Drupal 7.x

I have a demo site you can't see here anymore:

If you view the source, before the <doctype> there is this additional slash "/" prepended causing obvious html invalidation and breaks my css layout. Before you tell me to clear my cache and/or try a different theme to see if it's one of my customizations (which i've done already), the very same thing happens on the D7 backend using a clean "Seven" theme install there. Even bringing the site back to a clean "Bartik" on the frontend keeps the "/".

To automatically fade system messages out (like error messages and page updated messages), after a specific amount of time do the following:

In html.tpl.php add the following code in the head section:

Hello.
Im trying to move my site from local to live, and im about to change the information in the settings.php file.
But i dont exactly know where to change, i dit it in this section:

*/
$databases = array (
'default' =>
array (
'default' =>
array (
'database' => '',
'username' => '',
'password' => '',
'host' => '',
'port' => '',
'driver' => 'mysql',
'prefix' => '',
),
),
);

Thanks for looking at this question....

I want to be able to display and form in a block when it's viewed. Is is possible to do this from a render array? If so, how can this be done.

Here's the function: -

Hello!

I currently have a module that creates a drop form where the user will select an image to appear and click submit. I want to put the image in a block, but I'm not sure how.

My main problems are how to call hook_block_view from the hook_submit for the form and how to pass the appropriate file location to the hook_block_view.

I'm pretty new to Drupal and have been tasked with updating our new site.

There is a panel on a page. Part of the panel includes a search box. I want to add a link to the right of the search box that goes to another page for "advanced" options. But I'm not sure where I can add this text. I can't seem to do it via the Administrative controls.

Any suggestions?
