    What is your favorite hosting company?

    I was searching for a new host, and as per this site I decided to take a look at Just Host. They looked pretty good. Basically the same deal as BlueHost. I started filling out a form, and then had to run out so I left it on the screen. Coming back a couple hours later, I noticed a few strange...

    PHP vs HTML

    Yeah I can see that, thanks. In that case, do you mind starting me off with the basic outline of the script I need?

    PHP vs HTML

    That all makes sense, thanks. Rather than create a new thread, I'll just ask this here: How do I make it so that my nav buttons invoke the include() function to replace the content of a static area?

    Installing Apache

    It can't be IIS. After Apache didn't work, I installed IIS to see if that works.

    Installing Apache

    I'm completely lost. Can someone give me a very basic guide to installing Apache 2.0.x on Windows XP? I've installed the thing, but can't get that "It works!" page to come up. I'm not sure where the problem is, and I don't have an error log for some reason. EDIT: I get this error when trying...

    Disable text/image highlighting

    Is there a way to disable highlighting of elements? This isn't a crucial matter, but I feel it makes the site somewhat more stylish if, for example, you can't highlight the text on the nav buttons.

    Expression Web 2 vs Dreamweaver CS4

    I use Expression because that is what was supplied to us in university, so I have grown used to it. I don't use .NET, so I may shift over to Dreamweaver eventually.

    Expression Web 2 vs Dreamweaver CS4

    What do most people use/prefer? Almost every web design/developer job I see requires experience with Dreamweaver. I haven't seen one job ad that mentions Expression. I tried Dreamweaver, briefly, and couldn't really understand what it could do that Expression can't.

    PHP vs HTML

    Can someone explain to me clearly what the main advantage(s) of using PHP over regular HTML are? Does it depend of the style/content of the site or it it just a more functional language? Also, what is a typical use for PHP?

    Overlay gradients

    Not in this case no. I tried that with two images, one at the top and one at the bottom, but I couldn't arrange it so that they were in the right position and that the text flowed behind them rather than between them. This is roughly what I have: <div> <script> /*Scrolling...

    Overlay gradients

    I have a div that scrolls text vertically within it. At the top and bottom of this div I want transparent gradient overlay images so that the text appears to be fading as it reaches the vertical edges. I'm a little confused as how to do this however. Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm looking for a script that will slowly auto-scroll text vertically within a frame or div with a fade effect at the top and bottom.

    Linking to external template

    Is an ASP master page considered a content management system? How easy/hard would it be to convert my site, which is completely XHTML, to ASP.NET?

    Linking to external template

    Currently, I have one "master" template, which contains things like nav buttons, editable areas and a single table which hold those editable areas and also the footer (the reason I put the footer in this table is a long story). I recently created a CSS for the layout of these items, but if I...

    Sorry to bump, but I'd appreciate an answer.

    Linking to external template

    I've got a fairly good grasp of web design, but I still have a lot to learn. Right now, I'm creating and updating my pages using a single "master" dynamic web template. It works fine except for the fact that I have to re-upload all the pages attached to it when it gets changed. In my case, this...
