While on your page I found something else I needed to mention that can cause difficulty. NAMING. Anchors and page names that do not follow standard formatting can cause corruptions in your tlx design file. Remember to use lowercase, no spaces and no symbols except the underline (mypage.htm, my_page.htm are fine, but my page.htm is incorrect) I found this anchor on your home page: http://www.ourlilbear.com/index_m.htm#let_s_talk_about_it___1 It tells me that you have an anchor that contains spaces AND symbols both: let's talk about it is the anchor in your design file, and CSB translates that to let_s_talk_about_it___1 because the spaces have to be filled and the ' must be replaced. If the anchor were named lets_talk or letstalk, it would be named properly. CSB gives no warning on this issue and just corrects your error (that you did not know about) as best it can. The program suggests anchor name based on the local text when the anchor is placed and unless you know better, you would accept the text it shows in the anchor window! Avoid the future problems that improper naming causes and make your anchors and page names follow standard formatting. By the way, downloadable file names follow the same format! Music, video, pdf files, etc should also be lowercase if possible (some servers are very case sensitive), should have NO spaces or symbols in the name. Use an underline instead of spaces. Having improper names may make it more difficult for CSB to generate correct HTML code. -Samantha

If you are in the habit of previewing your site, you may have the publishing option checked to publish to local html folder. That is great for defining where your preview will be stored. But when you publish/upload to your website at the host server, you should UNCHECK the box for local HTML folder (in your publishing options). That option can and DOES interfer with the upload of the music files and others. -Samantha

Author field is for your name, if you choose to use it.

At work I use Adobe Acrobat to create pdf documents but it is expensive. We are considering using the program pdf995 on other office machines. Any comments about it? What other programs do you use to make pdf files? -Samantha

I do use the higher end filters (my a/c runs off my furnace system) and change them monthly. This bug has been really bad this year! Lots of folks coming down with it! My elderly neighbor was rushed to the hospital yesterday, turns out his sinus trouble has turned to pneumonia. We've both been struggling with it for weeks, but I have been through 2 antibiotics to prevent that from happening. He kept toughing it out without pills. He's going to be ok after a few days in the hospital. I still have residual crud trying to drown me, but my lungs are clear. -Samantha

Just tried to get into the family forum and the password I used before is not working. Do I need to reset something? Wanted access to SERVER 26 info and know that was moved into the family forum. -Samantha

My office machine DID get the SP2 and still had USB issues. In the process of getting new machine for office. -Samantha

Bruce, I had that problem on my NETWORKED computer, but not on the standalone machine at home. More than half the time, the usb key I had inserted WAS available on the networked machine, but did not appear so in the explorer window. When I double clicked one of the other drives (not my c,d or f, since they are fixed) the data would appear in the window. For example, in the explorer window g drive would indicate that that it was connected to the "company" folder on my server. But when I double clicked it, the data matched the data in my usb key so I was able to transfer to and from the key. Got used to it after a while and stopped asking why. (It is windows afterall) -Samantha

Excellent! Sounds like a better plan actually. -Samantha

I have a strong constitution. Usually. I have spent days out of work this month with bronchitis and a throat infection (from sinus yuck). After a couple weeks of antibiotics and cough meds, I was feeling so much better... for three days that is. Now I have another sinus infection and feeling like yuck again. Round 2 of a different antibiotic! And more coughing and SNEEZING up the wazoo. The doctors say this has been the worst season they have seen for sinus infections. Do you think the hurricanes changed pressure or stirred up dormant stuff or what??? -Samantha

Hope the info helps. I have more on Iframes here: http://www.samisite.com/test-csb2nf/id43.htm (including how to use transparency, hover and linking to multiple iframes at once). I culled the items above from my iframe page to give you the basics in my forum post. -Samantha

Standard Iframe code is: ><iframe name="FRAMENAME" src="contentpage.htm" width="100" height="280" frameborder="0"></iframe> For example: ><iframe name="FRAME1" src="contentpage.htm" width="100" height="280" frameborder="0"></iframe> This code is placed on the page where you want your iframe window. Then you create a page with your stories, your content page. The Iframe will display the contents of the content page. Code notes: Iframe name = Name of the frame (call it anything you want) No spaces, no symbols except - and _ Multiple iframes: each iFrame needs a different name src = Address of the Contents page that you want to see in the iframe (This is the other page seen through the iframe window when you load the page.) The iframe will begin by displaying this page through the window. width and height = Enter number of pixels for the iframe window "730" Or enter the percentage for the window size "80%" frameborder = 1 causes a 3d edge on the iFrame window. Using 0 makes the edge invisible. There are other settiings like scrollbars, transparency, etc. but you probably won't need them. If you name your Iframe "FRAME1", then your links to change the content of that iframe will use the TARGET to that frame and will look like this: SIMPLE TEXT LINK HTML CODE - Absolute link: story 1 ><A href="http://www.domain.com/story1.htm" target="FRAME1">Story 1</A> SIMPLE TEXT LINK HTML CODE - Absolute link with a floating tooltip: story 2 ><A href="http://www.domain.com/story2.htm" target="FRAME1" title="This story is very interesting">Story 2</A> If you need to link to anchors on your content page, then your link would look like this: ><A href="http://www.domain.com/contentpage.htm#story1" target="FRAME1">Story 1</A> Haven't tried to display MT in an iframe, but if the content page contains the data then it should view through the iframe. I have had iframes display other iframes. Good Luck. -Samantha

Another AnyPassword user here. LOVE IT. Simple, easy and tiny. No drain on resources. "It's freeware, open source, and encrypts your info. It'll also generate random passwords for you, too." fits this program too. -Samantha

Welcome to the family and so nice to see another CSB user! -Samantha

Way to go Bruce! -Samantha

CONGRATUALTIONS TO BOTH OF YOU!! And to Bill: It's terrific to hear that you consider your own staff for different positions. Think that makes you a better leader and your staff stronger! -Samantha

Used AVG for over a year on the old ME machine and it worked great until I brought in the newest version (7) of the free program. The new version seems to be buggy with lots of extra popup notices and other strange things like the database is out of date, etc. Would not recommend the latest version of the software till they get some things straightened out! ZoneAlarm only pops when a new program it does not recognize asks for access. Once you check the box to remember, it will not pop again. It's a no-hands software that really works well! -Samantha

Just got two new computers (one in the office, one at home) and am starting the process of installing software before I move my data over. Both of the new computers will be running Windows XP professional. In my old ME machine, I had problems when I installed to many fonts. How about XP? Since I use my machines for work and play I use many styles on it. Any advice before I install? -Samantha

If weather permits, I go on the TCH forum to see who else is awake. Otherwise I reach for a book to either read, or write something down. I keep a notepad beside the bed. I sometimes wake up and can not get back to sleep if something is rolling around in my head over and over. I have found that if I write it down that seems to release it from my mind. (If I can't remember where I put something or have some other problem I can not work out, I will concentrate on it before going to bed going over all the info I have. Then I often wake up certain of the answer. Sometimes I come up with some new pattern, new idea or a different configuration than what I could envision when awake. Convenient sometimes!) -Samantha

Thank you Bruce!!! Taking tons of screen prints of registered serial numbers so when I reinstall programs I won't be up a creek! -Samantha

Jim, sometimes you and I think alike. Earlier I posted this on the CSB board: -Samantha

We are replacing my work machine with a better one and I am replacing my home machine too! I use OUTLOOK & OUTLOOK EXPRESS for my emails. I can not remember since the last time I moved data which files to back up to keep my emails, contacts, address books, etc. HELP please. And if there are other files/folders (My docs of course) that you folks can think of to remember to transfer also that would be appreciated!!! The office system will be completely restored so someone else can inherit a new machine. The home machine is on last legs. Won't have a second chance to go back to the system to recover files I should have grabbed! What a headache! But will be better once both systems are fully functional again! -Samantha

Happy New Year!! -Samantha

I have tv turned on while working on my computer. Does that count as tv time or computer time? What about when I am cleaning and have the tv on? Not sitting down to watch a full program, but I am listening as I do my chores. And when I'm on the phone and the tv is on in the background? Is that socializing or tv time? Today and tomorrow Cable's Scifi channel has another Twilight Zone marathon on! Love it! Some of the best tv ever made! Have a happy safe new year! -Samantha
