    Paypal donate with contact form?

    Solved it. If you wanted to know, apparently you just need to add text fields to the form that Paypal generates. When the user inputs anything into those fields, that text is also displayed in Paypal's automated e-mails. -Lou

    The Adobe / Apple Debate

    Ok, so I'm sure you've all heard about Apple rejecting Flash on it's iPhone and iPad. Now, I've done a lot of mobile phone development, and I'm very much in support of this, and I think Jobs hit it on the money with his short and informative speech...

    Newbie, needs php help.

    Hi there. Welcome to the forum! You can completely cut out the PHP and just use javascript (very simple): http://www.btinternet.com/~st_rise/main/mainfram.htm?../scripts/search/search1.htm That site is incredibly handy. If you'd like to go the PHP route, and your hosting allows for PHP 5...

    Experiences with bidding on freelance job sites?

    My experience exactly. I can't even begin to tell you how many restaurant sites I did out of word-of-mouth. One site, however, has provided me with some business: www.scriptlance.org I recommend giving that a try. Also, you can offer to do a site for free if you find a gig on...

    website design suggestions

    That suggestion was really interesting. I am MUCH more of a developer than a designer (no sense of artistic talent -- I just use trial and error). But my question was, is there a psychological reason regarding why a green mouse hover state is visually not so good? Do the visitors eyes tend to...

    Website shifts to the right when loading

    I think I was able to see the quick shift because I was downloading a torrent at the time. I'm pretty sure what's causing this, as described in my previous post, is FOUC (Flash of Unstyled Content). Basically, the CSS may not be loading in time. You can read all about FOUC here...

    embed music video

    Do you happen to have Adobe Media Encoder and/or Dreamweaver? That makes everything very easy (bcee is totally right about FLV's). If you don't have that software, you can send the file to me and I'll convert it and generate the code for you. Kind Regards, -Lou

    Clear: both getting funky in Firefox

    I'm patiently waiting for PixelPusher's godly advice regarding CSS. He will most likely get back to you soon (he's a wonderful moderator) -- you came to the right place! -Lou

    Website shifts to the right when loading

    Using a Mac, I replicated the issue on 4 different browsers. It seems as if the browser is not loading the CSS right away. Instead, it's just applying the CSS during loading. What I would recommend is using a quick script that preloads the images before displaying the content, like this one...

    Using Photoshop to start design of site

    I do this ONLY when necessary: for example, when a company has a graphic designer that creates the layout in photoshop. If you want to learn how, I recommend following these 2 tutorials: For slicing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVfxe4pqvo8 For importing into Dreamweaver...

    Flash fitting window size

    Hello, Welcome to the forum!, Before exporting your SWF as a movie, click File > Publish Settings. Click the HTML tab. You will see a list menu titled 'Scale'. Open the list menu and choose 'No Scale'. After publishing, use HTML to set the width and height of your swf to 100%. I hope...

    I'm not sure what kind of hierarchy there is regarding this site's moderators. admins, owners, etc. But PixelPusher has been so responsive I feel a reward is due. -Lou

    Best Shopping Cart System

    I know Joomla pretty well -- made about 6 or 7 sites with it. This site, in particular, shouldn't be created with a CMS since I'm basically slicing up .psd's and exporting them. I don't exactly have the time to mess around the Joomla's CSS to make a template that looks exactly like the photoshop...
