Well since you are using php i would reccomend using sessions, a very simple guide to this: At the start of your php file/s that will have the variable passed, put the following statement at the very top, directly after the <?php tag on a new line. session_start(); Now you can set variables to be stored in the session. Setting a session variable is done liek this: $_SESSION['name'] = $var name is anything you want it to be, name it somthing that will help you remember what the variable is used for. $var is the variable you want to pass. To call the variable simply echo the session var: echo $_SESSION['name']; $_SESSION['name'] will hold the variable through as many pages as you want providing the page has session_start(); at the very beggining. To destroy the var and the session put this at the bottom of your final page: session_destroy();

You could use sessions, cookies or hidden form fields, are you using PHP?

Yes, all the form elements are generated with html, you can make them look anyway you want without them working. you then need to use the php to make them functon and yes make them work.

Hi, there are a few here: Membership scripts. Just be sure to read about securing your php applications (assuming your going to be using php and mysql). Securing php apps

What advantage will you achive with this system over js/flash text replacement like Sifr?

I tend to try and stay away from multilevel unless absolutly necessary, a main services page with links leading from it would be fine imo.

Nice design. In all honesty the only thing i would do is add a border under each of the nav buttons, similar to the line under the logo, you could then also colour them to bring in the colouring you wanted.

change } #wrapper { height: auto; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0; width: auto; } to } #wrapper { height: auto; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0; width: 98%; } and change every other "width: auto;" to "width:100%;". It is untested but might work. Your style sheet could also do with some love, its contents is all over the place.

You can scketch then scan and colour in illustrator/photoshop with the pen tool etc. You can use a graphics tablet/pen mouse to sketch digitally onto the computer. Alternativly you can illustrate with the pentool directly.

Here is an example based on what I said above. Tag cloud styling

A tag cloud would generally be done with HTML text rather than images.

Yes thats correct, im glad it worked. Basically it is a wild card removing all defult padding and margin, each brouser will add its own ammount of padd/margin to some elements, this causes alot of cross brouser problems. The general principle behind using a reset is to use a list of elements rather than using the wildcard, i use the following: html, body, div, h1, h2, h3, ul, li,p, blockquote, pre, form, fieldset, table, th, td { margin: 0; padding: 0; } you can read about them on nettuts here or do a google search for css reset.

I think ZigPress is on the right track, as a test add this (below) to the top of your css file. * {margin:0; padding:0; } If that works then you should read about "CSS Reset's" and the correct way to do it.

hehe you will get there, just takes time to get your head round it.

Well i use Dreamweaver and PHPDesigner 2008 pro depending on what im doing, the main reason i use dreamweaver is becasue i am lazy and like to use the built in ftp for single file uploads. Out of the ones i linked i would say notepad++ or phpdesigner but it is a very opinionated debate hehe you will possibly have a different opinion.
