“and i also lost my editing php files virginity as a result.”

lol woohoo!

I don’t think there is a ‘per-post’ way to place images… the only way I can think of is to assign images pre-defined classes and style those classes with css.

But even then, might only be able to limit the styling to float left/right/none (and clearing), and adjusting padding/margins.

Don’t think you’d be able to, for example, have text wrap around an image on both sides…

The image’s position in terms of the point in text where it will display, is determined by it’s position in the markup (i.e. location in the post).

That’s just my initial feeling… maybe I’m wrong.

If you get time, perhaps you could leave some quick instructions/links explaining how you installed the PCRE extensions, so that other people in your situation can use this resource.

Cheers blepoxp, I will check out your suggested link. I don’t really want to go with email posts because this will be a site for which posting will be open to the public, and I want to make it as simple as possible for them.

Thanks again,

Thanks Obsevadora, Otto and Whooami for your insights (be they somewhat heated :P)!

I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled firefox 2 to go with the custom install required (? i believe) to install the DI. I love that with ff2 the profile is not uninstalled! No more restoring add-ons and bookmarks.

I’ve tried out the DI and at first glance it does seem more cumbersome to me, but I guess I’ll have to give it some more time and delve a little deeper ??

I believe you’ll find the answer here in your css:

textarea {

	font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica;

	font-size: 1.1em;

	border: 1px solid #888;

	padding: 2px 5px 1px 5px;

	width: 600px !important;

	width: 250px;

	min-width: 100px !important;

	max-width: 450px !important;

	height: 100px;

	}

Try bumping your max-width down a bit. (backup your css first).

I don’t know what context this form is in, but you should also validate your xhtml and css: https://validator.w3.org/

Looks good in IE7/win, but you still have a couple minor probs with your stylesheet:

border: 0px solid #cccccc;

should read:

border: none;, and there is a { before that, that shouldn’t be there.

and font-weight: none;

should read:

font-weight: normal;

Validate your css to see what line numbers I talk about.. https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css21&warning=0&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fthatnight.net%2F%3Fpage_id%3D203

But anyway, seems to all look identical in IE7/win and FF2.0.0.2/win.

Looks good.

You could also use:

a[href^="https://"] { }
a[href^="https://"]:visited { }

and
a[href^="https://"]:hover { }

which I believe are unsupported by pre-ie7/win.

These css rules will style absolute links.

Solved my own problem, there actually is a way to do it with the web developer extension…

If you select ‘outline current element’ from the outline menu, a panel comes up that indicates the name of the element being hovered over, and names of all parent elements.

Don’t know too much about it, so this may not be a great deal of help, but check this: https://au3.php.net/pcre

Maybe problem with the php installation.. reinstall?

https://php.net/downloads.php

Perhaps run some searches on whether the extensions can be installed manually to complete your installation.

I’m sorry I’m not of more help, but I guess this has bumped you at the very least.

Only problem I found on ie7/win is your offsite link background image has positioning problems (can’t see it sometimes, cut off other times).

Looks pretty good

Oh yes, sorry I must have got sidetracked in my quest for the answer ??

sorry

Maybe check this thread: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/101253?replies=2

You’re welcome.

In my previous post I actually meant to write:

If you do not even get an excerpt on the archives page, then you can add this in: <?php the_content(); ?> at whichever point in the template that you want the post content to appear.

That’s a handy tip, thanks.
