Another possibility is that a competing adware program is already running. Only one should be running at a time.

Apparently you have accidentally created another user account, and your software belongs to your old account.

Log out of the new account and use the original account.

This is a setting in Outlook preferences. There are several choices on what to do with read messages.

That's one thing I can't stress enough. If you have two firewalls, two virus checkers, or two spyware blockers running simultaneously, you can have all kinds of grief.

Hotmail is one of the bubonic blockers.

If anyone reports an email from an ISP as malware spam, even if the address is spoofed, Hotmail, AOL, and some others block all incoming material from that ISP. All the reporting person has to do is click a report link.

It stays that way until someone reports that they can;t get email from that ISP. Then it stays fixed until someone gets spam spoofed up to be from that ISP.

Yahoo used to do this, but now gives people control over their own email functions.

This can happen if two spyware programs are running at the same time.

It could be that the repeater is identifying itself, but not the printer.

Question: Is the repeater bidirectional? Some Plug-N-Play printers have the driver info in the printer. With a single direction repeater, the computer can't read the driver info.

Probably the hard disk either died or got its format zxnrbled.

Check your CMOS battery first.

It depends on what you are doing.

Some commands have a /b or /n switch to tell them they are being run from a batch file (and to suppress prompts.)

Another way is to have input and output redirection. But the input file must have all of the correct responses in the correct order (and the batch file can go horribly wrong if an unexpected error prompt appears. Put the redirection in the command line that starts the batch file, or in the batch file line which starts the command.

< redirects input, > redirects output, >> redirects error messages. There must be no space between the redirection sysmbol and the file.

dothis.bat <promansr.txt >digester.txt

Date and time are in control panel.

It's a security setting in Outlook Express.

It is AWFUL now! It is freezing my browser with the hourglass icon for up to 30 seconds with each page load.

It is definitely the GlobalSpec ad.

I have the hourglass instead of the cursor pointer until this ends.

Also, the page is always loading. It never shuts off the rotating dots.

That means my download quota is being used up. GET RID OF THAT AD SERVICE!!!!!

I am getting the warning too, along with the page freezing until the ad finishes loading.

This reminds me of a greedy trick some eBay-er's used a few years ago. They put a script on their page that started an infinite loop until you pushed a buy button. This kept you from leaving the page, unless you bought the item or used the task manager to close the browser. That caused the introduction of the script timer in browsers.

I don't want advertising removed from DaniWeb, but you should have some kind of control to keep the ads from being disruptive. The advertisers should not have the right to take over (and they want to be as disruptive as possible, so you read the ad).

It is taking me twice as long to read each topic.

A script is running on the page which stops me from scrolling. I think it is with the Global Spec ad, since it does it only when that ad is present.

It's the ads. As soon as they load, it goes fast again. While they are loading, you can't even scroll now.

After you click the non-italic A on the advanced reply menu, the color grid appears. To make it disappear, click a color. You can then remove the tag that appears if you don't want a color.

Sure, but JavaScript is so limited in its capabilities why would you want to? There's a reason why forms are always handled server-side. You can't send email with JavaScript. And if someone has JavaScript turned off there goes your whole form.

There is another bigger reason I don't want it server-side. I get only so much download bandwidth an hour. Someone using the calculator form with server-side controls would quickly use up my bandwidth, hiding my pages from everyone for an hour. With JavaScript, the form doesn't reload every time the script runs.

I even got it to validate!

Just put action="none" inside the form tag and it works and validates.

If you fail to put the action attribute in, it does something weird in Firefox. If you leave the mouse cursor over a button on the taskbar, it raises that task on top of the Firefox window when the script ends.

Textarea size is directly defined in terms of character rows and columns.

It works on Firefox 2.0.

What version of Netscape are you using, There was a "Save Page As" bug in one of the versions.

Also check to see if a setting is blocking the operation.

Actually, opening a hidden window is on the list of operations forbidden for security reasons.

But there is nothing to prevent you from putting it under something. It still shows on the taskbar.

I would suggest inserting text into a string when someone clicks on a button.

Somehow I have let all of my my MS-DOS books get away from me. I can't find any of them.

It's slow again.

The world needs less political correctness.

It's a religion. They plagiarized the Baha'i Faith to make Political Correctness.

Array.slice works just fine.

It seems to work OK.

There is a difference between how Firefox and IE render pages. One includes all of the margins, borders, and padding within the declared box size of the item. The other does not include them, but adds them to the declared size of the item.

This means that nothing that you define as a rigid size works the same on both browsers. (And remember that your rendering will completely fall apart with a different screen resolution.)

I'd get a book on JavaScript and read it. I used "JavaScript Demystified" by Jim Keogh.

Big reason: I would have to pay more a month for server-side privileges.

The pages I want to implement are:

- A sport-playoff fairness-index calculator.
- An election fairness-index calculator.
- A demonstration of how multiple governments interact to cut each other's revenues.

The list of extension associations is found in My Computer or Windows Explorer. Use:

tools / folder options / file types

You can then browse which extensions are in use on your computer, and what program they are associated with. You can also create a new association (but you must know where your program is stored to do this).

This will tell the computer which application to open a file with. It won't tell the application where the file is or what its extension is.

You can create a shortcut for the application which can tell it which folder the files are in.

This web page lists all file extensions in use and their purposes.

http://filext.com/

The safest extension for generic data is the .dat extension.

In every book I have on HTML, it shows a database or other file associated with a form. I want to use form elements with JavaScript to control the web pages themselves, without the use of an external file. Can this be done?

Thanks. That makes sense.

It also explains how altering the contents of the copy array in the function changed the original array (which I wanted untouched) in the callong program.

So how do I make a real copy of the array that I can change without affecting the original? Do I need to loop through all of the elements and copy them individually?

It works in Firefox 2.0.0.3.

It works in IE 7.0.5370.11

The problem is that the .$$$ extension was always an illegal extension name, but DOS allowed it.

I use it. You have to:

1. Select the object to be filled with the arrow tool. It must be a single object, not a collection of lines not part of the same object.

2. Select the interactive fill tool.

3. Select the color you want from the pallette. The object will be filled with that color.

And in the meantime, I hit my BACK button.

- No moving images, except to demonstrate an essential principle. NO MOVING ADS.

- Never move stuff on the page once it finishes loading. Especially do not move links. Nothing infuriates me more than a web page that moves stuf just as I am clicking on a link. eBay is one of the worst offenders. (I have several times clicked on the bid link and had the Buy It Now link moved under the cursor just as I clicked.)

- No images so huge that you can see just a tiny bit of them at a time in the browser window.

- No popups.

- Minimize the use of scripts.

- No tricky stuff. Don't change the page in the middle of the view.

Why bother with that?

Just make identical pages, with the color changes and the large picture coded differently, and with links to each other.

I think I'm the only person who prefers to do all my web coding in notepad. Only time I use an editor (frontpage) is for drawing tables.

I've used HyperEdit before and it was pretty nice. It's strictly an HTML/CSS editor with a preview window, no drag n' drop interface. I don't know though if its available for Windows or is just a Mac program.

I do ALL of my coding in notepad, including tables and JavaScript.

The only good translators are bilingual humans.

Questions:

1. Can any of you reproduce these results?

2. Does anyone understand why it happens?

Thanks Boško, thanks everyone.

I've tried replacing id with class but no help :( I've also tried changing & with &amp; but no help. I've virtually tried everything the validator told me to fix.

I just can't figure this one out.

Why didn't you leave them replaced?

If you make the indicated changes, then we can try the validator again.

It's probably the activx popups within the posts. They take you to definitions of terms.

I wish they would get rid fof those things.

Are you trying to use a DOS application in windows?

That means the BIOS CMOS RAM has forgotten everything about your computer. It's asking if you want to copy the (now garbage) in the CMOS RAM to a file. Don't!

Your hard drive directory has become corrupted, probably by a nonstandard shutdown, power failure, or virus.

Back up what you can, format the drive, and reinstall Windows.
