    Working with PHP files (not exactly PHP related)

    I decided to simplify my PHP based website my shifting most of the <head> content to and external file 'head.php'. However, since I'm using the include('head.php') statement, I can't see the page as it would appear normally in my editing program (Expression Web 2). Is there a way around this?

    The "position" attribute

    Do most people use it? If so, how much? I used to use it when I was starting out, as I saw it as the simplest way of positioning elements. However, they started causing me much grief when they conflicted with other elements and began throwing objects all over the page. So now I simply use...

    Typical fees for website design

    I wasn't sure where to put this thread, it didn't seem to fit in the Web Trader section, so please move it if it more appropriate somewhere else. What is a typical cost/pricing structure for web design/development? Should it be by hourly rate, per page, an up front commission or a...

    changing header in .css

    Try refreshing the view in whatever program you are using. Sometimes it doesn't recognize a new file being added to the directory. If refreshing doesn't work, just restart the program.

    Review My Design Site

    It looks pretty good, I like the layout. One small thing that's probably just an oversight, you should align the logo at the top with the main area. About the site content itself, I think there may just be a bit too much text. I'm not saying get rid of the text, but at least try to balance...

    Ah I understand now, thanks. I was just trying to get my head around the tab variable.

    Change pages using PHP

    Thanks, I'll try that. Just for clarification, is the second batch of code meant to encapsulate the nav bar and the main div area? Also, why is the first batch of code before the document declaration? EDIT: That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks. One thing though, how can I change...

    Change pages using PHP

    First of all, I'm sorry for cluttering up the forums with all these similar threads, but I keep running into new snags. What I have here is a main <div> with nav buttons above. When I click the buttons (<td> with onclick function), I want to include() the respective php file into that div...

    PHP vs HTML

    I'm having a lot of trouble trying to import large chunks of code from external files, so I'm trying PHP again. Is there a similar statement to "document.getElementById()" in PHP? I want to be able to specify where to include() a file.

    Dynamic content area

    I sort of have this figured out using the innerHTML attribute, apart from one glitch. Every time I make a call that changes the content, the content is displayed a little lower than the previous content. In other words, if I rapidly make calls to change the content, that contents will appear to...

    Table not centered in IE

    Put the table in a <div>, and set the div's margin to 0 auto. Set the div's dimensions to that of the table, and then set the table's width and height to 100%;

    Menu design

    All that menu is (assuming you're talking about the black/grey one at the top) is a collection of images. All the grey parts are thin images placed in their respective positions, although you could easily create a large grey panel and use it as a background to a div, and then the links are...

    Installing Apache

    I didn't Google the specific error, but I browsed through a lot of FAQs and Wiki's for any hint at what should be a very obvious and simple mistake on my part. But don't worry anymore, I decided to let it go. I really only wanted it for testing purposes, which by the way, can I install PHP...

    Hide filename in URL

    I see a lot of sites, including this one, that doesn't show filenames in the URL (eg. http://www.domain.com/index.htm). How is this done? For other pages/subpages, are they simply in subdirectories in the websites file structure? EDIT: I tried putting the files in separate folders and...

    Dynamic content area

    I'm not sure what the correct term for it is, but all I want is simply a script that will populate a single div with content from multiple external htm files. In other words, I have a single div area for the content and several nav buttons at the top of the page. For each nav button, I want...

    Custom font family

    Is there a way to include a non-standard font family with your site so that users without said font are able view it?
