I see that iframes have been deprecated...however, I do not see an alternative.

The displaying of pages that lie outside of your Web site...whether in frames or in iframes...is severely frowned upon in the design world.

So much so, that current college textbooks on HTML suggest using the deprecated "target" tag to open the site in a new window as an alternative.

ouch

As far as I know, you can't do this using CSS alone.

I could be wrong, though...

All you are really doing here is writing down pseudocode (the steps you will take) to complete the program

Welcome to the group, Cheryl!

no problem

I use dreamweaver myself...by you can create a web site using nothing more than notepad if you know html and css.

I have also noted in the past that a bad RAM chip can cause all kinds of wierd errors from random reboots to erroneous video driver errors.

I once had a problem with my XP machine either crashing when opening outlook to reply to an e-mail of just shutting down outlook. When the whole system crashed, Windows reported a video driver error.

After taking it to the computer shop twice and replacing both the video card and the motherboard...I finally narrowed the problem down to one of my RAM modules.

Once that was replaced...no more problems.

Kind of...the best thing to do is write down the process first

get start time in military format
convert start time to minutes
int startMin = ((startTime / 100) * 60) + startTime % 100

get end time in military format
convert end time to minutes
int endMin = ((endTime / 100) * 60) + endTime % 100

Calculate total time
TotalMin = (endMin - startMin)

Calculate improved time
ImproveMin = TotalMin * 0.75

calculate improved time
fastTime = startMin + ImproveMin

Convert the faster time to military format
fastHour = fastTime / 60
fastMin = fastTime % 60
milTime = (fastHour * 100) + (fastMin)

This is just an example...your final output can be done in a couple of ways.

Ah..I just saw the bottom part...the minute hour thing is kind of tricky

convert your start and end time to minutes...so that all of your calculations are done in minutes...

the final step would be to convert the minutes back into an hour:minute format

so hours would be calculated by

int hours = newTime / 60
int minutes = newTime % 60

and your time output would be

cout << hours << ":" << munutes;

Logically...you have a start time and an end time stored in variables.

create a third variable to hold the total time (start time - end time)

multiply the total time by 0.75 (totalTime*0.75) and store it in a new variable

add the calculated time to the start time

mathematically...

((end time - start time) * 0.75) + start time

Here is the definition of algorithm...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithm

It's a setting somewhere...I've had this problem before.

Go to "Start -> Control Panel -> Quicktime" to open the Quicktime Settings window.
Go to the Browser tab and click the Mime Settings button.
Under each category, select the media types you wish Quicktime to handle in your browser. Do not enable Flash.
Click OK

Suggested Mime Settings

Audio
AIFF audio
uLaw/AU audio
MIDI
WAVE audio

MPEG
MPEG media
MPEG audio
MPEG-4 media

MP3
MP3 audio

Images
QuickTime image

Important: When selecting the media types you want Quicktime to handle under "Mime Settings", make sure that "FlashPix" (under "Images") and "Flash media" (under "Miscellaneous") are not enabled, as doing so will cause a conflict with the Flash Plug-in.

Next, go to the File Types tab (still in QuickTime) and select the same options as you did under browser MIME types.
Click OK.

Close and reopen the browser to effect the changes.

That should correct the issue.

Here...this might help:

Have you tried reinstalling the old version?

If you can't do that...the only other way I know of its to dig it out of the registry. The problem with that is that if you do something wrong...you system could crash completely.

There is a program that might work called badcopy pro that is supposed to be able to recover data from corrupt discs...

It's a long shot, but worth a try.

Have you tried exporting the resized image using the jpg optimizer?

Here's the big glaring error I see in your code...

string string;

You can't use "string" as a variable name.

Ha.! I remember my C++ instructor promising not to give us a bad grade on an assignment if we promised not to use global variables...lol

You understood that, Salem?

If you install the wrong codecs...some funky things can happen.

I would try uninstalling the codecs and seeing if I could play a video I know to be safe...if that doesn't work, and you have your Windows XP CD...try uninstalling and reinstalling the media player.

If that still doesn't work...you might have a hardware issue.

hmm...off the top of my head, I'd suggest using a JavaScript onclick event to change the background of the specified cell.

You could then have a small image as the background.

How to get it to go away would be a trick, though...perhaps use a timer to revert back to the original background after 10 seconds?

Hey...it's an idea, anyway!

This tutorial will explain how to code a perfectly cross-browser compatible, single-level drop-down menu for your website. The first thing you are going to need is a little bit of JavaScript courtesy of Suckerfish. This should be placed in a file called menu.js and saved in the same directory as your html page.

showMenu = function() {
  var subMenuItems = document.getElementById("topMenu").getElementsByTagName("li");
  for (var i=0; i<subMenuItems.length; i++) {
    subMenuItems[i].onmouseover=function() {
      this.className+=" showMenu";
    }
    subMenuItems[i].onmouseout=function() {
      this.className=this.className.replace(new RegExp(" showMenu\\b"), "");
    }
  }
}
	
if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload", showMenu);

Now you will need a menu structure, in other words what is actually going to be in your menu. For the purposes of this tutorial, let’s use:

• Top Link 1
  
  • Sub Link 1-1
  • Sub Link 1-2
  • Sub Link 1-3

• Top Link 2
  
  • Sub Link 2-1
  • Sub Link 2-2
  • Sub Link 2-3

• Top Link 3
  
  • Sub Link 3-1
  • Sub Link 3-2
  • Sub Link 3-3

• Top Link 4
  
  • Sub Link 4-1
  • Sub Link 4-2
  • Sub Link 4-3

• Top Link 5
  
  • Sub Link 5-1
  • Sub Link 5-2
  • Sub Link 5-3

OK, so now you have the structure but how are you going to turn that into an actual menu? This is where the XHTML comes in. Start with a blank XHTML web page as follows:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
    <title>Single-Level Drop-Down Menu</title>
  </head>

  <body>
  </body>
</html>

Now …

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking for here...

Do you have a page you can point me to so I can get a better picture of what you are asking for?

I didn't sign up...so the chat window doesn't work for me.

I opened the chat window, and then clicked on the detach radio player link in the main window.

While it appears that one window replaces the other, the first popup window simply gets sent to the background. It is still open.

That's not the problem...

Your links table in the sidebar is set to 400px...that is what is throwing everything off.

This sounds like a hotmail issue.

You will need to contact them.

Both windows opened for me...the first popup window just got sent to the background. You can still access it from the taskbar.

I'd never heard of this before...but after doing some research, that is a very useful tool.

It works for me in IE6, so perhaps the key was deleted from you registry.

This site will show you how to set/reset the ctrl+Enter functionality:

#topMenu li #flyMenu3_6 { 
	margin: -21px 0 0 135px; 
	width:167px; 
}

is one of the styles to control the position of the flyout menus
you need one of these for each flyout

ok...on my photo gallery page (http://www.frankjamison.com/gallery/), I use a combination of css and javascript to achieve this effect.

<img src="image.jpg'" class="rolloverOff"  onMouseOver="this.className='rolloverOn'" onmouseout="this.className='rolloverOff'" /></a>

.rolloverOff {
  border: 1px solid #999999;
}

.rolloverOn {
  border: 1px solid #FFFFFF;
}

It appears that you've already fixed this particular problem.

Tables are frowned upon in the design world when used for anything but displaying tabular data.

I am against using tables as a design tool...but if it works for you...go for it.

The second hit on googling:
how to change a relative url into an absolute url

Was here.

Oh, for Pete's sake...

instead of <a href="page.htm">relative link to page</a> you would use <a href="http://www.yoursite.com/page.htm">absolute link to page</a>

Your server is down...

Didn't I see this question posted somewhere else? I could swear I've seen it before...where the archive|notes sits on the right margin in IE.

I found it...about 7 posts down. Katarey solved this problem for you already...what happened?

Ha!

I knew I'd figure it out eventually.

I based it on the Suckerfish menu...but it works very similar to my first post.

Simply add your items to the arrays in the javascript file and customize with the css file.

The float selector in the CSS file is still required for the javascript to dynamically write the menus...so don't delete it. It is used to keep the top-level menu items in the same order no matter which margin the menu is floated on.

There's more than one way to skin a cat...let me try something else.

Well, Mikeish...

I've got the multi-level menu working in html...but I am having difficulty using javascript to create the three-dimensional array.

The file is in my first response to this post.

If you've named the image, try

a:link img#car, a:visited img#car { border: 1px solid #000000 }
a:hover img#car { border: 1px solid #FF0000 }

Hello. I need a drop down menu just like the one on this site up at the top but all in javascript (because my stupid server does not load outside script resources without having it be checked for security, so i need a client side) and all in one html file. Does anyone have a sample script that I can modify and use or show me how? Thanks guys.

Are you refering to the dropdown menu or did you want the breadcrumb liks as well.

If you are just looking for the dropdown menu, the example I attached below can be easily modified.

Suckerfish is also an excellent menu.

No...I don't see the video.

I looked at your code and downloaded the swf file, but still couldn't get it to play...so you might want to upload the video again.

It was only 102kb...so my guess is that there is nothing to play.

I'm not gonna promise anything...but I'll see what I can do.

The whole javascript thing is kind of new to me...which is why that code was so simple.

Which site are you working on, if I might ask?

I'd have to write that.

If you have a day or two...I'll look in to it.

Right now I am in the middle or reinstalling my system (I'd forgotten how much software I had installed and downloading updates is taking forever).

FJ

You might have some cross-browser compatibility issues with that solution.

I havent reloaded my other browsers yet...but it looked just fine in IE6

Well...if you want to keep the 382px space using the code supplied by katarey, give the table an id (let's call it "names") and then set a top margin in the css.

#names { margin-top: 382px; }
