hello…
ooh – impossible to offer much with the info given…can you expand on what you are asking?

hello…
well – if you use a cms, you’re more likely to work directly in the cms as opposed to doing work in dreamweaver. you might do a custom design in dreamweaver and export the html to the cms, but you’ll have to plug in cms-specific tags to get the actual cms content to appear in your design…
[Pat Hoover] “An issue that I keep running into is that most of the CMS out there seem like they work if you have your own server and host your site there. “
i’m not quite following this one – do you mean a hosted cms? there are some, but there are a lot that you would download and run on your own site – ones like expression engine or drupal…
as for which one you should use – it’s a tough thing to say. people who have used one or another will likely say that one vs. another one. i will say that drupal, while free, is the kitchen sink of cms and you’ll likely find it somewhat overwhelming. expression engine is a nice one but not free. there are others too, but your best is to download any one you can and give it a try if you can to get used to how they work…
hope that helps!

[Crystelle Dalla Betta] “tell me about the divs!”
there are just a ton of ’em to do some very basic layouts, and i can’t quite understand the reasoning behind that (not saying it’s wrong – i would just do it another way, i guess)…
i really wouldn’t blame ie – everybody says ie is at fault anytime there is a problem, but i’ve found over the years that i have just as many headaches trying to get things to work in other browsers as well…

wow. that is an insane amount of divs for what you’re doing there. trying to go through it manually is very challenging…
you seem to have your header div and then 2 divs inside that, and both the header and one inside have the header img as the background. that aside, i think you might be able to do the quick fix by putting an absolute url path for your image in the background attribute for the header as opposed to the relative path…
hope that helps!

ooph – that’s a tough one, because you’d need an admin account to do most fixes that might work… :-/
i can’t recall if lower-level accounts can see all the logs, but you might want to try that and see if anything in there hints at what’s happening. they are a bit cryptic to read, though…

also maybe try booting from the cd and then looking around?

hello…
well – a few things…
1. you’re trying to open a popup window and align it to the lower right of a parent window. this is probably doable but i’m not 100% to be honest – never seen that type of request
2. by making it a popup that you’re triggering on the page, you are probably going to launch the majority of popup blockers and your visitors will never see the video
3. popping up a separate window on load (even if it gets past blockers) is really not a very friendly way to welcome people to your page
you could try to put it in a div on the main page itself as opposed to a separate window popup – here’s a sample of locking a div to the lower part of a page that can be modified to suit your needs…

if you go to the format menu in plain text and say “make plain text” then it will be a non-rtf doc and you should be able to save it as a plain text html file…

hello…
did text edit change the extension of the file to .txt? if so you’ll need to remove that…

[April Hill] “does it actually work? Worth doing?”
yes and yes with the caveat that if you have addresses like info@, webmaster@, sales@, etc. etc. then spammers will just assume those and spam them anyway. but obfuscating emails in sites is a good thing to do. you can do it with javascript or other ways – here’s a great article on it:
