How is is that you would make a login and password for a web site. I know that there are some free password required re-directs (completely unsecure) that you can GET, but I would LIKE to know how you would make one yourself.What webserver/scripting language/database are you using?I don't have a web server.
I have the program Dreamweaver.
I do not have a database.
I take it that I need those, right?Indeed. You will need a web server (Do a web search for Apache, they have Windows and Linux versions) to test your pages. You will also need PHP. Google that as well. Dreamweaver creates HTML files but it is incapable of doing PHP and MySQL as far as I know - you'll need to do it yourself. If you get all three of these things properly set up, let me know how you did it. (Kidding, I think I got it set up)

We'll be here to assist you in setting up. OH, and if you're running Windows XP, then keep this tidbit in mind; it makes no sense now but it will LATER: THE MYSQL SERVICE MUST BE ENABLED. The lack of knowledge of this tidbit CAUSED robpomeroy and myself endless grief.Hey Dilbert, do you know of a HTML command(s) that will let you put a login script on your website?This is not something you can do just with HTML.  You need something (a configuration file or a program) at the server end to process logons.  E.g. Apache's .htaccess files, or a PHP script looking up user ids in a database.

You can simulate logins using javascript and cookies, but the result would be HIGHLY insecure.take a look here to see a simple solution until you learn how to do it yourself

that part should set the pic-width end heigt... are there some errors in my srcipt?





Or does someone has a script that works? ( that automaticly works..., and resize all my pic's to 450-500)

nobody?nobody AT ALL :-?Stop BUMPING your thread please.  Programming queries inevitably take longer to get a response.  You need to practise patience,Urk.  Took a while to MAKE sense of that script.  I don't LIKE it!  Do you really want all images to be displayed indiscriminately at that size, irrespective of their width:height ratio?  Why not resize all the images first?  Where did you get the script from?  Where's the rest of it?

Do you have PHP-side scripting?  (I don't remember.)  If so, you could use a PHP script that calls the GD graphics libraries to create thumbnails/resize images as you wish, on demand.i SCANNED the web and found a script that works, thx anyway

Help! How can I change an .mpg file to a .MOV file. AND how can I EMBED an .mpg file into a web PAGE so it will PLAY directly from the page and not automatically download to someones COMPUTER? Thank you.

...which is what I SAID in the SECOND post in this thread...lol, by bad.... SRY, didnt SEE thatYou COULD just link the example to a .txt file that has the html in it

is there a way that i can limt internet on a PC at night, but not on other pc's on the same network, the computer i want to limt is a windows 98se, its wireless network, i use a telwest modem then it gose in to a belkin wireless router then it gose in to about 5 pc in the same house.

any help would be GREATFUL.

KarlUnplug the wireless antenna at night?

GIVE us an idea of how you want to limit the internet, and why; that makes it easier to give suggestions for a solution.i only want to limt 1 pc just overnight. just no internet FULL stop on 1 pc, then restored the next day then limted at night just for from sun till thursday night.I suggest googling for "parental internet controls".  You'll turn up a lot of software, and possibly some if it can provide your desired functionality.  Bear in mind though that with Win98SE, most controls can be circumvented.  Where there's a will there's a way.  Removing the wireless aerial is more effective.McAfee Privacy Service will stop Internet usage during specified times with specified users, and its not required to install on all network PC's.

You could probably get a free trial...

mine is a billion brand, (whats a billion, I hear you say)
anyhow mine can turn access on/off to SPECIFIC mac/ip addresses at specific times.
check it out maybe yours will do the same.thanks for all your help, i'm going to try McAfee Privacy Service.

I'm obviously new to the whole web site thing, but am really not happy with my current web host due to complete lack of support and other things. I would like to switch HOSTS and have been researching how to do that. I have read it is as simple as switching a DNS "number" (probably not the correct term), but on the other hand I have also read you have to download your entire site to your computer and then upload it to the new server. Which one is it? I would really prefer not have to download the site, if only for the fact that there is a suspected virus on my current server and I don't WANT to unwittingly download it with the site to my computer. I just got the last worm/virus/Trojan out a couple of days ago! What I need to know is the simplest way to switch hosts with the least amount of site downtime, and is doable by me, the complete newbie. Also please write your answers so even I will understand. :-?Well, you will have to download the website files to your computer and then upload them to the server of your new hosting service.  How else would those files get transferred to the server of your new hosting service?  There's no magical way to avoid downloading them from the old host and uploading them to the new one.

What makes you think you have "virus on my current server"?  And, if you merely download website files, I don't see how that could install a virus in your computer.  Are there any executable files among your web page files on the current host server?  If so, why?  Is it something you put there?  If not, then don't download such file(s).  Be sure your're only downloading the files that make your site work, which should be files you created.  You do know which files these are, right?

Once you get an account with a new hosting service, they should send you an email with details on how to access your new account via FTP and what domain name pointer code you need to setup with your domain name registrar.  They should also send you info on how you can upload your files and view your pages (only you, no one else) before going live with the site.  So, you should do this before deactivating your site on the old host server.  

Once receive the domain name pointer code (this may not be the exact title of that code, but something similar), contact your domain registrar and change that code from the one for the old hosting service to the one for your new hosting service.  The change may not take effect for a day or two or longer.  But, once it does takes effect, the transition should be invisible to VISITORS to your site, and there should be no downtime.  

How can you tell when your site is being displayed from the new web server?  Make a slight change in a page and upload it either to the old web server or the new one.  Let's say you upload the changed page to the new server.  When you view the page in your web browser and see the change, then you will know the change in domain name pointer code has taken effect and you can then close the old hosting account if you wish to do so.




Good answer, soybean.Thanks.   I had asked someone to help me with some of the scripts, and when she tried to access the site from her computer she was stopped by Norton with a MESSAGE about the Downloader virus being present. Two days later when I accessed my own site suddenly my computer had this same virus. It's taken a lot of work to get rid of it, and I'm just hesitant to do something that could re-infect my computer.

I don't think there are any executable files, unless I missed something. I didn't put any in, but I also didn't design the website and haven't gone through every file.There is a downloader zlob that shows up with McAffee, Norton and AVG that is actually a false positive...

I'm not sure how the hosting co. runs their protection schemes but ask for someone like a supervisor to see where to go from here.

patio.  8-)One of the biggest reasons why I want to switch web hosts is that the supervisor, who is also the site designer, denies that there is anything wrong, and then when I tried to follow up with him several times he ignored my emails and support requests.A very good reason to switch...someone new who is eager for your business could POSSIBLY be of much more help in assuring your site is clean and also the transfer process itself.

Good Luck.How did you create your web pages?  You don't already have the files on your hard drive from when you created them?I bought the site already put together. It was done from a template, and I can go in and customize most of it. So no, I don't have the files already on my computer.Is this a Geocities web account?  Is your website's URL www.mysite.com or something like www.Geocities.com/~mysite/index.htm?  You've been using some type of online HTML editor, where you update pages via a web browser interface, right?  Looks like you've got some learning curve ahead of you in order to get into a much different mode of operation for your website.It's not a geocities site, but it does use an online html editor. The original seller and host is storefrontx.com.Do you have a registered domain name?  Have you thought about how you're going to manage your website with a new web hosting service?  As far as I know, you won't be able to take their template with you when you switch web hosts.  You'll have to either find another web host which provides an online html editor, if that's what you want, or learn the conventional way of developing web pages, which is to develop them on your computer and then upload them to your web server.  Either way, you'll have to download the files from the old host unless you just start from scratch with a new web host that offers an online html editor and upload all your photos again.

Can custom error page be a deleted page?

I mean if i pick a link for a page  which is

http://www.myownsite.com/page55.html


and then post this link to certain place,

and then if i delete that link from the control panel of my site,

after that, if somebody click on the link, on that place where i posted it,

will he be shown the 404 error message?

I'm afraid I don't understand your question at all.  COULD you rephrase?Following are the various Error pages:

[size=16]400 (Bad request)
401 (Authorization required)
403 (Forbidden)
404 (Wrong page)
500 (Internal server error)
[/size]

If somebody types a wrong URL, then he gets the 404 message.

Suppose a webpage of your site has the URL as:

http://www.yourownsite.com/ppp/jojo1.html

and if somebody type it in his address bar as:

http://www.yourownsite.com/ppp/jojo.html

or as:

http://www.yourownsite.com/ppp/jojo1.htm

Then he is typing the wrong URL, and he would get the following message


[size=26]Not Found[/size]
[size=18]The requested URL /ppp/jojo.html was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.37 Server at www.yourownsite.com Port 80[/size]


My question is:

if i post the link
http://www.yourownsite.com/ppp/jojo1.html

at some classified site

and after that I go to my site's control panel and delete the webpage
http://www.yourownsite.com/ppp/jojo1.html

so that it is not in my site anymore,

what typeof error message anyone who clicks on the link
http://www.yourownsite.com/ppp/jojo1.html

on that classified site would RECEIVE?

Would it be a

404 error message
400 error message
500 error message

This I am asking because i have already posted a link on some site and now want to delete the link.

Depending on what type of message it is i canreconfigure the error page HTML code.


Gotcha.  Most web SERVERS would return a 404 in this case.  404 SIMPLY means the page isn't there (whether or not it previously existed).

I would like to download a website onto a cd for customer viewing.  How can I do this?  Do I have to have a special software program?yoyoma......... Ah .......why not simply provide the URL ......

DL65  Because the CDs are going to be given out at a trade showPull-up the site... File -> Save As... Then burn that to a CD... That what you WANT?

[glb]Flame[/glb]I want to be able to save the entire site on a cd so that the user can open the cd and see a static site that looks just like what is on line.I think that would be it then... It would include the PAGE, graphics, codes, etc. This will only copy one specific page though.... You want the page or the whole site? Also, once saved, this page will not be able to get updated... To copy the whole site, you will need to copy every page like this...

[glb]Flame[/glb]That does not work.  Thanks anyway.Is this your website?

[glb]Flame[/glb]Use a program called "webcopier", its pretty cheap but it does the trick. I've USED it before, you basically visit the site you want in webcopier's browser and you click download and it copies the entire thing...

I am trying to make a basic automated link with a top news story PICTURE daily. I am pulling a blondie today, can anyone help?slrhine.....what PROGRAM are you using to edit the webpage ?

dl65  I am not using any editor, I work for a company that has their own SOFTWARE PLATFORM. So, I need hard code TEXT. Thanks!

Hi

I can add a photo to the nav area, however it reveals only the top 3 inches of the photo in this rectangular frame. I would like to use it as a background in that area (it is a photo of my city downtown)

Any help is appreciated

ThanksYou want to use the picture as a background in one of the frames? You can simply use the background tag if I remember correctly..

Kelly - a link to the page would be helpful (as ever ).  There are quite a few different ways of achieving this.






You're not still using FrontPage are you?


  yeah I'm still using FrontPage, but upgraded to 2003  



Thanks for looking.
I want the picture squeezed into the nav. area. (behind the tabs)

Here is a link:

Kelly
Gotcha.


Using FrontPage makes it a little tricky...  Serious web design works best in code form.


You need to have a look at your web site in Firefox; the tabs are misaligned, overlapping the black text banner.  Remember not to design for just one browser - Firefox's market share has increased significantly, and OPERA is also nipping at Internet Explorer's heels.

Anyway, to your problem.  My preferred method for adding a background is to use CSS - this behaviour is compatible with all current browsers including IE6.  To use one background for a section, use div tags for that section, thus:

Code: [Select]<div style='background-image:url("/images/myimage.jpg");'>
Put whatever you want here.
</div>
Read a bit more about the CSS for backgrounds >here<Thanks Rob, I will try it and post my results.


I did try NVU for a short bit. but we weren't compatible

and I do understand the Front Page Boos' .

Could you recommend a good teaching book about code. And what code do you recommend for beginners

And until I get the code figured out, would it look okay to have a "home" page that gives a few browsers to choose from that the viewer uses that opens to pages that look good in that browser.

Are you still with me?

Go to http://v03.browsershots.org/ and test your site in multiple resolutions and browsers.ok its not working for me? :-?What a fantastic resource Kelly!  Thanks for sharing that.  Bookmarked.FABULIOUS TOOL!
I was hoping my site wasn't Mac compatible....
Oh well.

Look at that! One more post until 1000!Does your web-site have to be on line already or can they view it before it is online?  I have MINE finished but still on hard drive. Quote

Wow i ant been here for quite a few month now and this was the first topic that took the interest in me.

And i still see some old members, anyway nice to see this site going well.

I am working in vdeck..but iwant to enter my own head tags. when i do this it STILL SHOWS the empty head tags that are on the pages in view page source. I WOULD LIKE my head tags to be shown at the TOP of the page.  anyone??
http://www.brilene.comVdeck's web builder is proprietary; I suggest you contact them for support.

I have added a css NAV BAR to my site, but i want it centered, how do i accomplish this?

Thanx.CSS:
margin-left: AUTO;
margin-right: auto;If you need a more explicit example, provide a LINK to the page in question.

Is there a way I could have it that as soon as a user connected to my site their screen would be maximized? (F11 in Internet Explorer BTW) If so is there a way the PAGE would automatically autohide the menubar after being maximized. I'm trying to create a more in depth experience.

Are these ideas even possible or are these inaccesible BROWSER settings I can't change from my pages script?As far as I know, the user has to do this himself.I can think of all sorts of reasons why you shouldn't be able to take over someone's browser in this way.  Nope.  Not possible. Wraith.......

If Viewing your site in  full screen ( F11) .....how about putting a big bold note on your Index.html full screen ( F11)

style that makes it bold.

Good luck. 8-)Ok, great.   Quote

Question 1: How do I get my index.html's background pic to fit to the screen. (preferably in all resolutions) Right now the top left is the only part on the screen.

Question 2: Is there a way I could have a user click on a link and be sent to their "My Computer". What is the path of My Computer anyway.

Why do you want to do this?

I wanted there to be a shortcut to their "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\maps." Although I suppose I could just do this with a hyperlink.

What exactly is Active X?

I see some site that has phpBB forum that contain there logo at the top and some link to there other page as well.
I was just wondering how i could do the same?I think here we may need some additional information.  Perhaps you can post a link to your forum so that we can be of assistance.I'd head right on over to http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/ and ASK that question.  I'll bet it's not an UNCOMMON question.You need to learn how to use the forum's templating system.  You'll find lots of HELP FILES, resources, and user-submitted templates at the phpBB support sites, no doubt.alot of helper REPLYING here
Thank you

I designed a logo for a client using Photoshop, and they like it and want to use it for various things.

My problem is that I don't know how to get it to them in a way that they can use it on things. They don't have Photoshop, so sending the PSD isn't an option, and I just don't have experience with this sort of thing.

Does ANYONE have any idea what I can do?In the Save As menu, change the file type from PSD to PNG. That'll save it as a stand-alone image.You need a bit more information from your clients.  What size do they need the final image to be; what will they be using it for; what will the final medium be (print/screen); what resolution is appropriate to the medium, etc.

In this kind of scenario a designer will typically supply the finished artwork at several different sizes, in several different formats.  Think PNG, GIF and JPEG at resolutions of 72, 96 and 300 dpi with pixel dimensions circa 100, 500 and up to 2000 or so. Quote

I was making my site with HTML and saving and then refreshing the page to see how it looked, then I realized something, if I took something off (deleted text or picture) and saved it and then went a refreshed the page in the browser all the stuff I got rid of was still there. What do I do?NVM, I found out the problem.... I just had one of those moments  If you don't mind my ASKING: What was the problem?When I would save my HTML file and go into the browser to look at it wouldn't be updated. I saved the file twice, one in the C drive and one in my personal folder. The one I updated was in my folder, but when I went to look at it I click on the one in the C drive, which I dont update.


But I do have another problem.... The one that I saved in the C drive(The one I dont update) has the pictures on there that I want. But the one I update doesn't have the pictures on it, do you know why that is?Well, do you have the APPROPRIATE tag? If you don't you just need to insert the code. If you do have an IMG tag where it should be, please post the picture code so we can take a look. It might be a spelling error or syntax problem.

Hi there. I have a style question (I think it has to do with that). I would like to have a page, where you see on the center of the screen a red text box that is showed on the front of the site, and if you click on ok, you see my normal site again, and the message box desapair. Does anyone knows how to do this (perhaps with style.css)

P.S. If my explenation wasn't that clear watch the picture I paintedHow about:

<div style='position: absolute; z-index: 10; left: 300px; top:200px;
            width:200px; border: 3px outset #000000;
            background-color: #FF5050; padding: 5px;'
    onClick='javascript: this.style.display="none";'>
  <p>Read this message then click anywhere in this box to dismiss...</p>
</div>
That isn't really a good code. But it really is the text box I want, but my problem is, my whole website is displayed in that box now. And that isn't really my intintion. I want that the box comes on the front (RIGHT in the center, like your code does) and that if you clikc on it that it disapears (like your code does) but that the message is in the front, and that my whole website can be on the back....Did you miss the closing tag?  Put that right at the start or right at the end of your HTML, and it should work as you want it to.right, my fault... Do you know how you let disapear this box, by an link example if I click on the word close in the box, it disapearsYes, you can try this:

<div style='position: absolute; z-index: 10; left: 300px; top:200px;
              width:200px; border: 3px outset #000000;
              background-color: #FF5050; padding: 5px;'
    id='tobeclosed'>
  <p>Read this message...</p>
  <p onClick='javascript: document.getElementById("tobeclosed").style.display="none";'>
    Close
  <p>
</div>
Perfect, your the best  . Do you know (because this box was a saluting box) how that you make that the box only shows the first thime when I come on that page (that shows the saluting box).Absolutely.  PHP + cookies.  I'll put something together, but it probably won't be until tomorrow.  Feel free to experiment in the meantime.Okay, the cookie based code must be right at the top of the page, before any headers are sent from the server.  The first lines of your php script should be something like:


<?php
$expiry = 2147483647; // expiry date of cookie - 19/01/2038
$now = time();

if (isset($_COOKIE['seenmessage']))
{
  // Check the value of the cookie.  If it's less than
  // 20 seconds ago, show the message anyway
  if ($now < ($_COOKIE['seenmessage'] + 20))
  {
    $showmessage = true;
  } ELSE {
    $showmessage = false;
  }
} else {
  // No cookie - so set it; and show the message
  $showmessage = true;
  setcookie('seenmessage', $now, $expiry);
}
?>


Then in the part of the page where you show the message, wrap it all in a php test:


<?php
if ($showmessage)

perfect, do you know a code (under php4) that deletes the cookie if you click on a link (so that if i click on log out, the cookie deletes itselves, and when I LOGIN back, I see the message again)To delete a cookie, you have to unset its value.  You can only mess with cookies before any headers are sent, therefore you'd have to USE a link that diverts to another page.  E.g.:

<a href='clearcookie.php'>Clear cookie[/url]


And the clearcookie.php has at the start, e.g.:

<?php

setcookie('seenmessage', false);

?>
































I have a new question. How can you show the message again (if it is CLOSED)? I'd like to have the following thing:

I've had it to here with these friggin' pictures.

I've got three pictures I'm supposed to apply to a template, along with some text. I can get them to render fine, but not in IE. In IE they appear stretched, as if they are too long for their width. I didn't do this; in fact, I specified percentages of image size so that they'd be relatively scaled. What on earth is going on, here?

Here's my source code for this page:

      <p>Cavitt Bridge is an 82-foot bridge built in 1943 with round logs for the upper and lower chords.  Floyd C. Frear, who designed the bridge, claimed that with proper maintenance the bridge would last a half century. It has already exceeded that estimate and still stands as testament to the tenacity of covered bridges.  The bridge spans Little River where it is joined by Cavitt Creek.  There are murals painted on the abutments that add touch of class to a favorite swimming spot for the residents.  Robert Cavitt was a bachelor who settled on this tributary of Little River.<img src="../images/cavitt_2.png" alt="Cavitt Bridge" width="40%" height="40%" class="floatleft" /></p>

I don't really have the asterisks... Is the page out on the web yet?  Can you post the URL?I removed the height attrubute and it's working OK now. How, I have no freaking idea. :-? :-? :-?

EDIT: Maybe I can't use both height and width with percentages... :-? Quote

Maybe I can't use both height and width with percentages... :-?

tag), not the image.  The

tag is expandable unless constrained by CSS is its own container.  If you need to display an image at a particular percentage of its size, you can use javascript to set the height and width attributes, or better yet, PHP.

But you shouldn't really be using HTML to scale down images.  It's ineffecient.  If you want the image to be smaller, you should make it smaller, rather than cause people to download more than their browsers will actually be displaying.  Trust me, I know what you mean. But I'm on a deadline ATM, a 4-day deadline, so I'm taking a few shortcuts... for now. When I get the site up I'll start resizing images, but that's a tall order in itself, and I got a long to-do list... But top priority for Maintinence Period I is to resize all seventy-something images to actual size. :-/You have a Linux box running, yes?  It'll take about 20 seconds to produce images at exactly the size you need, using the convert program from the ImageMagick toolkit.

Here's a simple script called "resize" that I wrote and use.  The 1024x1024 just makes those the maximum height and width.  The images remain in proportion.  Make sure you have a folder "done" within the folder where you run this script:
#!/bin/sh
#
# eg resize *.jpg

for file in "[email protected]"
do
  convert "$file" -resize 1024x1024 "done/$file"
doneIf you have photo editing software, perhaps that came with a digital camera, see whether it has batch resizing CAPABILITY.  The FinePix Viewer program that came with my camera has that capability.  ALSO, the excellent freeware photo editor IrfanView appears to have that feature.  I haven't actually used IrfanView but I see batch processing listed on What is IrfanView?.  Keep in mind it is FREEWARE (for non-commercial use).Soybean, "Freeware" doesn't imply that it can't be used for commercial purposes...?Right, it doesn't necessarily mean that.  But, IrFanView specifically says that on their site.  Here's the exact wording on one page: "IrfanView is a very fast, small, compact and innovative FREEWARE (for non-commercial use) graphic viewer for Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003."
Aha.  Thankee!

Does ANYONE know if you can have a link in an xml page.  If so, a sample would be nice.  I have a project (web page) to hand in, and I would like to put some snippet of xml on the page.

Thanks.....You could possibly use a link in XML, but it's not worth the effort. You're better off coding it into the (X)HTML itself.

See, first you have to define it in XML as TEXT, that text being the (X)HTML code. Then, you'd have to use a XLT file to place it in the exact spot... but since you're typing the code anyway, you may as well just put it in the (X)HTML. Quote

I'm looking for a WYSIWYG PROGRAM.  So far the only program I like is the one from Pablo SOFTWARE, but I'm looking for a better one and cannot seem to find it.  Does anyone uses WYSIWYG programs?Try >NVu<.Yeah, I didn't like that program much...  I'm guessing I'm looking for a Pablo WYSIWYG clone with more features.  I do NEED one that can let me drag and drop SWF files on a page.Shell out lots of MONEY for Dreamweaver instead then.  It's basically one of the best.

As you have followed a few posts of me you would see that I'm writing a login-script. First of all I would thank robpomeroy for all the help I had from him. (secuirity for the script, and help with pictures in the script!). Now I have a new question. I would like that my users can change there name (not  login name, just there name).

On all the pages there name is DISPLAYED by this code:
Code: [Select]include("username.txt");?>

and in the txt file this is written:
Code: [Select]<?php echo'username'?>

Now I would like to have that it is possible to change this name. So I would like to have a textform where you can type your name and a submit button and than your name is changed (in the text file). Does anyone knows how to do thisIs there a chance you can keep your users' details in a database (e.g. MySQL)?  Your answer will make a big difference to my suggested solution. Quote

Is there a chance you can keep your users' details in a database (e.g. MySQL)?  Your answer will make a big difference to my suggested solution.

something like...

Code: [Select]<?
rename("/dir/username.txt", "/dir/newNAME.txt");
$read = file_get_contents(username.txt);
$replace = str_replace("username", "newName", "$read");
$fp = fopen("username.txt", "w");
fputs($fp, $replace);
fclose($fp);
?>

thanx for the code... But it isn't exactly what I want to. I want that DE username.txt file stays with the same name, only the text within it should change. This is my submit form

<body>

<form name="post" method="post" action="config.php">

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Toevoegen" tabindex="1">

</form>

</body>

if you dont understand a command ther explained on php.net or i'll be happy to fit it in your code if you posted it?

It only changes the word username to a new word, and it appers blank because it dosent desply any html. Presumabley you already no the name in the textfile if ther logged in?
if not i have some code i created and you can use it to find out the username in the file.
At the moment i'm at collage i'll post it when i get home

I don't think this will work the way you want it to, blackberry.  The contents of the username.txt file will be served up to all visitors to your web site.  So if one person changes it, every other person seeing the next page will be faced with the wrong username.

How about instead using a cookie stored on the user's PC?  No need to change any file on your server then.  Their usernames get stored as a cookie on their PC - you can check for the presence of it and respond accordingly.

What do you think?

Incidentally, when you were seeing a white page aboe, that may also have been because there was an error in the php - a missing semicolon at the end of the first line.  If DisplayErrors is set to off in php.ini, then you will not get a report - just a blank page.

I have about 4 web sites and they all display properly in both of the above mentioned browsers. I recently uploaded a site and it is perfect (in my EYES) . However it only displays correctly in IE, in FireFox half of the files are MISSING and misaligned.

Any idea how this happened ?

Any idea how to correct this?

Thanks,
KellyEveryone's definition of correct is different. How is the site on IE different?

FlameIt is exactly how I designed it in IE

Searching it with firefox ---> more than half of the content is missing and the pics are not alligned.
What kind of content do you have? Flash animations?

FlameNo. I will pm you a linkWow. Forget everything else I said. This is a problem. Let me see if I can find a way to fix it... Not having MUCH luck however...  :-/

FlameNice mess huh?

Oh, it's a beautiful mess. I'm at a loss with this one  

Flame 

Wow I didn't think that you were stumpable.

Thanks for looking  I don't work much with Firefox  

FlameOne of the biggest challenges of a HTML DESIGNER is that you must make it compliant with as many browsers as possible. Without seeing the source code I don't know if you comply with W3C standards or not, but I know that for a time even MSNBC has severe alignment problems, as well as missing content in FireFox. I am tempted to say "welcome to the nightmare that is compatibility issues". In fact, I will/just did. Compatibility is a nightmare for some content. Would you be willing to PM me a link? I'll view the page in IE, Firefox, and Opera, and the source code... but I won't be able to check tonight. In GMT-8 my day is over, and I'll be heading for bed soon after I peruse the forums one more time.Is this address a secret? Is it porn? Send me the link too. I'd also be interested in seeing the link.  Cross-browser compatibility is one of my bugbears.As would I. You know who also could shine some light on this topic is admin. He had some problems getting the site to work with different browsers. I'm sure he could help...

FlameUm...Nope not porn

Should the PLATFORM read SERVER ASP instead of IE ?

I use PhotoShop CS2 to process my images, "save to web" as an optimized JPEG usually at around 75 or 80, and use FrontPage 2003 to "insert" the images into my website.

Somehow by the time the images get from PhotoShop to FrontPage they SEEM to lose most of their "punch"--colors are dull and the images appear flat. I've even tried attaching the ICC profile from PhotoShop, but not much changes.

As you can imagine, I spend a huge amount of time processing images to make them look good, so I'm totally baffled by what's happening. What am I missing here?

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer!

DennisThis is ringing bells - I'm sure someone else reported a similar problem some months ago.  How are you getting the pictures into FrontPage?  By cutting and pasting?  The best thing to do is to export from PhotoShop and just upload those files directly to your website, by FTP, WebDAV or whatever.  Use a dedicated program for this, such as FTPSurfer (see the software FAQ - LINK in my signature).  Then give FrontPage the image's location on the server, not on your hard DRIVE.  That way you can prevent FP from interfering with the image in any way.

Surely FP doesn't understand ICC?







In case anyone else is wondering, I just don't have the energy to get on my anti-FrontPage soapbox tonight...When you insert an image into FrontPage (I'm referring to FrontPage 2000, Normal view), right click on it and select Picture Properties.  Do you see an option to set JPEG Quality?  What is that setting?I also use f/p 2002, and when I save a pic. I save it to 'My Pictures' then insert them into my web, after which Front Page asks me if I want to save them to my web-folder.. and they seem ok ! .. I think the more you mess about with pics, the worse they are.. just my oppinion ! I like to KEEP thing as simple as possible.

Im tring to get text out by my navigation bar but every TIME I try to do this the text is either entered into the nnavigation bar or it is put underneath it. In other words I want the text and the nav bar to be on the same line. Here is the nav bar code:  

I lost some of the post. Its cut off. can you type the part after bgcolor?

And what do you mean what browser recognises the "bordercolor"?

Muncill, why are you using this:


to display this:

• use a right floated table as well as a left floated table
• use nested tables
• use a CSS layout

I love to experiment with web stuff. My new goal (sort of) is to make a web crawler that will go through a bunch of pages, find URL's, and link them.

I would like to make a web crawler that can get a large amount of URL's, and save them in a simple TEXT file.

How would I do this?
(Not looking for anything fancy, I've got limited bandwidth, you know. )
I can't remember where you're up to - have you got PHP under your belt yet?

First thing to bear in mind: you are considering USING an automated process to retrieve information from web sites.  Some WEBMASTERS would consider that abuse of their bandwidth, never mind yours.    You should really ensure that whatever code you write respects robots.txt files - but you're on your own there.  I am not an expert when it comes to their syntax.

Have a look at >the PHP filesystem reference< - in particular fopen, which can open a url, not just a file.  You can do more complex stuff with the >streams< library.Looks a bit complicated...
You're not JOKING!

[size=14]Hi, I am fairly new to the website building industry and cannot figure out how to create my own forum with my own pictures, links and THREADS.  I have read a little bit on how to do it, but it doesn't offer too much help.  Can anyone please help me figure this out?

THANKS[/size]Just find a hosting service that provides a forum.  For example, see http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/web-hosting-plans.html.  A Message Board is available, even with the Starter plan which only costs $4/month.  Once you open an account, you can easily install a forum from your web cPanel (CONTROL panel).  You will need some time to learn how to use the forum admin panel to add forum sections, etc.Alternatively, if you want to learn how to create your own forum, first set aside at LEAST 4 months to learning PHP, then set aside at least 8 months to programming your forum.

Or use your current hosting, and download some forum software. Like the dreaded YaBB (which I happen to like)
www.yabbforum.com
(This is a YaBB forum)
OR Vbullitine
http://www.vbulletin.com/

Regarding the large IMAGE on your website, http://www.freewebs.com/iproph/extras.htm, just copy it into Paint and save it as a JPEG FILE.  You'll be amazed at the difference in file size.  If you don't want to overwrite your original, change the name when you save it.  Let me KNOW what you GET.

When previewing my site in browser (only main page and one other CREATED so far) my HYPERLINK from home to 2nd page works fine. When I publish and try to access the 2nd page from home it says file not found. Im sure its something small Im not doing-just driving me  nuts.Tom HALV......sounds almost like you DIDNT save the hyperlink before you published .  whats the address of your page and I can perhaps spot the problem .

Let us know

Hello,

Back in 2001 the company hosting my site went out of business and later I dropped the URL for the site www.sperainc.com

My problem is I would like to reset the localhost on my computer. I am unable to use the current setting at spera01.sperainc.com [127.0.0.1]

My research for this has uncovered the following:

Default name describing the local computer address also known as the loopback address of the computer. For example typing ping localhost would ping the local IP address of 127.0.0.1 (the loopback address).  

I am having a problem using visual studios for ASP.NET projects because the current http://localhost/etc

The message I receive is this:

The default web access mode for this project is SET to file share, but the project folder at http://localhost/MyWebCalculator cannot be opened with the path c:\webworkshop\www\MyWebCalculator

The error RETURNED was:

Unable to create web project MyWebCalculator. Unable to create the web location c:\webworkshop\www\MyWebCalculator
Access is Denied

That location was used many YEARS ago with a dreamweaver project and I would like to shift my focus from that drive and folder to d:\localhost(new folder).

I am at a loss as to how to proceed.

All assistance will be APPRECIATED!  

Thanks,
John

Hi there,

I try to make it possible to manage a few things on my website with WAP. Because WAP isn't a SERVER LANGUAGE which can do the same things LIKE php can, I have a question. Is it possible to activate by visiting a link, a script? Wap has the possibility to link to something, but how do you make that it loads an extern script. Like you clikc on your celphone on a link, and then an extern php script WRITES a txt file on the server. Any ideas


thanks

I just got a microphone and was wonderin what kind of program i need to record SOMTHING thats pretty long. And if there is anywebsites i can use to upload what i record to put on my webpage.Windows has a sound recorder that may be sufficient.  In Win XP, GO to Start, All Programs, Accessories, Entertainment, and open Sound Recorder.  

How did you upload your existing web PAGES?have you speak in to the microphone and the computer output the sound?a good free way is to use any of the instant messengers (yahoo, msn...). You can open up and voice chat and record away for as long as you WANT. Then you can use smart FTP to upload it.    

The html codes for getting your sound file to play are eays to find with a yahoo search. depending on what file type you use.

I have a website already made and Im planning to by a .com for it but I have a question.came I just by a .com that when someone types it in it will go to my already made site?

I was thinking GoDaddy might do this but im not sure. Just wondering.I'll assume you're going to use a commercial hosting SERVICE for your site.  Once you've registered, i.e. bought, your domain name on GoDaddy.com - which I recommend - and you've created an ACCOUNT with a hosting service, the hosting service will send you a code, called the DNS pointer or SOMETHING like that, that you need to associate with your domain name by logging onto GoDaddy.  If you later CHANGE to a different hosting service, that new hosting service will send you a different DNS pointer code and you'll have to logon to your GoDaddy account and change it.

I have asked this at various places but never got a satisfactory answer. I know they indicate an INTERNET connection but the point is at what speed?
Some say they indicate the initial connection speed established with your ISP but that this is only a 'rough' guide and not always reliable. At speed test sites I've tried the results are always diff. to what the "hover over the monitors" box indicatetes.
Others say they are indication of internal system speed, ie, the speed at which is incoming DATA is processed in the MACHINE but then why does it say X Kbits data in X Kbits data out at this or that speed. ANYONE know? I belive zillions of people use the hover the POINTER over the monitors to get their internet speed but we are all wrong!

Any ideas. Any Gurus, anyone even hazard a guess would be nice. Cheers. m

I've never tried linux and I'd like to try makeing my own server to host a website, The computer I want to use the specs are in my sig. Now I was wondering Whats the best linux for this and im pretty sure Id be able to dual BOOT between the server and XP right or would I be better off Just having the computer running one OS.
If you installed Linux to use it for your server, how would then also use Windows and still keep your website up?  

Have you considered just creating an account with a hosting service?  Some are quite inexpensive, down around $4/mo. Quote
