HTML - [paid] Completely Stupid

Hello all, I just joined the forums and am not very experienced in HTML at all but have a question that I hope you guys can help me with. So here it goes.

I have a site called doodletype.com and when I am working on it I would like that domain and all of its directories to be redirected to one page which would be a page that tells people coming to the site that it is under construction. I've seen this done on many other pages but I can't seem to find out how to do it properly. I can get the URL to redirect correctly when all the user types in is doodletype.com but when the user types in something like doodletype.com/Directory it redirects this URL to a URL like this newsite.com/index.html/Directory. So it appends the /Directory to the end of the redirect URL which then creates the wrong URL and a page cannot be found error. Where as I would like to find out some way of ignoring anything the user puts past doodletype.com/ and just always no matter what the user puts past doodletype.com/ redirect to only newsite.com/index.html and not newsite.com/index.html/Directory.

Any help would be great and thanks for your time.

I have been working on a site, and I have recently changed over the menus from JavaScript to CSS, the problem is, the site looks completely different when I view it in Firefox as oppose to IE, the menus hide under pictures, extra white space and the bullets are visible.
I have attached 2 images of how the site looks in IE as oppose to Firefox
Thanks

I finished building my roll-out menus for firefox, but they're not working in IE. Moreover they get stacked on top of eachother instead of next to eachother.

Can anyone help me how to solve it? Here's the related CSS:

Code:

/* Drop-down menu */
.nav2 {}
.nav2 ul {
	list-style-type:none;
}
.nav2 ul li {
	float:left;
	position:relative; 
	z-index:auto !important /*Non-IE6*/; 
	z-index:1000 /*IE6*/;
 	background: #C7D0D7; /*url(images/css/css_cat_light.jpg) repeat-x;*/
	left:-20;
}
.nav2 ul li a {
	float:none !important /*Non-IE6*/; 
	float:left /*IE-6*/; 
	display:block; 
	height:28px; 
	width:90px;
	line-height:28px; 
	padding:0 20px 0 20px;
	text-decoration:none; 
	font-weight:bold; 
	color: #006699;
}
.nav2 ul li ul {
	display:none; 
	border:none;
}

/* Non-IE6 hovering */
.nav2 ul li:hover a {
	text-decoration: none;
}
.nav2 ul li:hover ul {
	display:block; 
	position:absolute; 
	z-index:999; 
	top:3.0em-6; 
	left:-20;
}
.nav2 ul li:hover ul li a {
	display:block; 
	width:88px; 
	height:auto; 
	line-height:1em; 
	/*margin-left:50px;*/ 
	padding:2px 20px 2px 20px; 
	border-left:solid 1px rgb(175,175,175); 
	border-right:solid 1px rgb(175,175,175); 
	border-bottom: solid 1px rgb(175,175,175);
	background-color:#EFEFEF; 
	font-weight:normal; 
	color:rgb(50,50,50);
}
.nav2 ul li:hover ul li a:hover {
	background-color:#FFFFFF;
}
.nav2 ul li a:hover {
	/*background: #DFDFEF;*/ /*#006699;*/ /*url(images/css/css_cat.jpg) repeat-x; */
	/*color:#DEEEF3;*/
}

.nav2 table {position:absolute; top:0; left:0; border-collapse:collapse;}
.nav2 ul li a:hover ul {display:block; position:absolute; z-index:999; top:3.1em; t\op:3.0em; left:0; marg\in-top:0.1em;}
.nav2 ul li a:hover ul li a {display:block; height:1px; line-height:1.3em; padding:4px 16px 4px 16px; border-left:solid 1px rgb(175,175,175); border-bottom: solid 1px rgb(175,175,175); background-color:rgb(237,237,237); font-weight:normal; color:rgb(50,50,50);} /*Color subcells normal mode*/
.nav2 ul li a:hover ul li a:hover {background-color:rgb(210,210,210); text-decoration:none;} /*Color subcells hovering mode*/

Thanks!

Like a lot of people I've been trying to get to grips with some basic HTML for my myspace page. Flame all you want but a lot of people have them, and they help feed our social insecurites and secret desires to be universally loved and made famous and popular and prom queen etc.

My problem is that an embeded flash object from www.last.fm (a "quilt") only partially loads)

Here's the code for the object:

div.lastfm_quilt a:hover {

Now I know for a fact there's nothing wrong with that code by itself: I've saved it as .htm in notepad and it functions perfectly. I've also copied all code down to the <!-- NETWORK INFORMATION : BEGIN --> line to notepad and saved that. That too works perfectly. So something is going on in between that heading and where the code for comments starts (I'm guessing).
Here's a link to that code: Network Information
and here's a link to the entire page source: Entire Page
Both are .txts

I would really appreciate any help offered. I know it seems like a lot of effort to go to for a myspace profile, and even more effort for you guys to try and find the problem, but this is simply pissing me off.

Can we port a flex application completely to HTML5?

Thanks,
Simi.

I need some serious help, I have no idea what to check:

www.enviral-design.com

go to th galleries page, and see what I mean.

However, on IE or Firefox the gallery page loads all stretched, and as soon as you click on any thumbnails or spry accordion tabs the page just explodes!!

I've replaced the css for the accordion spry panels with deault DW css, no luck. same with the .js file that the accordions use, also no luck....


I have no idea what to do, or where to start....

anyone got any idea why it don't work in firefox?

OK, have made websites before, but NEVER used frames .

The website looks and works great in the "Preview in Browser" view. It has 3 frames. A header (top), navigation (left) and content (right). The navigation properly shows content on the right content side.

My problem is this:
When uploaded, the page (index2.html) is only showing ONE of the three frames (it varies which one shows, but typically the header), and it changes the name of the page in the browswer to header.html (or whichever frame it chooses to show).

How do I fix this to where ALL THREE frames show at once?

Sorry for the stupid question--the part I thought would be the simplest has turned out to be the biggest pain in the butt! I've juggled code and tried using Inline Frames--same problem. This has been going on for three days now! SO FRUSTRATING! Clearly, it's just a mental block and I am probably missing something really simple.

If someone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks,

Melanie

I see this in other pages
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

What is it and do I need it in mine?

Hi.

I was wondering if there were any generous souls in this forum that could help me out? I am new to HTML (et al) and am trying to test something here at work. I need to try and identify all the tags\attributes that might contain a URL (absolute path - Eg. http://mycompany.com ...). I am aware that links in HTML contain an href attribute. So I think I am all set there. However, there are other attributes that I might not be aware of. For example, an external javascript file etc. I believe that CSS, XML (et al ???) might also contain absolute URLs. I am just not sure if that's true or not. Would anybody be able to come up with a list of of languages and tags\attributes that might contain a URL. Or point me to a source that would have a consise list (versus having me spend a week researching all the possibilities). Thanks in advance. Sorry if this is a major PITA.

Hello,

I am facing a weird problem in IE which is not happening with other browsers. Open the following website:

http://www.clinicasdefertilidadenlima.pe/

You will see 3 combo boxes on this page displaying "Lima". Click on any combo and select any other value like Lima or Arequipa. Page will refresh but now combo will not show selected value which should always be "Lima" (I have hard coded it)

If you take a look at the HTML source then it's a simple combo box and I have even defined selected="selected" for "Lima" value but in IE it only displays selected value when you open home page. After that it doesn't show value when you select value from combo box.

I am using IE9.

Here is the combo box I am talking about:

HTML Code:

<select id="city_id" name="city_id" class="f2_city" onchange="redirect(this.form)">
<option value="" selected="selected">LIMA</option>

<option value="LIMA">LIMA</option>
<option value="Arequipa">Arequipa</option>
</select>

Thanks
