Form Validation

 I have just created a contact page which allows the user to put in their name, email address and any message they would like to send to me. it then sends it to my email. This creates a way for people to directly get in touch with me and ask any questions they may have. i also embedded a video on my DMPT page, in which it lies below the Lightbox gallery. I added some SWF image files to my MMA page. one which is static and does not move, and one which does.

Gallery

I wanted to have a photo gallery in my website. i researched how to do this and found code to create the desired look and feel. i changed some of the code to fix it to my liking. This gallery code is called Lightbox 2. it is easy to implement and creates a perfect image gallery. while doing this i also came accross a way to scroll my site back to the top. it uses simple hand written javascript and does its job efficently and effectivly.

Problems

The main problem i have found is a compatability issue. I have noticed that my website does not display properly in internet explorer. Media queries dont work in internet explorer and i am not sure how to fix this problem. i will work to fix these problems as soon as i can. I am also having problems getting media queries to function the way i would like them to.

After coding most of my first page i tried to make the website responsive. This uses Media Queries to get the screen size of the browser and allows the code inside it to run. i have been having trouble as my website is slightly larget than the media querie i used so i had to change som absolute values to percentage values
