Website advice

Personally, I would change the opening hours HTML to this:

HTML code:
<li>
  <h2>Opening Hours</h2>
  <ul id="opening_hours">
    <li>10am - 4pm<span>Monday</span></li>
    <li>10am - 8pm<span>Tuesday</span></li>
    <li>10am - 8pm<span>Wednesday</span></li>
    <li>9:30am - 8pm<span>Thursday</span></li>
    <li>9.30am - 6pm<span>Friday</span></li>
    <li>9am - 4pm<span>Saturday</span></li>
    <li>Closed<span>Saturday</span></li>
    <li><span>Reservations Advisable</span></li>
  </ul>
</li>


And add the following CSS rules:

CSS code:
#opening_hours li {
    text-align: right;
}
 
#opening_hours li span {
    float: left;
}


Everyone will have their preferred methods, that's what I tend to do where you want a simple left and right aligned text on the same line.

Cheers Matt, I used your code as it helps me understand the CSS a bit more. I don't know why the bottom # Reservations Advisable is striked through.

It's not striked-through, it's the border on the list-item. You can "fix" it by putting a clearer inside that last list-item. It's odd that it didn't do that when I tested the code before posting it. Ho hum.

HTML code:
<ul>
  <li>
    <span>Reservations Advisable</span>
    <div style="clear: both"></div>
  </li>
</ul>


Also, I've noticed you've got an empty list and list item below the opening hours which is making Firefox 4.0 show an empty white box with the list icon in it.

that slide show on the 'home' page is a bit jumpy, like 1 frame is out of alignment (vista, IE8)

 

[edit] it's every time it does a transition, the whole image jumps up left - looks like about 1 pixel

Don't know if anyone else has pointed it out, but you are both open and closed on Saturday.

That's probably my fault. Supposed to be Sunday.

Easily want to charge a new hosting package on both my accounts to upgrade to there new apache servers. Mother Fuckers.

 

10 years I have been with them and never had a problem, there tech support is normally pretty good but its policy to charge for this sort of thing :|

 

Anger rising

Policy is not immutable; tell them to change it.

I fucking hate that phrase. Had a row in curries the other month (Which I won, natch - new washing machine thank you very much!)

 

Her: "I'm sorry sir, I can't help you any further."
Me: "No, you won't help me - big difference."
Her: "But it's policy."
Me: "Set by who?"
Her: "The company."
Me: "Great, you can change it then."

 

It went on for a bit, but to cut a long story short - instead of me paying them to replace my broken washing machine, they did it for free and gave ME money for my troubles.

 

It's like contracts.

 

"But, sir, it's in the contract - there's nothing I can do."
"Well, the contract is between you and I - so as long as we agree, we can do what we like, can't we?"
"But..."

Hello again peeps

 

I have not had much time to work on this site due to health and work load but I have manged to decide on how to do the price list.

 

http://www.beautyattiffanys.com/wip

 

A nice PDF to download and treasure for ever and ever. It makes sense to just PDF the latest price list and upload it quickly.

 

The client is happy so far and has only asked for a few changes which I have done (including the colour, she wanted lilak instead of pink, erg, so I tried it and failed it immediatly, she understood)

 

One of the slideshow pictures needs redoing as its squashed and I really can not decide on how to do the treatment page. I have asked the client for more information on the treatments she wants advertised (I have no idea what most of them are)

 

I also can't decide about the top menu buttons. Will it look better to get rid of the two black dividers or leave them floating? And for the life of me I cant get rid of them without the site buggering up.
I have until end of next week to finish it as I then start my chemo drug month and am expecting to be a bit ill.

 

Any advice would be appriciated as always

is that slideshow meant to be jumping up and to the left every time it does a transition? - it seems quite peculiar

I would add a link to Adobe Reader too, but otherwise I've never had much of a problem with PDF pricelists.etc, especially for restaurant menus and similar things.

I admit I use IE8, which could be part of the issue, but every image jumps up and to the left by about 1px at every transition
From: Wattsy (SLAYERPUNX)30 Mar 2011 10:21
To: JonCooper 58 of 73

I have been staring at it for ages now adn stil can not see that happen. I have checked it on IE8 (work) and FF 3.6 and 4 (home)

 

Are you in and earth quake zone?

Would anyone help me with a problem please? I have screwed up my template and the more I fiddle the more I break it! Would someone mind looking at it for me if I PM it to you? The sidebar has moved from the side to the bottom and I cannot figure out why!

 

Thanks in advance.

I can have a look. From what you've said I imagine the sidebar is floated and something in the main content has subtly increased in width and borked it :C
