Posts I've Made

  1. In Topic: Having problems making resizable hover in CSS

    Today, 07:38 PM

    Google cssplay menus because it's much better to choose on which works and then edit it.

  2. In Topic: HELP menu going behind slider

    Today, 07:10 AM

    OK, granted. I have found that style="position: relative; z-index: -1" is necessary for a javascript/jQuery slideshow when the drop down gets hidden behind it and I've just always used the same for a Flash video which doesn't seem to do any harm.

    I can't believe it. nfc212 has left out the style="position: relative; z-index: -1" which I had in my object tag in post 5, and that's fundamentally important! Copy/paste from post #5, which works for me.

  4. In Topic: Problem with mail form...

    Yesterday, 02:34 PM

    This is a useful link for sending an email via WampServer (WAMP) or XAMPP:-
    http://roshanbh.com....nvironment.html

    Another point to watch is this: Your mail function has "From: ".$name." <".$email." This means that the $email is the user's email address which will vary with every email sent from your web page via your domain and none of the email addresses will have your domain name. This is often considered spam by your hosting service (or your ISP, I can't remember which) and they will eventually block your email account (they blocked mine after about twenty emails from addresses that weren't from my domain and I had to phone to get unblocked).

    It's safer to have the To and From email addresses in the mail function as your own email address via the same domain as your web page, so you will be sending to yourself from yourself, then put the $email and $name and $message all inside "...." in the message part of the email.
    elseif (!mail($EMAIL_TO, "Contact Form Submission", "$name $email $message", "From: $EMAIL_TO"))

    I tested again and the drop down menu works in IE9 with ActiveX enabled and Firefox with javascript enabled,

    I do have Java installed

    Note that java is completely different from javascript.

    Did you copy/paste my code for the object and embed tags properly? I only made three edits
    style="position: relative; z-index: -1">
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>
    wmode="transparent"
    and the drop down worked immediately.
