Centering of "container" box for whole page

wbmkk — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:05:32 GMT

Hello, I am new to HTML etc so hope you can help.

I'm designing a web page and will design with a1024px wide screen as my default, allowing a bit of space of course around the edge.

I want to create a 'container' for ALL sections of the site, which will automatically align to the centre, but am a bit stuck.

I opted to have the body 100% wide, so this will then provide a hint of colour no matter how wide a viewer's screen is. I wanted this container to be central, no matter how wide the screen resolution is.

I read somewhere that the postion property only works if the parent has position relativr, so did this for the body, but still no luck

I tried float, left and margin options, but still can't get the container to centrtalise.

Any help would be appreciated

Regards !

Is there any way to do this in PHP (or with a combination of JS)?

There's a login form on page A: http://www.example.com/A.html

The 'action' attribute of which is: action="/B.html"

So when someone logs in with the form on A.html, the data will be submitted to / visitor redirected to B.html.

Now what I want is: there's an on /C.html, framing B.html, is there any way so that when someone logs in with the form on A.html, the visitor is redirected to C.html and the login details is submitted to B.html that's framed on C.html in the ? So after the person logs in from A.html, he arrives at C.html with the actual CP dashboard framed in an .

I have absolutely no clue in achieving this. Maybe the form will be submitted to C.html first and C.html submits the login details to B.html (framed in C.html) via JavaScript? How?

I think it went pretty well. My domain is in my profile. I just built that whole website from scratch--I was way overdue for an upgrade.

I have one question--I'd like the sidebar and the navbar to stretch to the end of the page, but they are of a fixed length. Is there anything I can do about that?

Also, my favicon won't show up anymore--the original one would, but I changed it and now the new one won't display--any pointers?

Major Word Press Issue!!!!!

I'm creating a theme and whenever I put the search on the sidebar it messes up the whole design (as it does now on PHILOCITY.COM/TESTER). When I remove the search, it goes back to normal. What's Wrong?

Anyone know about mod_rewrite?

meloncholy — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:32:38 GMT

I don't like mod_rewrite. I don't really understand mod_rewrite (and specifically why it breaks), which probably has quite a lot to do with it. :) But enough moaning...

I've moved a folder full of images and I want to redirect them to the new location, so if I visit

Code:

http://www.example.com/folder/random-image.jpg

http://www.example.com/folder/another-image.jpg

I end up at

Code:

http://www.example.com/folder/new-folder/random-image.jpg

http://www.example.com/folder/new-folder/another-image.jpg

Based on the examples on this page, the rule I have right now is

Code:

RewriteRule ^(.*/wordpress/wp-content/themes/poleexercise/images/moves/)(*.jpg) http://www.poleexercise.co.uk/$1dvd-1-moves/$2 [L,R=301]

I've also tried

Code:

RewriteRule ^.*/wordpress/wp-content/themes/poleexercise/images/moves/(*.jpg) http://www.poleexercise.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/themes/poleexercise/images/moves/dvd-1-moves/$1 [L,R=301]

and quite a few other less probable alternatives too. None of them have worked for me and I can't see what I've done wrong.

Any help much appreciated.

Secure Form to use with credit card...anyone doing this?

coosbaytv — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:16:28 GMT

I have a client that has a Reservation form on their site that is starting to get used fairly well. It states that is in NOT secure but people are using it anyway.
We need to redo this with a secure manner that can state that it is secure and have it be so.

Anyone have any pointers in how they are doing this?

Again, it needs to be a form in the page that takes some info including a credit card for processing.

thanks

Server Side Scripting Vs. Client Side Question

Jsinop16 — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:06:04 GMT

Hi everyone!

I've had my site up for quite some time now, but I'm still an amateur web developer and I still don't have a full understanding of some things.

I have recently began to notice a lot of repetitive codes on most of my site's pages and I'm wondering if it's more efficient to put these codes on external files and call them in on each page using the

PHP Code:


		
			
include 'file.php' ?>

statement instead of having the same code processed on the Client Side for every individual page.

Since the files are imported using php, that means that they are processed on the Server Side and not the Client Side... correct? So I guess my question is, will too many php includes slow down or overload my server since it's doing more work than the user's computer? Or am I just interpreting the process wrong?

The only reason I ask is because it's a lot easier to change one file or code that is imported from an external file, then having to go to every page and make the same repetitive changes. I'm just curious if I'm exchanging convenience for performance.

Any feedback or help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance! :)
