Solve : Can't get pop-up windows to work on my site? |
|||||||
|
Answer» This could be a script error or it could be something else, but the pop-up windows that were working are not now. They are PRODUCT detail windows with an add to cart button. I have attached the script from the page if someone can look at it and see if there is an issue with the writing. I don't think I have ever changed anything on this page in order to not make it work, but I have been adding JAVA scripts to other pages on the site, if that makes a difference. Let me know if other page scripts are needed, or the website address. Thanks everyone! You all have been very helpful in the other forums!
{row.td2}
What's all the stuff in CURLY brackets (braces: { }) about? Are you using a templating system? DTML? This is not a complete page you have posted here. Perhaps you could provide a link to the page - that would be easier. |

Solve : Dial-Up wont dial.? |
|
Answer» Specs: Specs: What if you put SP2 on there and try again? Quote What things should I lie about or not tell them (that would void my warranty)? You call them and ask for an RMA if you determine those are the problems. I would never lie about anything, but did you do something to these components? Where did you get them? Did you put the dialup phone number in? Give the Internet Connection Wizard a try.Will try SP2.. I bought both retail from www.newegg.com I haven't done anything to the Mobo, but i put an aftermarket HSF on. I read on the warranty that it would void it... >.< There was no dial up number to put in, it was automatic. "we will now make a tollfree call." with the buttons 'continue' and 'cancel'. I'm sure all this isp helpful software is designed to make people dependent on them. At the end of the day all you need to do is dialup and put in your username & password. Try windows Internet Connection Wizard, ask your isp for the email settings, pop3 & smtp.No the problem is that my modem/computer/whatever wont even DIAL the number. I even used some program called "hyper connect" or something like that. I then found instructions on how to figure out if my comp was connecting to the modem (it was) and then i tried to make it dial a phone number (i got it from my isp) and it wont. It picks up the line (i can hear dial tone) and nothing happens. The drivers show that the modem is indeed connected, but it fails to dial. No beeps, just dial tone. Then the woman comes on "the time allotted for you to dial.." and my computer crashes.Going back to the beginning here. Is this a new modem? What type? Has it been tried in another machine with success so that we know it is not just modem trouble? |

Solve : Editing template pictures? |
|
Answer» I have been building web pages for a short time using Dreamweaver. I found several templates that I would like to use but they all come with .jpg and gif files that seem to be from either Painshop or Photoshop. Each picture has "Mydomain.com" or some text in the picture that requires change. If the background is a solid color then I can cut and fill to same MATCHED background and put in my own text. HOWEVER a good many that need change have a complex background like a scene or person which I am unable to change. I have Paintshop and not Photoshop which may be needed. It would seem that maybe these pictures may be done in layers and save as such and require different SOFTWARE to be able to work on separated layers. |

Solve : Edit text file trough PHP? |
|
Answer» Hellow, if($_REQUEST['submit'])I've only recently discovered how that doesn't work. The handling of "submit" buttons varies between browsers and is not guaranteed. If the submit button is the default action on the form, and rather than press the button, the end user hits "enter", the form is submitted without the button being clicked. Many browsers will ONLY send the submit/value pair, if the button has been clicked. Therefore, to test whether a form has been submitted, it is much better to include a hidden form element that contains a name/value pair that you check for. The hidden element will always be sent with the GET/POST variables. Quote $post_data = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."root to text file here";DOCUMENT_ROOT is not very portable, since its handling seems to varying according to the O/S PHP is installed on. Quote $data = fopen($post_data, "r"); Very bad indeed - no checking for special characters, no parsing of HTML, etc. Could end up with a very screwed up edit page. Quote <textarea name="post" cols="35" rows="15">{$read}</textarea> The "{}" syntax can be specific to a templating system. "" is recommended. Quote Then, to have the .txt file show up on your website, simply use <? include("filename.txt") ?>The "" short form is not guaranteed, and depends on php.ini SETTINGS. For maximum portability, you should always use "". |

Solve : Loading/Progress bar.!? |
|
Answer» Will inserting a Loading/Progress bar into a Web-page make any difference to how long the page takes to load. ??Why would you want to do that? Browsers already have their own progress bar. yes.. true, but I read somewhere that if you insert one in your page, images ett load at the same time, whereas sometimes you have to wait for images to load one at a time seperately. I was just wondering if there was any truth in this... Take a look at this: A Simple Web Progress Bar... or Google for more hits using the search phrase progress bar in web page, or something similar. Well no, not my web,.. but yes, that is the issue. .. thanksmmm soybean, that link is very interesting, and I will have a more in depth read of it later,.. but I think I will take the advice of you and a lot of the experts on here.. KEEP IT SIMPLE thanksThis would presumably run in javascript, which places a load on the browser and therefore would slow it down (the browser).thanks guys Talisman, you acknowledged that underlying issue here that parts of your page shift around before the images finish loading? In other words, if you have text on certain parts of the page and one or more images on other parts of the page, the text will appear first since it downloads faster than images and, depending how you created your HTML coding, the text gets pushed around when the images load into the page. If this is so, you can control this by using HEIGHT and width attributes in the appropriate HTML tags. This way, the browser knows that the page layout includes images of certain dimensions and it will reserve SPACE for them even before the images are fully DOWNLOADED. This prevents the shifting around mentioned above.Firstly,.. I do my Web-pages in FrontPage 2002, and not with Notepad HTML, .. I havn't noticed text paragraphs or such moving about,.. but some images load seperately, and Hover buttons seem to take the longest to load. I suppose waiting a few seconds is a small price to pay for a web. :-/ |

Solve : JPEG files? |
|
Answer» I am taking over my website shortly from my webmaster. He has used many files and converted them to jpg format, and seems to be unwiiling to give up the original files. Is there any way to edit jpg files???You should be able to save them to your hard drive by right clicking on them and selecting Save Picture As. Then, you can edit them with any photo/image editor. MS Paint, which is part of all WINDOWS computers, can be used for simple photo editing. If you have no other photo editing programs, try a popular freeware program called IRFAN View.Most of the files are not specifically pictures, bute text, such as a menu..Is there any reason not to convert those menus to actual text? Do you really want to have to modify or create a new image file to update a menu? I just don't want to re-invent the wheel. Some parts of the menu have changed, so you are saying to just enter it as text?Yes, that's generally the preferred way to create "text" menus. The only reason for creating an image just to display text is to prevent someone from easily copying text. Using an image also makes creating links to the menu more complex since it may require a technique called image mapping. In other words, you must mark different parts of the image for different hyperlinks. Make sense? Also, why make your web page file unnecessarily large by using an image where text will SUFFICE? The word, text, takes four bytes if coded as text. If it's displayed within an image, it will take many more bytes. |

Solve : Proxy Servers and AIM? |
|
Answer» Hi this is my first TIME posting. I was hoping for some help. I am currently at my university that uses a proxy server that does not support AIM. AIM is my only way to communicate with my family right now without spending alot of money. If someone could help me by telling me a way to bypass the proxy or configure AIM properly that would help alot. I have tryed to configure it but never successfully. it also prevent me from starting any application except web browsers. I am a member of the application orb and it no longer connects on my computer. Also sightspeed does not work. If there is a way around this i would be very happy.You have at least TWO options: AOLExpress and IMCourier. They're slightly different in the way they work. CHOOSE the ONE that suits you best.well yes that works fine and dandy except it solves only one problem. AIM works with express however nothing except web browsers can CONNECT to the internet still.You may have to settle for webmail. Why not talk to your university's I.T. department about this? They may have some useful suggestions. |

Solve : Background image moves? |
|
Answer» I designing a webpage for a friend at www.isaacjohnlewisart.com . The problem I cannot resolve is that the background image and the text do not stay syncronized. I have tried putting the background image in a table and fiddled a lot with it to no avail. I guess your on a amacNope. Quote At least in windows it lets you navigate through all the pages.No. Possibly you don't appreciate what I'm saying. Your uploaded page is incorrect. The first link for example, to Havana seen and heard: the section of HTML within your document SAYS this: Code: [Select]<a href="file:///C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\gabriella%20klein\My%20Documents\My%20Webs\My%20Webs\Havana%20Seen%20&%20Heard.htm">You see that "file:///C:\Documents..." bit? That is looking for the linked page on a hard drive. And since the index page is loaded on my computer, when I click the link, it LOOKS on my hard drive. Yes it will WORK for you - because it finds the page on your hard drive. No use for anyone else. You need to publish the entire site to the web. FrontPage confuses this issue. Yet another reason why budding web developers should seriously consider using a different design tool, plus a decent FTP program.I've used FrontPage in the past and I can't disagree with Rob's view of it, although I believe the FrontPage 2003 is better than older versions as far as not putting a lot of FrontPage specific code in the HTML files. But, joeaverage, you're clearly doing something wrong. FrontPage, if used properly, would not have put references to your hard drive in your final HTML files. So, if you're going to use FrontPage, then it seems you do not a good reference book to help you learn more about it. I did not try to digest your entire home page HTML file, but it appears to have a lot of clutter, making it much larger than necessary. I mean, really, your home page is not a complex page. And, I know that FrontPage does not generate all of that if properly used.Thanks dude, I am looking into it. It has been a while since I have used this program. Lionel |

Solve : Best, secure forum?? |
|
Answer» I was using a phpbb which allowed someone to hack into my website and then into my server which cost me thousands of dollars. So I'm looking for a forum that's more secure and doesn't allow people to easily hack into it :-/ Well, there's a lot more to it than just that.Go on, we like stories. Quote Forums with open source are easier to hackOnly from a certain point of view. Code examination is just one tool for detecting weaknesses. Open source software's major strength is that the source code is available - this means that MORE people examine the code, and the security holes are not only spotted, but plugged. Certainly faster than the security holes in - oh, say, Windows, plucking some other software out of the air entirely at random... I'm not persuaded that the problem doesn't lie with your host. Quote It cost me that much in fines from the server that hosted me. The hacker came after me through my forum and froze the entire server effecting over 300 other websites. I know the people involved with the hacking so I'm going to try and make them pay for the damages, but the case it still pending.Did you attempt to verify the legal right of the hosting service to assess fines against you? Does your agreement with them address such matters? Did they provide the phpBB forum software for you to install? Presumably, having a forum is clearly stated by them as one of the benefits of using their service. Right? So, doesn't this make you wonder about their legal right to assess fines against you? I would have guessed the impact of such a hacking occurrence would have been born by them, not any customer who is merely used the normal services provided their accountholders.I installed the phpbb, the hosting doesn't come with it. The hacker and his supporters made threats to hack the forum in posts on the forum. They weren't taken seriously until it was too late. So poof goes my forum along with all the sites on the server. Some were damaged to the point of having to be completely redone. A lot of people suffered because a couple of immature kids couldn't get my admin, who I left in charge while I went away to school, to allow them to post a image I banned them from using like 6 months prior. There should be a fine. But they should pay for it.I still disagree. The security of a web server is the responsibility of the company providing that service, NOT the people who USE that service. I work for an ISP - we host thousands of websites. If one of those websites caused an insecurity that wiped out all the other websites, our customers would be suing us (not the hacker and not the owner of the particular website), and quite FRANKLY they'd be right to.Well, I'm not really worrying about the fine. I'm more worried about not letting the hackers get away with what they did. I'd be better off on a dedicated or virtual dedicated server, but I can't afford either right now. Even if there was no fine, I still feel bad because of all those other people who had to suffer and lose money because of something stupid that orienated from my forums. And I really wouldn't want to put those people through that again. The hacker already returned to my site after I got it back up and running, bragging on my Cute News comments section about what he did. So I know he'll return to my forums once I make a new one. That's why finding a more secure forum is something important to me.report him to your web host give them a link to what he said and why is this hacker attacking youIf you have a broadband connection to the internet and your forum is not too busy (bandwidth), you could consider hosting the website from your own server...I don't have a computer that could stay on to be used as a server. Actually, right now, I don't have my own computer. I'm borrowing someone else's. My computer had a strange death the day before my site got hacked. This is just not my year... Why I got hacked is still puzzling to me. It's a long story, but basically there were three members on my forum who didn't like the way it was run and didn't like the rules I put down and when they got in trouble for breaking those rules, they sought revenge. Apparently they think they can make people "conform" to their ways of thinking. At least that is what the hacker said on my site after I got it back up and running.For some more information, I asked some of the creators of YaBB and some of the COMMUNITY members of the YaBB forum the question of open source vs. closed source... Here's what they had to say http://www.yabbforum.com/community/YaBB.pl?num=1159560197/0 remind me NEVER to get a forum on any future website plans! Go Rob, Go Rob !!lol forums are good its that you need a nice sercure server |

TIA unlovedwarriorIs your site running PHP?nay.. i dont know anything about PHPIt is difficult to handle mail in a spam-proof way uless you have the possibility of server-side scripting. You don't have to know any PHP - the question is whether your web host provides it. If not, we can use a FAIRLY simple form to fire up the end user's mail programs, but even with an obfuscated email address, it is still theoretically POSSIBLE for the spambots to pick your email address off your web page. Personally, I could NEVER do this client-side, and ONLY server-side. What say you?ummm.. i think they support php, cuz thats what my FORUMS are phpbbYou may want to first see if your ISP has something already setup that you can place on your web page to do this for you. Often many ISPs will have scripts already setup for their members to handle mail forums to help prevent issues that could arise if you created your own mail SCRIPT. However, if not available you could do this with a PHP script or a Perl script. There are several mail scripts available both in PHP and Perl that are capable of doing this for you. |

Solve : Search Engine query? |
|
Answer» Back again. A QUICK question. My website begins with graphics at the top. I have PUT descriptors and keywords etc into the head HTML. Google has picked up pieces of the first stretch of text, which is not what I wanted. If I put 'alternate' text under the graphic at the top, would that register OK with the search? Thanks.....Google is a law unto itself. You cannot determine what Google will index; their POLICIES can (and will) change without warning. This is partly to defeat search engine spamming. The best you can do it make a page LAYOUT that is logical for all users - inluding those who are vision impaired. Think about it: blind FOLKS use screen readers, and these rely on alt tags, amongst other things (how else do they know what pictures are?). Whether or not Google's cache will change as a result of what you do to your page, you should use alt tags anyway. |

Answer» so, uh, how do I get my html in my MAC text editor to show up correctly in the Internet Explorer Browser??
Fine - if you SAVE that as plain text with a file name ending in '.html' (or '.htm', if you must) that should display okay in IE. There's nothing wrong with the code, but I suspect there might be something wrong with the way you're saving it. A word processor for example is not the right tool for this job. >NVu< would be the best thing for you, I suspect. There's a Mac version. |

Answer» At the top of my home page I've put my website title, followed by a subtitle that I'd like to APPEAR directly beneath it. Each has been assigned a different style (title is large, bold and in caps, while the subtitle is smaller and in italics). At present I've got them in the same cell separated by a PARAGRAPH (return). |
