 | Most of the story is told [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/faq.php?faq=daniweb_faq"]here[/URL], which is the "About Us" link. You won't be told how much ad revenue the site makes, ever. First, because that's none of anyone's business (including mine), except Dani, and secondly, because divulging such information violates Google's TOS.  |
| | You might like this blog entry: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry376.html[/url] Someone who can slap together a site using pre-built templates and tools isn't a programmer, and a "site" is merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to web-aware applications. |
| | The "file" type uploads a file. You have to process the file which has been uploaded, via server-side code. I don't believe that the "onselect" attribute/event handler is meaningful for an input element of type "file".  |

| | Re: Legal? I'm not a lawyer, so this is not legal advice but "just some guy talking": if you uninstall the software that came with the book, you can sell it for whatever price you can get for it. |
| | Are the images in the same folder as the HTML? You need to provide a path to the images. Please research [search]relative paths[/search], [search]absolute paths[/search], and the [search]base href[/search] property. |
| | Nope. The constructor is the method that is called when the object is initialized. You can have multiple constructors, each with different signatures. The object is instantiated when you "create" it. After instantiation comes initiliazation, which is the job of the constructor.  |
| | To change the innerHTML of an element, you need to use the (wait for it) "innerHTML" property of that element. [html]<html> <body> <a href="#" onclick="this.innerHTML='<strong>You changed me</strong>';"><em>Change from emphasized to strong.</em></a> </body> </html>[/html] This also avoids using the out-of-date document.write() or document.writeLn() methods.  |

| | A master poster who still hasn't learned how to use the apostrophe key or capitalize "I"? What is the world coming to! <sigh> Kids these days. Why, in my day we had to learn to TYPE to use a computer! Congratulations. I have no idea what the next "level" is … |
| | Turn down the job. In any case where the choice is to 1) compromise your principles or 2) exit the situation, the right answer is always "exit the situation". |
| | Re: Word filter Yes, there's a new filter in place. It obviously needs tweaking. I'll point cscgal at this thread.  |
| | Groups are part of the vBulletin software. The adminstrator can create special groups and assign members to those groups. Moreover, permissions, such as forum access, can be give to Groups. That's why we have a "Moderator" category on the site, only accessible to members of the Moderator group. Yes, Public … |
 | Re: GIS Server, Why? The difference between a "server" and a "desktop" is not clearly defined. If your current computer system is capable of holding all the data, with room to grow, and fulfulling all demands for data/queries, then it is adequate. You're already essentially using the 'box', whatever it is, as a server. |
| | This problem is going to be extremely difficult to diagnose and fix. One, most experienced HTML coders code directly, so telling you what to do in Dreamweaver isn't really possible. I can tell you what is wrong with a line of HTML or JavaScript code, but can't tell you what … |
| | The only potential problem I see is putting an "include" inside of a loop. That include could potentially be processed multiple times. |
| | The best advice for fixing validation errors is to read/understand the errors reported by the validator, and fix them. That's what the validator is for. If you don't understand the error messages, then you need to learn the basics of HTML and XHTML. Buy a good book, study. |
| | No, you cannot. Any email solution using client-side code is unreliable, insecure, and relies on client configuration details. Coding a submit button, the problem mentioned in your thread title, is simple: [html]<input type="submit" />[/html] However, processing the submitted information and sending it somewhere via SMTP, requires server-side coding. Choose a … |
| | I'm not sure about the exact nature of the problem, here. First, stop using FrontPage! Learn to write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript "by hand". Second, realize that you can put standard HTML into an aspx (ASP.NET WebForm). You don't HAVE to use an ASP.NET Web Control. If you want an … |

| | The PDF format is exceedingly complex, and Adobe's developer tools are buggy and virtually unsupported. I would look at a 3rd party tool set such as those provided by[URL="http://www.pdftools.org/"] PDF Tools AG[/URL]. They are COM objects, so you'll need to create a COM wrapper. I've also had partial success automating …  |
| | Re: Link-style If you're using a script someone else wrote, the best place to seek support is to ask the author. What is a ".dwt" file? My browser didn't recognize it. Please revise the link to your page. Without the ability to see the page, it's going to be very difficult to … |
| | Is there a new ad, which scrolls horizontally across the page, or have I been infected with spyware? Any ad technology that interferes with my posts, by altering the content (IntelliTXT, for example), or by getting in my way by obscuring content (like the scrolling ad I seem to have … |
| | Re: web page blog A "script" isn't going to do it. Any interactive site which accepts user input, stores the results, and uses them to build dynamic pages, requires a server-side language and a database component. The most popular such combination is PHP for the language and MySQL for the database. There are several … |

| | I don't see any of these imaginary purists whom you're addressing, but I'd imagine they'd tell you that you can have as much markup as you need in order to achieve your effect, however, you have to structure it so that it is maintainable. That usually equates to having the … |
 | Re: Footer It isn't a matter of "changing minds". It's simply a matter of which HTML version, meaning schema, indicated by DOCYTPE, you are using. The "center" tag is perfectly valid, in certain versions of HTML. The arguments that it SHOULDN'T be used, even where it's legal, are philosophical in nature and … |
| | You mean "deprecated", right? Font tags are. Tables are not. For certain pages/applications, tables are still the best way to control layout. This forum (any forum) for instance, uses CSS extensively, but the overall structure of the site is tabular. |
| | I don't understand the question. Creating new CSS definitions would require that 1) you become a member of the appropriate W3C working committee, 2) fully develop the specification, 3) work with browser vendors to support the specification, etc. |
| | No HTML file is going to give you access to the entire contents of the CD. You're going to have to look for another solution. I know there are commerical programs (document management systems) that index and provide search facilities. I don't know about "free" systems. Do a search for … |
| | Yes, you can do this in Flash or HTML. You don't need to code a "back" button, every browser already has one. If you have specific programming questions, we'll be happy to help. If you're seeking a programmer to code a site for you, please post in our "Web Development … |
| | The short answer is "no", most likely. It isn't very intuitive, but the reason why images appear "bad" on screen is likely because they are actually high-quality, high-resolution images. A typical computer screen can display 72 or 96 pixels per inch. Even a low-quality laser printer prints at 300 dots … |
| | A class is a recipe for an object. A class is a "design time" object, and when the code runs, the class creates an instance of an object. Think of a class as a blueprint. A single blueprint can be used to build multiple houses. Each house is unique and … |
| | Sorry. The way the web works is simple: 1. Create a page, using HTML, HTML forms, and whatever JavaScript and/or CSS is needed to perform client-side functions. 2. Create a server-side program, using PHP, ASP, ASP.NET, or CGI, to process the data sent by the HTML form or query. In … |

| | The CSS for print media is not well supported. Personally, I think that's fine. If I want to print landscape, I will. In any case, I don't think there is a solution at this point in time. Have you read through the other threads on this topic in this forum? |
| | Research the JavaScript "scrollto" functions. I've moved this thread to the proper forum.  |
| | Client vs. Server. The only thing that will "activate" PHP code is a server request. There are two types of server request, GET, and POST. GET requests happen by typing in a URL or clicking a link. POST requests happen when you submit a form. As far as "activating" HTML … |
 | Wow, is this a "too much information" topic, or what?? Do you really want to know that I'm a hairy, hairy man, so must shave twice a day, and has the habit of only shaving in the shower? What's next, the "how often do you cut your toenails" poll?  |
| | The forum software uses code tags for posting code. They are clearly explained in the message editor when you post a message. Just follow the instructions. Also, we use full complete standard English here, instead of the substitutions such as "i"and "u". I don't code in VB.NET sorry. In any … |
 | But, where are you expecting the content to go? With small enough browser window, everything breaks. I've looked with both FF and IE and I'm not sure I see a problem. |
| | You cannot force an application on the client to open. That violates the browser security model. You can configure certain helper applications, such as Acrobat Reader or Flash, to respond to certain MIME types. It sounds like you are doing some ActiveX scripting. We really cannot help you with specifics … |
 | Typically, in the absence of a particular file in a URL (the URL points to a folder), the web server is configured to deliver an "index" file inside the folder. Traditionally, this is index.html, or index.php, etc. It doesn't have to be. It sounds like the developer started with index.html, … |
| | It's likely related to "relative" positioning. The position of the element is relative to the content of the parent element. I explain positioning in [URL="http://www.tgreer.com/cssPOS.html"]this article[/URL]. Can you post your HTML, as well? |
| | In all of this discussion, "doctype" hasn't been mentioned. It is impossible to tell you what HTML/CSS code to use if we don't know which version of HTML/CSS you're using. |
 | Re: Who do you like I listen to a lot of different styles, but as a guitar player myself, I tend to focus on simpler, acoustic performers. I like music that "features" simple instrumentation and "interesting" vocals and wordplay. "Interesting" might mean a distinctive voice. I'm always trying to find some great "new" guitar player …  |
| | ASP.NET is not a mail server. Your users are sending email to a mail server, not to an ASP.NET application. If you want to send an email programmatically when a user fills out a form or clicks a link to your ASP.NET application, you can do this of course. Simply … |
| | Re: Form Problem You don't have a "name" attribute for your form tag. However, depending on the doctype you're using, you may want to switch to standard DOM methods, such as [INLINECODE]document.getElementById()[/INLINECODE], which will alleviate such problems. |
| | Those are called "[search]HTML entities[/search]". Certain characters that are reserved in web development languages, or that would cause confusion to web servers, or that cannot be typed directly on the keyboard, are encoded this way. It is the responsibility of your server-side code to interpret and convert HTML entities back … |
| | 1. Learn HTML 2. Learn the basics of Database design 3. Learn SQL 4. Learn to write/communicate well |
The End.
