Getting a wierd gap at the top of my website in IE8: http://www.greecebreaks.co.uk Had a quick search on google but couldn't find anything. Has anyone else come accross this problem? EDIT: It's not happening all the time. Just went back onto the page and the margin had gone!

Hi, Having some problems displaying a background on the footer: greecebreaks.co.uk. Here is my code: #footer_wrap { width: 100%; height: 200px; background: #A4C1F9 url('images/footer_bg.jpg') repeat-x; } #footer { width: 960px; margin 0 auto; } <div id="footer_wrap"> <div id="footer"> <p>GreeceBreaks.co.uk is proudly powered by <a href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a><br /><a href="http://www.greecebreaks.co.uk/feed/">Entries (RSS)</a> and <a href="http://www.greecebreaks.co.uk/comments/feed/">Comments (RSS)</a>.</p> </div> </div>

How to center your site: http://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/topic/2473-how-to-center-a-site-using-css/

Definitely use .co.uk for the site and redirect the .com to it

You can check the renewal dates on the whois entry. If it is in the suspended/redemption period then there will be a way of renewing it.

Just a tip, always code for firefox and then find the fixes/hacks for IE. It is a lot easier doing it this way round.

Drop me a PM with the link and i will take a look

Have a look here, they offer a free hosting plan, otherwise i have a reseller hosting plan if you want some cheap hosting.

Link?

Looks fine to me. Also, any reason why you have google ads on your site?

You can do this from inside your 123-reg control panel, something like web forwarding or domain forwarding, it is free as well from 123-reg.

What width should you use for a fixed width layout?

Also, always best to code for firefox and then hack for IE.

You will need to copy the html and css into you current template files.

No problem

Hi Vicky, You should just be able to swap the php code into the <a> tag: <li><a href="#" <?php if ($thisPage=="Capabilities") echo " class=\"active\""; ?>>Capabilities</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Safety Management</a></li> <li><a href="#">Risk Management</a></li> <li><a href="#">Project Management</a></li> <li><a href="#">Business Development</a></li> <li><a href="#">Bid Support</a></li> </ul> </li> - Ben

Hi Vicky, I think it is because you are styling the <li> and not the <a>. This is your current code: #navigation li.active a, #navigation li a:hover{color:#fdc21c;} <li class="active"><a href="#">Capabilities</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Safety Management</a></li> <li><a href="#">Risk Management</a></li> <li><a href="#">Project Management</a></li> <li><a href="#">Business Development</a></li> <li><a href="#">Bid Support</a></li> </ul> </li> Change it to this: #navigation li a.active, #navigation li a:hover{color:#fdc21c;} <li><a href="#" class="active">Capabilities</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Safety Management</a></li> <li><a href="#">Risk Management</a></li> <li><a href="#">Project Management</a></li> <li><a href="#">Business Development</a></li> <li><a href="#">Bid Support</a></li> </ul> </li> -Ben

I would try wordpress or cms made simple - both are really easy to use.

You don't need to "make" any php pages. Just upload the files to your ftp and follow the installation.

If you after another printer recommendation, i have used: http://www.doddle.co.uk/ 1000 400gsm double sided business cards for £40.25 VAT

Have you had a look at sitepoint? I think you would be better charging a %. Some clients will have a budget of £xx, some will have £xxx.

Google.com shows you as having 9 pages indexed: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=s...mp;aq=f&oq=

My advice would be to dive straight in at the deep end! If you don't know how to code then you wont be able to open up notepad and intantly code yourself an excellent website. What i would do is find yourself a free template and work from them. Learn how to change what you need to and it will be a good learning experience.

Scott i absolutely right if it is a .uk domain, if is .com or other then you can add privacy to the whois. Some registrars offer this for free, others charge a few quick a year.

You don't need to use background attachment/position etc if you are only using a bg colour, these are only used when you use an image for the background
