Hey Brian,
You’re probably right as I know the purpose of divs was to replace all the problems that come along with using divs – I just found using tables so much simpler to position everything and not have things blow out or not work properly on different browsers, resolutions, and such.
Appreciate your feedback though and will continue honing my skills with divs.

Hey Bret,
I looked at the page and I’m not sure exactly what you are shooting for. Right now the top image and main body doesn’t scale when you shrink it down, so I’m wondering if you are wanting it to shrink based on window size or just have the ability to scroll to the right.
If you want it to shrink you should be using a percentage based system and if you just want it to scroll then you want to center everything but set the width and positioning. I wouldn’t use absolute positioning for the entire body of the page as it’s not necessary and leads to problems.
I tend to lean more towards using css with tables instead of divs because tables tend to be handled more uniformly by all browsers imho.

Hey Steve,
Thanks for your feedback – I appreciate any criticism you can give as sometimes we overlook these things. As Ron said we should have a complete new interface in the next few weeks to a month so we probably won’t be changing much on the current interface as it’s going to disappear real soon. When the new one comes please give us lots of feed back and nit picking =)

Hey Leor,
Wish I knew of one off the top of my head – I’m sure Google can help though because I’m sure it exists – Google “open source shopping cart” or something along those lines. The problem will be the complexity of what you find to download as most people want something more in depth than what you are looking for.
If you don’t plan on building it yourself you will probably need something custom built to fit your specific needs. What you are looking for shouldn’t cost much $200 or less to build I’d imagine.

Hey Leor,
It sounds like a shopping cart to me but if you are wanting to custom build something like this you will need to learn some more advanced web techniques than just common html. I would use php and mysql to accomplish something like this, both have good reference material online to help you get started. php.net is a great resource to learn just about anything with the language.
You will also need a cookie handler or use sessions to store the information as you want the browser to remember information as they continue to browse and make additions or changes to their order.

Websnapr is a nice tool to use to do this with – there is also Artviper which does something a little different but along the same lines. Google either one of those and I’m sure that will head you in the right direction.

Though there is really no way to stop people from stealing images off of the internet if someone wants to – you can do basic things like make it so people can’t right click on images to save the file. There is always a work around like use screen capture or a screen capture program which almost every novice has the ability to use now. If you want to disable image clicking for the sake of your client you can use the javascript found here.

Some sort of server side include is what you should be using – this way you only need to edit the file once and have it changed in every file it appears. What it does is takes another file and embeds it in a another file seamlessly or framelessly. Here’s a quick how to on a basic type, though there are many ways to do it.

Wow! Thanks for the feedback – has been fixed now.
