Solve : Cannot View Source Code?

Answer»

Hello,

Please keep in mind I'm a newbie, so keep instructions step by step

I'm able to view source codes anywhere but my site, can someone tell me what has happened?

Also the IE icon that is before the address in the address bar does not show up on my site either, once again it shows everywhere else.

I'm running XP Pro and EI 6.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Did you design the site yourself? What's the website? Have you tried it with anyone else's computer?michaewlewis.....I've sent you a private message, no I haven't tried it on someones elses computer, the site was done by someone else not me.

Thanks,
FiddleI'm losing my marbles, now it's there! Why is this happening?I've had this problem myself.
And I know why.

I made a site with PHP.

and let's SAY, when the site is being loaded, the adress would be:
www.mysite.com/index.php

Let's say, in the same (root) DIRECTORY on the server, there's also a file called "image.php".
This file could be used to DISPLAY images in a browser (PERHAPS a pop up window)

So, on the homepage is an image, to display it bigger, u CLICK on it and image.php will display it.

But....and here's the part why you can;t view the source:
The web adress has changed.

Instead of www.mysite.com/index.php
It now has become:

www.mysite.come/index.php#

Well this was the case in my site.

I only could view the website's source when the # wasn't at the end of the URL

So maybe it's the same in your case?

Solve : .htaccess file?

Answer»

Hi there,

I have a server, a LOCAL server (localhost) and an online server who have both apache 2.0. Now I try to execute the underlined command in a .htaccess file, but the server gives an error. Perhaps
mod_rewrite isn't activated, but I don't know how to do this (please note, that I can not access
the setting file from php nor apache on the online server, because it is SHARED hosting. Perhaps you
can change settings in a .htaccess file, don't know). Perhaps it is an other PROBLEM...
My code is:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^cms/([a-z]*)/(.*).html module.php?code=$1-$2
RewriteRule ^admin/([a-z]*)/(.*).html admin.php?code=$1-$2


And I get on both servers the following error:

[Mon Feb 19 16:51:51 2007] [alert] [client 127.0.0.1] *path to error*: Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

It seems like the mod isn't installed or activated, buth I rather think it is the last one. Any help how to (perhaps install it?) or activate it? or just a solution to this problem.

Thanks

Blackberry

P.S. bonus QUESTION, on my local host I can't run php info, how can you set this on (there I CAN access the config file..) Quote

Perhaps mod_rewrite isn't activated
Correct - that's what it looks like.  The ISP may have disabled it for security reasons.

Quote
Perhaps you can change settings in a .htaccess file, don't know
Not that one.  The httpd.conf would need altering and Apache reloading.

Quote
bonus question, on my local host I can't run php info, how can you set this on (there I CAN access the config file..)
In your php.ini:

expose_php = Onand how can you set rewriteenginte on in the settings file? What line should I editIn httpd.conf, you want something like:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

See also http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.htmlThat worked, thanks, Rob!No problem.

Solve : Question...HTML Emails?

Answer»

How easy is it to create a best buy/circuit city like email to be sent out to people.  Basically the email would contain many images that when clicked on would take the user to the product to purchase on the website.  I created a mock email of what I want it to look like through Photoshop.  I was ASSUMING I could image map it, which I did and WORKS fine but how would I email an image map out to the public?  Or is there an easier way to do this?Images have to be LINKED....
What email program do you use?You can use php to send out mass EMAILS (html and plain text). Most spammers use this method because it's cheap and easy. You're not trying to start spamming people are you?
I really don't recommend using an image map. Some people don't have html enabled for their inbox. They wouldn't be able to see anything, in that case.
Best thing to do is to use as much text as possible, and less images. The message will load FASTER that way too.

Solve : page implementation?

Answer»

I am desinging a website, and have run into a problem:
Advertizing

Our main pages are built using HTML. What we need to do is make a box (Hopfuly to the side of the webpage) that has a .shtml page inside it. Since frames are not always supported on all WEB browsers, we would like to avoide them (That, and we already tried using frames, it messed our code up a bit, and we had to revert. )
We are using Dreamweaver, and the advertizements we are trying to implement into the pages are using Entropy BannerSorry to say this, but I think frames would be the best way to go. What happened when you used frames, how bad did it mess up?

8-)fffreakThanks for the quick reply, Ffreak.
It SEEMS that when I started adding the coding:
Code: [Select]<frameset rows="8%">

  <frame src="frame_a.htm">


</frameset>All my page content went: BAM!
And it was gone. The frames starting making two new files, even though it was just supposed to split the current screen.

If I have to use frames: What I would like to do is make index.htm show advert.shtml on the bottom (or side) of the page. How would I do this?
(And to think, I run a webdesign forum!   )

Also, I would like to make it so that it will only load on certain pages. I dont want it to be displayed in the news, or the CATALOG. Any way to do this?LOL, hold on a sec. I'll see what I can do. (Hopefully :-/)

8-)fffreak Quote

LOL, hold on a sec. I'll see what I can do. (Hopefully :-/)

8-)fffreak
Thanks, Ffreak! I really apperciate it!Well I hope something like this may help you...Sorry I was kind of in a rush. It is just a layout, hopefully you can use it though.

8-)fffreakOr you could always use an iframe, but it may not look as good.Hmm... I am not sure wether its going to work or not. I know its possible to put one HTML file inside another into a non-framed box, I just dont know how. If I find an example, I will tell you.Here is a screenshot of my YaBB Fourm Administration Center, it SHOWS what I am talking about, and yes, I do realize that that is Perl no HTML, but it works for an example
The arrow points to the place where an external page is located.Have a read >here<.

8-)fffreakYou could probably use something along the lines of this. It uses an iframe, I used the color black to emphasize the LOCATION of the iframe.I will try it, thank you
(I hope it works!)As do I .

Solve : Using boxes in FrontPage?

Answer»

This is a case of wanting to avoid problems before I START...

Until now I've always designed pages using tables split into cells, but I want to re-design my website's homepage using separate text boxes and picture boxes that can be moved to any place on the page. I'm not planning on using web components such as radio buttons, banners etc. - just straightforward boxes with text inside them serving as hyperlink.

However, some time ago - on an old website - I added a COUPLE of SMALL, separate text boxes and was told by someone visiting the site that these were "scattered all over the place". THANKFULLY these weren't on the index page and it was simply a matter of removing them. This time, my aim is to replace my index page with this new version featuring an array of text boxes, and I don't want to do it if I'm going to end up with a mess.

Can someone tell me how "well-behaved" FrontPage is when using boxes?Sorry, I don't know anything about Front Page. I found it to be just a clunky program not WORTH the time or money. I create all my own code for websites.
I guess the only way to see if it will work the way you want it to, is to create the page (or at least a draft) and use a bunch of different browsers to check compatibility.
Check it with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, and Netscape. If it works with IE and Firefox, then 90% of the world will be fine with your page.

Solve : Photos won't display?

Answer»

I'm having trouble with a slide show.  I check the CODE and narrowed it down to the pictures themselves.  The slide show that works is this:

http://www.slaterhome.com/2006/Nick/main.html

The one that won't work is this:

http://www.slaterhome.com/2006/brazil/main.html

The pictures are there, I even put another picture in the folder and it displayed, so the problem is with the picture, but what?  They're all .jpg just like all the others I have.  The pictures were TAKEN with a digital camera, I think.  Are there two different codes for .jpg?  Thanks!

ASlaterWell the pictures 1-5, 7, 13-42, 46, and 47 don't even exist. Your HTML and javascript are fine. My guess is you haven't uploaded them to the server yet. This is the link to the very first picture that would be displayed, >here<, as you can see for yourself, that they don't exist on the server. And this is a link to the first picture that you can see after clicking "Next Slide" 6 times, >here<. Some photos are there, others are not.

8-)fffreakIt's displaying the 1.jpg picture now, I uploaded it again (I had saved it as JPG and the code was jpg) .  I had messed around with the pictures, putting them in different places in my computer.  But it's the only one, and yes, I checked, the pictures are there.  The missing pictures are just names, it should have no influence (picture 5, 7, etc.).  Thanks again for looking.
ASlaterI just looked, and realized what you're saying.  I never went past picture 2 because it wouldn't display 1, 2, 3, etc...  Anyway, I'll upload the specific pictures again, maybe that's all I need to do. I REALLY feel stupid now.  All the pictures that aren't displaying are named JPG, and the code is jpg.  DUMB DUMB DUMB.  Thank you for taking a look, though, now I can fix it.  I honestly don't know how that happened, I never use capitals - only to curse at myself.

ASlaterI see, yes that does matter if the extension is .JPG or .jpg. And yes the pictures do not exist under the filenames in the source code.

8-)fffreakThanks, fffreak.  I just feel sooo stupid.  I even figured out how it happened - transfering the files to the web folder and changing them intead of OPENING from one folder, changing and then saving as to a different folder.  Too MANY steps!  And photoshop doesn't distinguish JPG or jpg, it'll open both and you can't see how it's saved, only my FTP program shows.  Again, thanks.

Solve : want to recolor the bg but there is a table?

Answer»

yeah, i could not figure out how to put TEXT on the side of the main text so i used the source of ANOTHER website(which you are very likely to be on now) and took out all the stuff i didnt want and CHANGED everything. the problem is that there is a table and i dont know how to make just the regular background black

Code: [Select]<bgcolor="#000000"&GT;<font color="#FF0000">
<div align="center">
  <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" width="96%">
    <tr>
      <td align="left" valign="top" width="195">&nbsp;<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2" bgcolor="#000000">
        <tr>
          <td bgcolor="#000000"><font color="#FF0000"><b>&nbsp;Links</b></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td bgcolor="#808080">
<p class="lb">
<a href="http://google.com">Home<br>
          </a><a href="http://google.com">Pics</a><br>
<a href="http://google.com">Stories</a><br>

        </tr>

      <p>&nbsp;</td>
      <td align="left" valign="top">
      <h3>
<td bgcolor="#000000"><font color="#FF0000">
      <br><big><big><b>Left Handed World</h3></b></big></big>
<p>This is the main body text of the page.</p>

       
   

You have one problem that I see. There is no such tag as . Change it to and you'll be set.gamerx365, do you want the whole page to have a black bacground, or just the table?  I'm not sure, based on your wording.  If the table, then you need to put the bgcolor tag inside the table tag, not the body tag, LIKE this: Quote from: michaewlewis on November 21, 2007, 04:21:45 PM

Solve : Flash-based interactive site. Need assistance.?

Answer»

Basically, I know very little Flash.  I recently began talks with a client who wants a very interactive website.  I figured that the best way to do something like that was Flash, but I don't know ANY ActionScript, and I know very little about the program otherwise.

Are there any good links to flash TUTORIALS that are web-oriented, rather than presentation-oriented (etc.)?

Basically, I need to know how to do a lot of interaction with the mouse.

Basic Overview of site:
1)Image
2)Image breaks (explodes) into a few PIECES when user mouses over the flash video
3)The pieces contain words
4)User mouses over word, it highlights, and user clicks word/image piece
5)Menu with multiple selections pops up (or fades in) and the user selects one.
6)The selection is stored and displayed on the CORRECT image piece.
7)The user continues to do this until all of the pieces have been selected.
8)The image is "fixed" with the User's selections.

That's about it.

Also, my client wants (if possible) to have the cursor be a plastering/stucco...ing trowel, and for page changes (like when the menus come up) to be an image sweep (a trowel sweeps across the screen, ushering in the next screen behind it)

Anyone know of a tutorial or HELP that is geared TOWARD these kinds of things?

I understand that none of you want to write (and you WON'T) an application this large, but does anyone have any pointers?  What are the ActionScript 2.0 functions I need to learn most urgently?

Solve : Handling MHT files, saving and viewing with IE/Opera.?

Answer»

I want to make my own mht FILES.  I use dreamweaver and have some basic HTML knowledge.  My problem is that I can make a webpage, but dreamweaver can't save it as a .mht file.  Anyone know if it's possible?

I use opera 9.23 and have a bind I always use to save the webpage I'm viewing as a mht file.  Works wonderfully and I can view 99% of them offline with both IE/Opera.  I use Quick Saver 2.1

Here's one way I've tried MAKING a mht.  Create the html file in dreamweaver, with images and all included in it.  Then I open it up in Opera/IE and it looks fine with my local content.  I try to use Quick Saver 2.1 with opera.  It SAVES the mht, but I can't view it in Opera.  I can tell it saves all the images too, because the html file is only 30kb, but with all the other files it'll bring the mht file to like 500kb.

I've tried opening the mht in MS Word and resaving it as .mht.  I've tried opening it up in Opera & IE and saving it as MHT the manual way.  No matter what all I get is a blank white page.

It seems saving as MHT is only working for online content/pages.Try using Internet Explorer or Firefox to convert the page to mht. Any luck there?
You could also try this html to mht converter on sourceforge.net: http://sourceforge.net/projects/html2mht/
I haven't tried it, so I don't know how well it works.That's a neat little tool.  Works kinda good.  Still problems.

I use http://my.opera.com/Lex1/blog/show.dml/1215799 that.

It seems saving with IE works, but can only be viewed in IE.  I want to save with Opera (or get a dreamweaver plugin to export to MHT) and view in opera!


EDIT:  I asked Opera forums.  They HELPED me out.  Incase anyone had the same probs, here's the link.

I don't know what the upload speed of that site is, but I can't load those images in under 15 minutes.

Could you post the code, please?Ok, got the pictures.

For questions like these, we always NEED a link to the page itself, or you should post the code in it's entirety.

Solve : Need Javascript/Scritaculous help!?

Answer»

I'm trying to make some portions of my SITE able to be turned on and off using the scriptaculous javascripts.

I have a section where I want to embed two videos, but I want the section to be collapsable.

Here's what I have in the section:
CODE: [Select]<div align="center" id="vidbox" style="width:855px;"&GT;
      <img src="../../images/general/bar.gif" hspace="0" vspace="0" border="0" onc lick="new EFFECT.Toggle($('vid'),'blind')"/>
      <div id="vid" style="border:#666666; border:medium;">
            <s cript type="text/j avascript">
            AC_AX_RunC ontent(youtube video); //end AC code
            AC_AX_RunC ontent(youtube video); //end AC code
            </s cript>
      </div>
      <img src="../../images/general/barbottom.gif" hspace="0" vspace="0" border="0" />
</div>
At this point, it doesn't seem like the scripts are working at ALL.

I have these four lines in the HEAD portion of the document:

Code: [Select]<s cript src="../../scripts/AC_ActiveX.j s" type="text/j avascript"></s cript>
<s cript src="../../scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.j s" type="text/j avascript"></s cript>
<s cript src="../../scripts/int/prototype.j s" type="text/j avascript"></s cript>
<s cript src="../../scripts/int/scriptaculous.j s" type="text/j avascript"></s cript>
I don't understand why this is not working.  If someone could give me some pointers to get this working, I'd be very grateful.

-rock

p.s. I wasn't sure which scripts were causing the post to not work, so there are a lot of spaces spread around in this that aren't actually there.Can you provide a link to the page in question, please?http://tomrandolph.dyn-o-saur.com/archives/15.11.06/moviesmain.htm

I've also moved the "onclick" code into the first div, that may or may not change the use-ability of the page.  If it were working, I'd know.


Oh, in a related note, how do I decrease the gap between the videos and the top bar to nothing?  I have a feeling it has to do with absolute image positioning, and I'm not very clear on how to do that.

-rockBUMP

...

Anything?Well I can see one problem here:

...onclick="new Effect.Toggle...

None of the javascript has defined the function or object "Effect".  So there's no way that's going to work.

Personally, if I wanted to show or hide elements, I would use an "onClick" event to amend the CSS - e.g. document.getElementById('whatever').style.display = 'none';

Set .display to '' to make the element show again.  Have a read >here<.Hmmm, those scripts came pre-made, I can't imagine they would screw it up that badly.  However, I'd rather write it myself, so thanks for the link.

Edit:

I got the shrinking/growing to work perfectly, but the +/- image never changes, same link.  Any ideas?In swapImage(), instead of:

button.src = "../../images/general/button/minus.gif";

you need:

document.getElementById(button).src = ...Hmm, still isn't working.Sorry - wasn't concentrating well enough.  "button1" needs to be in inverted commas.OH!  It's SOOOOO close.  I'm working on this problem myself as well, but I would appreciate any more help you can give.

When I click the top bar, it now just disappears.  Dunno why, I'm thinking it has to do with the state switching part.

-rock

edit:

Got the top bar to not disappear...I probably just changed the code BACK.  This code SHOULD work.  I don't understand why it isn't.Just take a closer look at this section:

Code: [Select]function swapImage(image, state) {
if (state == "minus") {
document.getElementById('button1').src = "../../images/general/button/barplus.gif";
}
if (state == "plus") {
document.getElementById('button1').src = "../../images/general/button/barplus.gif";
}
}
The same both times...?Mmm, yeah.  I changed that...probably soon after you saw it.  Didn't help.

I did figure out the problem though: I'm a freaking idiot.

^--Yeah.

Had the image sources pointing to a non-existent folder.  After a bit of personal tweaking, it works just fine.

I feel stupid, but thank you very much for your help.

For anyone who's interested, the link to the page is in a few of the above posts, and it works like a charm right now.

-rockOh, I see, that's what you wanted to do. I would have been able to help, it's just that I didn't exactly know what you were talking about.

Answer»

Notice recently that there are many advertisements in the newspapers on internet marketing SEMINARS and boot camps. And there are so many people professing to be net gurus, making this and that amount of money. I am interested to find out more but have always been disappointed by the few I went to. I do not want to be just another reseller for e-books as most “gurus” seem to advocate.

But I have been noticing this ad by the lady –Fione Tan. Not sure if hers is any DIFFERENT but her ads have been appearing monthly for the PAST couple of years already. Her ads also encourage us to sell our own products/ services and not just e-books. However, I’m not sure if it’s useful for me. I’m an average PERSON and not particularly net savvy.

Anyone tried this before and can offer your OPINION if it’s good to attend?

This is probably something very very easy to do, but I'm new to HTML and I can't figure it out. My web PAGE has numerous pictures and I want the name of the item UNDER the picture. The best I've been able to get is the text to APPEAR to the right of the picture...please help!

Solve : Open Office and HTML?

Answer»

Hi there,
I have to make a web site for my EXAM in COMPUTER Science (as you can guess, it's not my field...). It has to be simple, but I have short time. I was wondering if I can just copy and paste the text I've been writing so far, and add the links needed to make it run, without my teacher understanding I didn't ACTUALLY use HTML tags. If so, how do I manage to make it? Your web page must have HTML tags; otherwise, it won't work.  I don't think folks in the forum are going to do this project for you.  You need to do your homework, find references on how to do this, etc.  Of course, numerous online references can be found.  A very good one is http://www.w3schools.com/html/you COULD just put everything in a tag. That way you can FORMAT everything how you want in a text editor, and the browser will display it just like that.
Of course it won't look pretty.

Dear Users
Tell me any good book for which after reading it I am able to make simple and normal website
Thanks

Some HTML books, etc., are mentioned in this thread.

In my OPINION, you probably don't need a book to teach yourself html. It is a very simple, tag based, MARKUP language. Just about any good ONLINE tutorial should suffice. I would recommend the tutorials on www.webmonkey.com - beginning tutorial.
When you start going for more complicated websites that would use php and asp, then you will probably want a book.
Another good tool for learning html is an html cheat sheet like this one. I still find myself looking at this one after 6+ years experience.

Solve : .php etension?

Answer»

I am on the begining stage of learning php

I created a small php fie and save it as [highlight]hworld.php[/highlight]

now when i uploaded it to my SITE it displayed Ok but the address
became [highlight]http://www.mysite.com/hworld.php.txt[/highlight]


Why that [highlight].txt[/highlight] is coming?

ThanksAre you using Notepad? If so right underneath where you put the filename, change the "Save as TYPE" to all files.Yes I am using Notepad.

Ok I again opened that notepad files hworld.php and click at "FILE> Save as" and  change it to "all files".

But then it showed :-

"the file /desktop/hworld.php.txt already exists. Do you want to replace it?"

That means it is again taking it as .txt . What's the problem?
---------TELL your computer to STOP hiding known file extensions.  It's very annoying.

Or perhaps you just forgot to delete the .txt portion of the filename?  If it's included in the filename, it'll still save as that type.

Solve : Setting up a virtual smtp server (beginner)?

Answer»

Hi all, finally, found a site with lots of computer users!

I'm trying to learn how to MAKE dynamic websites and in a tutorial which I'm following, it requires me to set up some kind of mail server (??). Unfortunately,  the tutorial left out how to do this.

I'm trying to make a web form and once I've filled this web form out, and pressed the submit button, an email would be sent to my email client. Ok, I UNDERSTAND that I need a mail server to do this but what do I need to do this and how do I configure my computer to do this?

I'm RUNNING WinXP, wampserver (this INCLUDES apache and MYSQL ... if this is helpful..dunno) so I have turned off IIS web server. I know that IIS has a SMTP server but I don't know if I can use this (because I've turned of the IIS web server). Does this mean I need to install an external mail server?

If you need me to post code then let me know and let me know where I can find it. I'm not too bright on the programming side and I consider myself more of a designer

If anyone could help, I would be very grateful. So far I have more questions than answers....

Everytime I've tried to set up my own mailserver, I've gotten fed up and quit.

Could you just get a free gmail account and use that?

-rockp18, you are basically correct on all fronts.  For a (relatively) simple and free mailserver, you can use >hMailServer<.  Alternatively you can simply route the email to your ISP's mail server (the one that you use for your personal email).  Unfortunately, the PHP mail() function is not up to this job, and you would need to use something like Manuel Lemos's excellent >SMTP mail classes<.

What res was your screen set at when creating the site.

When I view it at 800x600 it looks fine, but at 1280x1024 its like open day at the css spaghetti factory!!!

Unfortunately if this is the problem there isnt really an easy solution, you'll have to recode all the elements to be relative to each other and the page boundaries.

Hope this helps1280x800 = fine.1024X768= fine.Here's what I SEE at 1024x768 in Firefox:

Solve : good websearch applets??

hey

could somebody please link me with a good DHTML OR Java web SEARCH applet?
im looking to spider my webpage in perl dhtml or Java without using a database.

i also need a feedback script, (similar to user feedback on myspace.com) but my webhost doesent support php.

any replys appreciatedHave you given any thought to using Google's Site Search?

Also...all you need is a SIMPLE form...if your host allows it...Example:

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/csslibrary/item/css-tableless-form/P20/

I find a lot of scripts at www.dynamicdrive.comthanks .. how do i use the css though? i added them both to the same html file and i got the forms and everything but it wont INPUT into the page, like under "your comments" section thats what im looking for?Are you paying for your web host? If you are, I'd recommend finding another one that supports php. That would make it easier to design and make an interactive website.
If switching hosts is not an option, you can use a javascript to input the form info into a mailto: link and then insert the info into outlook to be mailed to you at the user's convenience.
What does your host support?im not a paying customer, i wont be untill i can see i can profit first,  turns out my webhost supports php but without mysql , i found a board script called mboard and it works .. but im having permissions PROBLEMS , i had to chmod the folder to 666 according to it but it wont work.. so i tryed 777 and it still doesent work ,how do i fix this? Not sure, 777 should work... you sure your host allows chmod? You might have to ask permission to change permissions.

Solve : Placing MP3 download links on website?

Answer»

I am currently creating a music website and am putting mp3 download links on the site.  When SOMEONE clicks on the LINK, I want the BOX to come up to ask them where they want to save the file.

The only way that I know how to do this is just to put in a regular link, and the person has to right click and hit "save target as".

How do I put in the links where the box automatically pops up, when someone clicks to download???

The MP3 aren't copywrited, right?

You could zip the files instead, but every time I GO to download an MP3 I have to right-click and "save as", so I know no way of doing this.I've never seen a way to automatically download instead of save an mp3. I'm sure there is a way though. Perhaps there's a PHP or cgi script that will work.

Solve : Making my own web page?

Answer»

Ok well Im really new to all of this programming stuff but I heard that I a good way to practice HTML, XHTML, CSS...... and so on, is to make your own web page and try it all out there. Now this is FINE for me and all except for one problem. I dont know how to make my own web page. I mean I know HTML and stuff but I dont know how to make a page and put it up on the www. Please help. But if your can put the steps into simple terms that would be great.

Thanks
-Melissa-I'll tell about two basic ways of doing this.  One is to find out whether you ISP (Internet Service Provider) allows their accountholders to have a personal website by providing some disk space for that purpose as part of the services included in your account.  For example, I use Earthlink.  I can, and do, have a personal website; the URL is something like this: http://home.earthlink.net/~myusername/ [not the actual username]. With Earthlink, I can either use their online webpage creation tool; this INVOLVES creating pages via a web browser window [see http://www.earthlink.net/software/free/trellix/ ] and is limited in what you can do.  The other way I can do this is to create the web pages on my computer and then upload them to my Earthlink account.

Now, if you want to have a URL something like www.mysite.com, then you NEED to register your website name, called a Domain Name, with a service such as www.godaddy.com, create an account with a web hosting service such as www.totalchoicehosting.com [starter plan is only $4/mo], and then upload your pages once you're ready.    Thanks for the quick responce How do I find out if my internet provider allows that? I use Windows Internet Explorer. And If my internet provider does, then how do I go about putting the stuff up on the internet and so on?Visit their website and search for info on the features included in their service.  If you can't find any info their website, you could call them and inquire about it.  I don't know that offering disk space for a personal website is common practice among ISP s, so your ISP may not have it.

If they do provide that benefit in their package, you'll probably have one or both options for getting web pages published, as I mentioned in my previous post.  Again, I can either create pages on my Earthlink by logging on to my Earthlink account and using the web page creation tool where pages are created in your web browser.  Under this SCENARIO, you do not have your web page files on your computer; they reside only on the ISP's server.  

Alternatively, I can upload them in the same manner I would upload pages to a regular web hosting service such as www.totalchoicehosting.com.  To do that, I use software called WS_FTP.  The technique is called FTP (File Transfer Protocol).  Using WS_FTP, or a similar software, I connect directly a server and upload web pages I've created ON MY COMPUTER to the server.
awsome. Thanks for your help. It really helps alot Ah man your probably going to think im an idiot lol but I cant find my internet provides page. Like I did find a page for it but it didnt tell me if I was able to do that.Call Customer Service...Who is your internet provider?

Windows XP comes with a stripped down version of Microsoft's web server, IIS.  You can install this COMPONENT and run your own web server on your computer.  For you, this is probably the simplest option, provided you don't want to do anything too complex at first.

Once you've started designing your website, you point your web browser at http://127.0.0.1 (the address of your local PC).

Solve : Looping Images?

Answer»

Be gentle, I think this is where it goes, if it isn't please DIRECT me elsewhere or DROP me a message or whatever.

What I'm looking to do is have something on my website which loops. Obviously space is precious in web design, so I'm using similar sized images advertising different features of the website (obviously they are linked images which when clicked will send you somewhere).

I know the html for links and for images but how do I make them loop? So I have one and if you refresh you get another one?

Thanks

MattSo do you want a random image to display each time the page is refreshed? or do you want something more along the lines of an animation?
You could use JavaScript for this task. I'm not familiar with JS anymore (it's been several years), but I do know programming.

What I would do is have Javascript create a random number between 0 and... (however many images you have - 1). Tell it to place an image there based on the RND selection.

Now we just WAIT for SOMEONE proficient in JavaScript to take what I just said and turn it into CODE.

Solve : transfering login FrontPage?

hi
anyone know how to transfer login information stored in Microsoft FrontPage to another computer?

I know this sounds a bit like hacking,  but what I have is two computers and gave my 'old' one to the wife and loaded FrontPage and Dreamweaver onto this new one I am sitting at now.

I really don't want to go through resetting up all my 24 sites and type in the login and password info again, so was hoping some FrontPage and Dreamweaver file contains login info I could just import.

cheers
tom
not SURE, but you could probably just copy the entire frontpage and dreamweaver folder from the old program FILES DIRECTORY into the new one on the new pc.
That would probably copy all the user settings as well. Before you try it, make sure you make a copy of the current folders, just in case is makes something BLOW up.

Solve : Weird One !?

Answer»

A friend of mine is running win98 machine as a server with XAMPP (apache & mysql) and Joomla CMS.
The live site url is http://##.##.##.## (his ip address provided by isp)

I have set is domain name to point to his ip address provided by ISP and yeah every man and is dog can see his website but my friend can't.
We thought initially that he had a blackhole router but we have changed it to a Netgear dg-834 which I know works perfectly well.  When my friend types his domain name url into his browsers address bar (either IE or MOZILLA) he get the router login screen.
He can see the site if we change the live site url in Xampp to his local ip address 192.168.0.3 but not with the external ip address.
There are no firewalls running to block the sites.... we've also checked the settings in IE & mozilla and I've also gone through his network settings on his xp machine.  Still no joy.

So my question is :
Why can every man and his dog see the website externally but not from within my friends own network ?

Answers on a postcard please.
Your HELP would be most appreciated.  Thank you.
Kate
You owe me a dollar for this:  

Some routers assume any web traffic from inside your network that is addressed to the router is intended for the router's own configuration interface. The good news is that people in the "outside world" can reach your site just fine!

link here: http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/creating/firewall.htmlThanks for the info but the netgear isn't one of these routers.  I have one and have never had this PROBLEM.....  so any other ideas would be great.

Mind you I'm starting to think its maybe his provider at fault... he can't even FTP to another site! [shakes head in desperation]

Cheers
Kate
Kate, has the new router been configured with its web management interface on a non-standard port (it should, really)?  If he pings his domain name from within the LAN, what IP does it resolve to?

Solve : Web graphics question?

Hi guys,

I'm trying to find the best WAY, in terms of QUALITY and SPEED of download to put web graphics up onto a web page.

I'm trying to make a web page. I've designed something in *ai and I've been TOLD by many to save the file as png or gif and this is the format you should use when making a web page.

However, I've found that the graphics are blocky and pixely when I've save the vector to a png or gif file I'm not just not happy when I get it up on the web page.

DO I have any other choices?

I've thought about svg but not sure if every browser will support itTry the JPG/JPEG format.  I'll THINK you may find it suits your purposes quite well.i second that. if you dont line png, jpg is the way to go. i wouldnt go with some other obscure file types.Any blockiness is doubtless caused by exporting at too low a resolution.  You can tweak this in AI in the export dialogue box.AI =  Artificial Intelligence?PNG-24 is a nice format, but it unfortunately isn't supported by most older browsers.  You might just want to stick with low-compression JPG files.

SorryOkay, well you are DEFINITELY trying to call a javascript (or VBScript) function there.  I think you mean

Code: [Select]<input type="button" value="Back" onclick="history.back()" />but please read >this article< and have a think about whether you really want to do this.  I've never seen the benefit, personally.Thank you. I have managed to make the back link work, but not the button.

print"Back[/url]";

I intend using this when picking up errors while validating entries on a 'Contact us' imput form. Thanks for your patience. I am a rank outsider and help is really appreciated. While not complete the contact form can be seen at www.gradedseconds.co.uk

Thank you againIf you can point me to a page with the non-functioning back button on it, I'll debug it for you.The non functioning back button is in a perl CGI script which is called from a form. I have tried a pair of \'s with the code and was only able to get the link to work (not the button)

The page with the form now works, checking if there is input on each required box.

The page with the Contact form MAY be found at

http://millie.pobox.co.uk/html/contactuso.html

I can email the script if you can tell me how.

(I must admit that for a BEGINNER, I am quite pleased with the result so far. But like all things there is always room for improvement!)You could perhaps post the perl script that should create the button.  Of course this would not work:

Code: [Select]print "<input type="button" value="Back" onclick="javascript:history.back(1);" />";but this should:

Code: [Select]print "<input type='button' value='Back' onclick='javascript:history.back(1);' />";So near, but so far. Thank you for your help, it works now.

Solve : HTACCESS Login problem?

Hello, my family website has an issue whenever the forum directory is entered.
Okay, lets pretend the DOMAIN is www.asdf.com and the location of the forum is under /forum/
and the main part of the site is under /family/

Okay, so, after you get past index.htm you enter /family/
You click Forum, it brings you to forum.htm, and then you click the "Enter Forum" link and it brings you to ../forum/ (Back one directory, forward to forum directory)

So, now this big old HTACCESS password protection box appears... again. My users have already logged in, and now they get the login box again. How can I prevent this?

How do you make a URL that logs you into HTACCESS? (its SOMETHING like [email protected] and then the URL, I'm not sure how it goes)

And how would you make a javascript so that when you hover your mouse over that LINK, it either displays a custom message in the status bar, or doesnt show the URL? And is there a way to make it so that that link cannot be copied? (Or right CLICKED at least) kuszmania9999...

That link has nothing to do with what Zylstra's attempting...

You can check out how to use both on any javascript or css website.

My problem is that I want the iframe to disply a specific part of the frame itself. To be more specific, I want a part of a page to appear on another page. I don't know if you QUITE understood what I mean so I uploaded a printscreen of the page in the iframe and circled the part that that I want to appear in the main. I have numbered the distances from the margins of the page to the part I need with X and Y so it's easier for the one that helps me to write the iframe source code.

I think that rob might be able to help me on this one. I'm sorry if I hadn't made myself clear enough.If you want a subset of a web page, you may have to process it server-side.  Is PHP okay for you?

You'll end up with a result that is more cross-browser compatible than any IFRAME solution, but which requires more maintenance (if, for EXAMPLE the format of the target web page changes).

Please provide specific links as usual.I would like to stick to IFRAME if it's possible (my host doesn't support php).
The format of the target web page won't change because it's my webpage and I won't change it  

What links do you need?

btw, I uploaded a jpg file with the previous post, what happened to it?I don't know where your jpg WENT - I didn't actually look at it myself.  Perhaps if you upload again I can take a look at it this time to GET a better idea of what you want to achieve.

As for web links - I'd like to see a link to the page that you want to include, and a link to the including page if you've done any work on it yet.

My impression is that you are only going to be able to achieve your objective by using some browser-intensive javascript, but let me get my head around what you're doing first.  Definitely sounds like a job for PHP...

By the way, if you are coding both web pages, can't you just cut and paste?  Why the need for an IFRAME?I uploaded the jpg again. this is the site that I want to appear in the iframe and more specifically the section which is circled.

In case the jpg gets lost again the website is : http://games.stefysoft.com/ and the section which I want to display in the IFRAME is the one in the right where it says how many users I have.

I need an IFRAME because that trhing changes, the numbers only, not the position.

So let me rephrase and I hope this will be clearer : I want to display an IFRAME on a website. In the IFRAME I want a specific section of a page. Usually, an IFRAME displays the top part of a page, I want it to display a specific part(mentioned above). Is that possible? I am zero in PHP.Ah, I see.  That's a Joomla module, isn't it?  I would suggest asking your question on the Joomla support forums - there's probably just a line or two of PHP code that you could insert into your page, to display that information.  MUCH easier than what you are proposing to do.OK, thanks, I will ask on the Joomla forum. The reason why I wanted to do this using IFRAMES was because it can be applied to just any website not only joomla.

Thanks anyway for your time Rob.Well you could do it in theory, but I don't know a way of automatically scrolling an IFRAME to a specific viewport, so the alternative would be to parse the entire page (preferably server-side) to extract the specific information you require.  It is possible, but slightly more work.

I would definitely do that in PHP, if I were going to.  Let us know if you get no joy over at Joomla.

Solve : IE doesn't read it!?

Answer»

Hello everyone! I'm having a small issue with my HTML. I have really just started coding, I might be going about this way wrong. But, I created a web page (viewing it in Mozilla) and towards the end thought I should check it out in some other browsers. When I OPENED it in IE nothing was right. It was like everything got tossed around.

Here is my HTML. I have takin a some personal info out.

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">


        My Resume
                   href="MyResume.css"/>




CSS

ul#links {
   float: left;
   border: solid #b7e3e2 2px;
   margin: 1px;
   padding: 1px;
   height: 500px;
   width: 140px;
}

body {
   background-image: url(background.jpg);
}

ul#top {
   font-size:160%
}

ul#head {
   border-style: double;
   border-color: #b7e3e2 1.3px;
   border-right-width: 0;
   border-left-width: 0;
   border-top-width: 0;
   border-bottom-width: .6em;
}

table {
   border-style: solid #000000 3px;
}

p#tech {
   font-size: 150%;
}

p#motivation {
   font-size: .3%;
}

div#middle {
   border: solid #000000 0PX;
   margin: 0 90px 0 250px;
   height: 1100px;
}

ul#abc {
   border-style: double;
   border-color: #b7e3e2 1.3px;
   border-right-width: 0;
   border-left-width: 0;
   border-top-width: 0;
   border-bottom-width: .6em;
}

Any help as to why this is happining would be great. It's probably common to someone that knows this like the back of their hand. Thanks!This code is not posting correctly.  Please attach as a file or post within [code][/code] tags.
Sorry about that. I have attached a zip file. Thanks again!Um, how can I put this?  Your HTML is absolutely FULL of errors - like every other line.  And you have a few spelling mistakes and grammatical errors that you may wish to correct, given the nature of the content.

My advice is that until your plain text HTML skills are really polished, use a decent code editor (for syntax-highlighting cues) or a WYSIWYG editor, such as the free >NVu<.  This will make it much easier to produce cross-browser compatible code that >validates<.

In respect of your resumé, it will look more IMPRESSIVE if you produce specific examples of your achievements.  Well, I appreciate the honesty. I'll get BETTER. This is my first page so I didn't expect it to be perfect, or close to anything. A resume is all I could think of to try out. Is my code messed up or just the format that it's in? I went through a LITTLE course online, and i'm just wondering if they are completely wrong or if I'm just putting lines in the wrong place. Or both. Anyways, thanks for the input.There were a few different type of errors.  Some that I spotted:
  • unclosed tags: <ul class='whatever'  (missing '>')
  • mis-spelt tags: <il>  (should be '<li>')
  • un-matched tags: <table>  with no corresponding '</table>'
  • incomplete table definition: <table><tr> but no '<td>'
This is why I think a good HTML editor would make life easier for you - it would put those bits in automatically.  Then you're free to inspect the code, and learn as you go along.Fabulous, that explanation makes tons more sense. Again, thank you.No problem.

Thanks in advance...

I don't think so. You can run vbscript in html though. It's a pretty similar language. Here's how: code

What kind of program are you talking about?Thanks to all for the information.

We'll dig a little deeper here - especially on the CGI route, as I USE to run the Apache web server. (On dial-up haha. You had to come to the site to really understand the meaning of sloooooow). But I have tons of commercial web space now...

Solve : web tools?

Answer»

Yesterday I got a mail at my gmail Id from some http://www.webdesigningcopmpany.net telling me about their company’s designing packages and offering discounts on MOUTHWATERING optimized  graphics solutions on flash designing packages.Is  there any  catch ? What you experts have opinions on it.?I wouldn't trust anything you didn't request, especially from a "company" you haven't heard of.  I'm pretty sure I've seen spam for that site on this very forum.The URL you posted is incorrect. Look closely at the word, company, in the URL.  You spelled it copmpany.  The correct URL is http://www.webdesigningcompany.net/.

So, you received an unsolicited email; that's COMMONLY called spam.  Having said that, I took a look at their site.  It's a well developed site; it's very PROFESSIONAL.  I like the way they show PRICES for various levels of web development right on their home page.  And, they have a testmonials page and, at the bottom of the home page, you SEE links to various porfolios of their work.  

So, if you are looking for a web designer to do a project for you, that site seems worth serious consideration, in my opinion.
