What is the real difference between .co.uk / .com / .org etc

Hi I wasn't sure where to post this, but hopefully it's in the right place. If not, I'm sure someone will tell me!! I need to do a clean instal on my pc and would like to know the steps I need to take in order to ensure that, when I reinstall Dreamweaver CS5, my websites and test sites still work ok. I've been able to find one or two bits of information online, but nothing which gives a comprehensive guide. So far, I've backed up my Site Definitions. I've also copied all my websites and test sites, ie html files, css files etc to an external HDD. That said, the live site wouldn't copy across for some reason. I've had to manually copy each file and all bar one seems to have copied ok. Is there anything else I need to do before I wipe my hard drive? Once I've reinstalled all my software etc, what steps do I need to take to get my websites back onto my pc successfully to ensure that they all work ok? Many thanks.

Hi, missed this yesterday when I was going through the replies. Thanks for your post. I'll work with width/height for the moment and see if that works for the 'rogue' images. If not, I'll post a link. Many thanks.

Thanks for this variation on RowruffDesign's suggestion. Much appreciated.

Thanks for this. Yes I can do that and it seems to work, but I still don't understand why the problem only affects certain images.

Hi, I have created a simple website and all the images are sized using Photoshop CS4 beforehand. When viewed in Chrome and Firefox, the images all appear as they should do. When viewed in IE9, a few of the images throughout the website are larger than they should be. They are not confined to one page, it's generally one image out of several wich is affected. Here's what I've done to try and sort out the problem, without success: - checked Internet Options to make sure that Enable Automatic Resizing is not checked, which it isn't - checked the code and there is nothing I can see which should force certain images to resize. - xhecked that one or two of the affected images are correctly sized which they are. To make sure, I deleted one of them and did the work again in Photoshop. IE9 still resized the image to be 1" approx. bigger. Can anyone suggest anything else I can do, check etc? Hope to hear from someone soon. Many thanks.

Thanks, Mike. Good link - I can see I will be using it ... a lot!

Thanks for your post, Mike. To be honest, I'm not sure what code I'm using! What I've learnt so far is mainly from online tutorials and books so I imagine that it could be a 'bit of this' and a 'bit of that'. Silly question perhaps, but how would I know? Any recommendations on where to start to learn about HTML and CSS?

Thanks for your post, and the link. I can see that I need to learn a lot more about DOCTYPES!

Thanks for your post, porkchops. I'll look into HTML5.

Hi, I'm new to web design and although I have read a fair bit about DOCTYPE, I find it all a bit confusing. I was wondering what DOCTYPE those with more experience would recommend to someone who could best be described as keen amateur who has been asked to design a few sites for friends. Some of the sites may be viewed by IE 6 and 7. I use Dreamweaver CS5. To date I have used this: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> But have also used this to get IE6/7 to look ok: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> Any advice you can give would be much appreciated. Thanks (in advance)!

I've just checked it in IE7 and the drop quite possibly equates to the height of the top level menu's. It's a spry menu bar, not sure if that helps (or hinders!)? OK, progress of sorts! I went back to your link (jsFiddle) and read through it again and suddenly it all made sense! There was just a flat line across the top of the menu bar. I added your cleared statement to index.html and my templates and have a box around the spry menu. I removed a margin I had previously set to force the image away from the menu. However, the cleared statement makes no difference to my Contact page. Would you be able to have a look at it for me to see what is happening?

Quite possibly, but not sure.

Hi, I've decided against having a background image, but am still having one or two problems with the display in IE6 and 7 which some of the potential users may have. The main image should only be a couple of mm below the menu bar, but drops by about 1/2" in IE 6/7. Not sure if it's linked to the float problem. I've loaded the test site here: www.gomeril.co.uk. I'd appreciate your comments. Thanks.

Hi, I'm quite new to website design and can't write javascript as yet. My CSS is 'trainee level' so please be gentle with me! I've recently installed Fancybox 1.3.4 which works fine, but I'd like to make some changes to the way the gallery displays. The caption appeared 'over' the image, but I wanted it 'inside'. Below is the code I cut and paste from Fancybox website, which I then adjusted as shown: <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $(".fancybox").fancybox({ 'transitionIn' : 'none', 'transitionOut' : 'none', 'overlayColor' : '#000000', 'overlayOpacity' : '0.90', 'titlePosition' : 'over', <!-- was 'inside' --> 'titleFormat' : function(title, currentArray,currentIndex, currentOpts) { return '<span id="fancybox-title-inside">Image ' + (currentIndex + 1) + ' of ' + currentArray.length + (title.length ? ' ' + title : '') + '</span>'; } }); <!-- was fancybox-title-over --> </script> This bought the title inside (see attached), but the text is displaying partly outside the frame. I would like the text aligning to the left, possibly made bold, with the 'Image 1 of 3' text showing on a new line below it, ie This is a title for an image Image 1 of 3 The existing styling for fancybox-title-inside is as follows. Whatever I try, most of the changes don't have any effect, or make the display worse: .fancybox-title-inside { padding-bottom: 10px; text-align: center; /* tried left, made no difference */ color: #333; background: #fff; position: relative; } Can someone help me with the javascript and CSS to do this please? Many thanks.

Thanks, Mike. I prefer 'root > img > galleries > gallery_1' and, as there seems to be no problem re slowing things down or whatever, I'll go with that. Makes things easier to find.
