Every template works differently.

sounds like you have the general flow correct.
if you are sending sensitive info like creditcard numbers, I think you have to establish a secure connection before showing the form, or else the form will be posted insecurely. (i think)
usually the payment vendor sends the confirmation email, but if not, then php’s mail() should do it.
most payment vendors will redirect the user back post-payment with some form variable that indicate if they canceled or not. then usually the payment vendor will send a second post to a page on your site once the payment confirms. the second post doesn’t follow the user, but should include post vars indicating which user and how much they paid.

the above posts answer the question appropriately, but thought I would add the jQuery solution for the more advanced readers.
$(‘#boxDivID’).mouseover(function() {
$(this).css({backgroundColor:’#123′,cursor:’pointer’});
});

one idea: try making breadcrumbs a history of user path.
automate how the display figures out what the breadcrumbs are,
and logically seperate the process from administrative categorization.ie, the articles still have categories, but the breadcrumbs aren’t a strict representation of their categories.
the idea of a “breadcrumb” is a user invention, and should be built to serve the user.
Categorization, from the administrative perspective, is a way to provide links between sections. think of them more as tags or threads of content, rather than strictly defined boundaries or sets.
I think the breadcrumb logic you are looking for is something like: breadcrumbs represent user path if they have a session, otherwise pick one of the ones that an admin chose.

CGArts has a magazine, but it’s seems like mostly advertisements.
IdN does a good job.
Create has done a few issues on motion.
Seems like most magazines focus on print design.

Best thing to do is use a mail service like YesMail or Constant Contact.
Throttling and scheduling email delivery is a server-side task. Usually done with cron jobs, but can be accomplished in most any server-side scripting language (php, etc).

Dreamweaver tries to be the software “that might offer standards compliance, access to the underlying code and technologies, and scope for growth”
Also, Fireworks offers a lot of tools just for print designers to make the transition to web.

Fireworks would be a way to start learning about Dreamweaver, but you would need both to do anything significant.
& remember to read your w3schools 😉

iWeb is made specifically for beginners.
I would also like to offer a huge shout-out for w3schools.com
They offer a really simple & step by step introduction to basic web technologies. While you dont need it to use a program like iWeb, spending a little time to understand the technology underneath will go a long way towards helping you feel less trapped by the limits of whatever software you use.

hey there, thinking about this a bit.
it’s pretty unlikely that someone can remotely write a script for you to drop into the default.php.
Maybe someone has that kind of line by line memory of that particular view file of that particular component.seems like the best way to go about it would be:
if the “edit buttons” are turned on in the joomla interface and assigned to one of the module positions, then the HTML should be sent to the template. from your description it sounds like it’s more a matter of the template not displaying the feature your looking for, than the component view not spitting it out.
if indeed that is the case, then you would need to:
1) use firebug or some such rendered html crawler to find the edit buttons and sniff out the css that is making them hidden.2) use some javascript framework (or carefully placed <style> tag) to set the display of the portion of the page where where the edit buttons exist.
in jQuery it would be something like:
$(‘#editButtonDivName’).show();| Jameson Wallace

Linking, redirecting, and lots of other functionality is built into the Quicktime specification, but no friendly user interface was ever built for it.
+ the only ways I know of, is to use Quicktime’s flash integration to create an SWF wrapper for your movie that loads the home page when it’s finished playing, or
+ create a SMIL file for your Quicktime movie.
both of those are fairly old, and not possible through iWeb. Someone else may know of a newer/better route.
