  1. For some reasone your image containers have a typo: scr= instead of src= e.g: <img width="115" height="80" style="display: block; width: 115px; height: 80px; border: 1px solid;" scr="http://universitycompare.com/wp-content/themes/blue-and-grey/images/universities/10004180.png">
  2. Sorry missed the last part where you mention its just in spare time. It is much more tricky to value your time in that situation as it is not driven by any business need. I guess it then comes down to what you are doing it for, the money, the experience, a bit of both, only you can determine what you think is fair and in your postion can take it or leave it based on what your objective is. To me someone not willing to spend more than £150 on their website doesn't really value their own business very much.
  3. haha lots of varying opinions, as you would expect I like this personally yes.
  4. Would prefer the first one, if there wasnt that gap between the header and page. Not a fan of left navigation unless it is really necessary, page is much cleaner and better spaced without it.
  5. Crikey if someone wanting a website thinks £150 for a website design and build is too much then they are wasting your time. By the time you also factor in the intial meetings, putting quotes together, any other ovberheads, you are going to be making a loss.
  6. You are going to need a pretty serious setup, providing security and backup capability, which is also scalable by the sounds of it. For serious software projects I would go with .Net. In your case I would be thinking dedicated server, probably a cloud server (for scalabaility and backup capability), running windows, ASP.Net MVC for the web site, HTTPS where required and SQL Server for the DB. Each of these elements are a skillset in their own right, there are many books but it has been a long time since I have had need for them (over 10 years) so I cannot really advise on which books to choose.
  7. Whatever you do, I will just come along and print screen, job done. Pointless. Embedding a watermark, now thats a proper solution.
  8. Take a look at a plugin I wrote. It might suit your needs. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/posts-for-page/
  9. No good for inline scripts which issue 'document.write' and rely on DOM being ready. Also I have experienced a situation whereby eventhough the JS was last the browser was downloading and processing a CSS file in parallel, causing my JS which relied on some of the CSS to fail. Before then it had never crossed my mind that this could happen. JS at the bottom is not 100% fullproof, if you are using jQuery anyway it is safer to go with ready(). I learnt that lesson the hard way, stupid amount of time it took for me to understand what was going on.
  10. If you are using jQuery you can use $(document).ready(function() { // put your js code in here, it is called when the page is ready and dom elements loaded }); http://www.learningjquery.com/2006/09/introducing-document-ready
  11. Looks like the path to the .JS files are not being found and then some redirect is loading the home page in them in their place.
  12. So those scripts are fine now, but 'booking-calendar-function-one.js' is a simple script to generate a list of months for the drop down. This is working if you scroll to the bottom of the page it is doing just that. You actually need to stick this in between the <select></select> tags for each dropdown. e.g. for the first one: <select name="checkin_year_month" class=".padding" id="b_checkin_month" onchange="checkDateOrder('frm', 'b_checkin_day', 'b_checkin_month', 'b_checkout_day', 'b_checkout_month') ; tickCheckBox('b_availcheck');"> <script src="javascripts/booking-calendar-function-one.js" type="text/javascript" language="Javascript"></script> </select>
  13. its the padding on the UL. As Andy suggested a CSS reset would fix most of the issues you encounter including this one. Otherwise you need to do something like #slider ul { padding-left: 15px; position: relative; }
  14. in these days of reality tv and insta-celebrity the Olympics have shown what real role models are all about, lets hope even just a little of that rubs off on our future generations, init.
