Solve : this problem stop me to run?

Answer»

hi
after learning html and cgi i ready to design my website.
now i have problem to make link with url (href="http://.....").
i can not use this type of links in my local PC.
some one say me test you website in your host and some one say test it in a web server in your local PC and create visual host(s) for more website.
i test it in iis and apache and make visual host but have problem and the links are not work.

please say me the correct way
thanks Just use:

<a href="C:\...\...\file.txt">A Text File[/url]

If the HTML file is in the same folder as the file you are linking to, use:

<a href="file.txt">A Text File[/url]The other thing which may be relevant - you will have to ''connect'' to your virtual server on your own PC initially - and that (after starting it up) will usually be using an IP number - it may be like - http://127.0.0.1/ then if you have your site build within a www folder - the site index page should come up with SOMETHING like this in address bar ..... http://127.0.0.1/mysite.com/ - mysite.com being a subfolder under the www folder and with its own index file.

If then inside that site build you have relative links it should run fine - tho absolute links can work if you already have some components on a server and address those with a full web url.

1753.	Solve : .html automated response query?
Answer» Hi. When SOMEONE comes on my site and submits any information, I'd like to create an automated email response to that which goes direct to their email address. How would I do this in HTML? Thanks!Im a complete rookie so Im gonna need ur help guys! Thanks in advance. Ive got this so far; [emailprotected]"> But it only gives me text box and a submit button. It will send the text to my nominated email address, which is good. But i also want to send an automated response to the viewer's address. how would i do this? Also, i tried the above code, and when i click submit, it OPENS up the internet connectin wizard. it wants me to set up an email address and email server etc. how can i get it to send an email directly to my (and the viewer's) email address without going through this step of setting up an email server? THANKS A BILLION PPL!!!You'll need to use PHP for that. Try this for the PAGE with the form: Code: [Select]<html> <head> <title>Mail</title> </head> <body> <form action="sendmail.php" method="post"> Name: <input type="text" name="name" id="name" /><br /> Email: <input type="text" name="email" id="email" /><br /> <input type="submit" /> </form> </body> </html> sendmail.php: Code: [Select]<?php $to=$_REQUEST['email'],"[emailprotected]"; $name=$_REQUEST['name']; $message="Thanksforusingourform!Thenameyouenteredis:$name."; $subject="MailForm"; mail($to,$subject,$message); ?> thanks for such a quick response. one more question: can i copy + paste the above php into MS Frontpage? or do I need another program? you can probably tell im really not familiar with this STUFF so any help would be appreciated. THANKS!See this video on pasting code into FrontPage. The video is not easy to listen to; the sound quality is fuzzy and the speaker has an accent. But, I think you will find it helpful. How to Copy and Paste HTML into FrontPage.You also need to make sure that PHP is installed on your server and that your server supports the mail() function. You may need to contact whoever hosts your site to find this out.Front Page doesn't support PHP, as it's not Microsoft!But, references can be found saying php can be put it a page developed with FrontPage. One paragraph on http://www.webworksite.com/tipsntricks.shtml says, "Using PHP with FP - To open .php pages in FrontPage 2000-2002 instead of a text editor, go to 'Tools \| OPTIONS \| Configure editors' and modify the file association to frontpg.exe. The server you publish to must have PHP enabled. FP 2003 is already set as the default editor for .php pages, along with many other types including .aspx, .xml, .shtml, and many others."

1754.	Solve : Advanced PHP Help?
Answer» Okay, I need a text box and a submit button. You enter a youtube link into the text box lets call this link 'A'. You then click submit. 'A' Will look SOMETHING like this: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=dxUXilGDzk8 When you click submit, the webpage needs to find "'/watch_fullscreen?fs=" within 'A'. And then get the rest after that for instance it needs to turn: Code: [Select]var fullscreenUrl = '/watch_fullscreen?fs=1&BASE_YT_URL=http%3A%2F%2Fuk.youtube.com%2F&vq=None&video_id=dxUXilGDzk8&l=194&sk=UipVJyQjldAVAUTftMXy7t5W_5dt_karC&fmt_map=34%2F0%2F9%2F0%2F115&t=OEgsToPDskJBx5h73eh0V0KNAiBqz_RF&hl=en&plid=AARdE3Ki_Rpaxi-sAAACgAA4AAA&title=Wiley - She Glows'; into: Code: [Select]=1&BASE_YT_URL=http%3A%2F%2Fuk.youtube.com%2F&vq=None&video_id=dxUXilGDzk8&l=194&sk=UipVJyQjldAVAUTftMXy7t5W_5dt_karC&fmt_map=34%2F0%2F9%2F0%2F115&t=OEgsToPDskJBx5h73eh0V0KNAiBqz_RF&hl=en&plid=AARdE3Ki_Rpaxi-sAAACgAA4AAA&title=Wiley - She Glows'; Now lets say the link it now has is called 'B'. It now needs to take 'B' and add "http://www.youtube.com/get_video?" to the start. Once it has done all of this it should give a hyperlink to something like this: Code: [Select]http://www.youtube.com/get_video?=1&BASE_YT_URL=http%3A%2F%2Fuk.youtube.com%2F&vq=None&video_id=dxUXilGDzk8&l=194&sk=UipVJyQjldAVAUTftMXy7t5W_5dt_karC&fmt_map=34%2F0%2F9%2F0%2F115&t=OEgsToPDskJBx5h73eh0V0KNAiBqz_RF&hl=en&plid=AARdE3Ki_Rpaxi-sAAACgAA4AAA&title=Wiley - She Glows' I will appreciate anybody who could make this for me, as I have no experience in PHP AT ALL! Thank You Very Much.I may have found a solution: http://www.virtuosomaster.com/tutorials/youtube-flv-grabber-script/ How would I set the php up, for exaple do i put it in the same webpage as the form, do I save it as html or php? I have uploaded this file with an extension of .php to my web host but nothing happens, could anybody help please. Code: [Select]<?php functionGrabVideo($url) { $CH=curl_init($url); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,true); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_USERAGENT,'Mozilla/5.0(Windows;U;WindowsNT5.1;en-US;rv:1.8.1.2)Gecko/20070219Firefox/2.0.0.2'); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true); $page=curl_exec($ch); if(!curl_errno($ch)) curl_close($ch); else $page=false; return$page; } if(isset($_GET['url'])){ $url=$_GET['url']; $url=trim($url); if(strstr($_GET['url'],"youtube.com")){ $youtube_page=GrabVideo($_GET['url']); preg_match('/watch_fullscreen\?fs=(.?)&vq=(.?)&video_id=(.?)&l=(.?)&sk=(.?)&fmt_map=(.?)&t=(.?)&hl=(.?)&plid=(.*?)&/',$youtube_page,$matches); if($matches&&isset($matches[1])&&isset($matches[3])){ Header("LOCATION:http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=$matches[3]&l=$matches[4]&t=$matches[7]"); } } } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html XMLNS="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Youtube Grabber Script</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <style type="text/css"> <!-- body { font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12px; } form{ margin:0; padding:0;} #url { font-size: 1em; color: #222222; background-color: #F8F8F8; width: 295px; margin: 0px 0px 4px 0px; padding: 3px; border-color: #333333 #CCCCCC #CCCCCC #333333; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; } .submit { background-color: #000000; height:22px; border:1px solid #666666; color:#FFF; font-size:12px; font-weight:bold; } p{ margin:0; padding:2px 0} --> </style> </head> <body> <form method="get" action="" name="form"> <input type="text" id="url" name="url" /><br> <p> example: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFrqKYwmhMc" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFrqKYwmhMc</a></p> <input type="submit" class="submit" value="Grab Video" /> </form> </body> </html> If you click on the http://www.virtuosomaster.com/tutorials/samples/youtube-flv-grabber.php.txt link it will take you to the complete page. I did note there was a line of space between the php closing tag and the following doctype line - I'd remove that space. If any file has tags then it will take the extension .php even if there is html mixed in. It is not at all uncommon to have both mixed in together. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ahhh - see you tried it. I haven't time to check this out right now but hopefully a php guru can have a look. Remove that line space I mentioned and - make sure file is .phpI took away that line, but it's very weird. I just get, for example: www.flvyoutube.com/youtube-flv.php turns into www.flvyoutube.com/youtube-flv.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fuk.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D-T_SryRAXuw and nothing happens.Outa my depth for now ... hope for other input.Thanks so far anyway. For your help on both topics.It is fixed, never mind it was just my crappy free host, thanks everyone. So - curiosity here - can you give a report on its function sequence - end result etc ... interesting to know the details.Sorry, I'm not sure how to do that, but please, take a look at this, I'm very pleased with what I have created, (with alot of help) http://ytflv.110mb.com/youtube-flv.phpLooks good One thing I'd change is that RATHER faint red text in the form field -- #FFD728 - might be better a bit darker. So - I assume this does the job as you want now?Thank you, and yes it works perfectly, thanks. Does this display properly in IE7, as I am using firefox, and just by chance I thought you might be using IE? Thank you.Just checked IE vs FF - pretty much same and main difference is text size - as is usual FF shows a bit larger but essentially they match well. I don't have Opera set up on this puter so couldn't check that. Field text looks way better. Thank you. and thanks for your help once again.

1755.	Solve : Web Page Design?
Answer» I recently took some online lessons in webpage design and have some knowledge of frames. In Frames one can target a LINK to a specific location on the web page (frame) by naming that frame. Is it possible to do the same thing in cells of a regular html tables by naming cells and not having to use frames. Thank you, eskay Not that I know of! Well not as you want I don't think. Best you might do is use named anchors which would at LEAST target a given row in a table but not I don't think a specific cell if you have more than one in a row - not that I have tried that but named anchors work by SCROLLING vertically so a row would seem best you can achieve. If a row was given in one cell content and called by http://www.yoursite/yourpage#rowone.html that could work and bring that row into view. IMO I do not think frames are good - I used to use them but they complicate things I feel and also do not help when it comes to SEO aspects (search engine optimization). If you really must use frames then I think another solution may be needed for what you want - kpac, any ideas?Yeah, ChrisXPPro has it RIGHT. Frames are not so great. I use them for my own use when I am too lazy to do it some other way. If you use and advanced tool like Dream weaver or what ever you do what you want with with templates that use CSS and all that stuff. That way you whole site has the same look and feel without the need to remember all the little details. If you want to pick something off of another site and put it in a table, you would want to have the permission to do it. Most often you want a picture or even a video. The sites that do that stuff give you the embedded code that you can stick into a cell as an object. Make sure the cell is big enough.On my site http://9pmgeek.com you will find a page that has many embeded videos in a table. Even though frames is considered 'old school' web design, it's still a format that is constant in webdesign. I think it's a good idea to be familiar with them at minimum, so when you encounter them you know what to do with them.

1757.	Solve : php print forbidden directory contents?
Answer» Just wondering if this is possible, i use the rack111.com webhost i have a free account and i couldnt find anyway to GIVE guests permission to access the folders individually , i chmod them all but only the files are accessible, for example.. http://aurai.rack111.com/upload/ wont show the directory contents , instead i GET 403 forbidden, i cant set the permissions for this.. so how can i work AROUND it?Use this script: Code: [Select]<?php $dir="upload/"; $files=scandir($dir); foreach($filesas$key=>$value) { echo$value; } ?> thanks kpac, it works.. Just one last thing i cant figure out, in the script you posted.. After echo $value i need to include ; So that it may print each filename to a new line.. <?php $dir = "upload/"; $files = scandir($dir); foreach($files as $key => $value) { echo $value ; } ?> But i cant get it working?? i know this should be simple but ive tryed it a few different ways without any success ??nevermind i figured it out , forgot the . thanks again Good. GLAD you got it working.

1758.	Solve : Forum in Freewebs?
Answer» Hi everyone, I made a website through freewebs (HTML mode) and I want to add a forum to the site. Can anyone recommend one thats COMPATIBLE with Freewebs? Thanks in advance According to http://members.freewebs.com/pages/features/, blogs and forums are among the features available to you from Freewebs. Have you looked to SEE exactly what they offer? Well most forums require the PHP mail FUNCTION, which in turn requires PHP Safe Mode to be off. Most free web hosters have safe mode on for SECURITY reasons.

1759.	Solve : Front Page Software?
Answer» Designed a web page and them we tested it with IE and Firefox looked great....BUT then have someone else test it with differrent display settings ..and the graphic boxed moved when reviewing the web site for both IE and FireFox.. How can we design the page so it doesnt matter if the screen display setting are differrent on other computers??? Rookie web designer - HELP! Thanks By "graphic box", do you mean an image or photo? What technique did you use to position the "graphic box"? Did you use tables?use a more "standards up to date" web design application... Front Page is kinda old and outa date especially with all the newer browsers.... Good Luck BTW see: Dreamweaver/MS Expression/etc...there are many othersYou have a point but I doubt he wants to buy Dreamweaver. I think the issue here can be solved without purchasing additional software. A reply from pauljacques to my question is needed.Moved to Web Design (if I actually move it to the right place this time, at least) I know a lotta folks like to build a window at 100% - but IMo this can lead to what is described. I tend to build with a wrapper or table constraint to 760 to 770 pix ... and within that position everything - this should normally mean that despite res settings on different puters, all will display the same. It is tempting these days in fact to build to a 1024 . and so constrain within maybe a 1,000 pix size but even now, I FIND there are people on 800x600 and no one likes to horizontal scroll! BTW - strikes me these days, Frontpage produces more problems than it solves! Much need to work within the generated code itself to try and avoid hassles if it REALLY has to be used.To add a bit to ChrisXPPro's COMMENTS or express the point using different words, if you're using tables for page layout, use fixed widths for table cells rather 100% width. That will prevent pages elements from shifting around when a different resolution or small browser window is used by your site visitors. Regarding ChrisXPPro's comments on FrontPage, I'm inclined to agree there, too. I used FrontPage extensively some years back but would not do so again. One freeware option, if you're willing to spend some time learning how is works, is KompoZer. I assume you're not quite proficient enough with HTML to code from SCRATCH but, if you are skilled with HTML, a freeware text editor that is much nicer to use than Notepad is Notepad++.

1761.	Solve : automatically page generate.,,?
Answer» can someone tell me.,. how to automatically generate a new PAGE in php.,. for example i have a lot of topic in my forum.,,. the 1,2,3....&GT;>> next.. page i mean.,., pagination i mean.your page has to be very dynamic. What I mean is that it should grab and display information out of a database. It should have a very bare-minimum of code written into the page by you. that way when I click ">> next " all that the page is really doing, is moving forward in the database, and refreshing. It only 'seems' to be a new page to USERS. Hope this helps edit: I learned about this topic by picking up MySQL and PHP from Tizag.com. I strongly reccomend this page for learning some fundamentals of database with php.I think a good thing for you would be to download Simple Machines Forum software. Have a look through the FILES to get a picture of what's involved in what you want to do.

1773.	Solve : Is the use of AJAX for Security??
Answer» Hi, Raymond and all members! I have noticed that some Web sites have disabled "Open link in New Window" when you RIGHT click any Links in their Web sites. Also, when you put the Mouse over the Link, you could only see "Javascript: Ajax(.... INSTEAD of SHOWING the link's URL in the Status Bar. Could you think of any reason why they used AJAX? For security reason? Probably they want to do certain bits of PROCESSING before HANDING you over to the lick - click-counting, database procedures or whatever. This is not specifically related to security.

1768.	Solve : formatting question?
Answer» I'm sure this is a really simple question, but I haven't been able to figure it out. I'm making a web page, with the main part of the TEXT in a div element with a non-repeating background. The background is 561px wide, and the text spills over around it. Is there any way I can make the text stay inside the background? I tried making the WHOLE div element or just the paragraph elements 561 px wide, and that worked really well until I tried resizing the window -- it wasn't fluid anymore (or at least when it couldn't fit the whole thing, it would send it all down to the bottom of the page where there was more room...) Is there a simple way to solve this? Thanks! EugeniaI must admit that I completely cop out in this kind of scenario, because I find tables-based layouts are so MUCH more consistent and cross-browser compatible than pure CSS layouts (especially with all the non-standard handling of CSS by the various browsers). That said, if you could upload the page as it is and provide a link, I may be able to offer some suggestions.Some of the pictures aren't there cause I forgot to copy them over, but the basic problem is still obvious, the text in the "Our Publishing" paragraphs is extending past the edge of the background... Here's the page: http://cer-pxo.com/books And here's the link to the css I used: http://cer-pxo.com/main.cssOh, I see. The whole layout isn't really working for me. I'm mainly using high-res or widescreen monitors, and the whole view pane looks a bit messy, with your navigation links to the right; the Russian text to the left, the logo centred above the two, the unaccountable 180px left margin, etc. Before attempting to fix this problem, I think you need to make a design decision: are you going to design a fixed-width web page, or are you going to design a fully fluid page that fills the whole width of any browser window? It looks to me like a fixed width is presupposed by the width of your logo, in which case you could wrap everything in one fixed size div. (Note that you should use a class to do this rather than defining ALL divs identically as you have done in your current CSS.) How do you want to proceed? Do you want me to expand on anything I've just said? That is actually more or less the way it is supposed to look, with the Russian on the left and the links on the right. The 180px left margin is for those pictures I didn't upload, there is a column of them that will be used as links as well. I generally wanted to make it a fluid page, though I wasn't being absolute with that - I just figured I'd make whatever needed to be fixed-width, or fluid, what it needed to be to work... Is there a way to keep that particular part fluid, but give just the text a maximum width so it doesn't spill over? I thought there was a max-width style, but it didn't work when I tried it.Max-width has limited support in the IE browsers unfortunately. Bear with me - I'll GET back to this thread when I have a little more time.Are you aware of what happens to your horizontal menu when a Firefox browser window is made narrow? See below: Yeah, actually it does that in all the browsers I think. I'd noticed, but it didn't bother me as much so I figured I'd leave it for now and try to fix it when everything else is done...I know this probably isn't the right way to do it, but I found a way that work to keep the text inside - I changed the width of the div to 80%, which is approximately how much space the background takes up, whether the window is minimized or not. Thank you for all your time and help!! Well that may well work for the resolution you're designing at, but will it work for all resolutions?Good point Rob, always design for the lowest common denominator is a good rule of thumb. 800x600 is as low as I go now days, but that is in an extreme circumstance, typically its 1024x768. Tables vr CSS, well IE doesn't always display the same as FF, CSS can really be a pain to work with at TIMES when trying to make sure you are cross browser compliant.

Answer» I really know nothing about VB coding, but I've used a template of SORTS to protect some pages on my site. However, the .ASP coding doesn't seem to be working correctly.

Is there a way that I can get the form sent to my email with out sending it by email, like getting the web page to send it automatically? Thanx in advance :-?Yes, absolutely, but this would require server-side processing. Does your web host SUPPORT PHP?I don't have an account that supports php but I guess I will have tomorrow once I sort it out. One it's sorted out, what CODE do I need to enter? [emailprotected]" enctype="text/plain"> or [emailprotected]" enctype="text/plain">Some hosts may not support PHP but will support Perl, it can also be done easily with Perl / ASP or other scripting languages. Some hosts may also have scripts on their server that will allow you to do this, so may also want to look into that. Once it's setup you'll actually have a script on your server that handles the mail and on your web page you'll setup a forum that submits the data to that script. Something similar to the below example. Code: [Select]<form method="GET" ACTION="<your script location here>"> <input type="text" NAME="name" size="10"> <input type="text" name="message" size="30"> </form>

1776.	Solve : Free Templates?
Answer» I am a web designer, like many of the other people on this forum. I searched and searched the internet to FIND website templates that didn't have copyright NOTICES or links going back to the site where you got it from. I found this: Open Source Web DESIGN - http://www.oswd.org/ Very cool, all free, and copyrights can be removed (always check first) Just an FYI for web designers seeking something like that I hope you can find it usefulFound that when someone else posted it on another thread. Very very useful, I'm using a TEMPLATE form there for my new site. I recommend that anyone who wants a website that looks good without the hassle of having to do it all themselves has a look at this. It's worth a look for more experienced designers too, as they're easily customisable.I used to USE Zymic, but OSWD was just so much better It can be hard to find good templates that fit your site, but you just have to look around

1780.	Solve : Signature?
Answer» GOOD morning computer world. I would like to make a signature for my ONLINE threading and don't even know where to begin. Accualy I do know w a good place to start. A program. Is there a free paint or photo program that i can use to start this. I will start with this question and then go on with more if needed. Thanx for all the help out there. I would be a completly ignorate to the computer world if it wasn't for the help i have recieved here.If you want to add a signature, you can just add text. Using the tags, with the URL of an image in between, will show that image in your signature. If you want to create your own, I suggest you check the SOFTWARE FAQ for a free image editor, I suggest Paint.NET as it's very easy to use, free and powerful. Hope this helps a bit.For free design programs check out the software FAQ (link in my signature) under 'graphics'.And for a very SIMPLE image editor, one you already have, just use Paint. It's on all Windows computers.

1789.	Solve : MYSQL??
Answer» what is this MYSQL? it sounds like it has some interesting features. I googled it and got mysql 5.0 and stuff. do i need to download something? where should i learn this from?It's an implementation of a SQL database. When you have a WEBSITE that NEEDS to dynamically save and retrieve data you often have a SQL database to store the data in. This very forum for example is stored in a MySQL database. Software that needs to handle lots of data or need to share data between many users usually utilizes some form of database as well (often SQL). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_management_system I don't know any good online tutorials but there PROBABLY are some around. I can recommend a book THOUGH. "Fundamentals of Database Systems"There's some good tutorials on phpbuilder.net - http://www.phpbuilder.net/columns/index.php3?cat=1&subcat=2 http://www.phpbuilder.net/columns/index.php3?cat=1&subcat=28 If you WANT to play with mysql and php, download and install xampp from www.apachefriends.org If you want mysql by itself, to play around with the interface, download it from dev.mysql.com/downloads

1790.	Solve : how to get input without a submit button???
Answer» Hi, I am pretty much a newbie and haven't even really tested my wings let alone figured out how to FLAP both at the same time but I seem to have tackled a pretty big project so I am working at it. I am creating a web based plant key and I am currently working on the glossary part of it. In most online glossaries I have looked at you can either scroll through all the entries or there is an alphabet at the top that takes you to the begining of the entries starting with any given letter. Some also have a search function. What I would like to do is have the user be able to type in an INPUT box and the computer sort of zoom in on the word. So if I type an "A" it would skip to the begining of the A section and as I continued typing it would keep jumping to show the words that started with say "ABA". I want this zoom in function to occur as soon as the user starts typing so there is no submit button. The help sections in software like dreamweaver and microsoft PRODUCTS have this feature. I don't really know what the proper name of it is so I haven't been able to find it on the web. I can only assume that there must be an autosubmit script that continually submits the typed letters and causes the jumps to an anchor in the page/glossary to create the zoom in effect. Where might I find an example of the html to make this happen? What is the proper name for this so I can learn more about it? How does it work? Is it an autosubmition thing?? If I can do this will it slow down the LOAD time on my page a lot? Maybe that is why I haven't encountered it much on the web?? Will I have CROSS browser compatability issues with implementing this? Thanks so much for your patience & time. Katetie a javascript to the input field that utilizes the onkeypress event to begin searching.

1792.	Solve : Pop-up Menu (slide bar)?
Answer» I am a beginner at webpage building and I know just simple STUFF because I mostly use dreamweave CS3. Well I am sorry if there is ALREADY such a topic on slide bar but I just couldn't find it. So what I WANTED to ask is what is the code for a slide bar? Like when you mouse over some bar like for example HOME there will appear several other bars on the bottom or on the side for like computers, forums, etc... Well I wanted mainly to know that but I WOULD rather know how can I create my own slide bar with dreamweaver or Fireworks or photoshop or anything. I hope someone has got any ideas that COULD be helpful. Thanks. Hi Yo, I am also pretty much a beginner. I have looked into this for the page I am building though. I believe it is called a pop up menu & if I remember correctly I didn't have trouble getting it to work. Let me see if I can find the link . . . Here is a suggestion for dreamweaver. http://www.smartwebby.com/web_site_design/pop_up_menus.asp Here is a suggestion that uses css that I ended up using because it seemed a lot less cluttered/more concise. http://www.stefashwell.com/tutorials/entry/7/ But I am not sure that IE supports the hover command. I think there is a work around but I haven't looked that up yet. Good Luck KateSomething like the menus on this page?: http://www.milonic.com/Kate. Thanks.

1795.	Solve : 100% div height?
Answer» Hey guys and ladies. Im learning CSS. amazing language, simple powerful. So far I see it is a great way to ditch cumbersome tables. But I NEED help. I have encountered a problem with expanding my div TAGS to 100% of the length of the page. They simply won't seem to FIT tight. I CURRENTLY have them set to 200% so that they at least don't abruptly END, but they are stretching the length of the page beyond need on some monitors. here is the page: http://www.gominitruck.ca I have found ineffective cures for this issue on google. Mostly the idea that you can code the inside of a having defined both styles to height:100%... The idea seems to be that the containment hierarchy will do the rest. This, I am sure does not work. after 45 minutes of efforts. PLEASE HELP! -thanks in advance : )

1796.	Solve : CSS with template-based pages (dreamweaver 8)?
Answer» Hello. I use Dreamweaver 8 to build my site. I know it's dated, but it's all I have right now. I have two questions: 1) I understand how to save a page as a template, but when I publish template-based PAGES to my server, the style sheet doesn't attach and I'm left with a page that looks like something DOC Brown and Marty McFly brought back from 1994. Why doesn't my style sheet link to the page properly? 2) In the EVENT I'm unable to solve the above problem, are there any cons to using an internal style sheet (CSS inside the tags)? Any assistance is appreciated, as my content is increasing and it's a pain to make minor changes to the master layout. Thanks, Jcheck to see if the stylesheet is referenced in between the tags. It might look something like this: If it is then check your server to see if the file is on it. I don't think there's anything wrong with internal style sheets. Some programmers don't like it, but I'm not sure why. it doesn't slow anything down that I'm aware of.Thanks for taking the time to reply. I really appreciate it. I have the CSS file referenced properly, and I have the CSS file uploaded to the server. That's the weird thing here. I didn't have any problems with my pages until I tried to use the template feature in Dreamweaver. I'll just keep messing AROUND with it. In the meantime, I'll just use an internal style sheet. No one can tell me why I shouldn't, so why not. Again, thanks a million!Do you have a link we can look at to get a better idea of what the problem might be? There's nothing wrong with internal styling. Some people just oppose it because it's unattractive, less practical, and it makes things look unorganized. It basically works the same way, though. I (and many others) prefer external sheets, but internal should work just fine.Since my last visit I went ahead and went with internal styling, even though it is unattractive. A day or two later, after beer ten and shot three I was sitting on the stool when it hit me: I'm an idiot. I must have accidentally changed the path relative to the template, a very tragic mistake to make. I was obviously mistaken when I said in my earlier post that I had the CSS file referenced correctly. I did not. Thanks to both of you for your help and advice. My advice to others would be to slow down and work carefully, or look foolish in a forum FULL of people who know what they're doing. Ha ha, don't worry, that sort of thing still happens to me sometimes. Thanks for giving us an update; I'm glad you've got it all sorted out.

Answer» Hi! I'm Randy V. Silverio. A 4th Year BSCS student in Trinity University of Asia. We need help. We developed a web-based system using VB as programming language and the TEMPLATE or project type used for the web application is ASP.NET Here's the scenario: When you're done (logged-out or end session) using our web-based system, it automatically transfer you to the Login Page. The problem is, once you click the "Back" in the Standard Button of your browser (for EXAMPLE: Internet Explorer), it will DISPLAY your previous visited pages. Our system focuses on student records, so we need to secure it. Our thesis adviser said that we need to add another process when logging-out.

Answer» hello friends can any ONE please help me out in hosting a website in intranet 1------ what are the steps of hosting site on intranet 2------ what is requirnment me CREATED a website in http: with ip address and please help me out in change that to domain name of any like acb .com or any another plsease help friends thanks waiting for reply i know here is lot of webmasters with a brilliant mind having who can help me out So if I'm hearing you right, you already have a host with a static IP (your own computer?) and a design and you just need a domain name. Is this right? In that case, you would need to find a domain name provider to sell you a domain name. Check out www.godaddy.com. They're a reliable domain name provider that may be able to help you out. If you haven't gotten that far, and you STILL need a host, godaddy also does site hosting.oh, SORRY, I just noticed that you were asking about intranet and not internet. For that, you need to have a dns server on your network that routes all requests for the site name to the appropriate computer and webpage. Windows Server 2000-2008 all have dns servers that can be installed from cd. Linux also has dns servers available DEPENDING on the distribution.
