| | Some sites seem to customize their pages depending upon where they detect you are from (i.e. - U.S., Canada, UK, France, etc.). How do they do that? It would be nice to do something similar. My site is pretty simple, but I would like to avoid the risk of having … |
| | I recently installed WordPress 2.9 on one of my web sites. Then I found a theme that I think fits the site very well.

| | Hello, all. The company that hosts my web site does no filtering of spam or viruses whatsoever. Whatever is sent to me, I get. They have indicated that most of their clients are companies that deal with those matters at [I]their[/I] end. Previously, this was not a problem, because I … |
| | I recently upgraded to the latest version of Firefox (3.5.1) and now my highlighting is all messed up. To speed up finding a term in a web page, I usually do a Control-F, enter the term for highlighting, and click the "Highlight All" button, so that the term is highlighted …  |
| | Tonight (Thursday, November 27) I noticed most lounges are missing. The only one I see listed is the Geeks' Lounge. However, at the top of the page, I still saw a reference to the other lounges: "Our Geeks' Lounge forum is the place to chat about anything. Have fun and …  |

| | Hi, everybody. I have noticed that there are a [I]lot[/I] of forums on the Internet. Many of them have the same themes and cover the same material that is covered on bigger sites (like DaniWeb). So now I am wondering if there is any benefit, in terms of marketing, to … |
| | I usually code all my Javascript in a single external file that accepts the data from a form in the main page's HTML textarea box. Now I would like to break up this single Javascript file into separate files. For example, I'd like to have main.js as the main controlling … |
| | Hi, folks. For those of you whose websites get significant traffic, I am wondering if there was one particular event that you consider to be a breakthrough? For example, was it a mention in a popular blog, in a community newspaper, radio, etc. What do you consider to be the … |
| | Hello, everybody. Out of the blue I recently received an e-mail from somebody who would like to put a text ad on my website. This is the first such offer I have received, and I have no idea how to price an ad. Is it based on the PR of … |
| | Hi, everybody. I am looking for advice from veteran webmasters--those who have successfully made money on the Internet. To me, it seems like the main ways to make money from a website are either an affiliate program or an AdSense account. However, I am becoming increasingly skeptical about making money … |
| | Hi, everybody. I am thinking about upgrading from my existing DVD player to a new Blu-ray disc player. However, I am wondering if it is as simple as just purchasing the player. I don't want to purchase the player and then find out my TV doesn't support the connections, etc. …  |
| | Hi, everybody. A question I have had for a while regarding forums is if there is some way to configure an alert to be e-mailed to me for specified keywords. I don’t know everything about everything. I might read a few threads covering topics of personal interest, or simply out … |
| | Hi, folks. I am wondering if anybody in this forum is in, or going to, Vienna, Austria? (With over 200K members, I hope somebody in this forum can reply) It may sound like a silly request, but I am wondering if somebody could tell me what is at Rathausstrasse 20. … |
| | Hi, folks. I am about to start exploring a field I haven't bothered with up to now: Internet TV. I do not have cable television (not even a basic service), but I do have a high-speed Internet connection. So I thought I'd learn what the Internet has to offer in …  |
| | Hi, folks. (Any Gmail experts here?) I am getting involved with the Parent Advisory Council (PAC) at my son’s school and have created a Google Calendar that includes all meetings, school events, etc. For the monthly PAC meetings I have specified that a reminder e-mail be sent out two days … |
| | I'd like to suggest another logout link for DaniWeb. I often browse the site from my local public library, which runs Linux machines with the Epiphany web browser. When surfing DaniWeb, the first five links are visible once a page is loaded:"CONTROL PANEL", "DONATE", "FAQ", "RULES", and "MEMBER SEARCH". When … |
| | Hopefully, there are some Monty Python fans here who can help me. I recall seeing a Monty Python skit in which there was blood squirting all over. For example, one person played the piano and another person accidentally dropped the key cover down on the player's fingers. His fingers were …  |
| | Here is a basic question (I thought I knew how to do this, but apparently not). (I am using Firefox 2.0.0.4, in case that is a factor). I am writing a Javascript page and want one of the text fields to default to a blank when the page is reloaded. … |
| | I am presently translating some code from C++ to Javascript and it involves quite a few floating point calculations. The program uses several built-in machine constants to help it quantify and limit computer round-off error. For example, it includes the constants DBL_MIN and DBL_EPSILON from the <cfloat> library within C++. …  |
| | Hi, folks. I recently started to get involved in my child's school's Parent Group. I am considering suggesting to the group the use of an online calendar to keep track of activities throughout the year (for example, September 18 is a symphony field trip, January 13 is hot lunch day, … |
