Hello all! I have a couple of questions about domain masking, for the first time in my life wikipedia has failed to offer a clear explanation! Firstly, does it retain the file path for the new server. For example, if I typed in "mydomain.com/myFolder/myFile.html", and I had it set up so that it masked to another domain "myotherdomain.com" - then would the user then see the url "myotherdomain.com/myFolder/myFile.html" in their browser (although the original url would still be in their url bar?). Or does the user need to start off at "mydomain.com"? so if they started off at "mydomain.com/myFolder/myFile.html" - then would it try to find to find that file on the original domain? Secondly - is masking simply a html frame? in which case does the javascript DOM still work? So would "document.getElementById('etc').etc... work Cheers in advance guys!!!!

Could anyone have a look at my website and have a go at finding the fault in the javascript. Whenever I load it in firefox, I check the javascript error messages, and the first occurence of "document.", for example "document.getElementById("something").style.width", it says it is null. So then I go to the source code and comment it out, at which point the next occurence of that appears as an error. Help!! Im scared and i dont know what to do!!! Can anyone help!! Cheers --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ignore!!! I've fixed it! I would just like to say, I hate Internet explorer with so much passion that I think Im going to marry it, just so that cheat on it with firefox lol ;-D

Hi I have never really done this before (I mean ive made websites just for the fun of it, but they have never gone anywhere, but now I want to have other peoples oppinons) - so with this in mind please try to sugar coat your oppinons as to not hurt my feelings lol. So heres the story: I am currently studying ICT at A level, and the marking of the exam papers is very strict - it requires keywords otherwise you wont get the mark. So a few weeks a go I was thinking - how could I revise differently? I then thought of making a PHP system which would ask me questions and give me a percentage back based on my answers. To use it: click the 'next question' button to go to the next question click the 'Mark answer?' button to have the answer marked click the 'settings' link just below the title to change the current set of questions (i.e. paper), or to reset the current question you're on and start from scratch So, here goes. Here is the link Please note - If you think the source code is a mess, then trust me, you do not want to see the actual PHP code in the background lol Cheers

Cheers!!!! big help :-D

Sure I have uploaded a screenshot of the webpage in Internet explorer: As you can see, the modal window displays normally, the only problem is the CSS transparancy. The grey background should be transparent grey. It works in firefox (as you might be able to tell by the above screenshot, I am a believer in firefox). Thanks again for your help

Hi everbody! Wonder if you can help me, a website that I am currently building uses modal windows for a few features. Basically it's divded into two parts; the first is the modal windows itself, and the second part is the grey transparent background. It works perfectly in firefox, but in IE, there is no transparency. Here is the code, any help? #overlay { background:#ababab; width:100%; height:100%; z-index:10; position:fixed; top:0px; left:0px; opacity: 0.5; display:none; } Cheers in advance for your help!!!

I'm now reasonably proffiecent with PHP (for server side scripting), and javascript (for client side scripting). So far the most complicated project that i have made is a shopping cart... But now i want to do something more complex, something that will really test what my knowledge of PHP... Just wandered if anyone had any ideas, Cheers

I have now downloaded GIMP and started trying to use it it does definately seem better for website design than photoshop anyway. Except now im just depressed i spent £80 on photoshop elements lol oh well

Cheers for all your advice Think ill have a look at some of the other graphics programs lol like GIMP n stuff Cheers!

I know this sounds like an extreemly stupid question (i prefer to think as myself as a website developer rather than a designer lol ) Just wandering what the best way was to make those rounded corners, like this one P.S i am using adobe photoshop Elements 5.0 Cheers!

I used to use the website a lot, i think i did about half of the "realistic" missions then got board lol I completely agree with Nathan i now have a much better idea of how to make my PHP/HTML/javascript code more secure

Cheers, the problem that i was having was that it was going to a new line each time there was an astrix, but i think that was because i was using div tags instead of span tags Cheers! :D

Im creating a html/css form, and i want to have those little red astrixes which show which fields are neccessary. Heres my code at the moment: <style type = 'text/css'> .redastrix { color:red; } </style> Then later on: <strong>Forename:</strong> <div class = 'redastrix'>*</div> ... Cheers in advance

Thanks for your help, ive positioned it all in one container. I wanted to make it without absolute positioning so that i could easily re-use the code..but seems that this is the only way to do it Cheers

Is there any other way i could do it without using z-index, or using absolute positioning to place is on the page? Cheers

Im tring to make a CSS and JS drop down menu. At them moment, my javascript works fine, but ive got a problem with CSS. When the menu is shown, it pushes the other content out of the way. Heres my CSS code so far: <style type = 'text/css'> .menucontainer { background:#70fe7a; margin:2px; width:200px; z-index:100; float:left; } .menuheader { background:#70fe7a; margin:2px; width:196px; } .menucontent { display:none; padding:2px; } .dmlink { width:192px; background:#9affa1; margin:2px; cursor:pointer; } a.dmlink { color:darkgrey; text-decoration:none; } </style> And heres the code i use to display the menu: <div class = 'menucontainer' onmouseover = 'dm("mc2","show")' onmouseout = 'dm("mc2","hide")'> <div class = 'menuheader'>Catagories again</div> <div id = 'mc2' class = 'menucontent'> <div class = 'dmlink'><a class = 'dmlink' href = '#'>Cars and automotive</a></div> <div class = 'dmlink'><a class = 'dmlink' href = '#'>Computers and the internet</a></div> <div class = 'dmlink'><a class = 'dmlink' href = '#'>Home and housekeeping</a></div> <div class = 'dmlink'><a class = 'dmlink' href = '#'>Other</a></div> <div class = 'dmlink'>Search:<br><input style = 'width:140px;'></div> </div> </div> I thought that using z-index would fix it, but is seems to have made no difference. Cheers for your help in advance! :D

Is there an FTP editor that you can remotely edit files. For example, go onto the server, click on a file, make changes to it, and save. Instead of downloading files to your computer, editing them, uploading them to the server... Is there a free software which does this?? Cheers

Cheers, i have now solved that problem, once again, does anyone know any tutorials that are specifically about using photoshop specifically for websites?

I currently know PHP quite well, however when i want too create dynamic pages, i have too use PHP and AJAX. Just wondered whether theres a laungauge out their that combines server-side and client side scripting. Also, which laungague do you think is best too learn after PHP. I heard JSP (JavaServer Pages) is quite good

I am more of a web developer than a designer, but I'm trying to learn how too design websites. I'm trying too make a background image. There must be 3 horizontal parts to it; the left, middle, and right. And i want too use the cropping tool to do this. However the measurements have got to be exact, and i cant find a measuring tool. Also, i cant find any tutorials for photoshop that are specifically too designing websites, they are all about modifying images. Any help would be appreciated :D

I use Streamline.net, they are a great hosting service. I use the Power user account which includes: 750Mb webspace per domain, 10 sub domains, and 5 Mysql databases

I have learnt PHP, SQL, HTML, and some CSS using w3schools, however i cant find a way to layout a complex website, such as menu components etc without using absolute positioning, and i have always assumed this is too much work (especially if the website is being created without a WYSIWYG editor)

Thankyou so much for that, its fixed my problem , by the way, about CSS, i know how to use CSS to change the properties of tables, images, links etc. But ive always assumed its too complicated to make a webpage using only CSS. Do you have any good links to tutorials that might come in handy?

I'm currently trying to learn how to design websites (at the moment i know CSS, HTML and PHP quite well). Im currently trying to make a menu using a table. The background colors of the table cells will be defined using CSS, however, the cell above that cell should have an image inside it (which will make a cell with rounded corners) At the moment, this is the HTML i have written: <table border = '0' style = 'table-layout:fixed;border-collapse:collapse;'> <tr> <td><img src = 'file:///C:/Users/Alexk/Documents/photoshop%20files/title01.png' style = 'width:100%;height:16px;'></td> <td><img src = 'file:///C:/Users/Alexk/Documents/photoshop%20files/title01.png' style = 'width:100%;height:16px;'></td> <td><img src = 'file:///C:/Users/Alexk/Documents/photoshop%20files/title01.png' style = 'width:100%;height:16px;'></td> </tr> <tr> <td style = 'background-color:#ff3333;font-family:"trebuchet ms";valign:center;'>Hello</td> <td style = 'background-color:#ff3333;font-family:"trebuchet ms";valign:center;'>Hello</td> <td style = 'background-color:#ff3333;font-family:"trebuchet ms";valign:center;'>Hello</td> </tr> </table> However the result is horrible (although i wasn't expecting it too look great anyway, but still...) There are gaps between the images and the rest of the table. Should i add padding, margin properties etc too the images/table cells, or is there a simpler way Any help or advice on this would be appreciated :D

Im also trying to get into website design, but at the moment, im more of a website developer (so i do know HTML, CSS, and PHP) quite well. The only thing i can do is images on websites. However im going to buy photoshop elements 5 and give it ago. Is the best way to go about designing a website, sketching a load of designs on paper, then drawing an official version and going off that. Or is it better to design a layout in photoshop and go from there?
