Today while I was creating a new button with the sprite technique I discovered that what it was working in all the browsers (the decent one: Firefox, Safari, Crome and  IE8) it wasn’t working in IE7 and the CSS was not applied.

Pretty much while all the browsers were displaying the button as an image, IE7 and IE6 were displaying a resized default button (very ugly!!!)

My initial code was something like that:

#button_id{
width:439px;
height:53px;
border: none;
clear:both;
background-image:url(../images/btn-confirm.png);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:0 0;
}

I could not understand why just IE7 (and IE6 of course) were having this issues..

In the end I find the solution:
To display a background in a button in IE7 and IE6 you have to set the CSS style background-color

#order_button{
width:439px;
height:53px;
border: none;
clear:both;
background-image:url(../images/btn-confirm.png);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:0 0;
background-color:#f1f1f1; /* OF COURSE USE YOUR COLOR!! */
}

If you are going to change the name or move the location of some pages or directories, it is very important to remember that some users will still try to access the old link/url.

To make sure the users will not land at a 404 error page you need to redirect them to the new link/url.

In html or php websites you can redirect users from one url to another using the 301 redirect technique.

The 301 redirect needs be to added on the .htaccess file as follows:

#Moving a page
RedirectPermanent /old-page-name.html http://www.new-domain.com/new-directory/new-page-name.html

#Moving a directory
RedirectPermanent /old-directory http://www.new-domain.com/new-directory
# the name /old-directory is all the path of the directory after the domain:
# for example if your old path was www.domain.com/directory/old-sub-directory and you want change the subdirectory your code will be like:

RedirectPermanent /directory/old-sub-directory http://www.new-domain.com/directory/new-sub-directory

#Moving an entire site
RedirectPermanent / http://www.new-domain.com/

If you are wandering if is possible to make a  entire div is clickable this is the trick you have to use:

<div onclick=”location.href=’URL’;” style=”cursor: pointer; height:50px; width:150px”>

Remember to make an entire div tag clickable you have to use the “onlick” function and set the URL you want to link and very important is to change the cursor style to a pointer, to usability purpose.

Is important after to set the height and width.

While i was updating one of my server website how is running Joomla 1.0 i change the server from a Windows to a Unix server system.

• Very important YOU HAVE TO BACK UP ALL YOUR FILES AND THE DATABASE

When i receive the new login, i uploaded all my files but i had this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘{’ in /web/htdocs/MYWEBSITE/home/configuration.php on line 1

To solve this problem you just have to:

1. Delete from the server the “configuration.php” files
2. Download the full package the last Joomla 1.0 version () i found that here: http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/frs/?action=FrsReleaseView&release_id=6828
3. Of course extract the dir
4. Upload on the server the “configuration.php-dist” file and the “installation” directory
5. Refresh the browser, and start the installation
6. Before the installation start go to your mysql manager and (JUST AFTER BACKUP IT) delete the old table
7. Procede with the istallation.. (host, user, pass, db name…)
8. When the website is running again (and you delete the installation directory) back to your mysql admin and delete the new database and import the old one..

Done..
