HTML - Master Page (.net) + Equivalent Methodology For Linux Servers

Hi,

This is in the wrong place... but I didn't know where to put it!!! I wanted to put it in the server administration, but that was divided by Unix, Linux, and Windows anyways and I didn't know if I should just choose one or what. I think this can be moved if someone knows where the best place is. Right?

Getting to the point...

I have no idea what the difference is as far as Windows and Linux web hosting servers?

I am using one of Brinkster.com's shared server plans (because they are cheap!). They give an option between Windows and Linux. Which one is better? Which one should I use? Any suggestions?

Thanks!!!

Sorry if this has been posted before, I looked but couldn't find it.

I am having serious problems with something I am trying to create. I am building a site which at the moment consists of 1 Page, namely my index.html page.

I have put a lot of time and effort into the page and it looks fantastic, however, When the site goes live (school website) there will be a LOT of content pages.

My dilema is, say for instance we want to add a new button on or change something on ALL the pages, it would take hours.

I know in PHP you can do the index.php?page=departments....and I am sure I have seen it in HTML before. Therefore creating me a template which I only have to change 1 page and the rest will change automatically.

This would help me SO Much.

Thanks In advance

Hi,

I have a problem creating a Master page in dreamweaver, can anyone help me?

I want to change my web layout and affect the rest of the pages.

Regards

My website is SalvationSource.com. I need somethings, around 15-16 done that I can't do. I have some money to give for this. Here is what I need done.

1. I need the website to auto adjust so it looks great in everyones IE and FF, no matter what resolution they are using.
2. I need it so when I change the index, it changes on ALL pages so I don't have to change it in 20 different pages, which has to do with the php include code, <?php include("index2.php"); ?>. Or maybe jsut have the body change and the header and footer change, kinda like this site, http://www.clubhabbo.net.
3. I need my 5 boxes having their own php file, with the php include code, but if its possible to have the 3 blue boxes information on each box to be included in the php file, and not just the information inside the boxes.
4. I need a "Bookmark This Page" button listed under the Home icon, I need it to be a button like on the left side of, www.danecook.com, since coding won't do it for both IE and FF, so when you click "Bookmark This Page" a box pops up with a button and logo adn such like his site.
5. I need the blue box behind the login boxes is aligned correctly, its always 1px off because of IE and FF my last coders said, but lets see if you can do anything about it.
6. I need the footer blue copyrite box fix at the top of it, its like 1px across the entire footer, theres a darker color cahnge, not sure why.
7. DONE!
8. DONE!
9. The template background is connected with the webpage background, I need that cut/fixed so I can add something on teh sides of the website.
10. I need a few pages made that will be PHP, such as the Statistics, Surveys, and Quizzes pages, and I'll need help with a few other pages such as the Store and Downloads page. For the Statistics and Surveys page, I want them just like the ones on this site. www.salvationsource.com/php.
11. I need the forums, www.salvationsource.com/forums skinned to look like my website, I have no clue how to make the forums look like my site, maybe we can just change the images or something, just needs to look like the website template.
12. I need a chat room like this one, http://chatterbees.homestead.com/chat_lounge_1.html, it doesnt have to be that advanced to where you can password your name so you and only you can use it and such, but it would be nice, I need one that resembles my website and such, I do need it to be able to allow people to PM other people. I guess this would be java and html. They charge like 100 for that chat room, but I'd like it as advanced as I can get it.
13. The login part on the home page, I need it so it will login into the forums and such, I need it to mainly, work. I believe I need a SSL Certificate and such which I am going to switch hosting providers and I get a free SSL Certificate when I do.
14. I need the forums, SSL, mainly everything to be able to be switched to new hosting, like if I needed to reisntall the forums, I can just upload the database file or something and all my categories and forums, and sub forums with all the posts and threads are there. So if you want me to switch hosting providers first before we start, please let me know.
15. I do need a toolbar like the mininova.org, and google.com toolbar, I will make the layout of how it should look in Photoshop, give me a little time. Of course it needs to work with IE and FF.
16. This is one of the last things I need which is the radio player, like this website, http://www.clubhabbo.net. As you can see it has the Windows Media Player player, and above that it says the radio stats. I of course need a better looking radio playe. I will also make it in Photoshop soon. But the main way it will look is like this, http://www.blavish.com/wp-content/up...mp3-player.jpg. And on it, it will list the Radio stats, and the 5 buttons on teh end will each do soemthing. Just give me a little time to make it in photoshop and to give you more detail on what each one does and such. I guess it would be best to be made in 3ds Max, or Maya or something, or made in flash adn imported into a modleing program and rendered 3d. Just the best look you can get, like with the like refecting off it and such, give me alittle time to get the detail.
17. I don't know if I really want this. It depends on if you all want to make it, I would love to have an admin control panel, just like phpnukes, to post news, ban IP's and people, add downloads, etc. Let me know what you think about that, because I know thats ALOT of work and I've already asked for ALOT.
18. I do need the PHP form on the contact us page to be modified, fill it out and as you see it makes you verify the data you entered, I don't want it to verify. I jsut want it to send you to a thank you page and have it email me as it does with the data and their IP and such. I just don't want it to verify.

As you see I did the 2 I can. I have FTP and Cpanel and everything. If you'd like to make a little money then please reply.

Hi,

This is a strange problem. I have a small personal website written in UTF-8, which I have indicated with the Content-Type tag in the head, as you may verify. Nontheless, Firefox (at least, haven't tried any other browser) misinterprets and renders the page in ISO-8859-1, leading to the misrendered characters under item 5 under "Documents". As Firefox's "page info" dialog tells me, the Content-Type tag is recognized but the encoding is still ISO-8859-1.

Viewing the page locally works fine, same with every other server I have tried. Why?

Can this sort of setting be overridden by the server?
