Module development and code questions

I'm working in the 4.7 beta. I want to have the menus under i.e. Contact to be hidden, so it is only possible to see Contact, but not "contact international, contact local and so forth"

But I can't seem to get it to work....

I have tried to create a page with a top menu, and a static frontpage. After clikcing on one of the topmenus, a block on the left side should appear only for that page, a a front page for that page should also be viewable.

After i install a drupal i install css modlue. I make table of course. And in form shows a textarea on CSS. until now is ok but when i submit a form the css don't work. So i looked on site source and saw that where site trys to load css/get/2 ( @import "css/get/2"; ) but nighter file on such name are exist. What can be wrong in my configuration of this modlue?

I am writing support for g2image (similar to img_assist but for Gallery2) into a module (the details of g2image itself are not that important -- except that it's not my code). It needs to be passed a couple of parameters including the id of the form and the id of the textarea (I can get this).

How can I get the id of the form that the textarea is in?

I could use hook_elements with 'form' I suppose to find the form id, but then how can I associate it with the correct textarea?

Thanks for your help.

Hi all,
I have been using the nodewords meta tag generator for sometime now, and it works pretty well except that the frontpage does not seem to get a description. Checking out the readme (that comes with the module), it says I need a mission statement and a slogan. So I have added both both nothing is produced.

For now I have the theme page file to get a descripton ... but would really like to get the automated functionality working. I have checked that I am not just being dum, and have it enabled.

Am I missing something or is there an issue with the module ?

I'm confused. The documentation of API funtion db_next_id() (http://drupaldocs.org/api/head/function/db_next_id) states:

For compatibility reasons, Drupal does not use auto-numbered fields in its database tables. Instead, this function is used to return a new unique ID of the type requested. If necessary, a new sequence with the given name will be created.

This is probably a really basic question. I have Drupal 4.6.6 (tarball) and Gallery 2.1-RC-2a (cvs). Gallery seems to be running fine standalone. URL rewriting is fine in Drupal. My question is where to put the files from the Gallery 4.6.0.tar.gz tarball in order to embed Gallery 2. There are two module files (gallery.module and G2_filter.module which are in different directories in the expanded archive. G2_filter.module is in the /contrib/gw_filter folder and the gallery.module is in the top directory of the archive.
