Not everyone has Flash player installed. The numbers are going to be increasingly small these days, but there may still be some out there that don't have it. You'd need to test without Flash installed to see if it throws up any error messages etc.

The headline's misleading - it wasn't jaywalking, it was a livestock on public road infringement.

The only reason I'd get IE7 would be to test new sites I'm working on but if SP2 is a requirement, that's gonna be a pain in the *bottom*.

I think you'll need javascript to accomplish something like that.

Nice is in France, not Italy.

I'm sorry, what's the question?

Why would you bother with a new version of Netscape when Firefox is available? They're both built on the Gecko engine but Firefox has obviously streaked ahead in development.

Yeah, that's right: if you want your flash movie to display at a size larger than what you created, you need to specify pixels otherwise 100% will just display it at its normal size.

I think what you mean to say is that the borders of the tables don't line up properly. Your header looks like 1 or 2 pixels further right than the lower tables and navigation is a few more pixels further down than 'Welcome....'

I'd actually take Fireworks over all the programs mentioned so far for building website templates. As for your design, it looks like the basics are there but could do with a bit of livening up, maybe with some background images or something. It's looking a bit bland at the moment.

I would say it probably is the browser. 1000 is a lot of rows. I've been doing some testing of a site I'm redesigning and the more rows in a table, the longer it takes to load. The same with another page without lots of dropdown menus with many options - the frame of the page loads quickly but the whole thing has to wait while each of the options is printed out.

If that's the site in question, I had a look at it in Firefox and didn't see any ugly white gaps (pretty hard to see white gaps against a white background anyway).

While blanket generalisations like that sound right, in reality, they just don't work. Until you know every single person's situation, you simply can't make a statement like that. You try telling the girl who was raped as a child, had a kid and turned to prostitution to support herself and the kid that there's no reason for her to be like that. Or the boy who was physically abused every day and grew up surrounded by violence so that all he knows is violence. I mean, if all he sees every day is people being beaten up, how's he to know any different?

It's not actually - it's an urban myth. I've actually seen a site that gives a scientific reason for discounting it, but I can't find it now.

I'm probably more anal about spelling & grammar than most because I used to be a subeditor, but I've come to accept any standard of literacy when it comes to message boards. Not everyone is educated to the same level, dislexyia, being more right-brained or left-brained, English as a 2nd language - these all variables that can affect a person's spelling. I don't agree with the negative rep thing either - as long as a post's meaning is clear, I don't think it's that important what the spelling or grammar is like. It's not like you're running an educational instituation here. Some people will find it hard enough to find things to say let alone crossing all the 'T's and dotting all the 'I's.

I wouldn't agree with that - the big versions of your images actually took quite a while to load up properly for me. But other than that, good looking site - nice design, good navigation.

I do most of my listening to music at work so it's definitely headphones there and it's usually headphones at home too cos I'm listening to music on the PC while the TV's on in the other room. But there's nothing quite like cranking up the stereo (speakers) while you're doing the housework.

Yeah you might have to specify a height or maybe try setting the CSS properties of your frames to overflow:hidden. Not sure how CSS goes with frames because I never use frames.

Well it looks like it all works properly. Nice job. Just one small thing though: this is how you spell congratulations.

I disagree - I reckon this has all the hallmarks of being part of a much bigger operation. There's been insinuations that the reason why the Federal Police have been so unhelpful over the whole thing is that there's maybe Federal cops who are trying to prevent their involvement in assisting organised crime from coming to light.

I doubt that's really gonna make much positive difference to how Western European countries view the EU.

Touch?!

If you're talking about consecutive numbers, you could use a loop. <?php$j = 0;for ($i=1; $i<=10; $i++){$j = $j + $i;}echo $j;?>or <?php$j = 0;for ($i=11; $i<=20; $i++){$j = $j + $i;}echo $j;?>

Freelancers don't always work from home; they'll quite often work in the offices of the company they're doing a job for. And I wouldn't say there's no time limit either. In publishing, there's always a deadline. How flexible that deadline is depends on the how big a reputation the freelancer has usually.

Dunno about the lines running through it - makes it look like you've done a poor job optimising your image. Bit too much dead space too.
