I was wondering if someone could aid me in this. all help will be duly noted in the script itself.

Here is what i am trying to achieve, a realtime editor of the CSS attributes of a given page. I have the page i am using and the CSS table, but i want to be able to edit it in real time so that people can use it to create their profiles. SO lets say a user wants to create a profile, but doesnt want the lamo stock colors. they can use my basic template (which is a generic profile) and then dynamicly in real time modify different parts of the CSS so that all they would have to do is view source when they were finished and grab the CSS and input it into their profile, or use a generate button to generate the output when they are finished.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if any more info is needed it would be greatly appreciated.

one last breaze through of it:

you have a CSS attributes form and it would lets say contain somthing like:

table, tr
{
background-color:somecolor;
}

i need a script that can change that somecolor, to a color of the users choice.

THank you in advanced to anyone that can offer any help or direction.

Can you use Remote Assistance and attempt to navigate yourself? (I actually thought you were already doing this since you said he was in AZ, implying you were somewhere else.)

thats a great idea, and in fact, i think i should try it, he is in AZ and im in CA, so i think this would be the best bet

going to look into how to do that now, anything that i will need to know in particular? (like if he is behind a firewall and such?)

also he will have to make a new user for me right?

Check the fonts installed on the computer ... I think all the fonts have been deleted.

good idea, but then how would i instruct him to them? i mean, if its all in scrably language he cant read it, also lend to the fact, that its very hard for him (he has a debilitating disease, which means he has to look at his hands as he clicks on things to make sure that he actually clicks the mouse) also, he said his email and some things are still in english, but most are not.

Just tried a system restore, and it said it was unable to restore his computer, so were stuck on that. he is going to try different dates to restore too, but im unsure what to do now!!

So have you tried System Restore yet?

lol this is the hard part...EVERYTHING IS IN A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE, he lives in AZ so im trying to help him navigate the menus and such...lol

sorry forgot to add:

microsoft windows XP HOME

My grandfather was using his computer and he said it restarted on him, and when it came up it was in a different language, almost like Wingdings, and is not sure how to get it back, i tried going through the regional language settings to see if that was it, but it was not, were not sure where to go with this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

So far, we've tried changing the Units back English (US) and we've tried changing the Uni-code fonts back to English(US) and we still get Wingding style fonts....not sure what the heck is going on.

What is that desktop theme you're running? Some type of skinning program? Might that be the source of the trouble?

exactly what i thought, because some of those skinners require you to allow them to replace some of the windows files.

i will look into the errors that you posted though.

Ok since I really couldn;t figure out what dance was trying to tell me I decided to go with typo's suggestion.

Funny thing is now for some reason, the program looks for columns named after the fileds. Take a look at http://relamedata.reliableamerican.us/UnnamedSite/new_estimate.php Then just enter your name "Any Name" into the first name field. The error it now outputs is "Unknown column 'AnyName' in 'field list' " LOL at least now I know what the problem was. I was having syntax errors before. I fixed all of them and now I am at this point.

I can't understand why this program works fine for a glossary that contains name and definition, but add a few more fields and it's failing :(

dances comment was that you are not retrieving any variables from the previous post, IE, there is no $usrname = %_POST[usrname]; with a form that uses the post feature to the current page...so its like this

FORM:A
usrname (enter username)
password (enter password)

SUBMIT (uses post feature with a direction to form B)

FORM:B
$username = $_POST[usrname]; //for retreiving the username
$password = $_POST[password]; //for retreiving the password

then using these variables you can submit to a database.

I vote no. I feel that even if it's just on a subconscious level, people form biased opinions of people based on where they're located. The whole point of an online community is to be able to interact with others who share your interests in a way that is impossible / would never happen in the real world due to location, socioeconomic differences, etc. People might subconsciously feel certain posts are more / less truthful, helpful, accurate etc. based on living in New York versus Iraq, for example. For that reason, I vote that location should be disclosed to members by visiting their profile, but it should not be emphasized as it would be if it were right there in the postbit.

Just think how much people around here care about their reputation! Post after post about "my rep went up" or "how do I get rep?" all because of little green boxes that mean hardly anything and are just supposed to be there for "fun" in the postbit. Now, think what that might do to one's location if it were posted right there smack next to one's reputation! Is location really all that important to people in an online community?

to be very honest, i have never much cared where anyone was from, if they had good info, or if i could enjoy them, i could care less if they came from backwater hic town.

lol google has saturated the market with so many invites almost no one wants them anymore...

how about this then..you can now use them with your pop3 account, so you dont have to log into the web, does that make anyone else want one?!?!?!

go with dance first as i believe he has it, in that your not retrieving anything from the previous page, but in it, you may want to end it to the end of all your mysql lines just to make sure that everything is being done that needs to be.

I tried both suggestions. No luck, no error message and still not working.

have you tried adding it to all lines, somthing is obviously being parsed wrong within the mysql itself and not the php.

i believe all computers neeed at least one bank filled with ram, be it the older machines where one bank was around 4 slots, to the new machines of one bank being the slot itself.

thank you for such a wonderful reference you gave me
i checked it out and found the way to delete files and folders
and it was just so simple lol

for your reference the code is as this :

<?php

unlink("filename");

?>

can it be more simple ?
lol

is that the same for deleting folders too?

Try this to see what is in your array:

echo('<pre>');
print_r($My_Array);
echo('</pre>');

<?
foreach ($My_Array as $some_value); 
echo $some_value;
?>

would work also right?

you should always use error checking, because not always will the error pop up, sometimes you need to add the line

or die (mysql_error());

$nombre = mysql_num_rows($result) or die (mysql_error());

this will output any errors from the query, with this, you can properly find any problems going on with your mysql queries, i find it a good idea, that every few lines, when doing queries, to add a or die (mysql_error());

Dani... c'mon... Too afraid to admit you were using ME?

!! she's using YOU!!! b..b...but..i thought she was using ME!!!?!?!?!??!? NOOOOO!O!O!O!O!

thats a little sketchy as password recovery could lend to helping you log onto a computer that is not yours.

im not sure i like it at all, it makes them stand out, and is far to busy to have text on top of it, you should never put text on text like that (IMHO) just because it becomes to active, and it takes away from the main post, as crude as you thought, maybe crude is the way to go. it looks good and it doesnt take away from the post!

There is a big discussion about this here.

you...are...so...AWESOME...thanks!

lol

Gah! I just stumbled upon this thread! This wasn't me. Apparently I was signed onto DaniWeb on the laptop at work, and my mom posted under my name! Moms are like that ;)

suuurree ;)

can i get the EXACT error messages that pop up, every bit of detail is nessicary!!

in the mean time, if you dont mind reupdating your computer (granted you are on Windows XP and i see you are from your descritpion)

you can try

SFC /SCANNOW (go to run and type it in)

Start>Run>SFC /SCANNOW

this will verify all windows files and replace any missing or damaged ones, but in the process it will replace them with the copies from the cd (which you must supply during the scan) so you will have to reupdate your computer most likely.l

ntfs is suppose to be more stable ,also you can create larger files with it than fat32 up to 2gig if i remember what i read awhile back

you can just enable large drive support when creating the partitons to work with more than 2GB's, though XP doesnt run as nice as it does on NTFS, my moms computer was XP on FAT32, just didnt run nearly as good as when we converted the drive to NTFS....

though this persons problems seems to be somthing driver related.

At what point does it go black, does it happen after a certain ammount of time, or at a certain point.

If its at the same point each time, it could be the point at which it switches from the SVGA drivers to the actual card drivers,

in which case you need to swap drivers (for working ones),

if it happens after an ammount of time at different points, it could be card related

you could try switching the video card for another one, just to run a test.

I had a card that did this in both safe and normal mode, and it turned out that the card had just basicly died.

well for both of you this will help alot, check out the code snippit area, i and many others have submitted code for your very purpose, download them, play with them, learn them =)! it will probably be the very best way to learn, that way you can see how things really work when it comes to the nitty gritty of things!

I have a similar question.

My IT department has disabled my display properties at work (when I right click on the desktop and click properties I get "your computer administrator has disabled the display proerties". If I change the registry value will they know about it ? Also recently they made it so I cant adjust the time.

the delk, welcome to the forums, but all new members are reminded to please not piggy back other threads, though your problem is just as important, it is also important that your issue is addressed seperatly.

I dont think that i like them, as they add to the busyness, i love this site, but so much has been added that it has become to busy, you can make a site look too good! there is so many images, and so much going on, that it can become quite an eyefull to look at. the striped rows, the different sections, the images persections, and their sub sections and subesequent forums, it can all be an eyefull and confusing to anyone that is new to the site and looking for just some basic help because he/she doesnt have a large knowlege of computer.

and for those of you that are not sure what i am talking about, look at my sig, and title of this post, it will have a slight outline and background.

I'm going to confuse the thread a little here, well, at least my arguement, and expand on alc's post because I think it's interesting. I posted part of this somewhere else but can't find the ref...

For those who use the command prompt, of course that's left over from MSDOS, part of which is still in all the Microsoft O/Ss, did you even wonder how that came to be? I´m talking about C:\>. When MSDOS was introduced (I was lucky enough to be working for Microsoft at that time) DOS used that prompt. It was just a black screen with A:\> - A because at that time there weren´t any hard disks, I know that´s hard to believe, but the whole O/S really was on a floppy.

Anyway, Microsoft broke all the rules and it´s own policy that it holds so dearly now and stole that and a whole lot of code from a guy down in Monterey, CA (sorry can´t recall the name for some reason and don´t feel like looking for it) that wrote CP/M. And that was a viable O/S that ran on most micros. So Microsoft did not invent the wheel on its way to becoming number one, and its roots are based in hostile acts...

microsoft, did not steal the code for DOS, Bill Gates had his father purchase it (from a man in CA, because they had just pitched to IBM that they had DOS, but they didnt, and that they would Licesnse it …

i am just going to say this. LOL to your topic...of course illegal software can cause problems.

i believe that would be javascript that you need then. HTML is all static, and so i you shouldnt/wouldnt be able to do somthing interactive like that...i believe...but maybe not..everydays a learning experience.

urgent --> bathroom.

I'm not sure where i want to go. I have alot of interests, and am good at alot of things (art, math, computer, science) but i'm lost as what to do. I want to achieve alot, and i've been having good fun with chemistry, so maybe thats what i will want to do?!?!?!

lol, but my question is...who here has College experience, (in the CA area i guess) and what would you suggest?

charcoal --> drawing.

first lets look at your code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Currency Converter B</TITLE>
<SCRIPT>
var amountInPounds, amountInDollars, dollarRate;
document.write('Currency Converter Application B' + '<BR>');
dollarRate = 1.78;
amountInPounds = parseFloat(amountInPounds);
window.prompt('Please enter amount in pounds sterling, 10 to 120','');
while (amountInPounds != 10)
{
document.write('Pounds' + 'Dollars' + '<BR><BR>');
dollarRate = dollarRate * amountInPounds;
window.prompt('Please enter amount in pounds sterling, 10 to 120','');
amountInPounds = parseFloat(amountInPounds)
};
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>

well i think part of your problem is that you told the script that while any value other than 10 to do this, yet you want a value between 10 and 120, you need something more like while (ammountinpounds < 10), so that all values below ten are discounted, and somthing like (i dont know the syntax in js) ammountinpounds >120 so that all values too high will be discounted. also, no where do i see any math to do a conversion...so im a bit lost as too what your code is supposed to do.

immigrant --> emmigrant

Excellent, cheers matey i will give it a go

glad i could be of service!

-
Connection is:: 2048 Kbps about 2 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB)
Download Speed is:: 250 kB/s
-

funny though for me, usually i can download at up 500kb a second alot more than it states.

but then again, stress on the server, or peak times may be involved.

Our trademark colors are still dark blue, llight blue, and purple - as demonstrated by our homepage, forum index, and logo. The idea was to use a different color for the navigation for each of our sections to help navigation, as well as demonstrate the idea that each category is like a sub-site ... enough of me reiterating! ;) read the chat log, everything is explained in there in much greater detail than I could repeat :)

i think you've done a perfect job with the navigation, i never have a problem with it. in fact i love this layout, it makes it easier to find what i need to do.

the only issue is the Web Development and INternet resources, could be seen as one in the same by someone new to this new technology thing!

Hey People,

Does anyone know how i would go about the following;

A client has asked me if i can put a link on his website which when pressed sends a message to his mobile phone. So instead of click something and an email box appears, info is sent directly to his mobile phone. Is this possible???

Thanks alot
GR Web FX

very easy, have him send you a message, from his phone to your email ( i do this whith my g/f all the time)

and then when you make the mailto: link, put the from line in the text message he sent there instead.

like for sprint i believe its. 55555555555@messaging.sprintpcs.com or somthing like that, and a window will pop up, like a regular mail client window, and they can message straight to his phone.

or using a form, you could limit characters used and letters used to format it better for a phone, and then submit it with a form using javascript, that would actually be better.

ah.... thats a relief.... came up in a discussion about SEO ethics.... somebody tried convincing me that JS is bad, and I should use DOM (bad statement!).... and several other topics and articles on the net were suggesting the same sort of thing....
still, no worries!
thank you.

ive talked to people like that. they try to convince me that im not using the best language, or that i should do somthing they way they like it. i look at it this way, if you can work effieciantly and effectively in a language that you are comfortable in, why change, i mean JS is still very supportive, and i support it because of all the great things you can do with it.

one thing i dont like about it, is the syntax, it has horrible syntax, but working through that, you can almost anything with that stuff.

http://isnoop.net/gmail/
you can try this. they have thousands of invites to give out. people send their invites, then people can ask for them, and it will be emailed to them. i already added 20 of my 50 or soo the spool service.

i have 50 gmail invites if anyone needs one still.

the same, might have 100, depends if both my accounts are filled with them.

i would gladly give them to anyone that needs.

Thanks DaveSW. That's very helpful. Hmmm, i'm kind of starting to use firefox more now due to all the security reasons - as far as i can tell, they don't have that option...

thanks again,

security with any OS or Browser is just a myth, trust me, the only reason firefox isknown to be more secure is because the number of users on it compared to IE is tiny, so when people go to write a virus they target the larger base of people. Why would someone spend time writing a virus for somthing that only had a tiny population when they could write one for somthing that had a HUGE population. and the same goes for firefox ;).

but thats not what this thread is about.

there will always be those that say that one language is phasing out or that one language is better than another, and you know what it really depends on what you are trying to do, and what you want to do. Javascripting (not to be confused with the programming language JAVA) is great for client side effect and the such, it can do almost anything if you know how to code it right, and in conjucntion with a server side language such as php backed by a database, the possibilities are limitless. really its up to who it is and they are doing for what they will use.

Hello,

The problem with GIMP is that it is limited to 256 colors... a lot of photo touch-up work should be done in the thousands or millions of colors range. I tend to use thousands, as well, the eye cannot detect more subtle changes. Then again, some of the more artsy people will want millions, and have room for alpha channels and other perks.

Photoshop is the industry leader in picture manipulation, but it lacks CAD-like tools to draw a straight line! You have to use Illustrator to do the line work... but then again, there are times, such as when you are drawing a map, that the Illustrator tools do not work so well either.

I would encourage you to take a look at Canvas... it has a blend of the raster (photoshop) and vector (illustrator) and can save an a lot of different formats. It has a 15 day demo program online... download it and check it out. If you do go for it, you will invest about $350 or so for it (not $800 that photoshop wants). FOr making maps, it was a great program to work with.

Give it a run.

Christian

what version of gimp are you in? the version that i use has lots and lots of colors...more than 256 i believe...its the newest out yet. and the free version of it too. ill give it a run right now...yep ive got millions of colors.

so you don't own either site, but you just want the favicon for one to appear for the other?

thats pretty much what he's asking, i dont see a problem with its, its just a small graphic that he likes that he would like to see show up on his other favorites list. hell if i knew how i would like to use some sites favicons that i have seen on some other favorites.

just a question though...does it matter to have the src="location of script" then?type="text/javascript"

also, have you tried removing the actualy <script tags from it? i know that when i went to do what your doing but for an image swap program, that i had to remove the <script> and </script> from the script itself and save it to its own JS file, before that i was having issues getting it to work.

Hi,

first posting here.

i was wondering if I could use the same mini icon specifying one site to be displayed when i bookmark another site.

Specifically: the little orange man logo for Cingular
http://www.cingular.com/index_welcome

I have the following site bookmarked in my "bookmarks toolbar folder," so that it shows up on my Firefox browser as a toolbar all the time, but without any associated icons.

https://www.attwireless.com/

Is there a way that i can bookmark
https://www.attwireless.com/ to show the little Cingular logo when I go to the
https://www.attwireless.com/ site?

Thanks,

what your talking about i believe is called the favicon or somthing like that. and yes there is a way to do it...how im not sure. i know if you could find the location and the target of the favicon then you could change it to your liking, but as of now, im not sure. maybe if you do a google search on how they work and where they are located you could find out what your looking to do.

i just signup to ask you to show me the basic and advance script for creating a online game startup bot

though i personally dont know how to do this, you are going to need to give alot more info.

like what game is it, how do you connect to the servers, what does the bot do, how does the bot connect...etc
