The best thing you can do is force the page to be viewed only by https which is not hard to do and can be done several ways. (BTW, unless you link to the non https version of that page users should never be able to get there in the first place unless they're doing something naughty).

To do it with Apache put this code in a file called .htaccess in the same directory as the file you want to force the http:

Redirect permanent http://www.domain.com/page.php https://www.domain.com/page.php

If you're using PHP you can put this at the top of the page to accomplish the same thing:

<?php
$https_url = 'https://www.domain.com';
if ( isset( $_SERVER['HTTPS'] ) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'off' )
{
	header('location: ' . $https_url);
	exit;
}
else if ( !isset( $_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 443 )
{
	header('location: ' . $https_url);
	exit;
}
?>

Use nl2br()

Do they offer database support? Most free hosts don't. You should contact them to see if they do and ask them how to connect.

A niche directory is only about one topic like cars or books will only accept sites with content of that nature. A general directory will accept websites with any kind of content.

It takes a while as you really need to be consistent to build a reputation. It really is part of a long term strategy rather then a quick method to get business. It also is a lot of work but when you break it down into about an hour a day, or less, it doesn't seem so bad and can add up quickly. Creating threads that are worthy of being stickied is always a great way to get extra attention.

Forget those sites. The people looking to hire someone from there are looking at price only so you can't compete.

I don't look for jobs. Instead I (actually we) established ourselves as experts and good developers any way we could and eventually our reputation got us leads which got more more word of mouth which generates more leads.

I charge $100/hr and have no shortage of leads. In this business you are selling yourself, not your pricing.

'name' has not been deprecated. Without it forms won't work any more.

Yes it is. Using the date() function you can find which day of the week it is and base your content on that.

How about you use PHP's FTP functions to write some code and if you have any problems post your code and ask specific questions? We're happy to help you but we're not here to do your work for you.

Put it in a session or cookie.

You'll need to run a cron job periodically to handle the schedule tasks. You should check for the conflicts when the users enters the scheduled task. You definitely don't want to wait until the tasks are going to run to do this.

It also can be defeated, like all JavaScript, simply by turning JavaScript off. Or, in FireFox, you can even leave JS on and tell FF to block scripts like that.

You can't reliably do it. If someone wants it they will get it. If you don't want people to have it, don't put it on thew web.

FYI, your javascript is not special. If you can write it, so can anyone else who knows javascript. Hiding it is pointless.

It doesn't really matter as long as one of them is. Then you can tell the user's browser which order you wish it to try them. It will go down the list until it finds a font the user has on their system. To make sure you don't get the default font make sure specify a standard font like 'arial' or a font family like 'sans-serif' so you know they are getting a decent font if none of the fonts you specify are available.

font-family: Colonna MT, Comic Sans MS, Consolas, Odessa LET, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

FYI, I don't think any of the fonts you want to use are standard fonts.

You can't. That would be a security issue if it was possible.

That should work just fine. (And don't use language="javascript" anymore. Only use type="text/javascript").

That's probably not a file upload issue as the file is unchanged during upload.
