In reply to: Positioned Elementsnow I’m scared. I’ve had really good luck with it. I wonder what I’m not seeing! 🙁
the site/theme I’m working on now uses sprites: http://testing.moonbootdesign.com/ac/ac_inside_template.php it’s all the #menu code in the css.

In reply to: IE and :hoversok. I can’t say that I understand exactly what fixed it but the container that the span was sitting in had a declared with. the spans are positioned to display on :hover outside of the container via absolute positioning. it appears as though ie was ‘unwilling’ to display the spans outside the container. I removed the width of the container and adding width declarations to it’s contents instead and the spans showed up.
I dunno if that will help anyone but I tried! If I understand it better moving forward, I’ll repost.

In reply to: Positioned Elementsyou can proly do it as two uls without mucking with positioning. you can still slice and dice just like with tables, you’ll just assign the images to the background property of LIs instead of TDs or imagemaps.
you can also do the sprite method. google “shea ala sprites’. there’s an article on ala about it.
that’s a really nice design!

In reply to: Please help. Category Problems.hi phillip. Yes, they were definately in the timelines sub-cat. I checked them 36 times. I eventually gave up and did something different with pages. a much uglier ‘solution’. The weirdest part was that the cat said ‘features’ under the article but the url indicated that WP knew they were timelines.
I really appreciate your reply. This forum is amazing but sometimes it’s a lonely place to have a problem.
I often wonder if I’m just typing like an asshole or something? 😉

In reply to: Good UK WP Host?Interesting stuff, thanks everyone. I wonder then about hosting a mydomain.com and a mydomain.co.uk with one mirroring the other for googlability. Is that cheating? Would it even work?

In reply to: Good UK WP Host?Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I use dreamhost myself (and love it) but the site I just built is for a british audience. At one point in time conventional wisdom was, generally, the closer you are to the site, the faster it will be. Is that no longer the case?

In reply to: I moved it. I broke it.angus, took me a while to try it but I just did and it works well. every uri has index.php in it but that’s better than pageid=9 or whatever. thanks a lot.

In reply to: Blix Border & Backgroundif you use firefox (you DO use firefox, right?) you can download the web developer tool bar @ http://chrispederick.com/work/firefox/webdeveloper/download/. It has many great features but one of the best while you’re learning css is it will allow you to hover over any page element (like the white border, or a link) and it will show you the css tree in the status bar. it makes navigating 500 line css files a breeze.
I dont know in blix for sure but that’s probably padding on the content div. try setting it to 0.

In reply to: Permalinks messI just went through something similar. are you guys sure your servers support mod_rewrite? Mine doesn’t and that was the problem. This site: http://www.webmasterstop.com/125.html has a simple way to test. scroll down to ‘shared users’, about 1/2 way down.
good luck.

In reply to: changing domain and…I just did this and followed the codex by the letter and had problems. There are actually two different sets of instructions on the codex, mostly similar but a little different. I’m sorry, I dont remember which one got me closer – I think it’s the one that was linked under ‘wp back up week’. it’s got inline images with numbers.
Anyway, the main problem I had was the version of sql on the new server was older and kept running into problems importing the database on the new server because of character encoding lines. Changing the export compatability options to an older version of sql stripped it of those lines and all was swell. If that doesn’t make sense now, dont worry. it will when you’re on the export screen. just follow the codex and if doesn’t work, try it again, changing the compatability to an older version of sql.
