Remember this website? www.brianbarr.co.uk (please add /testsite/relative)
You guys were helping me with it before.
Bearing in mind my still newbieness, can anyone help with the following? I'd
really appreciate it. I know I still need to tidy up my css a bit and
shorten it but I don't want to that until its all right. 11  1706

1) My main problem is,
Nope. Your main problem is that you are using flyspeck sized fonts which are
totally unreadble.

I believe that if you do add the /testsite/relative to the domain name
and manufacture the URL she's really asking about, you'll see she's
moving to a 100%-based format. It's just not working for her yet.
I haven't found the time to address her specific questions, however. :-(
(Seems, at a quick glance, though, to have somewhat over-long styling,
not just because of the verbose comments.)

Please make it easy for people to help you. http://www.brianbarr.co.uk/testsite/relative/
1) My main problem is, why is the secondary menu (in the grey bar - contact
brian barr, home page etc etc) not showing in IE 7?
I think you have a worse problem - setting the content width to a fixed
60em. Maybe it doesn't matter much to those of you who use a small
default font size, but for those of us with large text, it's way too
wide. There's excessive horizontal scrolling. :(
Regarding your other issues, I'm having a hard time weeding through your
CSS. Too many stylesheets, too many over-specified rules. You should
simplify. For example:
#navcontainer
{
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
right: 0px;
float: right;
display: inline;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
background-color: #615D5C;
}
It's a div element, so margin, padding, right all default to 0 anyway.
Your combination of float, display, position and width don't make any
sense to me. What are you really trying to accomplish here?
If you're letting Dreamweaver generate all that CSS, you should stop
that practice now.
BTW, you should set a foreground color to go with that background.

As a matter of practicality, it is actually far easier to start with
the bare minimum, get that working, and gradually build your way back
up to where you want to be.
Trust me on this one - I have the T-shirt!

Ah, is that what that meant? I had no idea that I had to manually change the
URL after I had clicked on it. Why not just direct me to www.brianbarr.co.uk/testsite/relative ?

Ah, it is early and I never guessed this one.
You can't be too careful! I have enemies on all sides, I have
never revealed my street address to anyone, not even family with
the same address. I always let them think I was the electrician
or plumber or something making a service call.
Sometimes my enemies employ professionals and they sometimes have
gotten close. But they never quite home in to finish me off. For
example I can see two extremely burly Finnish men on watch on the
corner.
Today when I go to get the paper I will do it with my best
disguise ever: a kangaroo suit. I will hop by them and give them
a little playful kick (they will have seen a boxing kangaroo on
Finnish TV. They look so stupid they must have spent their whole
childhood watching the box. But stupid or not, they also look
pretty mean. One of them is 7 ft tall).
