    Someone from this board helped me with the database and .php side of my website. I cannot locate him.

    The result popup will not come up when you use the search engine.

    http://www.irishmediaguide.com/search.php

    Using the search word "Times" you get a number of results, when you click "View Profile" nothing turns up, The go to website link works.

    Has anyone any idea what is wrong? and how can I fix it.

    Your help would be very much appreciated.

    Brendan

    The content is hidden is <HTML> comments (<!-- COMMENTED SECTION -->) in the <HEAD> section of the pages.

    A typical HTML page should be:

    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    ...
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
    ...
    What you see on screen
    </BODY>
    </HTML>

    Only one <HTML>, <HEAD> and <BODY>.

    Anything inside <!-- Is invisible to browser, it's just comments for developer or whoever, think of them like post-its, just as reminders or explanations -->

    e.g. one of your pages, the <BODY></BODY> is empty, the content inside <!-- xxxx --> is useless to the web browser.
    <html><head>
<title>Irish Media Guide 2010</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

    As onemorechance says above the content is hidden, easiest thing to do is edit the resultpop.php and make sure the following is removed

    <!--

    It appears under the stylesheet reference

    <link rel=stylesheet href="default1.css" type="text/css">

    Be sure to take a backup of the file before you make any changes.

    Ah! I was trying to use your site last week, was wondering why it wasn't working. Must go back now.
