you can use Flash or Director. With this tools you can create simple games but you have to know how to use this tools first!!!

JavaScript, set up variable which will be inceased by 1, every click of your button.

David
Shortly, I will firstly recomend to you not to use names of variables as follow

if (theForm.Last Name.value == "")

space between words which join for the name of variables are not good.

Secondly please can you provide full code for this script including html, it will help a lot to see it and understand what is going on.

Thanks

Ahmed
I think you better go to PHP forum.

That is an example how it can be done. You dummy.

Press a button and woalaa music.

There been already 3 people which try to help you and still you did not state what exactly you whant

Next time please read full sugestion and not part of it!!!

You don't have to have 2 cursor. Example above is standart procedure ensure that if first setting doesn't aplly browser will use second one. If this fail standart settengs will be used. So 3 cursors setting in case of failure.

So simly in CSS declare on which object(DIV, P, TABLE, IMG,...) your customize cursor should take action

P { cursor : url("mycursor.cur"), pointer; }

What this mean is, first use my customize cursor for rollover on this object( P - paragraph), if this not supported use second setting as pointer/hand.

Hope this is clear ;)

Quote from w3.org http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/ui.html#propdef-cursor

The user agent retrieves the cursor from the resource designated by the URI. If the user agent cannot handle the first cursor of a list of cursors, it should attempt to handle the second, etc. If the user agent cannot handle any user-defined cursor, it must use the generic cursor at the end of the list.

P { cursor : url("mything.cur"), url("second.csr"), text; }

Don't forget upload your cursor with rest of your site.

Thanks for help, this is what I was looking for long time.
When I try to learn something new from book and have to follow line by line. It is not really welcome, when the tags get close automaticaly.

Thank you again

Zachary, looks like people don't bother to check older treads!!! :sad:

This is already 4th or 5th person in past 10 days asking same question, which you answered previously.

There are no difference in JavaScript between platforms. Your problem can be that Mac is running only on IE5( there has not been any upgrade for past 3 years also) and you tested on pc IE6, I beleave. Last year as school project I did website cross platform but got hell of troubles.
And Safari I don't know, I do not use Safari.

I have "The Complete Reference JavaScript Second Edition" from Mc Graw Hill/Osborne.

It has good explaination of basic programming terminology which never did programming before and than based on that it's goes from basic to advance scripts. Nicely put together with reference which is always useful.

But this is my point of view. I like book written in this style.

OK, if I understud correctly, images are done with flash. If so it is not complicated to do roll-over effect in Flash. Just create new symbol of type button. For each action apply your image with some change(enlarge, reduce, move to different place, swap for another), example up status image small and over status enlarge your image. You can find simple tutorial in your Flash help menu and also plenty on net.
Appear and disappear are based on animation, where you set up some short animation and on last frame you leave empty with some time loop that after 30-45sec your iamge appear again.
Than in dreamweaver you just point to object which you wish to insert on the page an software will do everething for you. Be aware dreamweaver is sometime tricky, like to create pages which perfectly work on your pc but wouldn't work on others.

However if your graphic is other format than Flash you should use tools like Photoshop to put what ever graphic format into jpg, gif or png.

Hope this help, if anything let me know.

As Zachery explaned in his topic in HTML and JavaScript forum
http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread29415.html
there isn't to much what you can do about password protection with html and JavaScript.

Can you please provide better explanation of what exactly do you expect us to help you with?
Why? Because I will try to explain you how to enlarge image in flash and all what you whant it from me is, how to get with click on thumbnail large version of image.
So please specify what exactly you whant...

Well, looks like this is going nowhere. Why ? :?:
Because you did not give us exact idea of what you whant. Through what I red in rest of posts I thing I know what you are looking for.

Check this website and tell me if is this what you are looking for

http://www.sonyericsson.com/fun/wxhtml/download1/downloadDetails?ContId=3371&Dn=z1010&cc=GB&itemsPerPage=10&lc=en&page=1&s=10048_brands_files_

Press the button "Listen to ringtone"

I whant to ask for small help. I'm using Dreamweaver MX 2004, which is a great tool for web developer. Me only problem is I do not exactly like the automatic closing function for HTML tags. :evil:

Is there any way how in settings block/switch off this function?? :?:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function playSound(soundUrl)
{
	document.getElementById("sounds").src = soundUrl;
}
</SCRIPT>

and something like

bgsound="javascript:playSound('song location')"

Nice one, we need more people with your way of thinking

You may try inline CSS

Use JavaScript for example

Sorry my friend, you are in wrong forum. This JavaScript and DHTML for developers. You should go here

http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/forum29.html

This is getting bad. Teroris tried to attack again on 4 different locations.
What is even worster is, one of the attack happend on the bus which I usually take to work.
Unfortunately this guy run a way, hide somewhere between my work place and my recant home. Police is searching for him.

Hope they get them :evil:

Also be avare that if you did it in Dreamweaver sometimes things get funny. If you whant you can post here a link and we will have look at it.

Follow white rabbit :cool:

Hi ozeeo

here is easy sample code

<div style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bolder; font-size: 24pt; height:125;
width:400; filter:DropShadow(color=#c0c0c0, offx=10, offy=10)">Hello World!</div>

for more info on similar effects you can go for example to

Hi Jeannie
Sorry didn't reply early, but I was busy at work.
I looked at your site to see what that flsh does. What I so compitely suprised me. Code is O.K. what I think is, there is something wrong with your "swf". By calling this address

http://members.optusnet.com.au/jeanmair/www/DS_ImageScroll.swf
you should be able to see your flash stuff on full screen like in this case
http://www.peterbudo.f2s.com/travel.swf

However in your case nothing appear just text Loading which is part of code loadtext=Loading .... It's seems to me that your file has issues with permisions which are usally set up on Unix based servers. I don't think you have any tool to check this permisions. What you can do is send me this flash file(send my a private message with your email and I will reply to it) and I can do it for you or have to contact www.dseffects.com and ask them for help/advice.

Well you are the lucky one from unlucky people, in your case dreamweaver went crazy as you been playing around with image swaping.
There is something wrong with script logic in "MM_swapImage", and I can't figure out what.
The thing is, when you click on thumbnail, central image is cleared and nothing appear. However if you try to see if the image exist you will find it, example :

http://www.conceptwheel.com/images/catalogues/brookwade1.jpg

then go back and click on same thumbnail and your image appear.

What I can sugest is to clear your HTML code of all scripting and save, than again build all behaviors.

To do so, delete whole SCRIPT section in head of html document and delete this parts

<A onmouseover="MM_swapImage('thumbbrookwade1','','
/images/catalogues/thumbnails/thumbbrookwade1pink.jpg',1)"
onclick="MM_swapImage('blankimage','','
/images/catalogues/brookwade1.jpg',1)"
onmouseout="MM_swapImage('thumbbrookwade1','','
/images/catalogues/thumbnails/thumbbrookwade1.jpg',1)"
href="javascript:;"> </A>

which are attached to your thumbnails.

This only thing what I can think of, other solutions are to complex without any knowlege of scripting.

Let me know how it whent on ;)

Hi Paul,
it is nice and easy to develop page in dreamweaver, but you always get in trouble if you do not understand basic principle of HTML, CSS and little of scripting.
Don't worry I not gone bully you over that, will try to help you if possible. Last year I had had similar problem when my teacher rush me with my final work on project and I was forced to use Dreamweaver (still prefer typing me code).
For this purpose I used catalogues.htm from your site. Go to deamweaver and Design view, click on first thumbnail which id is "thumbvgcatalogue2", then go to Code view and you see this.

<A onmouseover="MM_swapImage('thumbmwcatalogue1','','/images/catalogues/thumbnails/thumbmwcatalogue1pink.jpg',1)" 
 onclick="MM_swapImage('blankimage','','/images/catalogues/mwcatalogue1.jpg',1)" 
 onmouseout="MM_swapImage('thumbmwcatalogue1','','/images/catalogues/thumbnails/thumbmwcatalogue1.jpg',1)" 
 href="javascript:;">
<IMG id=thumbmwcatalogue1 height=95 src="" 
            width=100 border=0 name=thumbmwcatalogue1></A>

Have close look at image tag "IMG". Is there anything wrong? Something missing?

You are missing source image for first loading. src="/images/catalogues/thumbnails/thumbvgcatalogue2.jpg"
That should do it for you now. Any more troubles let me know :)

I have a huge problem with web page

That's why all of us are here, some have problems others know how to solve them :cool:

I have a flash banner from ds effects and it works fine in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox or Netscape
This is the script

Sorry Jeannie, but we are missing somthing here. You say, you have problem with this banner, but what kind of problem? What error messages? Any description of problem like banner is supposed to loop but it doesn't. Give us more!!! I visited their web site but everything is o.k. there.

And don't be greedy, give a credits ti people which created this banner for you

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE=DS_ImageScroll.swf?credits=www.dseffects.com&loadtext=Loading ...&

Waiting for more details..... :D

Did you found your problem with CSS?

Can't see any difference between IE and NN

Ovious is each pc has different resolution, so preferably you should build site for 800x600.
Another thing sometimes our pc's play games with us especially when you often overwrite your work in dreamweaver something on the back of document get mix up and is displayed ok on your pc, however seen on other is complitely different. If you wish put here full code on we will look at it.

I am sorry from this image is difficult to say what you are talking about. :confused:
Are you toking about border which is automaticaly apply to image if works as a link or you wish to create some empty surounding space about image, I dont't know. You have to give as better example or better explaination/description of what you are looking for.

Do Ctrl plus mouse click on tubnail next to name of the layer :?:

I hope this is simple enought for you to understand what is going on in this peace of code and you will be able to do any changes on your own.

For future, please provide as with full scale of problem not part of complex which can't be divided on subtasks.
So here is code, two seperate slideshows, only thing you have to do is to declare your own source images, set the nema for each slideshow, give it starting and ending image.

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>

<script language="javascript">
var currentImage = 0;
var timer;

image1 = new Image();
image1.src = "image1.jpg";

image2 = new Image();
image2.src = "image2.jpg";

image3 = new Image();
image3.src = "image3.jpg";

image4 = new Image();
image4.src = "image4.jpg";

image5 = new Image();
image5.src = "image5.jpg";

var pics;
var startNo = 0;
var endNo = 0;
function ChangeImage() 
{
	if (currentImage == 0)
		{
			currentImage = startNo;
		}
	if (currentImage > endNo) 
		{
			currentImage = startNo;
		}
		document.images(pics).src=eval("image"+currentImage+".src")
		currentImage++;
		timer = setTimeout("ChangeImage()", 1000);
}

function Stop()
{
	currentImage = startNo;
	document.images(pics).src=eval("image"+currentImage+".src")
	clearTimeout(timer);
	currentImage = 0;
}
</script>

</head>
<body>

<div id="div1" style="position: absolute; top: 100px; left: 900px; width: 30px; height: 10px; border: solid;" 
onMouseOver="pics='pics1';startNo = 1; endNo = 3;ChangeImage()" onMouseOut="pics='pics1'; startNo = 1;Stop()">
</div>
<img src="image1.jpg" name="pics1" id="pics1">
<br>
<br>
<div id="div2" style="position: absolute; top: 600px; left: 900px; width: 30px; height: 10px; border: solid;" 
onMouseOver="pics='pics2'; startNo = 3; endNo = 5; ChangeImage()" onMouseOut="pics='pics2'; startNo = 3;Stop()">
</div>
<img src="image3.jpg" name="pics2" id="pics2">
</body>
</html>

HOPE …

O.K. Ted here is something for you :)

//images are store in same folder with html document, if in subfolder myimg

Yesterday I had blackout get mix up some html and C++ stuff :o , but this code above does work on IE6, NN7.2 and MozillaFireFox1.0.4.

As you see I made major changes to your code (also some comments included in code):
- this is based on use of onMouseOver and onMouseOut
- you don't have to send variables to any of the functions
- just have to declare so many string arrays as you need and you have to make change to this if statement "if (currentImage > 5)" …

I have to say this script is not clear to me

<script language="javascript">
var buttonStatus;
var currentImage = 1;
var timer;

function Start() {
buttonStatus = 1;
}

This part is fine with me declaration of global plus start of action

function Stop() {
buttonStatus = 0;
EndTimer();
}

Here just after you started you are shuting down all. Why?????

function ChangeImage(fileName, imageName, imageNum) {


if (currentImage > imageNum) {
currentImage = 1;
}
image = fileName + currentImage + '.jpg';
document.images(imageName).src = image;
currentImage++;

if (buttonStatus == 1) {
timer = setTimeout("ChangeImage('" + fileName + "', '" + imageName + "', " + imageNum + ")", 1000);
}else{
currentImage = 1;
image = fileName + currentImage + '.jpg';
document.images(imageName).src = image;}
}

This is mix up comlitely!!!
Firstly you set up currentImage=1 based on if statement, that is O.K you can do that(you don't have to do this because you set it up global variable on beginning )
Than you have if statement where buttonStatus == 1 do something.
This never happend you already shuted down by use of function Stop, also this is wrong

timer = setTimeout("ChangeImage('" + fileName + "', '" + imageName + "', " + imageNum + ")", 1000);

so it is go to else where you are telling this

image = fileName + currentImage + '.jpg';

which is image = location of images + number of current image + extension jpg;
what is …

I have god news and bad news for you.

Bad news , I do not have code for you!

Good news , I know where to learn more about detecting browser settings and lot more usefull stuff :)

My magic book tells me that the name of the site is www.browserhawk.com

I just quickly look at it, and I tell you their are bombastic

Ashley
as far I'm concerned pointer and hand cursor is the same, only problem is that hand cursor was "specialy" developed/recognise by Microsoft and no one else does care for it, so this thingy only work for IE.
cursor: hand
Other browsers dispay it as text cursor.
Below you can find a short example of some cursor appearances.

<html>
<body>
<h1 style="cursor: pointer;">This is my pointer</h1>
<br>
<h1 style="cursor: hand">This is hand and it does work for IE only</h1>
<br>
<h1 style="cursor: help;">This is help</h1>
<br>
<h1 style="cursor: wait;">This is wait</h1>
<br>
<h1 style="cursor: text;">This is text</h1>
</body>
</html>

If you have any other questions I will be happy to answer them.

I'm referingthe to www.sharplogic.com , don't know if is your.
But yeah on that site, welcome page, when you roll over main menu, images are displayed and text in front of it (of image) is not readable.

Nice work, I like it.
However there is one thing you may consider and that is colour of your fonts because if any image layer displayed the text in front of it is usually unreadable.
(Just suggestion, nothing serious) Once more well done.

My friend, there are too many sites each is different and it it really up to you to pick up sometthing. Everybody has it's own learning standart, prefered way how to learn, etc

For example I used google typed in "JAVA notes" and got list of sites where I be just brief look at them liked http://www.cafeaulait.org/course/
http://burks.brighton.ac.uk/burks/language/java/jnotes/

also you can get a book and read it. Decision is your's and plaese for next time post your thread in proper forum, because this is JavaScript and not Java. They are two different things.

Wish you best luck with your studies

:mrgreen:

Dragon you see not such a thing, back to real get some tools like Sound Forge or similar and put a proper sound on your site. Sorry mate

I still think it is a mistake, that there is nothing like TXT which can be played on WinMedia Player. If I'm wrong please provide us with informations about this files or the way how does it works.

Another thing, I opened one of my mp3 in notepad and see what I got

ID3    vCOMM   #   eng This song from RX & Mixer ;-) TIT2    
  TitanicTCON      (2)PRIV   '  WM/MediaClassPrimaryID ¼}`Ñ#ãâK†¡H¤*
(DPRIV   )  WM/MediaClassSecondaryID                 PRIV     PeakValue
 Ë`  PRIV     AverageLevel »  TPE1      RX & Mixer

Basicaly beginnig of file holds info about document.

Should work, I never had problem with it. In my case it did work under IE and also NN.
Try to see if you dont have any mistakes or misspeling somwhere in your CSS

To keep them as one complex, so the settings for second sidebar does apply to firstone and not to somthing else.

Someday, browsers will pay attention to the size property of @page CSS rules:

@media print { 
  @page rotated {size: landscape}
}

More info http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/page.html#propdef-page
or http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread14877.html

Im creating a site called www.mobilefantastic.com. The client also owns mobilesfantastic.com and mobilefantastic.co.uk. www.mobilefantastic.com is the domain where the content will be, but i want to set up an automatic divert so if someone was to miss spell the domain as mobilesfantastic or mobilefantastic.co.uk, they will automatically be sent to www.mobilefantastic.com.

If understand you, you whant to redirect mobilesfantastic.com and mobilefantastic.co.uk to mobilefantastic.com.. What you have to do is to put on both pages code which is bellow with some sensible message

<meta http-equiv= "Refresh"
      content   = "2; URL=http://www.mobilefantastic.com">

Content is time in seconds

or other option

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function delayer(){
document.location = "../javascriptredirect.html"
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="setTimeout('delayer()', 5000)">
<h2 >Prepare to be redirected!</h2>

</body>
</html>

setTimeout works in clicks where 1sec=1000 clicks so in this case delay is 5 sec

OK, I just played with it little bite and came with effective solution.

You have to put both sidebars in container "div" as followed

[B] <div> [/B]
<DIV id=sidebar-a>
<P>Part# 1</P>
<P>Welcome to the LorResident service. At the LorResident we provide the 
following services: </P>
<P></P>
<UL>
  <LI class=SmallestText>1 
  <LI class=SmallestText>2 
  <LI class=SmallestText>3 </LI></UL></DIV>
<DIV id=sidebar-b>

<P></P>
<UL>
  <LI class=SmallestText>1 
  <LI class=SmallestText>2 
  <LI class=SmallestText>3 </LI></UL></DIV>
[B] </div> [/B]

than rest of the code

<DIV id=content>
<P align=center><IMG height=101 src="lorresident_files/pcSupport.gif" 
width=166></P>
<P align=center><IMG height=101 src="lorresident_files/web.gif" width=166></P>
<P align=center><IMG height=101 src="lorresident_files/video.gif" 
width=166></P></DIV>
<DIV id=sidePic>&nbsp;<IMG height=399 src="lorresident_files/face.gif" 
width=315></DIV>

Simple solution, just time to time its take me little longer :o

Nevermind, found the Dean Edward's IE7 hack.

John

Nice site add to favorites, will come back.
There is CSS way to do it

style="background-image: url; background-attachment: fixed"

one more thing you are missing opening of body in this page not big deal

I've got problem. Here's what it looks like, Click Here. The div #sidebar-b should not be that far from the #sidebar-a or Part# 1. They should only be 50px appart from each other.

Any help is appreciated.

Well your sidebar-b is not related by 50px to sidebar-a but to your image face.gif!!! You can see that if you change margin to 0px
I would recomend to you use table or posittionig
