yes I have been aware that sometimes I do see the fully opened menu which obscures the rest of the screen. Jon, you said "Looks like you're missing the starting state that you have in other media queries." Do you see where this state is set? So I think I will go away and try to ger this menu problem cleared up. I got the code off codepen and reasonably understood it at that time but I will need to go study it again to refresh my memory as to how it works - once that is working I can then come back to the 'squeezed image' problem (and maybe incorporate the recommended <picture> tag. Nancy, have posted the images as I see them

Can any of you fine folks tell me why the image on the home page seems to be squeezed up when I view it on my iPhone and iPad? I cannot see any CSS that would be responsible for this squeezed image. Its fine in my Desktop view on my pc Please view on a phone/tablet: https://higgsy.co.uk/index.html In the past the solution has always been to remove the height and width properties that Dreamweaver irritatingly adds after any insert image command. Other images on the site all show fine on a phone or tablet This page has remained unchanged for ages so I must add that I did recently add the Google Search bar to the page, is that the culprit in some way?

thanks to everyones advice. It's made me look again at the question and it seems I confused myself as I tried to disable the rule. Now I see the cascade was working correctly and I ought to have been focusing on why the rule as coded was not doing what I wanted - thanks anyway

http://v60.ancestry.higgsy.co.uk/curtis_lilian_maud.html In global.css line 60 I have a padding-right of 25 pixels. In my internal style sheet I have the same rule at line 6 under a media-query for my iPhone Portrait These rules are targeting @2021 in the footer and are trying to remove the padding-right 25px which, in phone portrait mode makes the @2021 left align with wasted space to its right If I go into Firefox dev tools and cancel the first item line 6 in the internal style sheet why does the padding right in global.css line 60 then come into play and thus override. I thought any rule in an internal style sheet overrides the same rule in external style sheet - am I right?

http://v60.ancestry.higgsy.co.uk/pic.html Can anyone explain why the second image has been pushed down from the top? I wanted to learn flexbox so thought I would just stick two images on the page and go from there. There's no point in starting to play with flexbox various alignment parameters until I understand why this is happening here many thanks david

Many thanks Nancy, I just removed my resp_image class and all looks good. Now you mention it, I do recall reading about the tag selector taking priority but I think I hardly use them so have fallen into that trap! Your help is much appreciated.

I am going to re-install windows soon so I thought before I do it, I would get any software off the C: partition and re-install to my P: partition (p for programs - I'm so smooth!). I un-installed DW then within CC Desktop clicked Install, confident it would ask me where I'd like to install it NO SUCH LUCK - it installed neatly back on my C: partiton! Does anyone know if what I want to do is possible? many thanks in advance, David

I have now received three emails in further response to this post from Nancy, Birnou and Ben M. All these emails have given me good further advice on the problem but when I went to the Adobe forum to view them there they do not appear. This is likely because I had posted that the problem had been solved and someone seems to have closed the item. Is this how to supposed to work ? I would have thought it would be down to the original poster, once he was happy to close off the question . I can see the subsequent advice from the above 3 people so not a real big deal just wondering who closed it and and was that because I'd said the problem is solved? Many thanks anyway for the advice

Thanks for your response people, very good of you to assist. Birnou: it’s a little unclear what you mean but I suspect you are saying I need to remove all the php tags from the HTML version, which I have now done Ben P: Thanks for the point re identical pages, I’ll store that nugget away for the future,(these two pages have different names so am I right in thinking in this case the URL’s are different)? Yes I certainly accept what you say about this is nothing to do with DW, but you are all so knowledgeable I thought it worth a try Ben M: would you be kind enough to show me where in my code it shows two GA accounts please? Re https: I have a certificate on my other website but It seems my host IONOS only allows it to be on one site, hence this site still http, does that sound right? I will go and investigate tag Manager immediately!

if you go to my website and click Higgs in the top navigation, you will see there are two links to Higgs Sam. One is a .php version and the other is HTML Why does the PHP version show up in Google/ Analytics at Real-time/Overview (screenshot below) but the HTML version does not? The Analytics code in the pages is identical and HTML suffix is the only difference between the pages (although the PHP version does have some Include statements)

I am wondering if my PHP is in the correct place as I seem to recall there is a case where you have to put the PHP right at the top of the document, before the DOCTYPE - is my code ok where i've put it?
Also your example code looks very useful and I'll take closer look once I'm clear of this present problem!
many thanks

On a previous post I was recommended by your good selves to stop using an old Perl script and use instead phpmailer. This I have now implemented BUT… After my contact form has been completed and submitted I want the thank you page to be displayed. Although the email is sent successfully the thank you page is not displayed. I got the code off the Internet and I do largely understand how it works: the contact_form.php displays the form and when Submit is clicked it uses action=”send.php” to load the send.php page The send.php page collects the form data and uses phpmailer to send the email, which it does successfully. But it does not then display the thankyou.php page Hopefully the gurus on this forum will spot the error I have made super-fast, such is my confidence in your talents! My contact form is at http://dave.higgsy.com/form/contact_form.php Many thanks in advance david

Today I went back to an old site of mine that I had not touched for some time and I find the contact form is failing after submitting it: Application Error
An error has occurred in the program close sendmail pipe failed, mailprog=[/usr/sbin/sendmail david@higgsy.com] at eval (11) line 108. I think the way it works is the form Action is to reach out across the internet and run the FormMail.pl residing in the root of my domain. The error message above suggest to me there has been a fault whithin the formmail script when it tries to run sendmail Am I on the right track here?

Many thanks to Jon and Osgood, What would I do without you?! Your help is much appreciated even if I get to be called a greenhorn!! 🙂 I accept your advice about the un-necesary use of grid on a simple site, so I am today making a determined effort to refresh my little knowledge of Flexbox and will use that much more going forward. Thanks again.

thanks your comments chaps, I will pursue your suggestions. Though I agree the centre content looks longer than the two images either side I'm still unclear as to where is that content? and what is all that white space immediately following the Rawstorne Street text? In the HTML the div ends immediately after the Rawstorne Street text. (I added that thin border just to outline the div for myself)

Please see this page http://v58.ancestry.higgsy.co.uk/rockliffe_dave_junior.html Could one of you fine people say why the centre grid item is extending below images either side of it?. I thought the height of the grid items is determined by their content and in this case all three grid items have content that is short enough. Many thanks
