Help with Font on website

Hi Guys,
I'm having a little problem with a website, the soloution is probably really simple but cant for the life of me figure it out.
Welcome to 1st Winnington Scouts
Please choose your section below.
In my html the above is under the div tag "main" and the css for h1 is calibri font and it shows this in dreamweaver. Whenever I use live view, or preview in browser, or have it uploaded as it is now the font reverts back to times new roman and black in colour.
The link to the site is below.
http://winningtonscouts.hostei.com/
Any help with this would be grand

Sorry I meant to say Courier New, not Calibri
On the Style sheet there are
#main_image h1 {
    font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
    color: #51327B;
    font-size: 36px;
    font-variant: small-caps;
    font-weight: bold;
    text-align: center;
#main_image p {
    font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 14px;
    color: #51327B;
    text-align: justify;
#main_image h2 {
    font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
    color: #51327B;
    font-size: 24px;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-variant: small-caps;

PHP Help with inherited database site

Hope someone can help with this, although I might be a bit vague. (But will be happy to post any code that might help.)
Basically I do a few sites for a company, and everything is coming together nicely moving everything to a new reseller hosting account where everything can site. I'm basically doing some redesign and new database work for them.
But there's one site I'm basically just trying to move over, that already has a database. I've copied the site onto the new hosting, copied the database across and created a new connection file.
I must admit the code is all a bit more PHPO heavy than what I'm used to working with. so have run into a problem trying to figure out what data is not displaying due to queries failing. As far as I can tell the connection is working, and the queries have not changed.
Anyway - the main page is here, where you should be able to click on the furniture images to go to the product page :
http://www.miradatravelmedia.com/lusty/public_html/index.php
But when you click through the product page query is failing :
http://www.miradatravelmedia.com/lusty/public_html/products.php?category=1
The products page is mostly PHP and looks like this :
[PHP]<?php
if (!@empty($_REQUEST["img"])) {
require_once("../includes/hft_image.php");
$img = new hft_image($_REQUEST["img"]);
$img->resize(200,180,"-");
$img->output_resized("");
exit;
$page = "products";
include("../includes/header.php");
include("../includes/db_open.php");
$sql = "SELECT `id`, `name` FROM `categories` WHERE `id` = '" . $_REQUEST["category"] . "'";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die("Query failed : $sql at line " . __line__);
$category = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
?>
<div id="trail"><a href="shop.php">Shop</a> > Lloyd Loom <?php echo $category["name"]?></div>
<div class="clear" id="divider1"><img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="<?php echo keyword()?>" /></div>
<h1>Lloyd Loom <?php echo $category["name"]?></h1>
<?php
$sql =
"SELECT * " .
"FROM `products` " .
"WHERE `category` = '" . $_REQUEST["category"] . "' " .
"ORDER BY `order`";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die("Query failed : $sql at line " . __line__);
if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) {
?>
<p>Coming soon ...</p>
<?php
} else {
$n = 0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    $n++;
?>
<a href="product.php?id=<?php echo $row["id"]?>" class="product"<?php if ($n == mysql_num_rows($result)) echo " id=\"last\""?>>
<?php
    if ($file = glob("images/products/" . $row["id"] . "_*.*")) {
?>
<img src="img.php?img=<?php echo $file[0]?>&width=200&height=180" alt="<?php echo $row["code"]?>" />
<?php
    } else {
?>
<div id="no_image">No image found</div>
<?php
?>
<?php echo $row["code"]?>
</a>
<?php
    if (is_int($n / 4)) {
?>
<div class="clear"><img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="<?php echo keyword()?>" /></div>
<?php
?>
<div class="clear" id="divider2"><img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="<?php echo keyword()?>" /></div>
<?php
include("../includes/footer.php");
?>[/PHP]
If anyone could shed any light on what's going wrong still, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''categories' WHERE 'id' = '1'' at line 1
So it does look a bit odd with the quotes.
Column names in a SQL query must not be in quotes. The MySQL error message tells you that the SQL syntax error is "near" the section it refers to. In other words, the error is just before that part of the query. Normally, you need to display the whole query to spot the error, but it's obvious in this particular case, because there's a quotation mark after categories, indicating that you've put the column name in quotes. Anyway, you've solved that problem by using the version I suggested.
I still haven't managed to establish where this vat.php file is - is there any explanation for it not being visible on the original hosting server where the site is working? And could it have anything to do with the query not working?
No, it has nothing to do with the query not working, and the reason you can't see it on the live site is because there's no error. The error message on your test site tells you exactly where to look for the problem. The file vat.php is included by header.php on line 19. Either vat.php isn't on your server, or the code on line 19 of header.php is pointing to the wrong location.

Help with a "buggy" site

Hey guys,
I finally got my domain with my flash site up on it. It's a fairly simple site, but I have been having a lot of times (especially with optimizing and making it fast) Im still having speed issues, even though I have linked every image, optimized every image, etc. So I guess thats my first questions: any secrets I may not have heard of for optimizing?
Second, when you open my site you will see some other bugs. My homepage is what I call a clicktable, and as soon as you click a square, a dotted line surrounds the entire "workspace" like it is outlinging the exact size of my catalyst document. This appeared out of the blue..I have no idea why (it was up on another server with no problems). Another problem is when you click to different pages things kind of spaz out (you will see what I mean)...another problem that never used to be there. If anyone has any tips on any of this I would be very grateful! Also, any critique in general. Thanks!

That's not something you can do using templates or by
dropping in a free
script; it's pretty complicated. You need to know how to
design a database
and write server-side code. Dreamweaver will help you write
the code, but
you still need to plan and design the whole application. I'd
recommend
starting with a book. It sounds like PHP is going to be your
best bet - does
your host server support it? If so, do a search on Amazon.com
for books on
Dreamweaver and PHP, and/or ask for recommendations here.

HELP WITH FONT SIZE

Hello,
In Dreamweaver, how do I change the dropdown menu of font size to ENUMERATED? I went into the CODE FORMAT and could not do it there. I would rather work with the numbers for font size than the small, medium, large, etc. Any help appreciated.
[email protected]

You'll get better cross browser results with ems or pixels.
CSS
html {font-size: 100%}
body {font-size: 1em}
h1 {font-size: 2.5em;} /* 40px/16=2.5em */
h2 {font-size: 1.875em;} /* 30px/16=1.875em */
p {font-size: 0.875em;} /* 14px/16=0.875em */
or
h1 {font-size:40px;}
h2 {font-size:30px;}
p {font-size:14px;}

Noob needs help with hosting multiple sites

Hello I am new to this multi hosting. I have looked on the forum for answers but haven't found any. I am trying to figure out how to host multiple sites. I have my dns working for my default site "example1.com", but need to know if I need to add another dns record for my second site. "example2.com". Also when I point to the new fold that has the second site in it and I assign it port 82 for testing purposes I get an error message saying 403 access forbidden. I need to find out how get permission to view the site for the public. Its in a separate folder on an external hard drive right now for testing purposes. Can any body help me or point me in the right direction? Thanks so much!!!

While what you are telling him is technically functional, it is not correct
I beg to differ, Paul. You are the one that is not correct.
CNAMES have been deprecated as of some years ago
What? huh? really?
Please show me any official document that states this (and not someone who just started a rumor because he didn't understand them). Indeed, the DNS RFC makes no such claim.
{quote}
I stand very much corrected. CNAMEs are not officially deprecated. Interestingly, your post cites precisely what happens when CNAMES used carelessly. How many transactions are needed to resolve Apple's CNAME chain below? RFC1912 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1912.html) has some recommendations that suggests Apple's own network folks have, like me and perhaps even others here, some learning to do. Is that a 'best practice?'
{quote}> Then make sure you tell Apple since this site depends on the use of CNAMEs:
dig discussions.apple.com
discussions.apple.com. 492 IN CNAME discussions.apple.com.edgesuite.net.
discussions.apple.com.edgesuite.net. 4427 IN CNAME a1399.b.akamai.net.
a1399.b.akamai.net. 2 IN A 128.241.220.82
a1399.b.akamai.net. 2 IN A 128.241.220.72
In fact, it uses TWO CNAMES in a chain. Oh my.{quote}
From RFC1912 (which I'm sure many have now read here), section 2.4 is as follows:
{quote}... having chained records such as CNAMEs pointing to CNAMEs may
make administration issues easier, but is known to tickle bugs in
some resolvers that fail to check loops correctly. As a result some
hosts may not be able to resolve such names.{quote}
{quote}> It is not valid to say "don't use these because they could cause problems'. A records can be just as problematic, as can PTRs. Let's not even talk about MX.{quote}
How, exactly, does is an A record problematic? No chains, no additional lookups, no wasted cycles...
We differ here -- and if we are dealing with a newbie, we don't need to enter into unnecessary complexity UNTIL it is a requirement for their solutions.
{quote}> There are many valid reasons to use CNAMEs in DNS, not least of which is the ease of moving a service if it uses CNAMEs. For example, if you have 10 A records all pointing at the same server and you want to migrate to a different machine you have to locate and update all 10 records. If they used a CNAME to the physical server you could move them all at once using a single change. This is especially important in cross-domain links where you may not control all the origin zone files.
{quote}
You're somewhat reaching here, and it is well beyond the scope of the OP's post or needs (well, until they tell us more about their needs, I suppose). There is nothing difficult about 'finding' and updating the necessary records. The final example you gave is a good one and I'll say THAT is an appropriate use of a CNAME, 'though there are other workarounds for it.
Thanks for keeping me honest.

PhotoShop Elements 10...I need help with font size for watermark in Processing Multiple Files.....

I have PhotoShop Elements 10, and I am trying to watermark some of my photos, I have successfully added them one at a time with a font large enough to be seen. Now I am trying to add it using the "process multiple files" , I can do that but the font even at 72 the largest setting is so small on the photo you can barely read it! Can anyone help me the size larger on my photos?

Thank you, Michael. I just watched the Russell Brown video again for CS6 and looked real closely at his settings in ACR and he was using 240ppi. I changed my file in image size to 240 ppi and then ran the script and the layer didn't change size this time when I ran the script.
It is kind of annoying to have to change the image size everytime I want to run this script and then change it back again as most of my files are 300 ppi. I used to run his script for edit in ARC in CS5 and recall that if I just remembered to change the settings in ARC to 300 ppi while the script was playing and before pressing 'open' that the image wouldn't change size during the raw processing, but this doesn't seem to be working in CS6. Do you know of a way to use this script and not have to change the ppi for the image to 240?
Thanks again.

Help with fonts...

Hi - I'm totally new at this, so please be gentle!
I'm trying to build my first website in dreamweaver cs5 and having trouble with some fonts - namely the helvetica neue suite... which came installed on my mac (dfont).
I'm not sure if I've done this wrong, but it is working if I change the fonts to anything other than helvetica neue.
I've created a targeted rule for the main body text, and selected Helvetica Neue Ultralight, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica in that order. I can see the changes in the preview window, but in live view and browser preview the font is showing up as only helvetica. I've tried switching out to other wacky fonts and I can get it to work with everything other than helvetica neue...
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I guess you didn't understand what I wrote earlier.
Some of your custom fonts will load on your system, they'll not load on other browsers. And even if you were to install to Helvetica Neue.ttf on your system, you'll be able to view it on your browser, unless you've made some error in writing your font-family definition. Like you said, FontBook doesn't render some fonts properly if there are duplicates found. You should ideally disable duplicates or delete them from FontBook.
If you'd wan us to verify your CSS integrity to find out if your tag usage for font-family is correct, you should post your CSS, HTML and possibly an active link to your webpage here.
Whatever said and done - BOTTOMLINE - It's a bad idea to use custom fonts for your website unless of course the font you'd like to use doesn't have a usage restriction for web. You wouldn't want to get into licensing issues with the original creator of the font for this later.

Just Installed CS4; Need Help With Font Names/Colors/Sizes

In past versions of Dreamweaver, I think I clicked on "Use HTML instead of CSS" in the Preferences. I need to be able to select the font names, colors, and sizes from the Property Inspector.
How do I set it up the same way in CS4. I have clicked on the toggle button in the Property Inspector for HTML instead of CSS, but it doesn't give me the menus to select font names (Arial, Helvetica, etc.), font size (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) and font color (imagine your own).
Thanks!
Mike

DW CS4 makes you use the CSS properties inspector because CSS is the defacto web standard now. HTML formatting is deprecated (obsolete) according to W3C web standards.
There are three ways to use CSS in your site pages.
Inline: A one-time style applied within the code as an attribute of a given element (or tag). This is similar to the old HTML formatting method but the code itself is a little different.
Embedded: A style sheet declaration in the head of the document that will only effect that single page on the site.
External: A physical CSS file containing rules (styles) that is linked to from multiple pages within the site.
It doesn't matter if you have dynamically generated or static web pages. CSS is still the most efficient way to style your content.

Help with finding my site in google?

hi all i have my site up and running and think i have it indexed?
im after a bit of help regarding how people search for it? for example the website is for my turfing company based in essex called Unique Lawns. i need to know how i go about keywords so if someone was to type in google "turf laid in essex" my site would appear?
my site is here if you need to look into the code etc: http://www.uniquelawns.com/
i can find my site in google by typing unique lawns usualy in the top 6-7 on the first page which i think is pretty good as i only submitted it a few days ago, i have been reading about META keywords which im a bit confused about as some say they dont work in google?
im just after some advice as to how i can get my site found when typing in keywords related to my site,
also are google adwords any good as i have a free £50 voucher that came with my hosting?
many thanks for any help

If, as you say, some of your pages have been indexed by Google, chances are all pages have been indexed..... including the phrase:
"turf laid in essex"
A quick Google search returns
About 1,440,000 results
for that phrase...and I'll bet your's in there somwhere!
Why even the mention of
"turf laid in essex"
has this Adobe post listed 4th position, first page... saying the post was added 17 minutes ago....
so remember, in that 1,440,000 results, there are a lot of sites... all wanting to be on the first page... so why did the Adobe post make it and your site did not?
Look at the time the Adobe Forum has been around... so you have to consider time.
Look at the massive amount of quality content on the Adobe site... how does your site compare?
Look at all the other inbound links that the Adobe Forum has built up over all those years? How about your site?
Don't be discouraged, Google "SEO Princliple" and topics like that... TONS of info available.
Just remember that pretty much everyone in those 1,440,000 results want to be first page... so competition can be stiff... review and build on sound SEO principles and don't expect it happen overnight.
Best wishes,

Help with attaching Dreamweaver site to a domain purchased through Google (GoDaddy)

Hi Yesterday I set up Google Apps and have bought a domain through them (which they get from GoDaddy) I want to have a more professional looking website than they offer with Google Sites so was going to design one in Adobe DreamWeaver. The only problem is I don't know how to attach the two together. I use design mode as I can't really code (unless following a tutorial) so if anyone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. Thanks K

1) I believe what you are asking is how to point your domain name to your site. If this is the case then the first thing you need to do is find a host with whom you can agree to sign a contract for 12 months and upload your files. If you want a simple host with all the features you are likely to want then I would strongly recommend these people:
<sky.uk.net>
2) Then you need to enter the cname of your host on GoDaddy's CPanel. The full instructions are here:
<To Add a CNAME Record>
This should get you started but you may also want to enter your Mx records for your emails sent to your domain name like: [email protected] or whatever.
3) the full instructions about all this is here:
<Managing DNS for Your Domain Names>
4) If, however, you were asking for free templates and extensions for your DW then WebAssists has quite a few to get you started. Gramps has given you the links so it is a good idea to browse their site and register with them free of charge to download the free extensions from them. There are some classified as premium but you don't want them now until you are experienced enough to design some sophisticated websites.

Help with Fonts that have trashed my machine

Hi please any help or advice needed.
I have a 2009 Macbook pro 17" running snow leopard v10.6
I recently made the mistake of installing a 1000 fonts pack.
Installed on my machine I have CS4 Master Suite ...
The 1st issue I noticed immediately was firefox fonts were illegible, I went through font book and fixed all the fonts with the yellow exclamation on...
But now I have a bigger issue I need dreamweaver for webwork that I do and all the program fonts are un readable ...
I have tried re installing CS4 to no avail... I even installed the CS5 demo but no joy ..
I set up a 2nd user on the mac and everything works fine, so I tried just creating a copy font directory fro the new account and installing them in my main account ... this just caused more conflicts
I cant use my 2nd User account as I have cutstudio plugin for a roland cutter and for some very odd reason when I sent to cut off my 2nd user account it only cuts out what the last job was on on my main account
Is there any way I can restore my fonts on my main account without having to re install snow leopard ...
If I do re install snow leopard does it wipe everything ????
Many thanks in advance

As macjack noted, you can reinstall just the fonts from your OS X installation disk without reinstalling the entire OS. But, it sounds like your bigger issue is that at least one (probably more) of the fonts you installed are bad. Applications displaying the wrong fonts is usually caused by one of two things, sometimes both:
1) The fonts have incorrect internal names and are conflicting with the font that is supposed to be displaying.
2) The fonts are damaged. If they are, that in turn damages Font Book's database. Once that happens, you will see incorrect fonts displayed, not being able to activate or deactivate fonts from within Font Book, etc.
So just reinstalling OS X's supplied fonts won't fix the issue by itself. You need to do multiple steps:
1) Move all of the third party fonts you installed somewhere other than in a Fonts folder. You can just delete them too since you have them on disk.
2) Reset Font Book. Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding it until OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally.
This will reset Font Book's database and clear the cache files in your user account. Any font sets you have created will be gone. Also, all fonts will now be active, regardless of their state beforehand.
3) Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and all user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.
Everything should be working correctly at this point. The only reason it wouldn't is if the OS X supplied fonts themselves were damaged.

Help with Motion Tweens and Designing

So we are basically trying to design part of a website
and we want to have the whole alphabet at the top of the page then we want like one letter to shake
and then fall into a funnel which we want to be in the middle of the page then another letter shakes, then two at a time, the three at a time and after that all the letters fall in.
After that we want the letters to fall out and form and sentence, a few sentences.
That's basically all that was thought about, and we are new to flash so we were looking for any tips, or any help to actually do this
we were trying to mess wit the motion tween but we never figured out how to make it shake how we want it to, so any help will be appreciated.
