I GET a flashing message at my website, www.jessez.mbhosting.com after I added an image to it. I am supposed to have this image for an extra service that I have for my website.

This is the image:
http://www.freedomain.co.nr/images/bars/anima.gif

Its very annoying, besides, im not HOTLINKING, I was supposed to have this.

Is there any way to make it stop?
BTW: This is half rant, half wanting help, thats for your FYIYou may have to live with it.  Stuff like this often goes along with free hosting.  That should be no surprise.

By the way, are you actually supposed to link the image to a URL?  I would think that was the intent of the hosting service.do you have access to the HTML source .... identify the IMG SRC command that is posting this to your webpage and remove it...

The WEBHOST may have a feature that will test your code and repopulate the gif and link... Is this a free web host??? I've seen free webhosts merge their own code into pages to be a nuisance ...

Probably not much help, but check it out if you are familiar with HTML editingDid you add the HTML that came with it? I believe you're given the option EITHER put the HTML on the page or put the Picture and link it to there site something like that.Unfortunately, no HTML came with the image. They didnt even tell how to add it.

I am just going to wait until they attack me with complaints, then I will probably save the image to my server.

Oh goodness

What a deal for a free service

Its not webhosting, its so I can have a shorter domain, since I dont like all this www.jessez.mbhosting.com buisness, its too long, so I have www.jessez.co.nr or whatever it was nowI got it figured out...
I needed to use a HTML code that was kind of hard to find...what was the code?You have to go on the site, and register and they give you the code.

In new territory here and was wondering if someone could help. In the past I have had other providers host my web sites, but they usually were expensive and nice looking or free with lots of advertisements etc . But ever since learning Linux and how easy Apache is to set up as a web server. I decided to can the outsourced hosting and host it myself through my broadband service.

The question is, I now have a registered Domain name ... Now how do I point the name to my server at say static IP 216.107.217.99:8080

I am thinking that I have to register this web servers Static IP somewhere for me to be able to go to www.mywebsite.com and have it load my website off of my web server. Just not sure where... also my web site is not called www.mywebsite.com, just an example...

Thanks for your help ... DaveHere's something worth reading, although I'm not sure it answers your question: http://www.practicalpc.co.uk/webbuilding/start/hostyourownsite.htm

Edit: Here's another Google find: How do I host my own web site at home?Thanks Soybean ... Usefull Info... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Figured out how to get it to work.... I had to use DNS Forwarding to forward my registered domain name to my IP:port/webpage.htm at www.godaddy.com where I registered my domain name at. Then had to wait a few hours for the change to take effect. Now I can get to my web site through my domain name through forwarding to my Apache Web Server.Normally, you would just tell you domain host to point the domain at an IP address of your choosing.  You cannot point a domain at a port however; use your router to forward port 80 to port 8080 of your webserver on the LAN. Remember to tell Apache what domain it is using.

DNS forwarding isn't  quite the same; I guess that either evidence of it will appear in the URL, or HTML frames are used.  

Once your domain is pointing to your server, you can think about creating your own email server too.  

There are two main drawbacks about hosting anything over broadband, by the way: upload bandwidth and availability.

Although ADSL typically gives you download speeds of up to 2Mbps (or more), upload speeds are usually significantly less (128kbps or so).  If your website is popular or bandwidth-intensive (lots of photos/videos), all of your upstream bandwidth is going to be chewed up pretty fast, and your website users will see frequent timeouts.

As for availability, you cannot host a website or sole email service over DSL, because it is not a guaranteed permanent service.  Email servers must be available 24/7 - so although you could in theory set up your own email server (as I mentioned above), you would also need to have a backup mailserver for when your server is unavailable or overloaded.Rob ... Thanks for all the information.

I was actually thinking of putting together a mail server, but thought that maybe its best to leave it to a free source like Yahoo mail or my ISP's Mail Service VS putting together another server, but the mail and web server services can probably co-exist on the ame srver as long as I dont have a ton of traffic... I have been tempted though to learn how to put together an mail exchange server in Linux. A co-worker who took the Linux course with me over the summer set up I think it was called a Squirrel Mail exchange server, and used either Ubunto or Fedora as the Linux Disto for it.

Do you have any suggestions on if Squirrel Mail is the way to go, or if there is a BETTER one for the Linux platform?

Also, I did actually tell my domain host when I set up my DNS Forwarding my IP address:port/index.htm, so that I could have 2 web servers running, one at myipaddress:8080/index.htm and the other at myipaddress:8079/index.htm. I do have port forwarding on my router to 8080 for static IP x.x.x.101 and 8079 for static IP x.x.x.102, each using a unique port and static IP. This way I could host my 2 web servers, with 2 different domain names, and use DNS Forwarding through the same IP and direct them directly to the systems hosting the web pages and have no problems. Without adding ports to the DNS Forwarding it wouldn't work. Would come up as Page Not Found. But by pointing directly to it including the home page of index.htm, whammo, it worked!!!

I did however see what you were talking about where the URL changes to the forwarded information of instead of www.mydomainname.com to http://216.107.215.99:8080/index.htm. To get rid of this I believe I can pay an extra fee to Mask it as www.mydomainname.com . Is masking the only option to hide the actual URL info at myipaddress:port/index.htm ? :-?

Hello.

I'm curious if Google will show up search results with PAGES which includes iframes in the DOCUMENT. I own a website and I tried searching google for specific content on the site, and google did not show the IFRAME page.

ThanksAn IFRAME is not CONSIDERED PART of a web page - it is a container for another web page (or other content).  So the contents of an IFRAME will never be indexed with the containing page.

I would like to make a PHP file that can save a line of INFORMATION into a text file (with a .DAT extension) and then another that can RETRIVE and display it...

How?RTF*M  

http://uk.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php






*F = filesystem

I found the following script on the internet, which shows all the files in a DIR. Great script, and it even doesn't show the file index.php. Now my question is, how do I make that it doesn't show other files neither. For example I protect the folder with a .htaccess file, and a .htpasswd file, and the file .ftpquota shouldn't be LISTED to. Anyone knows how to do this? It would be nice if I can enter which files shouldn't be listed in a list in the php file Do you understand any of that script, Blackberry?yes I do, I understand all the html and some of the php. But understanding and doing things by yourself is yet another THING, FIRST I tried the following thing:

*Copy the line if( $file != 'index.php' ) { till } again, and changed index.php to my files
  Didn't work, because then I saw index.php too
*Then I tried  if( $file != 'index.php,.htacess' ) but that didn't work to.
So I don't know a solution

[edit]Found my solution

$notshow = ARRAY('index.php', '.htaccess', '.htpasswd', '.ftpquota');
if(!in_array($file, $notshow)) {

[/edit]I knew you could do it.

Hi  

I'm in desperate NEED of some help with my tables/web design.

On the front page of my website, I wish to display two different 'blocks' of text,  one as navigation menu on the left, and the main text in the center without them going UNDERNEATH each other, as if I had typed


If anyone could help, I'd be greatly appreciative.

Thanks!Nesting isn't needed for this (unless you're already WITHIN a table).  Just start with this skeleton:

CODE: [Select]
<table border='0'>
  <tr>
    <td valign='top'>
      Navigation side
    </td>
    <td valign='top'>
      Content side
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>Thankyou!No problem.  Let us KNOW if you want to do anything else with tables too!  (Like fixed-width columns, etc.)

hi, i am new to this site and i might not be in the right place....so please bear with me.....all of a sudden i am opening my internet browser on my laptop and it will flash up on the screen and then CLOSE right away....NEVER had this problem before..I have tried RESTARTING...but that is no help....any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advanceWhat browser, what OS what happened prior to this and what PROTECTION programs are you running along with MAYBE what kind of laptop and we can get right on this...

If a website has many pages and the site ranks in SEARCH engines and if all the pages are given a different layout all of a sudden(by CHANGING the web design format of all the pages to another pattern) and if this change is done
within a week, will it be banned from the SEs (or will its rank be lowered)?

ThanksChange of content would be important; change of layout isn't.  For this reason, re-styling through CSS is always your best option, for a whole host of reasons.

Google et al do not generally give PRECISE details about how they calculate rankings, because that would make it much EASIER for people to force a ranking increase.  So it's hard to answer your question precisely.  That siad, I SEE no reason for there to be a problem, unless, say, your website was originally about hardcore porn, and you then changed it to be about squirells...Or vice versa....

Heres my problem.

Im trying to create a website for my cod2 gaming CLAN, I want to use php. But im having problems in getting it sorted.

 I want a profeshional finish I just CANT seem to get making the site myself. Im going to be using free webspace and domain because its a relitively small clan. Im having trouble finding a free webspace for my needs.

In the instructions for php installation (im using subdreamer v2.2.3 by the WAY). Because it says it need to upload all of the files to the server. On all the webspaces I have found it only allows me to upload "files" at a time, and theres no option to upload "entire folders" at a time. This part is difficult because there are several folders, sub folders and more folders each containing numerous folders and files.

The only other why I can think of doing this is using an FTP CLIENT, but as yet I have found no free websites that give information on how to connect via ftp and im not sure if there are any ftp clients that allow entire folder uploads.

So im asking, can you tell me wheres theres a good free website (no adds please) that can suit my needs and an ftp client.

Id appreciate your help! thanks

Hi,
Here is a completely new one on me, but I'm hoping someone can help me.

If a user clicks on the X (top right) to close or types a new address into the address bar etc. but is leaving the site completely in any case, is it possible for them to get a quick IE box asking if they would like to SAVE the site to their favourites before they go. Then they get a yes/no option. If they click on yes the site should go straight to favourites and they can carry on going to WHEREVER they were going.

Is that possible with HTML, PHP or whatever?Not that I know of, You see my thoughts toward that is complete laziness as it is right there in front of you all you have to do is click the favorites tab, and click add to favorites. You could try designing your own browser and put a command in there...onClose do add favorites(Not a real method in programming), and of course you will have alot of security issues. Another option is to have a JavaScript popup in the OnUnload() event of your site, which is an HTML PAGE that asks with a Yes or No button. I must warn you, however, that your visitors will not love you for it, and it tends to scare away traffic.My mistake is he trying to make a website that does that? This would be your best bet. Sorry for misunderstanding as you didn't say it was for one of your sites.I have found your anser...How much will you pay me? JK LOL .
Here ya go...

Hi again,

I need a function that allows you to read form variables from static HTML and write them on a txt file on the server. I need to make a database but I can only use HTML and javascript because my host allows only that.
The script MUST be able to read certain fields from a form and write them to a file.

Can you PLEASE help me?
Thank you very much...I am not a Javascript expert and I would like it to be complete...if possible.
I have found something while googleing this....if this can help you help me use it...maybe its not complete...or...I don't know :

function getVar(name)
         {
         get_string = document.location.search;        
         return_value = '';
        
         do { //This loop is made to catch all instances of any get variable.
            name_index = get_string.indexOf(name + '=');
            
            if(name_index != -1)
              {
              get_string = get_string.substr(name_index + name.length + 1, get_string.length - name_index);
              
              end_of_value = get_string.indexOf('&');
              if(end_of_value != -1)                
                value = get_string.substr(0, end_of_value);                
              else                
                value = get_string;                
                
              if(return_value == '' || value == '')
                 return_value += value;
              else
                 return_value += ', ' + value;
              }
            } while(name_index != -1)
            
         //Restores all the blank space
 space = return_value.indexOf('+');
         while(space != -1)
              {
              return_value = return_value.substr(0, space) + ' ' +
              return_value.substr(space + 1, return_value.length);
                                          
              space = return_value.indexOf('+');
              }
          
         return(return_value);        
         }

You cannot use client-side scripting (javascript) to write to a server-side file.  For that you need server-side scripting, such as PHP, Perl, ASP, Ruby, etc, etc.  It would be pretty dangerous if javascript could do things like this, since javascript can be modified at the client (browser) end.  So that would allow you to TAKE control of someone's webserver, if what you are suggesting were possible.

HI!   I'm new here, but not to HTML creation. Still, I have a question about RADIO buttons in forms.
I am an English teacher working inside a large Japanese electronics company. Mostly the engineers here consult with me about their English DOCUMENT writing. One of my on-going PROJECTS is to create a weekly e-mail quiz (usually questions about Eng vocab.). This is quite easy to produce using HTML forms. Now that I have a couple of basic templates CREATED for this, I'm looking for ways to add some sparkle and glitter to the weekly quiz. So...
Using input type=radio to create multiple-chose questions looks and works very good. What I would like to do is have the answer text associated with a radio BUTTON change to bold when it's radio button is selected. Or something else... anything to make that selection stand out, besides just the radio button "dot". Hopefully, something easy, and not pages of java script.  :-/
But in any case, all advice and suggestions are welcome.  
Cheers from Japan!
DeeJavascript is necessary to do this, I'm afraid.  How's your coding?  Something like document.getElementById('label1').style.fontWeight = 'bold' on the onClick for the radio button would do the job.Thanks Rob. I'll play with that and see if I can make it work.  

DeeNo problem.  Let us know if you get stuck.Hey! It works like a champ. No problem at all getting it to work. Thanks!   8-)
Now I have to figure out how to turn it off so that only the selected radio button has bold text.
But don't tell me! Let me see if I can figure it out myself.  

Cheers,
DeeHint: use a function.

Simply put: I WANT a table to GO all the WAY down to the bottom of the page until I push it farther with CONTENT.  The catch...

Row 1: 51px
Row 2: 40px
Row 3: Stretchy
Row 4: 20px
Row 5: 40px

I currently have height: 100% for (using CSS) and then height: for the first cell in each row except for row 3.

I have an ASP application running on win2003 server. when I try to run it on another 2003 server I get the message:

The XML page cannot be displayed

cannot view XML INPUT USING XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button' or try again later.

A string literal was expected' but no opening quote character was found. Error processing resource 'http://servername.


I had the exact same message when opening a .xml from a EMAIL. The solution in my case was to save the file locally (i.e. in my docs rather than in the outlook temp folder) and then open it from there.

Hope this helpssize=2 should read SIZE="2", for strict XML, I GUESS.

Hello,

I would like to know how to anchor an image with FrontPage 2003 or if I have to change the HTML code. Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thank You

Al968Exactly what do you mean by "anchor"?I mean so that the picture doesn't move ANYMORE according to the screen resolution and size of browser window.

Thanks

Al968This applies to text, also, doesn't it?  Are you using tables to layout your page?  I suspect you're using them and setting width attributes as a percentage instead of a fixed width.  Change your technique to fixed width.  Does that solve your problem?If you want to PUT SOMETHING in a fixed position, you need to use CSS styling and the "position: absolute" attribute, along with "left: ..." and "top: ...".  FrontPage probably protects you from the nitty gritty detail of this but I can't help you with FP specifics, because I avoid that program like the plague.So, Rob, you're saying using height and width attributes with tables will not keep things in a fixed position?   :-?Correct.  And in fact browsers have an annoying habit of ignoring the "width" attribute on over-long columns.  Fixed width containing DIVs are needed, to correct that.You can do this in Front Page with layers (using div tags). To do this from the design (WYSIWYG) PORTION click insert and select layer. This will create a new layer that can be moved anywhere on the page. Click within the layer and insert an image within that layer. That layer will have a fixed position to wherever you drag it and will STAY in that fixed resolution regardless of the resolution.

But after going on my home page I get an error message that I have been unable to fix and im completely baffled.

Im not sure what this can mean. Ive tried looking everywhere but I cant find anything, I tried to use their help forums but for some strange reason I couldnt register and it doesnt cover the error anywhere in the manual.
http://www.subdreamer.com/manuals/index.php

So im asking if anyone can help me please!

Thanks
any help please?It looks like you have not run the configuration script yet (if there is one).  The error message means that the database has not been set up.  Go back over the installation instructions and pay close ATTENTION to any bits about databases.Well heres what I did.

I created a MySQL database with the webspace, I then ran the startup script and filled in necesary information about the database. It said "site created succesfully!" when I clicked on it the error message came up. Im not sure where I could have gone wrong, but in the manual it says I should CHMOD (file permissions) to 777. I did this with all available files but I could not locate
4) ./admin/backup/
5) ./admin/languages/Custom_Language.php
to CHMOD them,

And I have tried to install it many times always comng up with the same error.

Cany any one suggest a free, easy to use PHP client for my site?"PHP client"?  What do you mean?  PHP is an interpreted language, typically (but not exclusively) running on a web server.  There is no "PHP client", per se.

If you're after a free CMS though, that's a different matter.  Google for "open source CMS" and happy reading. Quote

Well im installing Subdreamer CMS v2.2.3 I dont know why the files just arnt there, and I have the full version which hasnt been altered..

Looking at your webhosts list of supported features, PHP isn't one of them, yet they list PHPMyAdmin...hum :-?.

I am trying to add a link in html that would send the page using default MAIL client. I have seen it don before but cant seem to figure it out.
What I basicly want to do is the same THING that HAPPENS when you goto page and select the option to "send link by e-mail" I have seen it done other ways with .pl files and using cgi but I am trying to stay away from that.
Is there anyway to make  a link that forces the IE to select "Page" then" send link by e-mail"?Bearing in mind that both IE and FF have an option on the File menu to send a web page as a link, why do you want to embed the feature into your web page?  The browser will do it from the File menu, and it would use the default mail client.I want to have a link BOX at the bottom for customers to click on to that page to friendshttp://javascript.internet.com/page-details/email-this-page.htmlI am tring to stay away from script files.I think I know what you are trying to do. I think this should do what you wanted and it's in HTML. No scripts here.

Code: [Select]<A href="mailto:?subject=This is the link I wanted to send you&amp;body=http://www.mysite.com!">Send Link by Email</A>

subject=This is the link I wanted to send you&body=http://www.mysite.com!

Change that to what you want. Or delete it entirely, if you want the subject line and body to have no text.... but

That code (in gray box above) will give you a link on webpage, and when you click on it, it will OPEN up mail client. For my computer, I have set outlook express as default email client, so that is what opened up.

I don't know how you force IE to send link by email using the page function you wanted, but you can though, send your friend the link of the page you want him or her to see.

We are newbies and cannot find out how to eliminate the "white lines" around the objects (all) that we have PLACED on the chosen dark blue background of our web page. We have looked at transparent and at no-line options but none have had an effect. we are thinking this is an EASILY ENOUGH FIXED item, we just don't know where to look now, probably too close to the issue to see it clearly. Any ideas? ThanksGet rid of the border around the images.

I have a page (let's call this, Page 1) that lists all the records of a particular table of a database. From each row, you can select to either edit or delete the record on that line. When I select edit, I go to another page (page 2) with a form that is dynamically filled with the content from the row I selected earlier on page 1 (parameters were PASSED in the URL to the edit page --page 2-- to load the correct record for editing). On Page 2 you make the necessary CHANGES, then press update to save them. The fields of the table are then sent to the database and they update the record. You are also sent back to the initial Page 1 to see the updated record in a new refreshed list. The problem is that the parameters that were passed initially to the edit page (page 2) are still showing and are now appended to the URL of the new page 1 (the page that I return to after the update takes place). Thus, the URL is now littered with more parameters than I need, and they are keeping the records from showing in the list as they did initially. How do I tell the edit page (page 2) to pass the necessary codes on to the database, but don't send the parameters on to the next page...sort of clean things up, so to speak?

Using Dreamweaver 8, PHP, MySQL to create this.

THANKS,The parameters will only display if you send them on to the next page - either using the GET method in a FORM or coding them into a hyperlink.  In your case, if you don't want to see the parameters in the address box, just use POST instead of GET, and ensure you make any necessary consequent amendments to your code.Okay, I just totally removed all the parameter settings from off the URL that tells PHP, after the update page amends the database, to send me on to another page.

When I try it now, it takes me to the right page, but there isn't data on the page as there should be, and the address bar of the browser still has all the parameters lingering that were sent initially to the update page (page 2) calling the record files into a form for edits.

The update page/form I am using submits using Post to send the updated form data on to the database. So, I don't know why these parameters are still coming along for the ride onto the next page.

 Any help appreciated. Thanks.
(Yes, you MUST have guessed by now...I'm a database newby!)Please be a bit more specific.  Please give an excerpt of the code from the form that submits back to page 1.  Please display the url that appears in your address bar.

Alternative, give a link to the pages in question and I'll test them.

I'm trying to get the text on my website to wrap around a picture. I've seen a friend of mine do it before but I dont remember how to do it. Please help me if you know what I can do or if you know what I have to put into the coding to allow the text to wrap around. If you want to see what I'm talking about you can go to aprilfoolrecords.com and look at the 'About Saiah' section. It's the picture sitting directly above the bio's text. Thanks for your help.. whoever answers this.
-SaiahHow's your html coding skills?
If you know much about css, check out this link and look through the source code to find out how they did it.
If not, let me know and I'll see if I can help you with something a little easier (and not as clean).Sorry but I'm a little html illiterate. lol I know a little but I might need something a little less confusing for me. I hope you can help still me. Thanks for responding back.
ttyl
ok, I'll try to come up with something you can paste into the html to make it wrap around the pic.
But you'll have to give me a free download....
Ok, I figured it out. It's ACTUALLY not as difficult as I initially thought.
Put this tag around the picture you want to text to wrap around.


So it should look like this:
Code: [Select]<p><div STYLE="float:left; margin: 0px 10px 2px 0px;">

Thanks so much for the help man. It worked perfectly....maybe I should read 'HTML for DUMMIES' lol Seriously though...I APPRECIATE the help. Take it easy
-Saiahaww.... so no free song?   oh well. 
Seriously, I like your sound. Good luckhmmm.. I'll make a deal with you. If you go to go to itunes and pick one of the four songs on the single/EP I'll e-mail you a free track. Favor for a favor I guess..lol Thanks for the compliment on the music. Get back to me whenever you get a chance. ttyl

I have created a form in HTML and some of the fields must be filled in before the form is submitted.  INSIDE my form tags I have the following line



If I leave these fields blank and click the Submit button, the form is still sent and I do not get a message telling me that some fields were not filled in.

What am I doing wrong?HTML forms do not work like that.  You'd need to use javascript form VALIDATION, or server-side validation.  Google for "javascript form validation" to learn more. QUOTE

<input type=hidden name="required" value="email,realname,phone">

If I leave these fields blank and click the Submit button, the form is still sent and I do not get a message telling me that some fields were not filled in.

I just installed WampServer with PHP and Mysql with SQLiteManager.
Everything on the install went fine and I can access the JOOMLA setup page. However I cannot get to the MySql tables to create a user login and I have no access to the PHPmyAdmin that was also installed. The browser will pull the favicon but gives a a 404 error code.Did you change the sql passwords in joomla?
Did you configure the security settings in wamp for apache and mysql?
Also, make sure you put the joomla FILES in the right directory.That is the problem I run into. The files are in the correct directory wamp/phpmyadmin but when I go to it to change the password that is the screen, I get the 404 error on.OK so the problem was I had no clue what I was doing. I did a search on youtube.com and found installation instructions. I was the long version not the short one it started with.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6zqKWrvAwMSo did you get it all figured out then?Yes I have got it figured all out, sorry for the delay in my post, I am a busy person.

Just WANT to but in my opinion for CMS and Joomla! in particular. This stuff is awesome!!!
I cant believe I just now found this. I have created a Joomla! site for my personal site and a DotNetNuke site at work for an intranet. It all has a very easy learning curve and once setup is a "GOD Send" (Yes that is tribute to Heroes). The sites have forums, Wiki's, email, one EVEN has an invoice system. For those on a budget, the great news is, it is Open Source. Completely Free! I did pay for the invoice add-on, but that was a personal choice.

For those interested try OpenSourceCMS.org

ok say i have a domain: www.yoursite.com

and then i have a subdomain: blahblah.yoursite.com

I have purchased another domain and want to add it over the subdomain.. How do i do that? What do i put in the NAME servers? as i can't put the same as the original domain as it would just link to the same site surely?

ThanksIf you are using a service for the subdomain, you will need to contact the administrator of the subdomain and find out how doing this works with their servers. There should be an IP address that MIGHT LOOK like this:
72.14.253.147/~yoursite

You will need to configure the domain to redirect to that address, but in order to find that address, you will need to contact the provider of your subdomain first.

(Different servers = different systems = different configurations. We cant help you with a DEFINITE answer)

Also, make sure that its acceptable in your subdomain providers policy to make sure that this is acceptable on their terms.ok thanks for the help, i'll try that and let you know.

Hi there.

Im currently making a website in my spare time. Im trying to create a navigation bar but lack knowledge in java and image editing.

The center of it should look like this.


Then im hoping to have navigation buttons (links) on each side, when you scroll over them with the mouse they light up *dynamic buttons*. This Is want I want anyway. Advice on how I might achieve this would be appreciated.

ThanksIt's not just Java you can do this with, you should try flash. Flash is alot easier to develop that sort of dynamic content.

 8-)fffreakBut er, what EXACTLY do I need to do this? any particular programes? are there any templates I could use? my graphical ability is limited, I have macromedia fireworks but cant use it that WELLYOU can DOWNLOAD one >here&LT;, you can design your own >here<. Or you could make a "homemade" menu, but that will take some coding. If you need anymore HELP use Google.

8-)fffreakFireworks is actually a pretty good tool for this kind of job, because it can create all the relevant javascript for this to make it an HTML + javascript action navigation bar.  No Flash or Java needed.

I strongly recommend that you follow the excellent tutorials that come with the standard Fireworks install - they will greatly enhance what you do with this top quality web design tool.

Hello!
I salute everybody in this forum, I have a problem and I NEED solution to this problem; I want to understand how to use Dreamweaver for designing Web-Site and I want a very simple steps to understand this.

So, dear friends where can I start from? I need your adviseHere is a LINK to a TUTORIAL for Dreamweaver. Not sure how GOOD it is as I've never used it. If you look around you might be able to find some more/other tutorials on the net. Google is your friend  Do a search on Yahoo! for Dreamweaver tutorials. That's what any of us on the forum will do to post links...
Check out www.webmonkey.com, too... they've got tutorials on everything web related.

Hi,

I am learning to use HTML but running into a small problem.

I wanted a link that when viewers clikc on it, it will play music, I used this code:
HREF="music/music1.mp3">Song 1.[/url]

It does play music when the link was clicked, but it POPS a seperate page with only the QT CONTROL bar. What I want is it to do is to open a QT player or not thing at all, just play music in the background, how do I do that?

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know of any WEBSITES that have HTML weather?HTML? do you mean XML?
What are you needing to do with it? A little DIRECTION will help us give you ideas.

Nguyen, I've been there and my site isn't even commercial as such. It's just a free games lounge. Period.

I tried free webspace and keywords got completely dismissed, PHP scripts were not enabled and what's worse is that from what I can understand (I am totally self-taught which can be a nightmare) the more content you have up there, the more pages that will simply not display for the user. If you cram the freespace up to the hilt, even one user would have a problem seeing the pages. At least, I think that's right.

I moved over to paid hosting. £50 a year and now I can add as many games as I want and they will display for every user. Keywords galore and more.

As they are saying you get what you pay for.

Free space can work if the site doesn't have too many REQUESTS or too much content. Quote

I want a business website for a product I'm selling

But I'm a little broke and my parents dont give me an allowance

Does anyone know any services that LET oyu have a website for free, while giving you full control of like, everything from he gfx to the pretty much everything?

I've heard of google pages, but you need a cell phone to set up your account, which I do not have. If you have a google pages site tell me how it is as well.

Hi, i have this code at the bottom of a php file that sends an email about form data as some of you know.

I want it to redirect to an url after the form data has been sent. At the moment all I can get it to do is bring up a new page with the echo wording "Thankyou for contacting us.. blah blah". I want it to go to say:

www.mysite.com/index.html for example.

Code: [Select]// if the redirect option is set: redirect them
if ($redirect) {
   header("Location: $redirect");
   exit;
} else {
   echo "THANK you for contacting us. We will contact you shortly!\n";
   echo "<br><br>\n";
   exit;
}
What do i need to change for it to work?

I'm PRETTY sure it's in the line: header("Location: $redirect");

Thanks.Please help? I need to get this done:(

Thanks.try this, it *should* work.

Code: [Select]// if the redirect option is set: redirect them
if ($redirect) {
   header("Location: $redirect");
   exit;
} else {
   echo "<body onload='javascript:location=http://www.yahoo.com'>\n";
   echo "Thank you for contacting us. We will contact you shortly!<br>\n";
   echo "If you are not redirected, <a href='http://slashdot.org'>click here</a>.<br>\n";
   exit;
}
umm, it doesn't lol.. It just stays on a white page with the text "Thank you for contacting us. We will contact you shortly!
If you are not redirected, click here." where click here is the link you set. It doesn't redirect to yahoo.com:( or anywhere for that matter!AH got it to work:)

all i needed to do was change where you had written: Code: [Select]   echo "<body onload='javascript:location=http://www.yahoo.com'>\n";

to Code: [Select]   echo "<body onload=javascript:location='http://www.yahoo.com'>\n";

If you can't see the difference, its the first '  I have MOVED it from before the word "javascript" to infront of the url "http://www.yahoo.com".

Cheers michael;)

Argh!  I just typed out my whole post and accidentally deleted it (not really sure what I hit) and I can't undo the change.  BLAH.  Anyway...

I have to make a site for a class I'm taking and that's just fine and dandy.  We have access to an FTP SERVER that will host all of our pages and files and whatnot.  But I just have to be a big show-off and include music downloads (and possibly videos and/or Flash displays or something equally excessive).  Unfortunately, the server can't accomodate all of the space and bandwidth needed for this stuff, and I share the server with HUNDREDS of other students and faculty members and I'd really hate to get in trouble, so I went in SEARCH of free FILE hosts.  I found several decent hosts, but the best two seem to be SnapDrive and UploadingIT.  These hosts are definitely sufficient for my needs, so that's taken care of.  But I want to make sure that they're actually reliable.

Do you guys have any experience with either of these hosts?  And if so, have you been satisified with their services?  That's really all I'd need to know.  Thanks for your opinions.

I just bought a domain, and Im not really familiar with php, but I am with HTML. I was looking to make a forum on my site, but Im not sure how to do that. Anyone have any advice? Or know any programmers that would be willing to help?
Or maybe you can REDIRECT me to a site that has the codes to make a forum? D: You will need to download and INSTALL a forum on your site.
Examples are SMF, phpBB, vBulletin (not free), yaBB, and many more.
This forum uses SMF, and I must say I find it easy to use.
once you download a forum there will be a readme or help file included, that will EXPLAIN exactly how to install the forum and configure it.
Hope this helps.Thanks! It helped a lot You're welcome.

That means I need to enter the acutal name of my site?It sounds like you need to enter the directory to install the forum.

Hi,
I WOULD like to make a personal website for which I am in need of some Flash templates. I have downloaded  free templates from web site design company but i want some more. Are there any Flash templates available free from any sites ? I have searched on Google and found that most of the flash templates available not free.
If you know about any editable free templates on net, please let me know

Try a search for "free flash templates"
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=free+flash+templates

I found a bunch of good links on yahooi can design you one for free.
You have to code it on ur own tho.These are not free, but they are reasonable.

They are customizable and you're not LIMITED in design like you would be if you were to use free templates.

My advice would be to spend a few bucks and get the design you want.  Never settle for anything less.

Of course, it's your decision.

The LINK above has ALREADY been EDITED to narrow the results for these templates.  I did a search for "flash templates personal pages".  Maybe you'll find something you like.

I have a code from addfreestats.com that I am trying to work on my PAGE

http://home.earthlink.net/~stumble/  at the bottom

SandyWhat version of FrontPage are you using?  With FrontPage 2000 in Normal mode, you should click on Insert, Advanced, HTML, and insert the code into the box that appears.  Looks like it's working now.You have to copy the code under HTML preview.

Hi:

I am building a FULL Flash site and want to add music.

Do you add the music to its own scene, so that when you TRAVEL from page to page (scenes), the music does not interupt?   If so, how do you have two scenes play at the same time?   Please help.

Gary I don't know MUCH about flash, but I imagine you should have it set up as it's own scene. Check your FAVORITE search engine for flash tutorials or get a book.

Building a website and i want music to play in the backround, how do i do this? iv seen on the SITE were it says


but how do i know what the src of my music is?The source of your music is the name of your file that you want to be played when the page LOADS in the user's browser.  Assuming the file is located in the same folder as the HTML page you'd would only NEED the file name, otherwise you'll need to include directory names along with the file name.  For example, if you had a music file named 'file.wav' located in a folder named 'music', the source would be 'music/file.wav'.  Just so you know, the bgsound TAG only works in IE and is generally FROWNED upon when used, particularly if its loop parameter is set to 'infinite'.  Hopefully this was helpful in answering your question.src refers to the link where your music file exists. if it is in same place as your html file, just use file name. otherwise, give full address of where music exists.

We need to create a web page that will show our customers their reports. The reports will need to be created using our sql tables and of course their web access login. Any ideas for me to take a look at. I have only cretaed websites using frontpage and templates. I would like some easy to use software if there is anything. If you're looking for something easy, find a professional to do it for you.
If you feel like tackling it yourself, you will need to learn quite a lot about php. It's a server-side programming language that is fairly easy to learn and is very common in the www.
Is there any good php software out there I can take a look at? I am not opposed to learning code, was just trying to avoid it.The software you need to write php code is just a text editor like notepad or notepad++
To run the code, you need to have a server with php support. You can set up your own apache server with php by downloading xampp from www.apachefriends.org. Or you can use your current web host if they support php.

To get a good start on php, I recommend going to Barnes & Noble or Borders or another local bookstore and looking through their selection on BOOKS for learning php & mysql.
I think 'PHP for Dummies' would be my best bet. But yes if I go this way I will go get a book. But from a little research on php it sounds like I will have to convert my SQLserver databases to another style, is this correct?Actually php can interface with several different sql databases and other extensions outlined here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.extensions.php

Hello,

I am trying to create a basic "email me" form for a website, I've looked on google however I can't seem to find a sollution. My server has php support. If anyone could point me to a website or a tutorial that in a relativly easy way shows how to do that it would be very appreciated.

Thanks
