I'm using windows XP and having trouble connecting to the internet. I had a connection through a router, but after a SHUTDOWN it suddenly no longer had a connection. The icon in the network connections that says internet has disappeared and I can't get it back. I've tried the connection wizard, the router setup disk, and reloading windows. I've tried EVEN system restore, but it SAID that no system changes had occured. Any assistance is greatfully APPRECIATED. Please EMAIL me. I'm using an alternate computer for now.

hi.

i build some internet site & i want to put some links that send ping to SERVER in my workgroup & BACK Results if the server is up or down (or just if the server is alive)
i cant find Solution to this problem.

pleas.....Try http://dnsstuff.com. You can view the source code and make a form. Set the form action to the form actions for the same things they do.Hi cFire,

I would suggest smthing like visualroute from visualware


http://www.visualware.com/If by chance you are running a webserver on the other machines, you could do something like:

http://othermachine/image.png" border="0" ALT="Othermachine STATUS" onerror="this.onerror=null;this.src='/offline.png';">

That way, when the other server is online, it will grab the image.png located on that server (just have it be a small image that says "online") But when the server is not up, an error will happen, and it will pull the "offline.png" off of the current server. Optionally, depending on your NETWORK connectivity, you might could CHANGE the path to the online image to file://\\machinename\share\image.png in the event that you didnt have a webserver running on the remote machines.

hi,
how can we scroll the text. I know that it can be scrolled using marquee. But with it, in loop, next instance of the text comes when first one is entirly out of view.

I want the continous scrolling. How to do it?

Thanks in advanceYou're looking for a Javascript ticker. There's plenty of sites that offer these; this site seems to have a pretty decent selection.thanks, but STILL it doesn't provide the thing that i want.
In marquee, second instance comes when first one is out of sight while i want it to get when first one is still scrolling.Well, I have seen it done, and I'm sure it was with Javascript. Just keep searching these kinds of sites and you MIGHT get lucky.

Depending on what this marquee is for, there may be another METHOD. If you have a decent photo-editing PACKAGE installed, you may have a GIF animator, and you might be able to get a similar effect. Ditto for Flash files, though they generally need more advanced SOFTWARE to make.

This method may be just what you want (if this is for a heading or other permenant feature) or it may be totally useless (if it needs to be updated every day).

Hi, I'm editing a flash animation for a Php Nuke design, for my web site. I'm only MISSING one font I need. If I don't have it, the text on the animation can't be seen perfectly. The font name is : Redleader. Help me find it please. ThanksA google search of the term "Redleader" turns up nothing REALLY that useful. I do know of a site (www.identifont.com) that allows you to find certain fonts.

Again, it's search engine turns up nothing. However, there is a section which asks you a series of questions about how the font looks, which often finds what you need. Try it and you may find a font similar to this myterious "Redleader"...Bear in mind, if the user also doesn't have the font then it won't be displayed PROPERLY. You'll have to provide the font for download.If it's a Flash animation, it shouldn't MATTER. Normally when you export it to an SWF it saves the font as induvidual shapes instead.My bad.. my eyes missed the 'flash'.I used to do that all the time... got me into God knows how many flame wars due to simple misunderstandings!

hi

how can we know that given .WAV file playing using embed tag is completed or not. And what are the PROPERTIES and events related with .wav file.

One more thing, http://www.phpfreaks.com/javascript_manual/page/li...
says that embed.play can take two parameters while that doesn't WORK in IE.

So TELL me how can we change the src dynamically in embed tag. as
document.embedname.src='something.wav'
doesn't work in following code. it still plays the online.wav



function playSound()
{
document.guitar.src='ring.wav'
self.document.guitar.play()
}

function stopSound()
{
self.document.guitar.stop()
}





Play Wave file






Continous Play

I am working on a website for a client who needed me to EMBED excell spreadsheets in a few pages. I have no experience with excell so he simply gave me an object tag containing the spreadsheets to copy and paste. Everything works FINE except users with Office 2003 cannot view the actual speadsheets. They recieve an error message stating "To use this Web page INTERACTIVELY, you MUST have Microsoft® Internet Explorer 4.01 or later and the Microsoft Office Web Components." I don't even have excell on my computer and I can view the spreadsheets just fine. The settings on my client's pc are corrrect but he cannot view the excell becuase if Office 2003. We KNOW this is the problem because every other PC in the office pulls up the spreadsheets just fine. Is there anything I can add to the code that would enable all users to to view the spread sheets.?I am tottaly baffled because I don't understand the object tag to begin with. If there is anyone who can help I would appreciate it.

I have produced a website for a local group I belong to. It uses frames: the left one contains a menu of links to other pages; the right hand one contains the current page. The menu frame should stay in place all the time.

When I run the code off-line, it all WORKS perfectly. Several friends have tried the site and it works OK for them. When I visit the site on-line, both frames appear for the home page. When I select a link, the menu frame dissappears. I do not have problems with other similar websites.

Our site is:
www.derby-u3a.org.uk

This site was my first (and only!) attempt at html code.
I would much appreciate any help anyone can give.

Hi peter101

I'm able to VIEW your website correctly. I'm using IE6.

U got the code fixed? Ur code looks ok. If u STILL got problem, it might be your browser doesnt support frames or do frames disabled.Looks ok to mepeter101.....Try deleting your temp and temp inter net files .....then hit your refresh icon and look at it again ......with your browser. I just had a look and it seems ok to me ( using IE 6 ) . I also opened it up in Frontpage ......looks ok there as well . I note that your "About us " link isnt active.

let us know

dl65 Thanks to all for looking at my problem. It seems that the trouble is with my browser SET up - which is a relief!

I run IE6 with XP home.

SKy....I cannot find any setting to enable/disable frames. I went to tools>ADVANCED and reset to its default, but it made no difference.

dl65....I have cleared the temp internet files and also run Internet Sweeper, which clears other internet related files (including hidden), and refreshed, but still no joy. Thanks for pointing out that 'About us' doesn't link. It is in fact supposed to be a heading. I think I'll change its colour or font to make it stand out.Hi Peter101,

Actually I have not heard of any broswer that can toggle between frames On and Off. But I do heard of broswers that do not support frames, and thus got problem displaying frames.

Sorry, I don't mean to be misleading.

Anyway glad u got your proble solved! : )SKy, you can disable frames using Opera. The option is buried in the preferences. I'm not sure, but I seem to remember that option in version 5 - I'm at version 7 now.

Just thought you'd like to know...

I built a NEW home page for my web SITE ( www.adobecreek.com ) using FRAMES with a menu on the BOTTOM. On most computers it looks fine but on some it does not all FIT because of the resolution of the computer screen (I think). What is the fix for this.1) Scan for the users resolution then build seperate sites for each and display the appropriate one.
2) Put your menu on top.
3) Don't use frames.

i NEED to KNOW how to get back the adresses on the TOOLBAR after they have been earased.

Hey, everytime I try and get online I have to use dial up. (LONG STORY) anyways when i try and get on, it starts to dial...and it starts off FINE, but then theres this really loud NOISE and it just goes on. Loud, long beep sound. Anyone have any advice? Thanks! I think that's the modem handshaking (talking to the modem on the other side) MAKING the sounds. I imagine they stop after a minute and you can happily surf. Good ol dialup.try dsl or cable. LOL

For some reason I can't GET all of my links to follow the colors specified in the BODY tag. Can someone help me?

If it helps, I am using the composer that comes with Netscape 7.1.Use StyleSheets. It's easier to keep track of and more compliant.The HTML that you are using is not what we would call industry STANDARD. It will work but may cause problems. Try FRONT PAGE if u need a web builder program or look online at the free html help sites, CUT n paste standard html code for colors and such with hex values. You R page is very small and doesn't need much so the online sites should help out.

Hello. I am hoping someone can help me. I am not new to web desing using Front Page, but am new to using Image Composer when using templates from someone else. I want to take a template and edit and add things to it, but FP doesnt allow you to do this right on the template. So I was told to use a graphic program. So far Image Composer is working for me (the only one I have), but when I import and insert it into FP it now comes up all fuzzy and you can see the dots (pixels maybe?) on the whole page. It looks horrible. Also, I want to put things in tables because it makes things a LOT smoother when people view SITES but with Image Composer it doesnt have that option like FP does and also other things like the components like a marquee that I want to include on my webpage. I already have a website but am trying to update it and make it look a lot nicer, but am not skilled at doing it with anything other than just the info on FP. If there is anybody who can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much in advance.
Sincerely,
PenneRighty, by the SOUNDS of things the images in question are JPEG images. One rather nice feature with JPEG's is that you can compress them, reducing the filesize and thereby reducing the time it takes to load.

The problem is that if you increase compression, you decrease image quality. This sounds a little bit like what's happening here.

To solve this, you'll need to rummage around in Image Composer for a way to adjust the compression. I can't help you much more than this as I don't use that app (never heard of it until now, to be honest). My first bet would be to search the Help files...

For the second part of the question, it appears to me that you are immensly confused at the difference between Frontpage and Image Composer.

Frontpage is for making webpages. Image Composer, by the sounds of things, is for making or editing pictures. IC won't have OPTIONS for tables, marquee's etc because that's not what it was designed for.

If you want to put this picture on your webpage, you'll need to SAVE the image(s), and then use FP to insert the image(s) into the page.

I hope that helpspenne.......Image composer.....is exactly what the name suggests.....it's designed to manipulate images and comes with GIF animator. I use image composer to change the format of some images from what they are into a jpeg .......or whatever I want or to animate gif images. ( it works well ). If you want tables or marquees .......use Front page it will do all that .
If you have templates you want to use or alter......copy them into Front page make the changes save them into the root directory and its there to use whenever you want.


Hope this is some help

I am looking for assistance with creating a bacth file that will auto RUN a WEB page from a CD Autorun.inf

http://www.ashzfall.com/products/autorun/

Thanks,
CONOR Callahan
President, ComputersNOWA seperate program really isn't necessary. You can manually code an autorun.inf file for yourself in Notepad. Just type:

[autorun]
OPEN=YourFile.exe

and save it as autorun.inf. (you'll need to put it in quotes in the Save As box, or it will save as autorun.inf.txt).

A SMALL word of caution: you can only autorun executable files, ie files with "*.exe" or "*.pif" extensions. You could run Internet Explorer and pass the file location as a parameter, but this would only WORK if people have said browser installed in the same directory.

Mind you, most people don't change where IE is installed, so it should work for most users

I have this problem with PHP. I installed it today, and it says the installation was sucessful. When I enter a script like , nothing shows up. Please help!At the risk of being incredibly PATRONISING, have you also installed server software, such as Apache or IIS?

If you are running Apache server, you'll NEED to manually edit the "httpd.conf" file for PHP to WORK. Open it in Notepad or another editor and PUT the following in the script alias section (search for "ScriptAlias" without quotes to find it.)

ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

You will probably have PHP and Apache installed, but neither of them knows the other exists.

Edit: Just noticed something else that might be causing this. You are using the shortened version of the PHP tags, and these might not be enabled.

The proper (recommended) way of opening and closing PHP scripts is with:

php
echo("Hello WORLD");
?>

Try that. If it works, either use it or read the PHP Manual (www.php.net) to find out how to enable Short Tags.

Can anyone tell me if there's a way to "name" your browser window when making a website? (note that I'm not reffering to the title)

When you click a link on my website a popup COMES up with a bunch more links on it. When you click a link in the popup, I want the linked page to show up in the original window that the popup came from, and the popup to remain there. Kind of like a detached navigation bar.

I figured if I could name the window, I could use to do what I want, but I don't know how or even if this can be done. Can anyone help?TARGET="self"Sorry, I meant I want it to target the original window, target=self would make the link appear in the popup.Hi Adam Josiah,

I tried to do the same thing before, but could not get it done.

I have not seen it done in any other website as well, thus I strongly believe that it cannot be done in html. Maybe advance javascripting is needed, but I just couldn't control the original window from the NEW pop-up window.

I SUGGEST you to look for alternatives.Don't think it can be done with HTML. If there is a way to do it, I think it will be listed SOMEWHERE on this Site:

http://www.w3schools.com/default.aspAlright thanks for the advice, if anyone does stumble on javascript that i could use to do such a thing, the script would be very much appreaciated, thanks again.

I want my iframe to expand to the full height of my page. I guess simply making the iframe's height to equal 100% doesn't work, is there any other WAY? (I'm pretty sure I've seen an example of this before, but I dont know where)Oh and is there a way to make iframes transparent?Hi Vanessa,

Perphas u can tell us what u are trying to achieve, and we can suggest another way. COZ I THINK iframe is not make for such function and thus don't have height-100%. Also iframes are by default transparent, pls explain ur 2nd qn.

iframes are for EMBEDDING another html file in your webpage. Usually it's a small SECTION and whereby the you want the file to be updated from another file/place

Alternatives: frames, tables...

When I try to check my email on hotmail just BEFOR the page finishes loading up i get REDIRECTED to a search engine everytime.... how the *censored* do i fix this... i u know how i would LOVE to know... thank youThis is not a Web Design ISSUE but RATHER you should take a look at the sticky in Viruses.

...copy/steal things from my page?There's really nothing you can do. Just keep an eye out and if you catch someone stealing/copying then report them and make sure EVERYONE knows.Actually, I think it's best you use a code disabling right clicks on your page (there are various ways to do this), that at least stops many copycats. Of course, there are other ways besides right clicking to steal...and those you can't prevent sry! :-/Personally, I hate those anti right click codes. I can't save anything or copy anything when I'm too lazy to use keyboard shortcuts. Sometimes I LIKE to see the properties or the source. Source codes can actually TEACH people. I have never stolen any code though. I always code myself.

Conor Callahan
President, ComputersNOWHi! have you ever hard of HTML Encryption or HTML decode? you can find them on the internet, but you have to BUY though.... it can stop people from copying your codes, i am not sure about pictures... nothing it is impossible....Its like putting a lock on a door. It will only serve to keep HONEST people honest. Just as a lock will not stop a determined CROOK, a savvy user can steal your code and pictures.Yes, there are scripts that prevent you from right clicking pages, but on most Windows™ keyboards, there is a key right next to the right Ctrl button that does the same thing as a right click, and the script doesn't prevent that.

Frankly, I don't care if someone tried to steal my images. It just means the pictures are really good.

Hi, over the last year i have taught myself HTML to build a family website, now my website is almost complete and i need to put it on the web, i want a low cost host and my own domain, unfortunately there is not alot of reading material available on this and stil don't know what everything means, its all jargon to me! I need to be able for people to complete my forms, i havent used frames and i have spent ages looking for the right host, could someone please help me with my specification and to also maybe give me some good hosts that they have experienced! I probably look really stupid but would someone please help meAre your forms HTML or are they PHP or CGI? If they're basic HTML then you should be able to use one of the many free hosting systems LIKE.. hrmm.. Yahoo I think is one, OH! Geocities is the other big one. The free guys like to put a graphic or advertisement on your site but if you can live with that then you're cool. If you don't have enough room on the geocities, get several accounts and have different sections of your site on their own account then just link from 'site' to 'site'.Regardless WHETHER your forms are CGI, PHP or PERL, I can also provide free hosting for you.

Like Geocities/yahoo or whoever else that offers free hosting, I also require an advertisement, but I require an opening page that says - sponsored by.... and then I place NO OTHER ads on your site.

Send me a message if you're interested.

If ANYONE can help I would appreciate it.
Thanks!WHOEVER you purchased the name from, you'll have to tell them to associate it with your site addy.

How do you make the HTML code to show on your website, but not the result?I don't fully understand your QUESTION but this is a good site for HTML

http://www.w3schools.com/default.aspHi Stephaine,

u can use a string of characters that represent the <> TAGS so that the broswer will not READ the tabs as code:

use &AMP; l t ; instead of <
use & g t ; instead of >

example:
the tabs < html > should appear as in your webpage.I think you can imbed the code within blah tags too.

Hi!,

I have searched very long to a working html or javascript code for a random background on my website.
My website uses frames as you can see. Please take a look at my website>>

http://v4.livegate.net/sjkastronomy/home.html

I want a random background in the navigator bar at the LEFT HAND side.

As you typ in http://v4.livegate.net/sjkastronomy/image1.jpg
in the browser, the background is displayed. I want that background and 9 others, randomly displayed on that navigator bar.

I already have put a code on my website, as it was told to do >>
http://www.groan-zone.net/jscript/random.html

When I install this code on my website (offline), it works!
I used this code between the tags:





and this code in stead of the tag





When I upload the panel.html, with the installed code, I does not work.

I also tried to change the code as you can see here:
((with the full image adress behind the images "http://v4.livegate.net/sjkastronomy/"))





But it still does not work!

Can somebody please help me??

I searched very long for the code, but I still COULD not find it. I think it does not work, because my website uses frames. But I don't know and could not fnd the proper code for it.

Hi!,

I have found the solution. THANKS for everybody reading this topic. For other people, sharing the same problem, you can see what you have to do with a random background javascript code, when your website contains frames.

This is the code you must USE between the tags:


if (parent.frames.length==0)
window.location.replace("index.html")


onload = function() {
// set up an array of the images
images = new Array("image1.jpg", "image2.jpg","image3.jpg","image4.jpg","image5.jpg","image6.jpg","image7.jpg","image8.jpg","image9.jpg","image10.jpg");
rand = Math.floor(Math.random()*images.length); // choose a random number, between 0 and the length of the array -1
img = images[rand] // set img to the random image's src
document.body.style.background= "url("+img+")"; // set the background image
}

I have the need to OPEN a small window as part of a counter mechanism. I have written a sample page (www.needymeds.com/counters/page_one.html) that has the link (AD2). That opens a page with a counter (counter1.html). I this page stays open only for a short time - as I want it to. However, there are two things I want to happen.

One is for the counter page (counter1.html) to be as small as possible. Two, when this page closes, I want to go to another page.

Any assistance or suggestions welcome.

Thanks,

Richtry something like this..
Code: [Select]<a href="#" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('path.html','optionspop','toolbar=no,location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,STATUS=yes,resizable=no,width=750,height=405')"

with the corrosponding Code: [Select]</a>. The above is all one continuous line and no spaces between the ()

Of course your path will be very different and I'm using javascript as well. The MM_openBrWindow is a function.

As for your second issue. Use a onClose (similar to the onClick above) event to call another page.

Hope it helps
I tried the code you listed and had problems. Basically, it doesn’t take me to the page I want to go to. In the status bar I get a “Go To #” with no address. I left everything the same as you wrote it except replacing the path.html with the url of the page I want to go to.

Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

ThanksWell, I'm opening the page via a JavaScript function so by copying the code you'll fall short. You have to write the function yet. That bit of code was a example, not to be taken literally. Everything between the () are PARAMETERS sent to the function which uses all the variables and opens a new window based on what you SEND. You should still be able to put something similar in the onClick event of your link. The core of what you want is the height= and the width=.

Keep plugging away at it.Hi rsagall,
if u want to open a new AND control it's size, you need to write a bit of basic javascript. It shd be simple ENOUGH. Study the links below or google for 'open new window in javascript html'.

I have a picture of a castle and the image is pretty big so, instead of having a next page button, I wanna have then users just click on the door of the castle to go into the site... How do i CREATE the button, and furthermore how do i put it precise LY BEHIND the doord PART of the jpg. or at LEAST make the whole image a link to the next page.Make the image a imagemap with the door a link.

I'm using dreamweaver or straight html. I'm trying to have a DROP down box greyed out unless a user puts INFORMATION into a different field. Use a LISTBOX but MAKE the visibility hidden UNTILL the other field is filled out. Set the other field to make the listbox visibility=show (or something like that).

I have a table that I want to inclue single horizontal and vertical lines. (http://www.occmedcentral.com/guidelines/fatigue.shtml). I can get a single line around the perimeter of the table. How do I put them inside the table?

Thanks,

Rich SagallIf you have lines around the perimiter then you're using the border trait on the table. Do the same on each .I tried this with the command and it didn’t work - nothing happened. I put the same code in the command and it WORKED - but didn’t give the APPEARANCE I want. It put a BOX around the cell and all I want is a line across the entire row.

Thanks,

RichAhh I see. Why not just put in a horizontal rule that spans the table or put in a single cell with the width of the table and a HR inside?

i would like to add a splash page to my site

i need it to have a frame (or anything like that) at the top that will go to a random html page i have made that has a picture and text.

it then needs to redirect to my main part of my site (another html file.)

if anyone have TIME to spare, i need some help on making this work.I usually do my own homework but..

Make your splash page the index.htm.

Look at some of the other threads in Web Design for help on the frame. It's been discussed.

Redirect from the index to your main or whatever.

You're done.i know how to do all that. i need to know how to make a random page load in the frame.I'm going to assume that when you say random you mean from a predefined number of available WEBSITES and not truly random like www.xBi3!.html (characters chosen randomly by my fingers).

If that's the case then I'd stard with a javascript array containing your chosen sites then on the onclick= event of your link point to the script and randomly pick one of the array elements.yes, by random i mean pages i have all ready made and are on my server.

can anyone help me on forwarding to another page, all i have found will open it in a new WINDOW. i need one of those things that SAYS you will be redirected in *blank* secs.Use the javascript and employ a timer. When the timer runs out redirect.

How do I GET IMAGES to show up using internet explorer? I get them when I USE mozilla. Can anyone HELP?

could any body help me find out why NETSCAPE SAVES zip files as .php . this causes me to not be able to UNZIP the packagesRegardless of what program you use, you should be given the option of what you WISH to save your files as and where you WANT to save them.

I THINK this may only work in IE.

Suppose I wanted to make a poll of who you think will WIN the next presidental ELECTION, how would I go about that?

I can make the buttons but I cant get the results to show and make it so you cant vote again.You'll never make it so I can't vote again. That's why online polls/petitions mean < 0. As for the rest.. you'll have to have a form with your buttons and a submit. After submission, tally the results and post them to the USER. You'll need a database to store your results. To at LEAST try and prevent a user from re-submitting, store a cookie on their system with some value, check for the cookie upon submission and if it exists, don't LET the submission continue.

Can anyone tell me how to centre-align a PAGE, and avoid a sideways 'jump' when the scrollbar appears due to some pages being longer than others?

I have used the 100% page width and placed a centred table within, but the movement is ruining the site.

thx so much tka....what web editor are you using ?


dl65 the perenial dreamweaver... but hand authoring most of the code. any ideas :-) thanks for your replytka....It seems to me that the page is still centered .
It's just when the navigation bar appears......it moves things over to the left ......if you check ,I'll bet the page is centred between the left side of the monitor display and the left edge of the navigation bar .....have you tried to drag your page margins over to the right a little ?

let me know or better yet send me the site address via email and I can look at it .

dl65
Hi again dl65

that's exactly what's happening! - if i drag the page window over to the right, the pages all align consistenly. But a user is unlikely to know this, and probably should not be expected to do so. Is there a fix to esnure that the page has a STATIC centered position REGARDLESS of whether the scrollbar is present or not?

I'm afraid the page is not ftp'd anywhere yet.

thanks again for your help tka :-/tka.....If you setup the page ie pull it over .......and I view it ...I will see it the way you set it up .......

hope this HELPS

dl65 tka......And by the way........Remember your page may not appear exactly the same in all browsers......for example if you were using say Explorer .....and you viewed it in Netscape ...it may appear slightly different.

dl65 hi again - I've tried setting the page widtht to 90% and 80% and aligning the parent table/td to the left. but as soon as the scrollbar appears the page jumps. When viewed in say safari, the problem disappears as the page height is larger and the page doesn't need to scroll... the pages are based around the same basic template, hense no wild construction variation.

I'm sure i'm not the first person to be frustrated by this little browser quirk?

is there anything that can be done apart from aligning everything to the left and losing the more elegant centre page position the page design was based upon?

thanks lots, tka:~

Maybe I'm missing something but.. why not specify the width of your page (pixel not percent)? If it's a graphic which is wider than the page, reduce the graphic. You could use a table with a specified width and put your text in there. What I like to do is create the page on 800x600 resolution and specify the width. Then I create a 'border' page for each side and that's my buffer zone for higher/smaller resolutions (the smaller res just sees the main while higher res sees the borders). Put it all together with frames.Another thing to try is with stylesheets.hi joleen

i'd rather avoid frames - but thanks for the suggestion. my page does indeed float in a 100% wide table, but the content/page itself is locked into a 800x600 inner table. It is this outer table which is causing the variation in position, based upon the presence of the scrollbar, or not... All pages are consistent (since all scroll) apart from the home page which I have made 800x600 for obvious reasons. It is this jump from the main page to the others which is frustrating, and basically unacceptable.... I'll try using div tags, but suspect the same thing may occur. help (&thx again) What about specifying both table widths in pixels and not percent? I prefer pixels as the size doesn't change from one format or resolution to another. If you go the route, don't forget to include your CSS. You could have something like..

#menu {
width: 100px;
border-left: 1px dotted #000000;
border-right: 1px dotted #000000;
border-top: 1px dotted #000000;
border-bottom: 1px dotted #000000;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
float: center;
margin-right: 10px;
}

Don't forget to class your s and adjust values as necessary.It is difficult for me to see where exactly the problem lies, but if you were going to follow Joleen's suggestion of adding pixel widths instead of percentage widths, you may also try something like this:

???Hello out there
Can anyone offer me any suggestions as to how I can make sure my images appear on my ftp space with AOL ?
I believe their servers allocated to members USE are a LITTLE flaky(un-reliable) is this correct ?
I am quite new to the world of HTML, and although my pages are successfully uploaded, it is hit-and-miss as to WETHER ALL the images will appear. I'm GUESSING that I can ask for the images upon loading, perhaps in the of the document ? But I don't know how to do this. Any ideas PLEASE ! :-/Some web hosts are rather picky about what characters are used in file names. It is quite common for capital letters not to be supported, so try removing any capitals in the file names.
I dont know about 'asking' for images you should just be able to use...

You could try pre-loading your images to an array in JavaScript but that would take some research on your part. I'd go with Metals tip.Usually it is not the case that the web HOST restrict which characters are allowed, but rather that the filename is case sensitive.

On Unix based web hosts, WORD, word and Word often means three different things, and on Windows based web hosts, it will not necessarily be interpreted differently.

Here is my suggestion:

(1) Check the filename's case.
Note the exact case of the filename. This is usually displayed correctly in Windows Explorer, depending on your setup, but, if it is not, you can check it as follows:

Either open a dos prompt and go to that directory and perform the DIR command and read the filename there (as Windows XP can "prettyfy" filenames in its display); or, you can rightclick on the file, choose properties, and read the filename there.

(2) Rename the file to something simpler
It is often possible to miss-spell a name such as
supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.jpg. Rather call it super.jpg, and make sure it is all lowercase letters.

(3) Edit your web page
Since your filename is now in lower case, make sure that you reference the file in your web page in lower case.

If this still doesn't work, I can edit the code for you.

I don't know what's wrong with my computer all of a sudden, but when I am looking for web graphics for my website, and I go to download them...they are always jpg's and gif's....(which is what I want)....they download to my computer hard drive as bmp's. How can I get the computer to recognize jpg's and gif's again? :-/
Thanks!!
snowflakeinpaWhen you do your 'save as' do you select .gif or .jpg?snowflakeinpa.......the image you are trying to D/L may in fact be in BMP format......What image software are you using.....You may have to use software to change the format to iether gif or jpg. If you are having a problem doing that .....Email me the image and I will change it to whatever format you wish .....( Unless as Joleen suggests you simply chose the wrong "Save as "
format.

hope this helps,

dl65 I am having the same exact problem and I don't know what to do! :-/ But it's not that they are all bmp's, I've tried saving gif's but it only shows up as bmp, and the only thing on the list to choose is bmp. I've tried saveing it as its name.gif, but it still doesn't show up as an animation, it will only show up as a gif, and I don't know what to do cuz it used to work for me, and then all of a sudden I can only get bmp's anymore, and it's not my software, I can view any format on my computer, it's just something wrong with IE or the save as thing, I don't know. Could it possibly be a VIRUS of some sort?Janie.....What operating system is on your machine.....?
So if you see a animated gif you like .....and you right click and select copy ......take it to your desktop and paste it ......that its in BMP ?

Have you recently updated from M/S ?

let us know...

dl65 Ok, thanks for answering me everyone...I am going to use this 'post' to answer to everyone who wrote. To Joleen....IF the option was there to save as gif or jpg, I would do it, but my computer is acting like Janie's...the only option I get is bmp's. To dl65...nope, the images I try to save are not bmp's, the graphic artist has them specified as gif's and jpg's, my computer just won't give them to me that way, just as a bmp. To Janie...mine is acting exactly the way yours is..even animated gif's will show up, but it won't be animated. AND, they always first show as bmp's. You are right about thinking it was a virus, cause I went to McAfee to run a free scan, and they FOUND the Reg/Seeker virus is in three of my folders or files in the C drive. I just don't have the money it takes to download their anti virus software or anyone else's till I get some money tomorrow (29th) or the 1st of June. !!!!! Thanks to all of you for your help...I appreciate it so much!!!! snowflakeinpaI have a Dell with Windows XP on it, I've always had XP on it. And I tried going to my desktop and pasting it, but pasting isn't an option.

And to snowflakeinpa.. I don't know what else it could be. I have spybot, ad-aware, and norton antivrus all on my computer, and I have about 14 files with adware that can't be deleted by any of them, so I don't know what to do. Hi again ......go here and let symantec security check scan your system ( it will find and remove ) Free.....
http://www.symantec.com/index.htm
scroll down until you see the symantec security check....its on the left ......click on the security link and then run the free online scan .....it should find and remove your bugs......

let us know

dl65 Which scan should I run, the security one or the virus one? Or should I run both of them? I started the virus one but it took an hour just to get halfway done and it really slowed my computer down and I have stuff to do, so I'll just try it again over night while I'm sleeping.......run the virus scan ...thats the important one ...
start the scan and let it run until it FINISHED .....dont be doing something else at the same time ...


dl65 Ok, well thanks for the help and EVERYTHING. I didn't run the scan though because I haven't found time to. But I unstalled MOZILLA on my computer and now I can save gif's. But I'll figure out how to fix this computer someday, I'm sure.. And thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

How are PAGES and pictures made to fade in or out when loading? Can this be accomplished through HTML or JavaScript code?Most likely it's JavaScript. I say 'most likely' only because I don't know the pages you're refering so it could be flash but I'd bet it's SIMPLE JavaScript.Yeah, there's a filter called the "alpha" filter (IE 5.5+ only) that allows you to change an images opacity therefore, with some simple js you could EASILY get a fade in and out effect for images (used mainly on onMouseOver and onMouseOut) ALTHOUGH Joleen is also right, that can more easily be done with flash, but it seems like a waste just to fade an image in and out.

thanks for the help,
MikeMethod 1: Pay someone to host your website. You'll have to upload your movie files to their server. Costs range greatly depending on the access you want, size of storage, and frills. Another factor is how much downloading you're going to get. For instance.. if the movies are only a few meg in size and only a few PEOPLE are downloading then you'll be fine, but if you have large movies and everyone and their uncle are downloading then you'll be asked to increase your bandwidth (increasing your cost).

Method 2: Have a spare computer with something like XP or Win 2000. Turn on the IIS fuctions (you'll have to do some reading up on this). Create your website and connect it to the 'net. Friends/family can connect to your system by typing in the IP ADDRESS of that computer. This method is nice since you're not renting space and you have direct access to when the info is available. One issue you may have is ensuring it's up whenever you want, hosting companies will have backup SYSTEMS in place to ensure your data is always available. Bandwidth is limited to your ISP.my movies are 30 sec clips taken with my digital camera, 7621 kb for instance. i've got four of them and maybe about 10 more to come within the next year or so. and there won't be many viewers, GENERALLY just a few people from a message board i visit regularly.
also i don't have another computer so i'll need a host. for this i don't know where to LOOK. any suggestions?
thanks for the reply.
MikeI'd check first with your Internet Service Provider. Mine offers 10 megs of free space per email address and I'm allowed (I think) 7 addresses so I could have up to 70 Meg of space which is huge for simple HTML and images/small movies. You could also try something like Yahoo or... hmm I've drawn a blank on the other that's very popular for free hosting, sorry. Do a search for Free Web Host or Free Internet Host.hey, i really good free host is www.web1000.com
you will be able to host your movies there

you need to know how to ftp and do basic html. if you dont know how, try a search on google or somthing.

Messing around with HTML5 and was looking for a way to get a small MP4 video to have the ability to click and play it locally. The test1.mp4 file resides in the same folder as the HTML file that calls to it. It doesn't error out and it shows what looks like the ability to click to play it but nothing happens when clicking to play the MP4 file.

I was thinking maybe that Firefox was missing a handler to play MP4 files, however if you go to the test1.mp4 file and right-click and tell it to open with Firefox it will then open full window to Firefox browser and play so Firefox does have the ability to play the file.

Curious if I have something wrong with the HTML as I copy pasted from online reference to tag and changed the file name to my test file or if its some security measure to prevent execution of a local MP4 file from when called by HTML. Or something else that is going on that prevents it from playing? Google searches on this subject just suggest that a codec may be missing but it cant be missing if able to play it through the browser via right-click and telling it to play through browser from file explorer. Attached pic is what it shows in the browser as if it attempted to load it but 0:00/0:00 so not loaded but INTERFACE to play it displays.

Here is the link to the reference I used for this: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/html5-video/

Code: [Select]<HTML>
<BODY>
<center>
<video controls>
<source src="test1.mp4" type="video /mpeg">
Your browser does not support the video element. Kindly update it to latest version.
</video>
</BODY>
</HTML>You know what, digging into this problem? Truly summarizes why I absolutely detest web development.

Anyway, your primary issue is that "video /mpeg" isn't going to be any mime type. video/mpeg maybe, but that's not a "standard".

video/mp4 is a "standard" type, but, chrome allegedly doesn't support it. Chrome, instead, supports it's proprietary webm "standard". (I love how they just throw the word standard around to describe stuff that doesn't actually work everywhere and therefore by definition isn't standard at all....)

Also, remember mp4 is a container format, but the support for mp4 is *only* for the actual codec. For EXAMPLE, most of my mp4 files are H.264, which seems to be unsupported. THe way of doing HTML5 video apparently is transcoding the file to seemingly every video format under the sun and include that as a source and crossing your fingers that the browser recognizes one of them. Double fun since some browsers will give up once they see an unsupported format, so you need to actually list them in a specific order- If the arbitrary stack overflow and similar posts are to be believed.

If I try to set up that H.264 MP4 like so:

Code: [Select]<video preload="auto" controls="controls">
<source src="IBMClone1985_edit.mp4" type="video/H.264">
Your browser does not support the video element. Kindly update it to latest version.
</video>
And try to open that in firefox, it doesn't even tell me it's unsupported. It shows me a video player box but doesn't let me start playing, not UNLIKE what you've described.

I should note, the reason you can open it directly is that when you directly open a video file in Firefox, it will not go through the HTML5 codecs and basically uses DirectShow directly (on Windows), which means it can then play codecs unsupported by HTML5. Quote

For hosting NEW ZEALAND companies should I get a hosting company in New Zealand?

thanks will there be noticeable LAG if server is in ANOTHER countryHi

There is no difference between a local host and off shore.

I have found there is no reasonably priced hosting in New Zealand and often they are sub hosting overseas anyway. Have you THOUGHT about hosting the sites yourself? this will keep your out goings down. A static IP and a fast fiber connection would be your only cost.

Greetings!

Since I got ADSL CONNECTION, not even one page from
Sweden won't load, those sites ending in .se

Why and any HELP to fix this problem?

THANK you very much in ADVANCE!


Seems it was the problem of my router.

I'll try to describe my problem with words first and then throw some code at you.

I am using Scriptaculous on my website to slide a small div left and right when the user CLICKS a link.
The code executes properly and I'm mostly very happy with it.
However, the function called to slide the div is interrupted by the link they are clicking loading. So it STARTS out sliding, but as soon as the link loads, it pops over to the final destination. It looks bad and I want the full slide to HAPPEN before the page even knows it needs to load another page.

As I said, I'm using Scriptaculous.

Here's the code to generate my menubar:

Code: [Select]<div id="menucontainer">
<div id="menunav" class="clear">
<ul>
<?php
$base="http://www.thomasrandolph.info/";
$num=count($tmpl->labels);
for($i=0;$i<$num;$i++)
{
$label=$tmpl->labels[$i];
$link=$tmpl->links[$i];

if($i==$tmpl->current)
{
$current='class="current"';
}
else
{
$current='';
}

if($i==0&&$current=='class="current"')
{
$current='class="currentleft"';
$slide="onclick=\"go_here('$base$link',0)\"";
}
elseif($i==0&&$current=='')
{
$current='class="left"';
$slide="onclick=\"slide_hor('joiner',-65);shake_it('content');go_here('$base$link',500)\"";
}
elseif($i==1&&$current=='class="current"')
{
$current='class="currentright"';
$slide="onclick=\"go_here('$base$link',0)\"";
}
elseif($i==1&&$current=='')
{
$current='class="right"';
$slide="onclick=\"slide_hor('joiner',65);shake_it('content');go_here('$base$link',500)\"";
}
print"\n<li>\n <a$current$slide>\n <span>$label</span>\n </a>\n</li>";
}
?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>

As you can see, I'm using a javascript function to go to the link instead of an href. The only reason I'm doing this currently is because I thought it would be easier to "pause" the browser before following the link if it were javascript.

Here's the javascript code that the menubar loads:

Code: [Select]function slide_hor(id, x)
{
new Effect.Move(id,
{ 'x': x,
y: 0,
mode: 'relative',
transition: Effect.Transitions.linear
}
);
}

function shake_it(ident)
{
new Effect.Shake(ident, {distance: 1, duration: .4});
}
and here's two small global functions that a few THINGS use:

Code: [Select]function go_here(loc, delay_ms)
{
pause_exec(delay_ms)
window.location=loc;
}

function pause_exec(ms)
{
var date = new Date();
var curDate = null;

do { curDate = new Date(); }
while(curDate-date < ms);
}
Finally, here's the page in the wild:

http://www.thomasrandolph.info

So in summary:
I need the sliding effect from Scriptaculous to FINISH it's motion before the link loads so that the animation is not interrupted.

Thanks
-rock

p.s.
The DELAY function just pauses the whole browser, including the sliding effect so it just causes a visible jump, too.I'm sorry I can't help, but I want to compliment you on writing and describing the problem in excellent detail, using a descriptive topic title, and including some source code to work with.

Because this post was so well done, do I have your permission to link to this in the "Please read first" post as an example?Haha, sure thing.

hi,
i'm trying to create a HTML page that allows user to fill in some fields in a form. once the user clicks the Submit button, the BROWSER will POST the entered fields to another HTML page for display.

is this possible to be done in HTML without having to create a script in the web server (or is it application server)? do i have to use JSP, ASP or others instead of HTML given the simplicity of this task? if so, how to do it? thanks!Most ISPS shy away from allowing USERS to put up asp/jsp. I'd try JavaScript. You could use something like..


Welcome Page

//Create CUSTOM page and replace current document with it
function rewritePage(form){
//accuulate HTML content for new page
var newPage = "\n\nPage for "
newPage += form.entry.value
newPage += "\n\n\n"
newPage += "Hello, " + form.entry.value + "!\n"
newPage += "\n"
//write it in one blast
document.write(newPage)
//close writing stream
document.close()
}



Welcome!

hi everyone,
I'm having a problem with html frame. Could anyone help me?
I have master page which has foloowing CODE inside :




Master













All these files are stored in corresponding path.
But when i open my master page by BROWSER i cannot see anything. It's just an empty page.Hmmm ...... know what - it is so long since I used frames I am having a job remembering it all. Just me but - went away from frames years ago - as they don't usually assist well with SEARCH engines. Prefer using a template approach and css etc.

Anyways - far as I can tell for now the syntax looks normal for a frames master page - and if you say paths are OK then not sure why things do not come up.

Might be worth building the page in increments - so leave out your columns pages and just set up your header - get that working, then add. Be worth also adding a message in case of folks who switch frames off.You need to get rid of , and .

Kinda hard to explain, but a HTML file with frames, like the one you have, doesn't have a body.
The individual html files that are loaded into the frames have a body.

My advice THOUGH: Stay away from frames, they are bad. Learn CSS and create the site in single page files.Well spotted re - had forgotten that!

It's that long since I used frames - if you needed proof!: Quote from: ChrisXPPro on August 01, 2008, 07:31:29 PM
