Why did you get rid of the menu? I didn't know what any of them except the fire meant.

It coud be that the webmaster simply saves his news to two files, or reads the html file from the forum software..

Of course, that becomes a headache if your URL changes for some reason, You have to edit every file and change it (just like I had to when my new ISP used "index.htm" instead of "home.htm" for the opening page - a lot of work when you have 300 pages).

I had to change my url 3 times.

1. My old ISP integrated several urls into a master url. They told us we would never have to change it again.

2. The master url created in change #1 contained the computer name "php" (for "personal home pages"). PHP later trademarked that name, and so my old ISP had to change the url again. I converted all of my code to relative addressing at this time.

3. I changed to a new ISP with a cheaper rate. But since they used the different entry page name, I had to change the homepage link in every page.

No, every Internet user does NOT have a flash player. Some interoffice office systems prohibit them.

JavaScript always counts from 0 on arrays and object lists.

"'document.form1.status' is null or not an object"

This indicates that you forgot to change the names in the html to match the change in the JavaScript. You were supposed to rename your html objects so they have the same name "status" instead of having the names "status1" and "status2".

It's also printed on your original dicumentation. Mine is on the envelope the first disk came in.

Your computer is probably set for a different character encoding than the one the game is written in.

There are several different character encoding sets. Note that making this software work by changing the computer's character encoding will make your other applications which are now correct to start producing wrong characters.

First, find out what your character encoding setting is. Standard settings for English speaking computers are:

USASCII
ISO-WESTERN
UTF-8
UTF-16
UNICODE

Then find out what encoding the games are written in.

If the game has a character encoding setting, set tht to match the setting on your computer.

Otherwise, you may ahve to keep changing encodings to get all of your stuff to work.

I'm using Firefox 2.

The page apparently was taking some time to load. It was doing it for 10-15 seconds.

Maybe an ad was changing size or shape.
It was behaving like that was the case

I got a page on another site last year where the reserved space was tall and narrow, but one of the ads was short and widel by mistake. The ads rotated, and the web page parts moved all around each time the ad with the wromg aspect ratio loaded.

It hasn't happened today. It was doing it every edit for about half an hour yesterday.

Can you turn off daylight time?

So why do I stioll see rounded corners with rounded corners turned off?

I'm not sure which part you want to change. What does it say on the webpage screen there?

Use the indexOf method on the password string, inside a loop through the digits 0 through 9 put in the substring parameter. Any return which is not -1 means a digit was found.

Or you could use regular expressions to pattern match a digit.

The url should be in single quotes when passed as a parameter. It is text at that point.

What do you mean you "have to" do it that way? You got a nut for a boss?

When I am trying to use the Quick Reply box, the page sometimes starts shifting up or down so the Quick Reply box scrolls off the screen. Then I can't type without moving the vertical scroll bar to bring the box back.

Question: Why do we need rounded corners?

It's locking up until the ads load again today. And the adws are making it impossible to post at times by moving the post window off the screen while I am typing.

I just had to post twice, because DaniWeb erroneously told me I posted an empty page.

Then it started moving the page around as I was trying to post. Get the chimps out of the control room!

This sounds like the hotmail ISP block problem. It happens like this:

1. Someone sends spoofed spam emails using your ISP as the return address.

2. A Hotmail user sick of the spam reports the email to Hotmail's automated spam reporting system.

3. Hotmail blocks access to your ISP as a result.

4. It stays blocked until someone reports that they can't access their account, and Hotmail unblocks the ISP.

I can think of some simpler possibilities:

- There are no title tags in the web page, or there is garbage between the tags.

- You accidentally selected Wingdings or some other graphics font as your base font.

- The web page is corrupted.

- The web page selected is in a language your charset or base font doesn't support. (I see this if a Chinese or Japanese page is loaded.)

- The file extension of the file is wrong, and it is not a web page.

- The web page was accidentally saved as a .doc or .rtf format, but with an .htm extension.

- The ISP zxnrbled the file.

- You have a communications problem which is garbaging the transmission.

- If you are on a modem, someone picked up an extension phone.

- If you are on DSL, the filters are installed incorrectly.

This could be an ISP problem. The dynamic name server may be down. If so, only urls in your browser cache will work until they fix it.

Are you sure the etnhernet card didn't load something from a disk when you installed it? Mine did.

This is the kind of trashy trickery that favors the manufacturer at the user's expense if something goes wrong. It should be outlawed.

This sounds like your ISP having trouble with urls which don't have the http prefix.

Restore them from the backup disks you made.

If you didn't make any backup disks, you will from now on. Make two copies.

That is correct.

I agree. Anything done client-side would store a value on the client's computer, not the server.

If you want to store it client side, Javascript could make a cookie.

Another way is shown oin the third post of my thread:

An array of arrays of of radio buttons

I gave all three checkboxes the same name. Then it was simple to do:

for(i=1;i<=3;i++) {
  tmp1 = document.form1.status[i].checked;
  alert(tmp1);
  if(tmp1){
    ..........................
  }
  else{
    ..........................
  };
};

It seems to be the only way to do it with radio buttons.

See my thread (third post):

An array of arrays of of radio buttons

It's essentially the same thing.

Give both checkboxes the same name, both hidsum boxes the same name, and both sum boxes the same name. Then use Javascript as follows:

function add()
  var i, d, e;
  e = 0;
  for(i=0;i<2;i++){
    if(document.form1.status[i].checked) document.form1.hidsum[i].value=0
    else document.form1.hidsum[i]1.value=document.form1.sum[i].value;
    a=document.form1.hidsum[i].value;
    e = e + parseInt(a);
  };
  document.form1.total.value=e;
};

Notice that array indexes begin with 0, not 1.

You could pass the url as a parameter.

<input type="button" id="quantity" name="ONE" onclick="javascript:menu1(url1.htm)" />
<input type="button" id="quantity" name="TWO" onclick="javascript:menu2(url2.htm)" />

Wouldn't it be easier to just have two versions of the page?

what is on(release) ?

I think what you want is:

< .... onclick="gotoAndStop('scene x')">

Thanks for the reply, appreciate it, I was wondering though if I could set this class to all my td's using the min-height and the max-hieght and the overflow auto? right now my page has 8 <div>s I thought i had to use so many div's for the layout. Thanks again, dave

You certainly can.

Instead of:

td#id

in the above style use:

.scrol

Then use this for the opening td or div tags, like this:

<td class="scrol">

Fake the links with form input buttons:

<input type="button" id="quantity" name="ONE" onclick="javascript:menu1()" /> 
<input type="button" id="quantity" name="TWO" onclick="javascript:menu2()" />

Then use the javascript to first open the window, then enable the proper devices:

function menu1(){
 theWindow = window.open('theurl.htm', 'theWin', '');
 theWin.focus();
 document.forms.order.quantity.disabled = false;
   .
   .
   .

I solved it myself.

You build an array of objects, then index that.

 var acc = Array(3);

 sum = 0;
 for(x = 0; x < 3; x++){
  acc[x] = 0;
  for(y = 0; y < xax.length; y++){
   grp = xax[y];
   if(grp[x].checked){
    sum = sum + 1;
    acc[x] = acc[x] + 1;
   };
  };

GlobalSpec is now not only annoying, but hiding the dropdown menus on the homepage. And I clicked on their ad once to see what it was, and was unable to return to DaniWeb. I had to close the browser to leave their greedy site.

It's Baaaaack!

The GlobalSpec ad is hiding the dropdown menus on the home page, so you can't read or click on them.

It's back! And I have rounded corners off.

You would have to sort on QuestionNum, and then refill the field sequentially

You are not summing in the previous month.

Can't you just create a report file in the form you want it, and then import that.

It could be just that the server was too busy handling other requests.

Did you remember to make the files public?

If you created the DVD yourself, with your own camera work or software generation, you OWN the copyright. It is never illegal to copy your own work into a jpeg file.

That's part of the problem. Different programs and different equipment behave differently. There is no standardized behavior yet. So it is a good idea to type everything in lowercase until they finally get it sorted out.

The Internet routers are routing the

http://www.wspqweb.com

portion of the address to your server. They are not yet case sensitive.

The

/custom-website-design.php

portion of the url is handled by your server, which is using case-sensitive software.

Several questions:

- Did you use relative addressing to point to the image? Or is the web page looking for it on your hard disk (where it can't be found by the ISP computer).

- Is the image in the same folder on the site, relative to the location of the index page, as it was in the test setup?

- Did you remember to make the image public on the ISP when you made the .htm files public?

- Are you exceeding the ISP maximum download size for a page?

- What type of image file is it?

- Is the image larger than the browser window? Some browsers refuse to display such images.

- Are you using the deprecated background="url" property inside the body tag? It was never fully implemented in all browsers. Use a style sheet instead.

- Did you forget to close a quote, or to put quotes around the url?

- Use one of the validator programs, and see if you forgot to close tags.

- Many ISPs are case-sensitive for filenames.

- Does the filename violate the ISP file-naming rules?

Sample rules for mainframe ISP file servers which are different than Windows or Mac names:

1. No spaces in the filename.
2. The first character must be alphabetic.
3. No more than 8 characters in a filename. (It will shorten it "for you").
4. No 4-character extensions (such …

When I actually get a job, maybe.

It's gone for me too, when I logged in the next time after disabling rounded corners.

But this is weird. Now it shows up on the OTHER selection of the WYSIWYG button. Figger that out!

Nobody knows this?

Also tell me if you don't see any way to do it.

Think about it. If this were allowed, then if someone wanted to, he could steal any of the web user's files from his hard disk, using a spoofed button that says it does something else.

THAT is why it is not allowed.

The last film I saw at a movie theater was Batman Returns (Which shows how long it's been since I have been to a theater).

The last "film" I saw on DVD was The Lord of the Rings. That's right, we ran all three movies.

For another piece of the scale, Antares is about the same size as the orbit of Mars.
