I'm working with an overseas agency that will not work with PayPal? I have never been in this situation before and quick frankly, I find it bizarre. But all that aside,
I know US banks do not support IBAN #'s but what about the SWIFT code route. Anyone have experience transferring money this way or insight on how secure it is? Can't say i'm particularly excited about sharing bank account numbers over. About ready to pull the plug and move on.

Hi Justin,
I think SWIFT is equivalent to Routing number - the numbers showing at the
bottom of the check starting from the left and going up to the account
number. You either use the combination of SWIFT/IBAN or Routing Number/Bank
Account.
Good luck!
Laurel :)

Laura is right. And those numbers are needed for international wire transfers. And a wire transfer is how we handle being paid by our one international client who does not have PayPal.
But not all financial institutions are in the system, I found out the hard way. For example, credit unions are not, but most of them are affiliated with a BANK that does.

Thanks Joni and Laurel. But really, who is in the business and won't use PayPal?!?!?!
- Joni Mueller <joni@jonimueller.com> Feb 12 05:31PM -0600
Some countries are banned (by their govenrments or the EU or PayPal -- not sure) from using it currently. So sometimes it's not their fault. So if you don't want to use another payment vehicle, find another client. :)

And this is one of the first questions I ask any prospective international clients because it can be an issue in some countries. Most of the EU does use PayPal; it's generally those European countries not admitted to the EU that cannot, and some other countries, but a large majority of those non-European countries (Muslim countries and those in Asia) might have trade restrictions (or even sanctions) preventing them from doing business with U.S. based companies. So if it is some oddball company, do check. You don't want to be in trouble.
And if it's just an individual, well that's a choice they are making, so again, I say, don't want to use another payment vehicle, decline the work. :)

It's just that PayPal is free and proven way to added an xtra layer of security. Seeing how a SWIFT code is essentially a routing number, the choice seems rather obvious unless banned like you said...

Well, just because you and I have had positive experiences with PayPal -- I've been a business member since 2005, not everyone has. Google Regretsy and see how they handled her charity/donation last Christmas. And there are other similar horror stories. The good thing is after the situation was promoted on FB and Twitter and elsewhere, PayPal backpedaled. I have also had friends in this industry who have had not just their PayPal accounts "frozen" by PayPal pending some "investigation," but their bank accounts linked to PayPal. Scary.
So its NOT for everyone, and other people may have their own reasons for not using it, so ....

Try changing the doctype to this, <!DOCTYPE html> and if that does
nothing go here and see how they attach audio with HTML5
http://p2pu.org/en/groups/html-introduction/content/multimedia/
Hopefully changing doctype works, if not be sure to see the comments
and view source on that link.

Hello all,
Time for me to contribute my work. I have been playing around with
mobile for quite awhile now. I have investigated quite a few different
platforms / authoring tools including sencha touch, jquery mobile, and
jqtouch to name a few. I have also checked out tools that were
wyziwig. I decided for my needs, that jquery mobile fills the bill and
decided to started selling mobile sites "on the side" from my regular
duties that keeps the bills paid.
After checking out some competition, I came up with a price-point that
works for me with the ability to share the wealth through a two tiered
affiliate program.
So here is the new site for marketing those sites: http://www.cheapmobilesites.com
So this is what I need from you nice folks:
1) Your opinion of the site.
2) Thoughts on the business model.
3) any affiliate forums you might know of I can pimp it out at.
By the way, we can subcontract mobile sites for others at competitive
rates. If you need something more complex, we can help you out.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi, i am having trouble to define witdh of my website, i read some
articles about setting min-width(780px) and max-width(1260px) for page
wrapper in css, but i do not know if this is right to do it. I have
left sidebar and main content.
Should I set left sidebar width to for example 20% and main content to
80% to display it correctly on different screen resolution? please
give me some advice about it. thanks in advance:)
- chris walker <customsitepro@gmail.com> Feb 12 11:07PM +0800
To answer your original question, I build at 980 or 1000 px wide and set
the margins in the css to center the body against a contrasting or
complimentary background color.
Check out a good liquid framework like boilerplate or another one along
those lines. Pretty soon, according to some think tanks, mbile browsers are
going to surpass desktop browsers and you need to take that into
consideration when designing. You can always design for desktop/ laptop and
for mobile and set a script that kicks mobile browsers over to a subdomain,
but if you can find a way to go fluid as some people on this forum have
done, you don't have to design twice.
When going fluid, you can not specify dimensions on images andadd some css
that will limit the image width to 100%. That way there are no scrollbars
and someone can see your site on almost any device. Depending on how you
set up the divs, the content can stack when you go down to 320.
