You know what would be even better to help, if all browsers just displayed everything the same.  Life is such a competion these days. 

That's what the standards are for: if everyone complies by them, then all sites should look the same. The problem is that you have companies like Microsoft which creates its own standards in an attempt to squeeze others out of the market.

He can ask for a sig, it's just rude to ask for someone to make him a GIFT. There's a difference between the two.

Did it occur to any of you that maybe English isn't pentiumas' first language? And like Dragonfly said, they've come on here and seen 'gift this' and 'gift that' (every 2nd thread is a gift for someone ) and maybe they think 'gift' is some sort of Internet slang for signature. Give the guy/girl a break. The only ones coming off as rude are the ones jumping down his/her throat.

Does that make you feel good about yourself when you cut down someone else?

No, but I see a lot of people on this forum passing themselves off as web designers when they clearly aren't and as someone who has spent a number of years working in various roles for web-related companies, I feel compelled to point out that you're not a web designer just cos you've made a couple of sites - you've got to earn your stripes.

Just a couple of points to make about some of your code:

You don't need to specify px (or anything else) if you're using a 0 value, e.g., margin: 0.

#Wrapper{

  margin:0px auto 0px auto;

    }

   

#Content{

padding:10px 0px 0px 0px;

}

 

You also don't need to specify the bottom and left properties of something if they're the same as top and right because B & L automatically inherit those properties. So instead of margin:0px auto 0px auto you can just type margin: 0 auto. In the case of padding:10px 0px 0px 0px, you'd type padding:10px 0 0: the L property takes its value from 0 specified for R, but because you want B to be 0 instead of 10, you have to specify that too.

Keep in mind that the order of properties goes clockwise: top, right, bottom and left.

You can't resize the background image, it'll only display at its full size, but you can serve up different images based on the browser size.

The last I knew 98% of people were using Internet Explorer, so as a web designer, I really only had to worry about Internet Explorer displaying my website correctly.

You're clearly not really a web designer if you hate to clutter up my machine with another browser and don't know that the reason your sites look OK in IE and not in FF is cos IE is a non-standards-compliant browser whereas FF and Opera and Mozilla are.

If you're a web designer, you should have as many browsers as possible installed so that you can test your site in all of them. Anything else is just not doing your job properly.

And you should be using FF as your primary testing browser, not IE, because, as I said above, IE is not standards compliant. IE7 may be (no-one's really sure yet), but IE6 and earlier definitely aren't.

As to the original question:

1. Themes

2. Extensions

3. Tabbed browsing

 

2. is the most important one cos there's so many different extensions that it just puts FF in a different realm from IE.

I'm seriously taking a look at the LameEncoder for mp3 apperently it only takes about 128kps to rival with cd quality sound while the windows media codec needs 320kps.

I use RazorLame to encode my MP3s, but I'd seriously doubt that there is any encoder that can get near CD quality audio at 128kbps.

A couple of comments:
1. You don't need <div> tags inside your <li>, well not for single words like you've got anyway.
2. I notice you've moved away from the images you used in your first nav to text links in this one. The thing is, you can do both using image replacement techniques. You can still have your <ul> laid out exactly as it is but use the image replacement technique to hide the text and replace it with a background image that does the same thing. I've implemented this method on my Xisto site.
There are a variety of different image replacement techniques - best to Google them.

Awesome! I forgot I could use style tags in images. Thanks a bunch

 

You don't have to apply your CSS styles inline to images, you can set them in your CSS file, e.g.

 

img { border: 1px solid #000; }

A couple of other things:

type="text/css" is missing from <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; />

You're talking about making your header an image map - that's not the way to go if your aim is to have a semantically marked-up, validated site. You should be making your nav menu items as a list (<ul> or <dd>) instead.

Check out Listmatic for tutorials on how to do it.

Other than that, it looks pretty good.

can someone please tell me how can i use this 2 columns (name and id) so they can type their complete 4 digit id and just part of their name to enter through a login page

Enabling people to just type a part of their name means more scripting to process the form because you're not looking for an exact match. It also means that people will be able to guess login details more easily because the form isn't applying as strict controls. And usually login names are unique which won't be the case if you allow people to enter just part of their name (e.g. if you have 2 people named John).

It should be working now.

Nope - connection refused when accessing that URL.

Before you even start, make sure you get a good lawyer so you can sue anyone who tries to download your music illegally. You'll also need a good publicist to convince everyone that you're still a band 'of the people' while your lawyer's going around kicking heads.

I actually think the original intent of that saying was that the Church not control the State, not the other way around.

and sometimes firefox has a css problem which should be fixxed

99 times out of 100 it won't be FF that has the problem, but rather the web designer not designing to the W3C's specifications properly. FF is already standards-compliant, so it's not something that needs fixing in FF.

To play that game, you would have to be so out of touch with the social statues of the outside world.

Social statue? Is that like someone who's unable to move in social circles cos they're made of stone?

It's also very slow here. I had the same problem in another Invision Board and they found out the problem was the shoutbox. No shoutbox, no problems!

Yeah, I'd rather they did without it. I have mine permanently closed anyway. There's enough header/ads to scroll through before you get to actual content as it is without adding another 100+ pixels to the equation with the shoutbox.

everyone is been having problem last few weeks, the weather most likly is the factor

Are you trying to be funny or do you seriously think the weather has something to do with it?

The closest you're gonna get to perfect systems of government are constitutional monarchies. If you think about countries in Europe that have them, they've been operating under those systems of government for several hundreds of years. Other systems like socialism, Marxism, Communism, Nazism, extreme conservatism etc. have all risen and fallen pretty quickly. The sort of democratic republic system used in places like France & the US have also been around for quite some time but not as long as constitutional monarchies. So if the closest you can get to perfect is a system of government that exists and adapts over several centuries without being toppled by uprisings or whatever, then it has to be a constitutional monarchy.

So for users who have a problem with the tone here and would like more professional (no pun intended) posts and attitude, try Xisto.com

Can we transfer our credits/hosting over to Xisto? Cos from the sound of things, I'd probably be more suited to posting there but I don't really want to have to start again and lose my hosting cos I've already got a site up & running.

This is the most heavily moderated forum I've ever used and to be honest, it's taken me a little while to get used to (I'm more used to open slather type forums where you can say/post anything you like) but I wouldn't say the mods are doing a bad job. If there are too many posts ending up in the wrong forums then that's cos I think there are too many forums/subforums combinations. Seems to me there's quite a few that are unnecessary.

As for html not validating correctly, i dont care much for that, as long as you can see what i want you to see, it's fine by me.

 

Kinda invalidates any tutorials you might provide on HTML/CSS when you can't even get your site to validate properly (so does having Site only compatible with Internet Explorer/FireFox on the bottom of each page as well really).

Other issues:

Your header graphic doesn't match up with the content.

The stripey bar below the header is a different width from everything else as well and doesn't have closing borders right & left.

This error message in your nav:

In the past I've played:pianotimpaniclarinetsaxophoneguitarI still have my guitars (Fender Telecaster and Epiphone acoustic) but don't play them anymore as I devote most of music energies to DJing so now my instruments are 2 x 1210s and an old Numark CD deck setup.

For one thing, I don't have an attitude to match with it.

Are you saying that all people who have tattoos have an attitude? You'd be wrong if you are.
I'm a bit like canpolitics - got a celtic design that goes around my upper left arm. I got mine when I was 28 also after quite a few years of not finding the right design.
My upper arm's not likely to stretch too much (seeing as I've been the same weight since I turned 15, I don't think I'm gonna get that fat as I grow older). The only thing is that it's gonna fade a bit over time which ain't really a problem - just get it recoloured.

Reading the manual/help files is always a good start.

You seem to be using Firefox. I am sorry, but i want all features of my website to be viewed.These features are not supported by Firefox. Please switch over to Internet Explorer, and try again.
If you're worried about security, you have nothing to fear. This website is 100% spyware free. All coding and activex objects were created by me. Besides, i am more worried about you doing damage to my site.Site only compatible with Internet Explorer.

I give you a 0/10 - I'm not even gonna bother with a site that denies me the use of my favourite browser, and don't be thinking that I'm in a minority to think that way.

If I went to a site and it resized my browser window without asking me, I'd leave that site immediately, so in other words, I'd think carefully about implementing something like that.
