I don't know any websites. I've just been using this book I got from the library: PHP and MySQL Web Development. Easy to understand, and gets you up and running pretty quickly. Thing is, you have to have a webserver that supports PHP. I'm not sure that Comcast's free webspace does.

That xampp looks cool. Thanks. Still, even w/ that, if Comcast doesn't support PHP and he doesn't find (buy) some space that does, there's not much point.

Well, our cable & internet at home is through comcast but I don't know if that's still under the "free" catagory or not. after digging around comcast's site I can't find anything about it. Short of emailing or calling tech support, how can i know if it alows it or not?

i cant realy imagine, that anybody would offer webspace nowadays without allowing PHP but your best bet is to ask wether they allow PHP and wether you have access to a mysql DB otherwise just get yourself a bit of websace, its not as expencive as it used to be

To find out if your webhost supports PHP, create a file called phpinfo.php and copy-paste the following into it:

Code Sample

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Upload to your webspace and navigate to it. If you see an interface with a lot of configuration information on it, it works.

Besides the official PHP documentation, anyone interested in learning can go here: http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp Personally I found the official documentation to be overwhelming when I was first starting. With practice it's not hard to become a pretty good PHP programmer; the language was invented with the goal of being easy to learn.

Now, as for your web site in it's current state:
1. Move your DOCTYPE to the very top of the file. It's not allowed to be inside the <html></html>.
2. Ideally you should always use double quotes around attribute values.
3. On line 26, you are missing a "w".
4. Some of the attributes on <body> are not valid. Although they work in Internet Explorer, they don't work in Firefox (and probably most other browsers too). The following CSS will achieve a 100px top margin in all browsers:

Code Sample

body { margin-top: 100px }

While you're at it, get rid of SPACING, marginheight, marginwidth, and leftmargin. The first three do absolutely nothing at all, and the last one is irrelevant because you are centering your content.

There are a lot of other CSS things that can be done, which I highly recommend. Let me know in this topic if you're interested in doing a little bit more. Also let us know if PHP works or not, and we can help you with that too.

Well the phpinfo thing just prompted me to download the file. So I guess that means no. Yeah, scooter, as I said this is my first time useing CSS and so far I love it. So on yalls advice I reworked a number of areas so tell me what you think.

I don't use firefox, I tried it once, didn't care for it. I use Slimbrowser. anyway, I understand what you mean about the border for higher res, I see what I can come up with. About the link, what if I just removed "art". just left the links, info, 2d and 3d. Do you think that'd work? I know how to do hover with text in CSS but this is all images, and really it's one image at that. so I don't if I can do anything with that. I'd rather not use any javascript.

Here's another tidbit for you.

Code Sample

body { margin-top: 100px; background-color: #c6b89a }

In addition to my previous recommendation regarding quotation marks around your attributes, I also highly recommend writing elements using lowercase letters only.

Here's an article on image rollovers using pure CSS, no Javascript: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/sprites/

even if you dont usualy use FF, i would recomend you use FF with the plugins i mentioned to build your websites, it will make it much easyer, once you get used to it. more little CSS tipps and tricks, amongst other imageroleovers and dropdown menues http://bonrouge.com/br.php?page=home
