hi all - been trying to get my dropdown menu to work in IE & firefox ended up seeking help through a friend and using a javascript fix (well, kinda) - it's now all jumpy! LINK - as you will see! where did I go wrong? any help greatly appreciated... eighty0ne x

hi all, got a problem with my dropdown menu - here basically, it all works a treat in Firefox but no joy at all in IE7 please tell me there is a fix before I rip all my hair out... *and relax...* cheers, eighty0ne

hi all, I built a (.dwt) template in Dreamweaver (as per usual) and have been creating pages from it (New/Page from Template)... however, now I have come to update the .dwt template file (I only need to edit a menu item), it doesn't seem to work, giving me the message: Updating [...] Done. files examined: 8 files updated: 0 files which could not be updated: 0 total time: (0:00:00) anyone any idea what is going wrong? can provide further info - just ask! ta, eighty0ne

Hi - could anyone explain why this page and this page drop down in the right column when viewed in Internet Explorer - when this page appears just fine... nb. All pages seem fine in Firefox cheers, eighty0ne

hey bluedreamer - yup, it's Matt's Formmail.pl i changed email input name to "email" as suggested: <input type='hidden' name="email" value="xxx@triptychevents.co.uk"/> but it just gave me the invalid error this isn't so urgent - i mean, I can live with being sent emails from (unknown user) - would just be nice to know how to change it!

hey RobH - thanks! that seems to do the trick - how do I then align the subMenu blocks so they start on the left and span the wrapper width? cheers again, eighty0ne

hey ya'll - how do I go about changing my dropdown subMenu so that it displays (and spans width) horizontally across the screen rather than vertically down? link HERE also still having issues getting dropdown to display at all in IE if anyone can offer a fix? cheers ~ eighty0ne

just a niggly issue this - form all working well but how do I change the name of the sender? ie. when the form emails me the results it is from (unknown sender) cheers in advance ~ eighty0ne

thanks Thomas - I ended up using a different layout in the end! see here

hey - me again! anyone fancy explaining what's going on with my special features box? LINK yours hopefully ~ eighty0ne

hey again - I made a start on the submenu and I think the bones are in place but it's not quite what I am after - you'll see what I mean LINK also, it doesn't appear to work in IE any thoughts? cheers ~ eighty0ne

thanks for all your help everyone my next mission is to add a menu system that appears when you hover over each menu heading (see attached for concept) anyone point me in the direction of some guidance/tutorial? cheers again ~ eighty0ne

thanks RobH - rescued me again! padding-left in rightColumn was the culprit all seems to work in IE now - cheers, eighty0ne ps. on a seperate note, can anyone comment on the reliability of the firefox IE Tab add-on? (mainly, does anyone use it? and what version of IE does it relate to?)

hey Sono - thanks for your comment - where do i need to apply that code? ie. { margin: 0; padding: 0; } to the whole page/body/wrapper? sorry, bit confused - eighty0ne

hi bluedreamer - this is going to sound really dull but i need the SUBSCRIBE NOW text to be red and I couldn't work out how to override the grey 'standardLinks a' for that one list item - hence it ending up in a seperate div (!) there was logic there somewhere... what do i need to do? cheers - eighty0ne

oh, and if anyone knows why SUBSCRIBE NOW appears to be a couple of pixels higher than the rest of the line (top right) you would make my easter dreams come true - haha - eighty0ne

hi -could someone please explain what's going on with my rightColumn in IE it keeps dropping down - grr - LINK everything works fine in firefox *bangs head on wall* any help greatfully received ~ cheers, eighty0ne

hi again - thanks for your input php_penguin basically, it seems likely that I will be able to convince the client to change their hosting service they have asked me to recommend a few that support MySQL/PHP so I thought I'd come back and ask the professionals! any suggestions? cheers in advance ~ eighty0ne

thanks RobH - as a beginner myself I thought I was going mad when I came across that site - guessed I had missed some important lesson on this steep learning curve that taught the divs&tables method but thankfully not! cheers again for clearing that up ~ eighty0ne

hi, could someone please explain why some sites (for example: www.airside.co.uk) use both divs AND tables? is it a matter of alignment in IE? *best guess* cheers - eighty0ne

bluedreamer - i post so randomly on here but you are always first to my rescue, thanks! *ponders what time you have spare to play that guitar* ~ eighty0ne ps. anyone any thoughts on the dropdown IE fix and/or that annoying dark line under the navigation (in IE)

oh, also - number three! there seems to be an annoying darker black line (border?) under the navigation in IE any idea where this is coming from? cheers again

hey all - happy sunday been having a few issues with a horizontal css dropdown menu - this is my first attempt at such a project so go easy on me! firstly, on each dropdown link (in firefox) there seems so be a couple of pixels extra on the right edge - you'll see what I mean (i hope) - what have I done wrong there then? *scratches head* secondly, is there a fairly easy fix to get this up and running in IE? not even getting dropdowns at the minute! oh - link to page - nearly forgot, duh cheers in advance, eighty0ne

thanks bluedreamer!

hi all - I am a trainee and have been asked to put together a website with a registration system/members only area for a paying client however, the client's hosting does not support MySQL/PHP - which I could probably have worked out the hosting only supports Perl/CGI leaving me a bit confused... is there a way to do this via Perl/CGI (that isn't ridiculously complex)? or should I tell them they have to upgrade their hosting if they want this feature? any advice gratefully recieved - eighty0ne
