First off, I now the sites wack in FX, I’m gonna work on it.

Secondly, in IE the menu on the left disappears when I hover over a link in the body such as "Buy Here", but not in the gray footer section below. Any ideas?

Thirdly, anything quick off the top of your head, or a link to copyright, reserved, trademarks; all that type of shit, would be awesome. I’m just trying not to get sued.

And if you feel so inclined, note anything that you’d change. Feedback is godly.

Thanks guys!

edit: I’ll post css if you need it.

haha, shit my bad.

Your edit2: link

doesnt work.

Edit: the one that is your full name

Shouldn’t the items go to the right of the navi bar instead of below it?

Haven’t coded for FX yet. That is what your using right?

still messed up at 12:21 est…

should be a simple

<div style="float:left; width:20%;">
        Navigation information goes here
    </div>
    
    <div style="float:right; width:75%;">
        CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT 
    </div>

Might have to play around with it, but that should just about do it.

and if you use php and $_GET variables, you’d also have much easier of a time.

Shit, for $20 bucks i’ll make the page.

Your lasts two posts are spot on. I did end up using float and width declarations. And I’m thinking of putting the nav section into a php include and just calling that in each page. Is that what $_GET is?

Yeah, you’ll be including the page based off which $_GET variable is being set.

However, people can get really creative with that implementation, so the best thing to do is create an array of all your pages, then check to see if the GET variable is in the array. Purely for security purposes.

$vars = array('page1', 'page2', 'page3');
if (in_array($_GET['var'], $vars) {
  include($_GET['var'].".php");
}

$vars = array('page1', 'page2', 'page3');
if (in_array($_GET['var'], $vars) {
  include($_GET['var'].".php");
}

I don’t know that much php yet, but that looks like it would make sense. It’s just like pointing the browsers "finger" at which file to include out of the $vars array, right?

PHP has a built-in filter_input() function that is useful.

There’s a third party class called Inspekt that actually destroys all of the superglobal arrays for security purposes. Sanitized values are stored in what it calls a "cage," but raw input data can also be accessed through a public method as well.

I don’t need that much security. But thanks. Should be useful further on down the road.

Anybody care to answer another question about php includes?

shoot

It’s long and multi-tiered, haha:

How do you start out a php file (nav.inc.php5) that will be the navigation for a site?

Something like this?:

"nav.inc.php5"
<?php

$page
('
<html>
<head>
<title>
<link rel ... ... ... />
</head>

<body>
    <div>
        more divs and navigation links and such
    </div>
</body>
</html>
')

?>

I’d rather not create individual pages for several includes that I’m planning to use though. So… Is it possible to just put code without any tags besides <divs> and tags inside those in an include file?

Like this:

"nav.inc.php5"
<?php
//Site Navigation

<div id="nav">
    <ul class="navList">
        <li>...</li>
        <li>...</li>
        <li>...</li>
    </ul>
</div>

?>

And then just:

<?php @include ('nav.inc.php5') ?>

where I wan’t the nav?

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate this.
