That's a poor example. The Iraq conflict's not about religion, it's about money and power as are the majority of conflicts these days. Hundreds of years ago, it was a different story. The Crusades most definitely were about religion. To describe them as anything else is foolish. The atrocities committed by both sides centuries ago engendered resentments that still exist today in the attitudes of the Middle East towards the Western world.

Sounds like you're talking about a form that submits to itself. Basically, the values will be captured by using the $_POST['formElementName'] and then you check to see if the form has been submitted already with if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST"). If it hasn't been submitted yet, you display the form, if it has you display something else.

It's in the CSS. Looks like it only works for Firefox though. Not sure why it doesn't affect other images on the page though. html>img /* autoscroll override for Firefox */{ width: 0!important; height: 28px!important; padding-left: 28px!important; background: url(/images/icons/autoscroll2.png);}

Outlook's gotta be just about the least secure email client there is.

You don't need different code for different browsers. You just need to get the right code that works for all browsers.

Embed became deprecated with HTML 4.01.

No, CSS has the same attributes for all browsers. It's how much different browsers adhere to the letter of the W3C standards that affects how your sites display. And to answer your question, yes XHTML does display correctly in all browsers if you code correctly.

Stats indicate that Opera is used by more people than Netscape (and as pointed out, that's only the ones actually identifying as Opera and not another browser).

The point comes if you're trying to make your site viewable to as many people using as many devices (not just browsers) on as many operating systems as possible while at the same time taking into account people's disabilities (mobility, sight etc.).

You give your navigation links their own class, eg: <a class="navlinks" href="tutorials.html">Tutorials</a>/*CSS*/a.navlinks { color: whatever; font-weight: bold; }

DOM Tooltip might be what you're after.

Mosaic had two versions of its browser out before Internet Explorer version 1 - browser timelines.

How about a link to the official site instead of one that doesn't even have a download link? Official Firefox site

First site I made was in about '97 and was a personal site featuring music & film reviews and stories about my travels cos I was living in London at the time and visiting lots of different places.

The font tag actually became deprecated with HTML 4.0, so it's not just XHTML that it's no longer valid for. I design all my pages with XHTML 1.0 Strict cos I like the rigour that it imposes on the code you create.

Yeah Web Developer's an invaluable tool. Probably it's best feature is being able to edit CSS right inside your browser and being able to see the changes you've made take effect instantly.

I'd echo that. Get yourself a text editor with added capabilities like advanced search and replace and different coloured code highlighting and you'll be fine.

XHTML 1.1 must be served with the XML prologue (<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>). With this prolog, pages must be served with the application/xml+xhtml MIME type (that's the meta http-equiv="Content-Type"...). Unfortunately, IE (and that's going to include IE7 too) doesn't support serving pages with this MIME type. For IE, you have to use text/html. So for that reason, it's advisable to serve your pages as XHTML 1.0 which doesn't require the XML prologue. Either that or use a browser sniffing script to serve up different MIME/DOCTYPES.

For web design I use a combination of Fireworks, Photoshop & CorelDraw. Although I wouldn't really recommend using CorelDraw - it's just what we have at work and I've kinda got used to it. It still sux though.

Trap17's servers run PHP and PHP includes are enabled (I use them on my site). So, if you want to use includes, create your pages in PHP.

Well it's kinda part of the national culture to not big up yourself too much (we have Tall Poppy Syndrome which sees people who some perceive to have become too successful being criticised for their success), but really, you'd be living in a fantasy land to believe that after 32 years in the wilderness from the elite, that we're suddenly gonna march all the way to the final. Having said that, there probably weren't too many who thought Greece would win the last Euro championships either.

I don't think the font goes with the techy kinda background.

Can you save your changes to session variables which are then passed on to the next page?

You can't achieve this sort of thing without some sort of scripting whether it be PHP, ASP or javascript (not as straightforward in JS anyway I think). Your form will be output to the browser as HTML, but you can use a script to construct that HTML and fill in the values. So, taking the previous example, the link to the form is link.php?id=X&somevalue=Y&someothervalue=Z. Using PHP, you'd do something like this: <?php print '<input type="text" name"field1" id="field1" value="'.$_GET('somevalue').'" />print '<input type="text" name"field2" id="field2" value="'.$_GET('someothervalue').'" /> ?>

It sounds like you're talking about using the querystring to pass variables to your form. So your link would be something like link.php?id=X&somevalue=Y&someothervalue=Z. Then you use $_GET or $_REQUEST to access the variables and then print them to your form.
