jlspurling reacted to Wickham in IE6 Positioning/Z-Index ProblemI use a csshover.htc behavior file from here for IE6
http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html
near the bottom, I have Version 1.42.060206 which I have used for a long time but there is a Version 3.11 (:hover, :active and :focus) now which should work the same way. Put it in the same directory as the html file.
It needs to be linked in the IE6 conditional comment. I tried for a long time and found that your IE6 conditional comment wasn't working so I re-typed it as the last item before the </head> tag:-
<!--[if ie 6]>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.jolora.co.uk/livingstones/css/ie6.css" />
<script src="http://www.jolora.co.uk/livingstones/js/png-fix.js"></script>
<script>
DD_belatedPNG.fix('#tel, #email, #post, .container, #aside-bottom, h1, #searchform label');
</script>
<style type="text/css">
body {behavior:url(csshover.htc);}
.nav li ul li { background: green; }/*just to test IE6*/
</style><![endif]-->
and it worked in IE6; it's now being processed after all the alternative stylesheets.
Note that I only downloaded your screen and reset stylesheets although the others did have absolute urls so they were probably being used and IE needs ActiveX enabled, but the csshover.htc file definitely made the drop down level under Services work. The menu is a bit jumpy in IE6, so you may have some more work to do.
I also notice that you are using the doctype <!DOCTYPE html> which I think is the new HTML5 method, but IE6 dropdown worked with that one or
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">

jlspurling got a reaction from ErisDS in Javascript: Which framework & why?i voted jquery and mootools.
jquery is my personal favourite because i'm happy to admit i won't use it much past basic front end stuff like animations and so jquery is definitely the most suited to a web designer.
i've dabbled with mootools and can see immediately it's got far more potential.. it's just not as easy for me and jquery saves time for what i do.

jlspurling got a reaction from lazytycoon in Recommended UK Host for E-Commerce?if you are looking to have a lot of control over your site i would suggest going with a usual host that provides php etc and installing free software such as magento or cubecart... bare in mind you'll need a host that can provide you a dedicated ip address in order to get an ssl certificate. this will give you full control over whatever you want to do.
if you want to go with the slightly simpler hosted option i would ignore the links you provided there and take a lot at shopify... i can't say i have used it but it does look very impressive.
