Re: Google PR after backlinking

Hmm 3-6 months is a lot of time don't you think so? and how do you get backlinks from? Can you give us some tips?

go to the google webmasters page. read, and follow the only tips that actually matter.
google make the rules, everyone else follows. As CFred wrote :" Very few, if any, unmerited link will be considered important enough for Google to list. ": go one further, unmerited links have a very negative affect. those sites promising you immediate results, get results, but the list they get you on, is the blacklist, not good results.
links have less importance than you seem to think, the site content is of more interest to se spiders.
"Proof of Google PageRank" is bovine excreta, Google's algorithm is kept very close to home

Re: Focus and frames - hard question

Does that have any real meaning at all (for frames)? My guess was that an input needed focus.

you can apply focus to any element,
for this usage, focus is transferred to the body element within the frame, which of course fails(as expected) in any real sennse, leaving the frame in focus. <<--- what happens when you 'hmmm'' when trying to gather your thoughts and voice recognition is turned on
focus on an input item allows data entry, because the element is capable of entry
focus on an element that can do nothing, does nothing

Re: Focus and frames - hard question

if document in frame2 is supposed to gain focus, why not <body onload='self.focus();'> in the document that is loading in frame 2

in frame1 <body onload='parent.frame2.focus();'>

a: development is done locally and uploaded to the server
no, the op would not require the ftp client first,

Re: Is This possible.??????????????????

Ive decided to post here in php forum because i use php to access the mysql table that holds the registered username and password.

Ajax is how most, allow javascript, clientside, to interact with php, on the server, where JavaScript does not operate with much efficacy.
so why not,
given that you have not written a new language construct to release to the world,
repost the question in the language forum devoted to allowing Javascript to interact with php/sql

Re: CSS Parameters vs Re-using code

I dunno, there are heaps of IDEs that support dozens of languages, which ones support shtml have dropped out ouf sight because asp and php do everything ssi does, and more so ssi has been ignored
NetBeans though supports everything else, so may be a place to start for ssi

unsure about why,
sql will strip the leading zeros and process only the value of the column anyway,
not valid as a verification tool, to ensure no lost chars once the post is already made
to verify that 4 digits have been input a javascript on the browser may be more valuable validating the length of the input field (dont use this I dont thing it wourl work, its an idea

<input name='val' onchange="JAVASCRIPT:if(self.value.length = 4) { document.getElementById('submit').disabled=false}else{document.getElementById('submit').disabled=true}">

Re: how to make link to another form by select

before posting, read how to wrap code in [code=language] [/code] tags, makes it easier to read, in this inst code=php
more likely to get assistance if the person with potential to assist is not correcting what is seen as impoliteness, (every new poster wonders why few or nobody helps)
without beating you for using tables in this case they are appropriate for tabular data (there is a bunch of other threads debating tables/css positioning)
Your

echo "<td class='td' >" . $row['pat_id'] . "</td> ";

assuming another page patient.php in which the full details for a single patient are selected from the database by pat_id

echo "<td class='td' ><a href='patient.php?pat_id=".$row['pat_id']."'>".$row['pat_id']."</a></td> ";

creates a link to the patient.php file passing the pat_id
if this is not what you mean, I hope it provides some insight, or postback if Im too far off target

if this code sample is not just a dump for the purpose of the question, you should complete the html; a dtd, closure of all incomplete elements, to ensure it displays as you intend

Re: CSS Parameters vs Re-using code

the next logical development is php, ssi on steroids,& a gazillion apps code samples downloadable scripts, a half a gazillion IDEs so you can test, free for the download
but it depends on the host, if you have a MS host asp is the one, most hosts are nix of some sort, apache so php is installed
php & mysql, or asp sql both work, different approach, same result

none of the pages of this site exist as hard coded files and google shows a million results, generated by php and dont really exist, but are searchable and linkable et al, and customize on what the visitor searches for
DaniWeb runs on a script vBulletin I think
Wordpress & a heap of others
much easier than hand coding anything, even if you just use the ideas, there is proven logic to use

HeadSlap moment,RE: natural flow,, screws up more web pages than you could imagine, each browser interprets natural completely differently, what looks cool on the development pc, looks wierd on others becuase each browser renders the layout on its own, IE puts margins on the inside, FF puts margins on the outside, safari does something different again, tell them what you want it to look like, they screw up less, and you get a consistent(not identical but recognizable) design

Re: CSS Parameters vs Re-using code

A::
the server is set up to parse some file extensions for serverside commands
eg. setup to only process cgi shtml php asp to use includes in your default.htm page it would have to be renamed default.shtml, when you make the change, remember to change the href in links that point to the homepage
B:: the code that you want replicated is likely to be Header, footer, menu, ads if used, all those items are css positioned in each page, their position is set in the external css file
so if your include file has

<div class='header'>blka bla bla bal</div>
<div id='menu'><ul id='menu'><li>item</li><li>item</li><li>item</li><li>item</li><li>item</li></ul>
</div>
<div class='footer'>&copy;me | contact me | why me | why not</div>

and the css file is set

.header {top:0; bottom:auto; width:100%; position:fixed; z-index:10;}
.footer {top:auto; bottom:0; width:100%; position:fixed; z-index:10; }
#menu {list-style:none; /* bla bla style a ul to be a css menu didnt paste it  lazy */ }

the positions of the included items will be identical on each page, whether the include is first, last, or anywhare in the file
all your includes can be in a single file if you wish
or all the common includes in one file, and any specific items for a specific page, in other files

all codes just samples not tested

the benefits of code highlighting, I didnt use one, so left out a cloasing baracket

if(!in_array($_GET['x'],$keyarr)) { header( 'Location: http://www.website.com/products.php'); }

everything after that is wrong,
tighter code

<?php if(isset($_GET['x'])) {
$prodarr = array('prod1' => 'A', 'prod2' => 'B','prod3'=> 'c'); 
$keyarr = array_keys( $prodarr); 
if(in_array($_GET['x'],$keyarr)) { header( 'Location: http://www.website'.$prodarr[$_GET['x']].'com?x='.$_Get['x'].'&hop='.$_GET['hop']);  }}
header( 'Location: http://www.website.com/products.php'); ?>


if x is set
create fast search array of the products (great for huge product lists, I expect your business to grow)
check search array for x, on my wamp install, creating the key array is faster if there are more than 10 products than searching the 2 element array
if x found in array go to the the page,

been playing with the code, I missed the very obvious
when the php sql select executes, the javascript has not,
the page is not reloaded, that php does not execute again, the field is not populated with a gender
you have to modify the javascript to execute an ajax select from the database

the code sample is not complete, unless there is an <input name='gender'> of some kind , radio button etc in the code that you have not thought to display...
"a submit button in a form" don't mean, much
post the code, without the indenting, complete
code posted between [code] tags is highlighted, indenting is useless, counter-productive,
a code highlighting editor often shows up the code errors that cause these difficult to find, (cross fingers) easy to fix, problems

do a php redirect on the server, and seamlessly display only the correct page no html required

Re: Special characters not showing up?

I just bugged around, changed the encoding to western European ISO, and western Europena Windows,
and the bent B,
o with dots
U with dots
(sorry I have heard of umlaughts and greve but I dont know which they ARE) all the characters that were blocks appeared
are you sure the file is encoded as UTF-8, my hex viewer is showing only single bytes for those characters that use 2bytes to display in utf-8

Re: php code not working

just playing while the coffe brews,
the only thing I really noticed, was the difference in fieldnames in the original code
the html form inputs 'avg'
the php form processor validates on $_POST
= always rejects

added some (bad) code that populates the form with partial values more as an exercise than with any real consideration of whether it was valid

<?php 
include("header.html");
include("nav.html");
include("sidebars.html");
if(isset($_POST['submitted'])) {
	if((isset($_POST['name']))&&(isset($_POST['school']))&&(isset($_POST['marks']))&&(isset($_POST['sex']))) {
		if($_POST['marks']>=80)	 $grade='A';
		elseif(($_POST['marks']>=70)&&($_POST['marks']<80)) $grade='B';
		elseif(($_POST['marks']<70)&&($_POST['marks']>=60)) $grade='C';
		else $grade='D';
		echo "<p>".$_POST['name']." of ".$_POST['school']." has scored an average of ".$_POST['marks']." percentage. His/Her grade is :- ".$grade."</p>"; 
	exit(0); 
	} 
	else echo 'submitted form was not complete';
	}

function calendar() {
	$month=array(1=>"January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","Ocotber","November","December");
	$days=range(1,31);
	$years=range(1900,2011);
	echo "Date of Birth : ";
	echo '<select name="month">';
	foreach($month as $key=>$value){
		echo "<option value='$key'";
		if(isset($_POST['month'])){if($key==$_post['month']) echo "selected='selected'";}
		echo '>$value</option>';
		}
	echo "</select>";
	echo '<select name="days">';
	foreach($days as $key=>$value){
		echo "<option value='$key'";
		if(isset($_POST['days'])){if($key==$_post['days']) echo 'selected="selected"';}
		echo ">$value</option>";
		}
	echo "</select>";
	echo '<select name="year">';
	foreach($years as $key=>$value){
		echo "<option value='$key'";
		if(isset($_POST['year'])){if($key==$_post['year']) echo 'selected="selected"';}
		echo ">$value</option>";
		}
	echo '</select><br /><br />';
	}	
?>

Re: Special characters not showing up?

looked at the page source as did the op, the text is served properly, perhaps this last in the chain of declarations broke the chain, showing charset[blank] <link type="text/css" href="../main.css" rel="stylesheet" title="menu" charset "UTF-8"> should it be ?? <link type="text/css" href="../main.css" rel="stylesheet" title="menu" charset="UTF-8"> ,

my translation from Anglais to French is in Canada, plenty of Francophones happy to explain all the accents, and the difference in meaning getting them wrong can make, to an 'import', and to implement it, and proof read, no thought required
this is fascinating

Re: works in IE not in Firefox

when you send code, wrap it [code=html] [/code] tags
it makes it easier to read, and shows you where your errors are by code highlighting

also get a code highlighting editor, harder to make mistakes when bits of code turn RED when you miss things, what ever you are using to write this stuff is killing you, a good editor will not allow the uppercase tag names, will warn you for forgotten closures, will warn for quaotes, bloody marvellous

such a lot less red

tables are a part of the problem, ie puts margins on the outside, firefox puts margins on the inside or vice versa I cant remember because havent used tables for layout this century align=right fails, should be align='right' , everything with an equal sign should have quotes or dquotes
& the always present, get the styles out …

Re: Poi based on latitude and longitude

the [code] bla bla bla [/code] handler on this page
I wrote it was likely an error copying from the reply's editor, to the code handler on the page, I meant on THIS page, it broke lines of text where it wasnt required

Re: Open page in a frame

for a radio button you may need to use the onclick attribute inside the <button > definition onclick="framename.location='pagename';" onclick="parent.framename.location='pagename';" onclick="document.framename.location='pagename';" something jumps out at me about needing to include the parent or document in the name, one of these should work
