I had a look at your site in Firefox and it doesn't have the horizontal scroll, weird. The menu doesn't look as good in firefox though. A small piece of advice I can offer is to ALWAYS specify a background colour for the body tag as not all browser have a white background by default.

For some bizzare reason the success page doesn't call the header. I may make a mod for ths but in the meantime you can edit templates/success.php.

At a guess it doesn't call the header as it uses a meta refresh tag in the head section to send them back to the guestbook after two seconds.

If you've not fixed it by 7 tonight I'll have a look at it. I'm at work right now and my web design/coding software is at home.

I can tell you that you need to edit simmer2.js as it is pointing to images on your computer rather than on the website, ie file:///C:/websitesimnewmenus/code/corner_arrow.gif

There's some errors in your html. The page fits my 800x600 screen nicely but you are getting a lot of white space to the right that is causing the horizontal scroll bar to appear.

I think the problem lies in the fact that the menu calls javascript files that are stored in the root of your site. You need to edit the menues src= tags to point to the root. My advice is to add http://www.simmerinstyle.co.uk/ to the start of all the src= in the menu section. For example change src="code/simmer2.js" to src="http://www.simmerinstyle.co.uk/code/simmer2.js". Not to sure I like that particular menu script though. You may wish to look at DHTML menu maker by SoThink or visit www.dynamicdrive.com and look at some of the free scripts on there.

You have a link to the guestbook in question?

The default username and password worked fine for me. I have just changed the password to prevent anyone else accessing the admin area. I sent you an offline message on Yahoo with the details.

Ok After my last file had some errors I'm hoping this one fixes them. If you are running advanced guestbook 2.2 and wish to update to 2.3.1 simply follow these instructions.
1 - Backup your current files and database.
2 - Download the guestbook from this site.
3 - Upload all the files to your site, overwriting the 2.2 files if you are putting them in the same folder. remember to edit admin/config.inc.php as required.
4 - Download www.carbonize.co.uk/upgrade.zip
5 - Extract the install.php file from the zip and upload it to the same place you uploaded the 2.3.1 files, overwriting the install.php that is already there.
6 - open your web browser and goto the install.php file. eg www.yoursite.com/guestbook/install.php
7 - follow the instructions and let me know.

Shouldn't make a difference. Variables in PHP are very variable unless defined. eg

$blah = 'mary'; makes a string variable with the value mary
$blah = 1; makes a integer with the value 1.

but

$blah = 'mary264'; //makes a string with the value mary264.
$foo = $blah + 3; // makes $foo a integer with the value 267 (264 + 3)

PHP's funky like that.

Both of you need to learn what the SEARCH function is for. http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2067 is the result you would of got. The page extension must be .php.

Bump as we are getting lot of questions about this.
