Almost finished a computer science degree so you'd think I'd know a thing or two about web development... Unfortunately I think the trips to the pub may have become a bit too frequent in recent months.

Hi all, I'm Thomas and I'm a 21 year old student currently living in Edinburgh and I'm currently doing some web design jobs on the side to help fund my progress through uni. I can code some mean HTML and CSS and I also have limited PHP skills to back it up. I've been browsing the forums here for a few weeks and definitely picked up a good number of tips, so I thought it was about time I signed up to hopefully share some of my own tips and tricks with you guys.

You most likely have this sorted already but I may as well post this for anyone else having IE troubles. If you're using CSS for the layout, a quick way to to make IE6 do something different is to use an underscore character ( _ ). So in this case there is a snippet of code for the menu: #menu {position:absolute; top: 232px; left: 0px; width: 800px; height: 48px; left: 50%; margin-left: -400px; background-image: url('Images/menubg.jpg'); background-repeat: repeat-y; } So if it was aligning incorrectly you could tell IE6 to draw the menu 235px from the top instead of 232px by adding a '_top:' attribute: #menu {position:absolute; top: 232px; _top: 235px; left: 0px; width: 800px; height: 48px; left: 50%; margin-left: -400px; background-image: url('Images/menubg.jpg'); background-repeat: repeat-y; }

Hi Dren, I actually did this a few weeks ago and the above posters have given some good advice. I used the JW Flash Player (http://www.longtailvideo.com/) as it's a little more compatible than the WMV version, and for preparing the video files I used a piece of software called Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr/). You can see the player in action on the website below: http://www.wonder-land.co.uk/ - Just click the Videos link at the top of the page Let me know if you need a hand setting any of it up and I'll gladly help you out.
