hmm, my "English", as in the Queen's English dictionary has it as localization, but it does also have it as localisation (dep.)  as in depreciated .  Oh well, like I said.  No biggy.

You say colour, I say color, lets just call it a day .  Can't help but say "colour" with a French accent. lol

You did your upgrade live with users logged in? Probably have to clear the cache.

I figured that it would not validate.  I like how IE has the rounded corners. it kind of breaks up the "boxiness"  of the page.  I hope that a similar feature will be added to the next CSS rev. For the time being,  If I want it to look the same and validate, then I will apply a border setting to the FIELDSET.  The way I used to moz specific property will only effect moz browsers. IE ignores the > selector so it remains at its default.  The gecko default is just plain ugly.

Oh well its just one more thing I have to work around. 

Thanks frank.

That?s the general consensus from other developers that I know.  Would you by any chance know of a good resource that explains tried and true methods of posting form data securely?

TIA.

Will this be fixed in future versions?

Is this the line you are talking about?  and should there be a letter p before the opening <?php right after <div id="

<div id="p<?php echo $cur_post['id'] ?>" class="blockpost<?php echo $vtbg ?><?php if (($post_count + $start_from) == 1) echo ' firstpost'; ?>">

Thanks for the help.  Sometimes just getting started is the hard part.

thanks!  Worked like a charm!!!!!  How damn frustrating that was.  My style sheet was getting out of control. lol

Yeah tell me about it.  I was fiddling with a design last night.  I thought I was all set.  It looked great in FF.  Then I looked at it in IE.  This is when I found out that IE does not like/support the min-width or min-height property.  I made a separate Style sheet for IE that sets the width of a block level element i.e. <p> that was inside a div = to the value I set for min-width of the div on my main style sheet.   This is just a matter of preference. I like to keep my bug fixes in a separate file so I can keep track of them.

Thanks again, hopefully someday we wont have to worry too much about fixes or backwards compatibility to browsers that where around when the 386 was the king CPU. I guess it really matters who your target audience is.  If I know that my audience tends to be on the cutting edge of technology.  I won?t even bother to try and support NS4 or IE4. I know people have a lot of beef with how the browser makers follow the WC3 specs.  In their defense, one of my job responsibilities is to read and interoperate specifications for large scale construction projects, and what it all comes down to is how the person using the spec. interoperates it.  This is why I have to submit items to the authors, in this case consulting engineers, for approval.  If I don?t meet the intent of the specification, I have to make the required corrections and resubmit. 

Wouldn?t be nice if browsers had to be reviewed by the WC3 for compliance before they are release to the public.

hahaha hmm that looks vaguely familiar

Yes divs are being used

I have a class called contentBox thats position is relative and has a z-index greater than the nav box.  I use this class for each content box created.  Actually,  a main content box, and a footer box (e.g. like the one at the bottom of the page). like this.

.contentBox {
   position:relative; /* Position is declared "relative" to gain control of stacking order (z-index). */
   width:auto;
   margin: 0 0 20px 170px;
   border:1px solid black;
   background-color:white;
   padding:0px;
   z-index:3;
}

To be completely honest, I got this class from bluerobot.com  I am still new to using CSS for postioning elements.  Only used it in the past for colors and padding.  The way I learn is from example, then reading the specs.  I also have picked up a couple of books in the past couple of days, and I am just scratching the surface.

Your example is what I eventually did.  I was reading into things way to much.  If you know of a better way to achieve this.  I am all ears and eyes .  I really do appreciate all the feedback and help I get from here.  Being that Web Auth/dev is a hobby for me, I can't afford to take any formal education on this subject.  Having a wife and kids adds to the time constraints.  Its a simple two-column layout with navigation boxes on the left and content on the right.  The resources I found on the web helped some, but I wanted to come up with my own "look-and-feel".

Thanks again!
