You need to add a 'margin' that accords to your layout. Add:
 
#box {
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
}
 
 
or
 
#box {
 
margin: 0 20% 0 20%;
}
 
This works with all browsers.

If you use percent for your wrapper width, but used fixed for the other divs only your wrapper will adjust it size. This will cause your other divs to move within the wrapper itself when the page is resized.

Use % based values for widths?

For rounded corners use border-radius. Opera, Safar 5+ and Chrome 5+ and IE9 support it. The next version of Firefox will also support it. It makes sense to add it in now for the future

There's no way to validate them against W3C specs or igonore them in the validation report.
 
My advice - don't worry about them not validating

The short answer is No, I think.
 
I have seen these vendor specific tags described as temporary. When HTML5 and CSS3 become officially released and browsers know exactly what standards they have to meet, the -moz- etc. part will not be necessary.
 
Browsers are at present guessing what coding and standards they need for HTML5 and CSS3 as the standards are still being modified.
 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc351024%28VS.85%29.aspx says
"Note It is important to remember that many CSS3 modules are still in the Working Draft or Last Call stages. Until they reach the Candidate Recommendation stage, they could change significantly. For more information, see the latest CSS3 draft modules."

it's getting ridiculous now. I don't mind helping people out etc but if the recent topics/posts are going to be full of spamming or SEO nonsense then I'm not going to have much desire to go looking for genuine threads.
 
Every morning we're getting some *insert expletive* spamming the boards with copies of previous posts, opening up really old threads to spout nonsense or the bleeding obvious or trying to promote their SEO company in some 'clever' way.
 

you could save your script as an external file and link to it or wrap your code in cdata
 

<script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ ...code... //]]> </script>

yes. I grabbed the version of jquery they used from the source of this http://www.gcmingati.net/wordpress/wp-content/lab/jquery/newsticker/jq-liscroll/scrollanimate.html

jquery.js doesn't exist? I see the jquery-1.4.2.js in your js folder

cool

okay, clicking the first link IE gives an error

I've not looked deeper than that yet.

you're not loading jquery?

ie. this is missing
 
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>

Now there's a thing I pay absolutely no heed to whatsoever - "Googlerank".
Similiarly, anybody who's searching for something.
 
It's getting it into the top end of that first page.
And I doubt any of those moneytrap SEO companies will do much for you.
Each business is an individual one with individual requirements.
 
It's down to sitting down and figuring out what the search phrases are for the business. The target market.
It may take hours, days even.
It's down to the individual boring, metatags, titles, content.
It's down to sorting out links into your site from larger, higher ranked , very possibly relevant, websites.
 
It's slow, it's painful. But it works.
No substitute, no short cuts to plain hard work.
 
No amount of computer or designer skill will overcome this.
You need to get to know the business you're trying to market.

Yahoo site explorer is good tool to analyze your competitors.

My advice is to analyze your competitors and who is ranking number 1 for that keyword and why you are not. Contact me at Trevor Hall Web Development and we can talk more about this if you would like.

There are problems with the drop down part being hidden behind Javascript and Flash items, but it doesn't usually happen with ordinary html.
 
As said above, z-index is the basis of getting one item above another, but position is also often required and transparent for Flash videos. See item 4 here:-

which may not suit your situation but may help.

Hi jbraden37,
 
To create a seamless gradient background that blends with the background colour of your website, use the css repeat property where you declare your background image.
 

body { background-color: #E50303; background-image: url(images/background-gradient.jpg) repeat-x; }
 
The "repeat-x" in the code above tells your gradient image to only repeat horizontally. Therefore, the gradient will cover the width of your site, and any information past the height of the gradient image will be shown over your background colour.

It's perfectly fine to have file extensions like yoursite.com/contact.php - most of the internet has worked that way for decades sounds like you've seen some duff information.
 
As for index pages inside folders, eg /foldername/index.php, then you can use /foldername/index.php or /foldername/ when creating links within your site. Both methods are perfectly fine but search engines will see both versions as different pages so use one format and stick to it - be consistant!
 
PS it's always best to take online testing tools with a pinch of salt!
