain);     setcookie("lr_pass", $password, $duration, $domain) or die("Could not set cookie");     echo "This is your first visit here today."; } else {     // if a cookie already exists     echo "Nice to see you again, old friend!"; } ?> any help would be great.

I am relatively new to PHP so any help would be greatly appreciated. there seems to be a problem with my variable registration, but the first error  is an if else statement and I cant figure out why it fails because it shouldent matter if its empty. Its saposed to check to see if its empty and if so ...else. Please help if you can. Thanks. here are the error messages.
