I have a website that layouts out some images with a brief description under them as in a product catalogue. I would like to have six images 3 on each of two rows. I have done it with a table in HTML. But I would like to redo the page in strict XHTML and CSS.

Can anyone give me a quick guide as to how to do this or point me to a good tutorial on this (I have not been able to find one)? Im planning to sort it out something like that:

div.clearer {
clear: both;
height: 0px;
}

Ok, I’m not completely disputing the table idea but… this looks more like a list to me. A list of images (and descriptions), a list of products… a sequential list of items one after the other. Why is this tabular data? What is the relationship between rows and columns?
A list can be styled to have 3 columns and 2 (or however many) rows in a similar way to koan’s method… floating the LI’s and setting width:33%. Or you could fix the width of your LI’s (presumably your images are fixed width) and allow the list to flow – showing 3 columns at your optimum resolution/viewport size but perhaps more or less depending on the size of the users viewing device – depending how flexible your layout is. You can’t do this with a table. A list is also easier to markup and output dynamically from a serverside script.

My company paid a developer to make us a flash game. If i open his directory and run the html file locally from my computer, the game runs fine. However, Once I upload them to the server, the loader counts to 100% and then nothing on the screen.

I’ve tried from Dreamweaver, FTP Voyager and Ipswitch. I tried both Binary and ASCII. I tried switching some links in the html file. Nothing has worked.

It’s entirely possible the linking is incorrect, or that the Flash uses class files that aren’t properly linking? Some Flash requires class files, which is a bit burgeonsome but is a trait of ActionScript 2/3.0.

Look through your code, both HTML and ActionScript, for any of this:

file:\\C:\my documents\flash\somefile.swf

Use absolute relative linking, in both the Flash and your files,

/flash/somefile.swf

Not with the CWD syntax:

../flash/somefile.swf

Should work!

This is to track various responses sent by the Apache Server for same page on different scenarios (like 200, 304, 503)

I have a single php file as follows:

——-index.php——————————————————————
<?php
header(‘Cache-Control: no-cache’);
print(‘<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”ISO-8859-1″?>’.”\n”);
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN” “http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd”>
<html xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”>

<head><title>Test</title>
<link type=”text/css” rel=”stylesheet” href=”mycss.css”/>
</head>

<body>
<p>This page contains the header ‘Cache-Control: no-cache’<br/>
<?php echo date(“F j, Y, g:i:s a”); ?><br/>

</body>
</html>
—–end of index.php——————————————————————–

This page has a header “Cache-Control”. If this page is retrieved from the local Cache then 304 may be received. If Origin server sends then may be 200, if Origin server is unable to render then may be 503 received. Whereas it is required to capture these response headers in the same page and display.

What code can be added to include the Status code and Status text to get displayed. I have Apache/v1.3.27 on Linux with PHP 4.4.8
