Hello All, I don't know much php, or any mySQL, so I'm looking into purchasing a shopping cart system instead of creating my own. The site is being built with plain html, js, and css as of now. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm very lost here. -Lou

I'm sorry to have to use this quote (no offense here), but "cry me a river." Jobs elucidated that the numerous amount of iPhone Apps is proof that mobile sites survive quite well without Flash (with apps and games, etc). And as I've said before, I LOVE FLASH. But he is right. Let banners and...

Couldn't have said it better myself. If I may add, RSS feeds (from other sites) are also incredibly easy to add to a section of your own site. I recall developing iPhone Apps that would just display RSS feeds regarding free drinks and drink-specials in the NYC area. I can't give out the name as...

I thought Jobs made some great points regarding the issue, and I'm a Flash fanatic: http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ I think what he is trying to do is push companies (and their sites) to embrace open standards. I often get asked, "What do they have to lose by allowing Flash?"...

Hello! Welcome to the forums! I bet you'll enjoy it here. Anyway, you'll need a domain + hosting service. I happen to use hostgator.com for both. When I made a thread a while back asking everyone here what their favorite hosting service is, the results were so mixed. I would suggest...

It's almost certainly due to a failure to upload the necessary Javascript files. I bet the SWF files work locally right? Do you happen to be using Dreamweaver? If so, you should try: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlbyUGjjrXc If not, just send me your exact file paths and names of your swf...

I use a PHP form with reCaptcha, but one of my clients (I suppose because she's somewhat famous and gets a lot of traffic according to analytics) still gets a bit of spam here and there. When she asked why this is so, I replied saying that Bill Gates can't even stop his spam. -Lou

I wish Adobe would have thought of such a feature. I suppose we'll have to wait for CS6? They should put the "find rule" button right in the CSS Panel. -Lou

Can you clarify what you mean when you say it doesn't work? If your swf doesn't show up at all on the web, you should try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlbyUGjjrXc If it works on your computer locally, then there is nothing wrong with the swf file itself. It is almost certainly a...

Ok my main question is, how to I get my site to look the way it does in device central? When I preview it on my iPhone, it tries to display the entire site.. how do I get it like other sites where it has a certain width and you can scroll down to see the content, sort of like a newspaper column?

Ok. So far everything looks good in device central. Now how on earth do I get drop-down menus to work? Thanks, -Lou

Hello, How would you going about changing a site so that it displays well on the iPhone? I know all about how it should be designed (very simplistic, no Flash, etc.), but my question is how I should go about this. Should I try to use PHP code to detect a mobile user and then redirect them to...

I would also get rid of the hit counter. Just like tables are somewhat outdated for layout, hit counters are very 90's. Just use google analytics. No need to try to impress a visitor by showing them how many hits your site gets. -Louis

I think it's probably an issue of not uploading the supported javascript files that Dreamweaver generates. Try the following tutorial that I uploaded on youtube a while back: http://www.youtube.com/user/LouTheDesigner Hope this helps, -Lou

So I've been defaulting to Joomla lately for web design. There's just so many clients that "need" their site done in a week (although they usually don't have the content ready). Anyway, I need a joomla extension that can help me do the following for a store: It's basically going to be a...

Well I actually used the same login info that he used for his hosting service, so he managed to just guess it. I didn't even tell him that he needed to type "/administrator" at the end of the URL. That's what I found very strange. -Lou

I find Joomla great for when a client needs to actively update their site. It's also remarkably easy to use if it's explained to you correctly. I had a client who owns a gym. I created the site for his gym with Joomla (didn't even tell him I was using it). Sure enough, two weeks after the site...

I'm going to kindly dismiss your rebuke. You say "it depends on the visitor you expect on your website." My point was, don't cater to them; force them to move on. People and companies who disregard the enginery of modern software are actively hindering the technological enterprise. If a client...

Ennesus, Isn't designing for IE6 a somewhat superfluous task? When I worked in technical support, I would always have to ask the caller what web browser they were using (nobody every knew unless they were using a Mac; one person actually said they were using "Dell"). It was extremely rare that...
