Maybe it is because you are using relative paths, as opposed to absolute paths.

For example, let's say you have a "contact_us" folder. Rather than linking like so, which is probably what you have now:

, /contact_us or /jdpcompany/contact_us or jdpcompany/contact_us or , /jdpcompany/contact_us

You can reference the above simply as:

/contact_us/ (no dots)

This way, irrespective of where you are, or if you move to another server, the paths remain the same.

Let us know if the issue is as I have described it and if my solution works for you.

Good luck!

Hopefully, it is one of these,

Oga slyrox,

I understand where you are coming from, don't get me wrong. All websites on the net are pretty much vulnerable, when it boils down to it. Having said that, it is up to the web developer/web host to add as many layers of security on top of what may already be there so as to avoid as many loopholes as possible.

I tried your script on 3 joomla sites that I know and it didn't produce the results as posted here. Not to say that it won't work on any other site(s), it didn't work on the ones I tested out.

He he, and I actually thought it had to do with the actual post office. I was looking forward to tracking a package I recently mailed. Oh well.

Leave it there.

1) How many regular users will know to type "/administrator"?
2) Who cares that you are using Joomla? Is it a sin?

Someone like me can tell if you are using Joomla 99% of the time simply by looking at the layout of the page and/or your urls.

OP, if it is still not working:

is it staffNO or staffN0 or staffNo?

Note: the first is capital "O", the 2nd is a zero adn the third is small "o"

1) Request form doesn't work
2) There is huge gap at the bottom of all your pages - Remove the height for #contentb3. Let the page flow naturally
3) Contact us link in footer - broken
4) Content is touching the edge of the container box, to the left. Add at least 10px margin to your P tags
5) Home link at top-right isn't working
6) Remove client email link at top-right. Add it to the footer
7) Indent your code (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc)
8 ) there is an empty STYLE block in your code. why?
9) No keywords or description or other meta tags. How do you expect to be properly spidered?

Good luck!

In the time it takes you to figure out via WYSIWYG, you could have done it from scratch, by hand.

1) Your main nav will consist of UL and LI, with the LI floated left.
2) Your dropdown will consist of regular UL and LI (not floated).
3) You then hide the dropdown, via css (display none)
4) Via javascript, when you hover over an LI from #1 above, you change display from #3 above from "none" to "block".
5) Consequently, when you mouse out, you do the vice versa of #4 above

Sure, you can go ahead and use your WYSIWYG, it's your call. In the long run though, it is imperative you know how to do stuff by hand, as "difficult" as it might be, for your own code and marketability in the market.

good luck!

Learn to use a combo of intra-links and "back to top" links on your FAQ page. This way, visitors to the site know upfront how many questions you are addressing. This is better than (potentially) scrolling ad infinitum on your site only to be disappointed because their own question hasn't been addressed.

Exactly. You are not specifying a number to search on so you are always getting the first number in your table.

Try something like:
SELECT * FROM staffs WHERE s_no = $_POST['staffs'];

ITKs, please note:
The code above is for demonstrative purposes, based on OP's code, only. In other words, yes, he is supposed to have assigned the post value to a variable and using "die()" is usually a bad practice, from a security point of view. Also, his code doesn't show where he is assigning the results of the query to $row, yet he is using $row. I am just too lazy to type any more than I have typed so far. To that effect, feel free to help out here

If it is displaying the same number always, it means you are not narrowing your search well (as in, with a "WHERE" clause).

Paste your query for us to see please.

Future: Yes. Now: No. Again, just go with the "april fool flow" for now

April fool!!!!

I should have known it when I saw the guy lick his finger and hit his lap. Oh well, google won't full me again next year

As cool as it sounds/looks, I am sorry but you won't get me to lick my finger and rub same finger on my knee. GMotion better start lookking for another way to send mail via motion

As far as files are concerned, I believe the best way to upload your joomla site is as follows (the PDF referenced above should hopefully contain what I am about to explain as well). Note that this may not apply to the latest joomla version (I last did a joomla site 2 years ago):

1) Create an xml file that contains the paths to files, images, js files etc.
2) Create a zip that has the xml file from #1 above, along with all other files (
2) Go to your extensions manager, in the admin interface, upload the zip there.
3) Test out your site in a browser

Good luck!

Afam:

I bet you, an overwhelming majority of those who would benefit from this offer are not part of NL. Or is that specifically the reason you are insisting on just NLers?

All you guys complaining about low price, has it crossed your mind (playing devil's advocate here) that perhaps the OP has no idea that it is low and that you could actually score yourself a point or 2 by suggesting a more reasonable price?" Or is this being communicated privately? For instance, you could explain the different steps that you would take to code this site and why 200K might be too small. Maybe you have done a site similar to this or know someone who has, and you show OP this and mention the price.

Just thinking out loud. . .

At home, I have firefox 4 and there was a huge white gap to the right of the movie preview section, on the home page. At work, I have firefox 3.6 and I don't see any issues.  Considering all my sites are consistent in all firefox versions, I will check it again at home.  It could be things have been fixed in the time I checked at home and at work.

Now that I can see it clearly, the only ssues I have:

1) Personal opinion one: the background is too dark.  Having said that, it shouldn't be misconstrued to mean it takes away from the functionality and overall layout.  I actually like what I see.

2) Get rid of all the "css valid" and "xhtml valid" stuff in the footer. Users don't care. They just want to be able to use your site for the purpose it was intended. In other words, like a car, you shouldn't care about the engineering under the hood (unless you are an enthusiast) but rather that when you insert the key, the car cranks. You could care less about the "v6" sticker on the boot.

yes it was tested in all browsers.

I seriously doubt that

but only work on EI 7 and above because of the scripts used

Bad policy.

Was this site tested in all major browsers?

I will answer so as to prevent unnecessary long postings: No.

Remember: not everyone uses IE and even though a majority uses IE, it behooves you as a developer to make sure that you code your sites to cover all target audiences. This is what is called being a disciplined, professional web developer.

Have you tried youtube?

well well well Grin this is more like the nairaland i know. keep it up folks. its been boring around here for a looong time.

Yep. As michael jackson once sang, "do you remember the time", he he.

"little" episodes like what have just played out in the course of a few threads is needed every now and then to revive this board. What matters most importantly, at least to me, is that at the end of the day, we all learn something.

Oya, time to find "do you remember the time" on youtube

Yes they are.

I first stumbled upon them by way of their marketing video on youtube. After that, I read of their latest work, at the time, on the fly aero website. They are 2 brothers. They have done well for themselves and each new clientele digs them deeper into the "inner circles" of society.

They are where I see myself in a few years - the one stop shop for top class clients in Nigeria

It does look and sound like Black Hat SEO but check this. Headlines are part of the ethical places to put keywords. SO images wouldn't allow and you dont want a tooltip; then you are left with that option. So, i dont think it is unethical.

We will have to agree to disagree on this one then though, I think a way of not showing the tooltip can be achieved via javascript, where you hide tooltip onMouseOver

Now that we have started having a conversation, here is my take on text-indent, at least based on how you are proposing to use it:

I think it smacks of black hat SEO.  That is just my opinion though.  I would rather use the title attribute.  alt attribute, though useful, should be reserved for when the image is loading and for text-based browsers.

Sorry for reading your "jerk" part of the post out of context. I now understand where you were coming from.

slyrox, i respect you but when my reputation is at stake, I am very obsessed with protecting it, especially when what is being peddled is false.

I will stop when they stop

Yeah, I have had a little time to play with, on my hands. It's back to work though so I will do as you say, ignore.

Thanks for hitting my reset button

So, as I said:

Are you required to wipe your backside after you take a dump? No. but would it help prevent craw-craw and foul smell if you did? yes

Again, it's all about consistency and usability. To start with, you can't say for a fact that your pages will forever remain short so why not code for the future?

At the end of the day, you don't have to do anything I say. You asked for a review and I gave it to you. All I am trying to do here is learn and be taught. At the end of the day, if we can be good enough for the outsources to dump china and india in favor of Nigeria, I will be the happiest woman on earth

well, I am not a nigerian publisher but I have seen that on my account. I don't know about the wiring policies for Nigerian accounts but based on personal experience, it usually takes no more than a week for them to send me my check
