questions about guestbook AND poll

1)in the guestbook it takes forever and is very difficult to actually see the graphics... are they being loaded from another website and not mine?

2) for the polls, I want several on one page but have been unsuccesful - tried tables, aligning, etc, but they still line up vertically...

help!

thanks

1) No, the entire guestbook loads from your server. I've encountered slow-loading depending on how I'm connecting to my guestbooks. If I try from work they hang for a couple of minutes then load. Haven't encountered it using any other connection and unfortunately I'm not sure why it happens. But I haven't had a problem with poor images.

What's the guestbook URL

2) It should work in tables, if no other way. If you look at http://proxy2.de/poll/index.php the three polls are each within table cells.

Do you have a sample page set up?

guestbook is located at:
http://www.lindsaywagner.net/guestbook1/

poll is at
http://www.lindsaywagner.net/polltest.php -- I tried php and html

my server is super fast so I know the guestbook problem is not with the server. everyone I ask to check it out is saying the pics are loading and this is frustrating. -- they just dont load. in all my checking into this page, the pics only loaded ONCE. very frustrating for my site!

What I want for the poll is to have several polls on the same page ....

thanks!!

I copied this script exactly, it wont work... I modified it and it still doesnt work...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning: main(poll/include/): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/lwagner/public_html/polltest.php on line 12

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'poll/include/' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/lwagner/public_html/polltest.php on line 12

this is frustrating... All I want is to have several polls on the same page.. why is it so difficult???

I have tried 3 different demos from this link but cant get any of them to work!!!!!

please help!!

For the guestbook, try setting the link to

http://www.lindsaywagner.net/guestbook1/index.php

I'm not sure why it is, but if you make index.php part of the URL it seems to work fine.

Sorry, I thought your question on the poll was relaed to layout. Someone who understands PHP and the necessary paths will have to help with the poll question

Try mine i dont use the index.php at the end of mine and i have no problems.

Yeah and I don't know why some sites will not load properly without it.

Generally, as you know, when you call a directory like "www.yourdomain.com/guestbook" it defaults to the index file in the directory. In the cases where the images aren't showing, the index file is opening but the paths to the images are wrong.

May be something to do with server set up?

I changed this and it works perfectly now! Thats so weird! but at least that takes care of my guestbook issue...

Now just the poll issue
