Thanks Fisicx. I see what you are saying, but I want to keep the changing image. I will carry on experimenting.

I have now experimented with: overflow: hidden; but still cant fix it... anybody out there who can help?

Good Morning All, Firstly, I am not a web designer by trade (self taught HTML & CSS), so please be gentle!! I have just uploaded my company website and I have found an issue that I can seem to fix! This is the site: www.elastothane.com You will see that there is a large image across the top of every page. Is the CSS at the top of the page I added: #stage2 a { width:100% } #stage2 a img { width: 100% } This makes the image resize according to the browser/screen size, however on a larger screen the image starts to cover over the small orange banner underneath it and some of the text in the white area below. How do I make sure everything stays below the image when it is resized? May Thanks

Thank you so much - it s fixed!

Hi, Can anyone help - i am really stuck!! Dan

Hi all, I am a realative novice with JS so I dont know how to solve the problem I have. my site is: http://www.chemlineuk.com and I have a problem on my gallery page where I have used lightbox for the gallery tool as well as a fading slide show image script at the top of my site. The problem is that the slide show is appearing over the top of the lightbox image when you click on a thumbnail. It only affects the first row of thumbs and if you scroll down the issue goes as the slide show at the top scrolls off screen. I need the lightbox image to always appear on top. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Dan

Thanks - i will look at my hosting and see if I can use that. I may need some help on this so be on standby!! Thanks again

Hi all, I need to password protect a webpage where word documents are downloadable. There will only one password required that will be issued to 3 users so there is no need for different passwords. I currently use a javascript username and password but my issue is that if somebody looks at the page source they can see what the password is. Secondly once somebody has visited the page that the password links to, they can can simply remember the url and go to it without using the password. I have no knowledge of php or any other languages other than html and javascript so please be gentle! Can anybody help? The test version of the javascript password is at: www.chemlineuk.com/secure.htm username: england password: europe Thanks

Hi - I have changed the whole site to be firefox friendly now. I have also downloaded Firefox so can I can switch between browers to check things out.

Hi, I have tried changing all color attributes to inclue "#" but I dont know how to test it now? I was only told it wasnt working by someone who uses firefox - any suggestions? here is the site: chemlineuk

Mainly firefox changing the colour of text ie white in explorer turns to black in firefox

Hi all, I have come across browser compatibility issues for the first time with my new site. How do ensure that my site is compatable with all browsers? Dan

Hi all, This is my latest site - its actually my site for my business. live version here Having some issues with firefox - could do with some advice if there are any takers!! Cheers Dan

Ever thought of being a detective? Fixed!! Thanks again Darren

oh - not quite the solution - that is just increasing the margin around the whole image maing the title/close bar have a gap between it and the image. still tinkering - if you work it out let me know and vice versa. Cheers mate I owe you a pint!!

Fixed - found it in the CSS: outerImageContainer{ position: relative; background-color: #fff; width: 250px; height: 250px; margin: 20 auto; } change margin: 20 to whatever you want (was 0) Thanks again Darren you have been a huge help. Dan

No Joy. Do you think it is something in the CSS file?

No Problem - one final question if you dont mind? at the moment the expanded image is appear directly under the menu bar of explorer as if it is "snapped" to the very top of the page. How do I move it down a bit? Dan

Darren, Has anyone ever mentioned that you are a genius...... Thank you so so much Dan

link to my test pages so you can see whats going on: http://www.chemlineuk.com/gallery2.htm

Thanks Darren. I have ditched the old way I was doing things but now I am left struggling to get lightbox to work. Is there any chance you or anyone else can give me a step by step hand in getting it to work. So far I have download lightbox, added CSS and JS and Image files (currently in folder also) into the offline folder where my html pages and "pics" folder containing my site graphics are. I have copied the 2 javascript lines into the header of the page and the second sets of html into the body where i want the gallery. All that happens is I get some thumbnails that once clicked it opens a single large image way down on the bottom of the same page with a close button under it. I am getting so frustrated as it appears so simple to look at so why doesnt it F$%*%*!g work!!!!!!

Just googled Slimbox and I cant get my head around it. I am good with HTML - anything else is cutting and pasting and tinkering for me. I have looked at what you said above and edited what I thought but the whole thing has gone pear shaped!

i agree, however i havent found a simple way of doing that and I am at best a code plagerist! secondly i am now having problems with what I have already done - have a look - all my magnifying images arent on the corners of the pics now arrrrrgghhhhh. any ideas now?

how about this: http://www.chemlineuk.com/gallery.htm Dan
