will make the iframe the height/width of the window

<script type="text/javascript">
function sizer() { 
    var viewportheight;
    if (typeof window.innerWidth != 'undefined') { 
        viewportheight = window.innerHeight }
    elseif (typeof document.documentElement != 'undefined' && typeof document.documentElement.clientWidth != 'undefined' && document.documentElement.clientWidth != 0) { 
        viewportheight = document.documentElement.clientHeight }
    else { 
        viewportheight = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].clientHeight }
    document.getElementById('extern').style.height=viewportheight + 'px'; }
document.onresize = sizer(); </script>
<!--[if IE]>
<script type='text/javascript'>window.onresize=sizer();</script>
<![endif]-->
<title>bla</title>
</head>
<body onload='sizer();'>
<iframe id='extern' frameborder='0' width='100%' height='200px' src='HREF'>loading frame</iframe>

The page will still flow, the iframe will still have scroll bars for over size pages, just the iframe itself will be as large as possible within the current document

Re: Netbook as a media center?

I regularly use the portable drive to the tv through its(the tv)| usb port, the tv treats it as a usb stick, but it comes very close to overloading the power supply available to the usb port, would have been better as a powered drive, but then I would need to power it when using the laptop

a doctype >=html4 to get positioning to operate properly, html5 should work
unsure ab out the manifest link, 1999 seems like the html4 manifest,
anyhoo ,, the height of the content is irrelevant, to position the footer, you can position the footer directly., the order of the markup doesnt matter

footer {background-color:#ddd; margin:0 auto; padding:1em 0 0 0; text-align:center; font-size:0.875em; bottom:0; position:fixed; z-index:10;}

places the footer at the bottom of the page and makes other content slide underneath it, as the footer on this page does
removed 'em' from zero padding measurements, unneccessary, zero is dimensionless

Re: I can't spot any error on this.

If 'something' echos to screen from the code,
and the popup does not popup, are you running, popup blockers.
99% of your potential users are also running some popup blocker, just by default browser install,
show/hide layers containing the information that m_ancpopup.php would display, in the current page may be better, than trying to defeat everyone's security settings
something like

<?php if(mysql_num_rows($result)<>0){
echo "<div id=\"anctrigger\" name=\"anctrigger\"><a href=\"#anctrigger\" onclick=\"document.getelementbyid(\'showme\').display.block);\">Accident &amp; Conviction EXIST!</a></div>
<div id=\'showme\' style=\'display:none;width:670px;height:470px;left:0;top:100px;\'>";

//output of m_ancpopup.php?page=$eid perhaps as include(m_ancpopup.php)

echo "<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"document.getelementbyid(\'showme\').display.none);\"> Close! </a></div>";
} ?>

the alteration in the href and name in anctrigger element should prevent the browser jumping to the top of the page, by keeping focus to the named element onclick href='#' defaults to the top of the age

Re: How to validate a form in php before submitting it?

almostbob 866 Retired: passive income ROCKS

13 Years Ago

the google search would be self processing php form
a php page thqat submits to itself, the php and the html contained in one file
add simplypixie's validation to the file and change each input to something like

<input type="text" name="zip" size= "5" value="<?php if(isset($_post['zip'])) echo $_post['zip'];?>"/>

& clean up the code

<td><strong>Zip Code:</td><td></strong> <input type="text" name="zip" size= "5" /></td>
is invalid, and may cause compliant browsers to fail to display
improperly nested td strong

let alone opinion on tables and inline styles,,, the 1990s ended years ago, css style and positioning produces a much smaller(faster) page that displays more reliably

Re: left align container div in shrinking window

almostbob 866 Retired: passive income ROCKS

pixels are not a layout tool.
pixel size depends on device resolutin
the typical 15" crt 800px wide 53px/inch
typical 'hi-res' crt 96px/inch
this laptop 160px/inch
ipad 264px/inch
12-14px text just got really samll (1mm)
current best practice is em or %, scalar quantities that autoadjust to window size, device resolution, user preference.

body { width:100%; text-align:center;} 
container {width:95%; text-align:left;}

works in every device

Re: Designing web pages in CSS for all web browser.

almostbob 866 Retired: passive income ROCKS

13 Years Ago

pixels are not a layout tool,
the size of a pixel is dependent on screen resolution, and gets smaller with every new development of monitor.
previously a 15inch monitor was 800px wide, 53px/inch
this laptop has 160px/inch,
Ipad Retina display 9.7-inch (diagonal)(7.7*5.82)2048-by-1536-pixel 264px/inch
the next gen(in 3months??) will doubtless be higher
any page laid out in fixed dimensions will only look 'right' on the screen it was laid out on, even if the user is using the same browser, and will fail on any other resolution or in part-screen windows
Current best practice is em (for typeface) and % (for elements) as layout dimensions. These scalar quantities adjust to window size, screen resolution user preference and basefont settings, on all devices from telephones(200px screen) to this thing plugged into a projector, as it is at the moment (3200px 8 feet wide) playing wolfenstein.
fonts in em, adjust to user preference instead of overriding them, making the site instantly disability friendly
a site css coded to add to 100% will work in all ( fingersX :) ) devices.
together with examining css @media handheld{} to iconify images for smaller devices, and other tweaks
example only

body{background:white;} 
h1{text-align:center;}
input{font-size:2em; color:white;background:green;} 
#leftcol{color:white;background:green;position:absolute;border:0.1em solid gray;top:2%;left:2%;width:10%;height:30%;padding:.1em;padding-top:.2em;}

still won't be perfect but closer

incidentally, white text on dark ground is very user unfriendly, the eye does not function well that way

Re: Any idea how to solve this in the layout?

possibility
edit your stylesheets
0px is incorrect and may cause compliant browsers to fail to properly display the element
chrome is compliant, IE is not
0 is scalar and has no units, (0em 0px 0pt 0% 0en 0in 0cm are equally invalid)
top: 0px; should simply be top: 0;
find & replace " 0px;" " 0;"

#container {	margin: 0 0px 0 0px;	
padding: 0px 10px;	height:100%;

corrected #container {margin:0;padding:0 10px;height:100%;

padding: 3px 5px;	
text-decoration: none;	
border-left: 0px dashed #E5E5E5;	
border-right: 0px dashed #E5E5E5;	
color: #fff;	}

just how do you have a colored border 0px wide
corrected padding:3px 5px;text-decoration:none;border-left:0;border-right:0;color: #fff;} somebody made a wordpress theme, does not mean it is good, this one isnt

use [code=language]code [/code] tags, helps
the echo statements are wrong, setting a variable does not need to be echoed, echoing an answer does not need a variable name

$date =date("m-d-Y"); 
$selected =$_REQUEST['sel_day'];// Selected date
$today = strtotime($date); $expiration_date = strtotime($selected); 
if ($expiration_date > $today) { 
echo $valid = "yes"; } else { echo $valid = "no"; }

perhaps something like

(strtotime($_REQUEST['sel_day']) > date() ? $valid = "yes" : $valid = "no");

if else ternary operator ( condition ? result if true : result if false );
default: date() = today text strings are messy and unneccessary

Re: Urgent, need help please

teedoff: adad is a javascript local variable defined in the script at the top of the op function show_hide(adad) it only exists within the scope of the function, you can code many functions with the same local variable name without error, makes it simpler to reuse functions

DG12

<a href="javascript:show_hide('info');"> </a>

the parameter in the function call and the id of the hidden div, really need to match
probably easier to change the hidden div id = "info"

ideally the link should be, <a name='thisname' href='#thisname' onclick="JAVASCRIPT:window.location.href='list_upload.php?reqid=<?php echo $row['reqid']; ?>';" title="View" >View</a>

a link with a href of # is not properly defined and defaults in most browsers to the top of the current page, (its bad html, my bad)
a link with a href of #name goes to the location of the element named 'name' on the current page
a link with a href of url#name goes to the location of the element named 'name' at the url

heaps of scripts to do title change,
In your case, add another title declaration to the code of the en.html page, after the included head by the CMS, the last declaration will remain
eg, en.html

<?php include('stuff.inc.php');
include('otherstuff.inc.php'); // where greek title is set in the general scheme of things
include('db_attach.inc.php'); ?>
<script></script>
<title>english title</title>
