  2. 1) check out This Link The entire project is much more complicated, but the first few paragraphs of the example show just how to grow your menu section along with the content. 2) here's what works for me (very stripped down): body ( text-align: center;} #container { margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto} Put everyting in the container and it will center itself. 3) There are margin and padding styles for nearly every kind of object, roughly corresponding to spacing and paddng in tables. In a general way, I've learned a lot from A List Apart. Check out the Archive. There are also many links in various articles there, going to other sites with good css examples. Hope all this helps.
  3. Hi Mark. Welcome! Dance
  4. Be happy to. I've already sent this one to Mitch, but you saw it here, so ... Rock Sign
  5. Thanks. I will.

  8. I don't really know where in the forum hierarchy this belongs, so I'll put it here and maybe Mitch can move it to somewhere more appropriate. In looking around the TCH pages, I find various things (typos, spelling, grammar, ...) that I'd like to correct. TCH is such a great place, and I'd like to see its image not marred by such things. My first example: on this SSL page on the Help Web Site, at the bottom of the first paragraph, it says My question is, should I be posting these things on the Forum when I see them? And if so, in what area? Or should I email someone? Who? In the interest of helping make TCH the Best it can be. Thanks. Jim

  11. All you should have to do is not call the redirect. Instead, place normal html after the closing ?> at the bottom, using the 'echo' technique to display your field values. The simplest would be something like: You're done. Edit: This is a quick and dirty piece of code. Of course you'll need to make your $vars array global and follow all the php rules and so on. But from the code you've supplied I can see you're already well up on that.
  12. If I understand what you're asking, it should be pretty easy. In the php file that your form's "action" calls, output some html with content like: Field Title: <?php echo $field; ?> Format the output any way you want by normal html rules. This works for simple output from the form in real time. If what you want is to create a file which you can then use later, you'd have to use the php Filesystem functions, create a new file, write the html into it and save it to your disk. Is this what you're looking for, or have I missed it entirely? Jim

  15. You really don't sleep, do you? 'Course I'm awake too. How about Over_Seer ?
  16. Jack, I'm assuming that by splitting off 'head' and 'foot' areas, you also mean that opening and closing tags ({html}, {body}, ...) will be in different files. Yes? Maybe it's my obsessive nature, but the idea makes me nervous.
  17. My pleasure. I benefit so much from the family here, it's great to be able to contribute something occasionally. Dance Jim
  18. I also use a server on my local machine for testing php stuff. After trying IIS and reading about Apache (only available on WindowsNT, I think), I came across Abyss Web Server. It's FREE, runs on Windows and Linux, and very easy to install and run. PHP is of course a free download, and again very easy to set up in Abyss.
  19. I believe the _vti_... stuff is FrontPage extensions. If you're using FrontPage, you need them. If not, you can turn off FrontPage in the Cpanel and they all go away as if by magic.

    Mozilla

    I stopped using regular Mozilla a couple of weeks ago in favor of Mozilla Firebird. A highly recommended move. The browser is leaner, and as far as I can tell has no Splash screen anyway. However, when I was using Mozilla I recall that I had to enable the 'quick start'' option. An icon sits in the system tray representing some part of Mozilla running in the background all the time. The browser starts much faster, and no Splash screen. It's somewhere in the 'Edit/Preferences' menu. Probably 'Startup'.
  21. I just looked at it in Mozilla and it looks fine. For the moment.
  22. I just checked it again, and it's fine now. I had the same problem with a site not updating the other day. Turns out I had my ftp upload for that site set to the old server8 ip address. So the upload went fine -- to the old address. Anyway, thanks for keeping up with this. The site looks great! Thumbs Up
  23. Actually, Ty, the scroller is still shifted to the right in Mozilla. Any other Mozilla users out there experiencing this? Or is it just me?
  24. Well. I'm amazed if I'm the only person around here with access to a Mac. Anyway, I have a fairly old Mac running OS8.6. On IE5.2 your page looks fine. No script name or version appear. Just a search box. Checking Netscape6 now ... Looks fine there also. I think you need someone else with a newer Mac to look. But here's something: On my Windows machine using Mozilla Firebird, the search box is fine, but the scrolling lyric is shifted right so it occludes the 'add to favorites' link and part of the search box. The lyrics overlap by 2-3 characters. IE6 on Windows is fine. NS6 on Windows is fine. Hope all this helps Jim

    Summer

    Here in the Boston area it's actually a bit cooler than usual this year. We had a very cold and wet Spring, then July 4th weekend was hot. Now it's hovering around 80 most days; usually it's 90. 'S OK, though. Thumbs Up
