nice survey! count me as one respondent

I *love* using mozilla Firebird! And now that I have the extension that saves my tabs I love it even more. The *only* problem I've ever had is when I visit A List Apart I can't scroll their pages with my mouse scroller; which is a bug of Mozilla that they're aware of cuz I emailed them . Visit Firebird for extensions and themes (skins). later, !!blue

thanks for the support! abt strict xhtml: yeah, it's the tables. I'm getting into doing tableless design recently. Slowly but surely
-
Hm.. I'll check it out as for however long it's free. Anyone else have any suggestions? thanks, !!blue

Anyone know of an HTML mailer that's free & easy to use? I'd like to send out some Holiday HTML emails to some people on my list. I've heard you can use MS Outlook—which I'd have to install if that's the case. Any suggestions? Does CPanel have a feature like this? thanks, !!blue

Oh! that might just be it! I was uploading via the hard drive; I will try it. * uploads file to site & validates the URL * Hmm.. still states the page is invalid, "the doctype does not allow the form here". I'm going to move the form tag outside the table instead of inbetween. Thanks everyone! !!blue update: yay! it's valid transitional XHTML. I don't think I'm ready for Strict XTHML though...

really ? hold on.... * switches windows and tries it * ok, that worked! no I got my 'real' errors, e.g.: final question: should I change the php code thingies '<' '>' to < and >? or would that fark up the php code? thanks! !!blue

So, I'm jumping into the XHTML bandwagon and editing my html pages accordingly. I'm trying to validate one page that includes a php form using W3C Validator and it gives me the following error: here's the code for the actual page in xhtml format (i think?) edited for clarity: ><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>!!blue's portfolio site</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> <meta name="description" content="web designer who works with HTML, Flash, CSS and more; use the form to send me an email." /> <meta name="keywords" content="Zulema Ortiz; !!blue; web design; HTML; Flash" /> <meta name="rating" content="general" /> <meta name="copyright" content="Copyright 2003 - Zulema Ortiz" /> <meta name="revisit-after" content="1 week" /> <meta name="expires" content="Fri, 31 Dec 2003 00:00:01 GMT" /> <meta name="distribution" content="global" /> <meta name="robots" content="index,nofollow" /> <meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" /> <link href="display.css" rel="stylesheet" title="colors" type="text/css" /> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript" src="swap.js"> </script> </head> <body onload="MM_preloadImages('img/des_f2.gif')"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="750" summary="web designer who works with HTML, Flash, CSS and more; use the form to send me an email."> <tr> <td colspan="9" align="left" valign="top" class="bgText"> <!--START: main content cell--> <br /> <b>Zulema Ortiz</b> <br /> <p>e-mail: <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"> //<![CDATA[ long-ish code here removed for clarity //]]> </script> <br /> resumé: <a href="resume.pdf">pdf format</a> | <a href="resume.txt">text format</a><br /> </p> <table width="450" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="links" summary="contact me using this form"> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <?php $to = "zulema_ortiz@zoblue.com"; $from_header = "From: $Name <$Email>"; if($Email != "" || $Email == "^[_\\.0-9a-z-]+@([0-9a-z][0-9a-z-]+\\.)+[a-z]{2,3}$") { mail($to,"Subject","\n$Name\n$Email\n\nComments...\n$Message\n",$from_header); print ("<i>Your note has been sent!

I'm pretty new to the whole XHTML thing and I think having the PHP form inside the code is what's throwing the validator off. But I don't know why it's giving me the "application/octet-stream" error. help! !!blue

Never mind the fact that Microsoft is coming out with its own version of Flash.

Hey all, Just thought I'd let the Flash users out there know that the new version of IE slated to come out early next year will give users a pop-up alert asking for their permission to load active content (like Flash swfs). Macromedia wrote this article on how to get around this new *feature*: Preparing Websites with Active Content for Announced Browser Changes and actually here's the article where I got the above link: How to prep for the new IE browser I'm already starting to prepare my flash portfolio pages (a major task) but I'll eventually finish. regards, !!blue

Another die-hard Chicagoan (call me a Windy City girl)! Born & raised in the second largest Mexican community in Chicago called "Little Village"; I have Mexico in my blood. Tho, I did find out my father's great-grandmother was French. later, !!blue

hmm.. i think i know what that is, but i'll have to do more testing. Now, if I only had access to a Win 98 pc, or even a Win 95 while I'm at it. thanks, !!blue

Yeah, I think the cookie takes too long to save the settings, cuz MovableType has its own cookies too and maybe they both trying to save themselves or something like that and it's taking long. It happens to me too and since I don't know THAT much about cookies, I'll leave it alone. Thanks to all! !!blue
-
Good! Glad to hear it's working ok, so I guess I won't worry about it. I'll try it on other computers & such. Can anyone else verify it works? Thanks! !!blue

Hi all, So, I've added a simple style sheet switcher to my blog that I got from A List Apart and it seems to work fine... half of the time. http://www.zoblue.com/mt/ I added the following lines of code to the head part of ALL the templates as follows: ><link rel="stylesheet" href="<$MTBlogURL$>styles-site.css" type="text/css" title="standard" /> <link rel="alternate stylesheet" href="<$MTBlogURL$>style2.css" type="text/css" title="lighter" /> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="<$MTBlogURL$>styleSW.js"></script> So, the javascript file does the style sheet switching and has a cookie that saves your setting and carries it through to consequent pages. The standard "dark" setting works fine, it's the alternate "light" setting that sometimes carries through and sometimes it doesn''t Sometimes I have to refresh the page, THEN it carries the style through. And it should carry it through to the "Comments" pop-up and the "contact me" pop-up too. Do you think the cookie settings in the MT blog somehow interfere the js file's cookie? any ideas? is it a browser issue? I've tried it PC: Mozilla Firebird 0.7/ Netscape 7.1 / IE6 and Mac Mozilla 5 / IE 5. thanks, !!blue ps: already posted this question on the Movable Type forum and haven't gotten a response yet.

Ne'er mind, I fixed it! Just made another div class with the border and put that around everything between the body tags. Still don't know what was throwing it off; but Netscape & Mozilla wanted to put a border around each line of the copy instead of the whole page.
-
Ok, I have a small pop-up window that contains a PHP form to contact me from my MT weblog. My minor problem is that in Netscape, the border I have around the body gives me problems (looks bad). Of course, in Explorer, it looks fine. I wonder if it's the code to obfuscate the e-mail? Dunno. The link to open the pop-up window is found under Links on the right-hand side under "contact me". http://www.zoblue.com/mt/ here's the code (minus the meta tags): thanks all, !!blue

Can u imagine? Ugghh, that might be the straw that would break the camel's back and make people switch to Linux or Mac! I'm certainly thinking of doing so if Micro$oft continues its shenanigans.

All my current browsers open a local HTML page which then opens a remote window with all my most frequently used links. I have about ten categories and use anchor links to view links under each category (if that makes any sense). The links then open up in the main window. And when I'm away from my computer I do have those pages loaded on my site. Very useful and I recommend everyone create one of their own. Forget bookmark links! Use a remote window! Here's a link to how to create a basic one: Remote Window I'm sure you can make it pretty tho! later, !!blue

I use WS_FTP for the big stuff and usually use Dreamweaver when I'm making minor edits to pages. Haven't really tried anything else, since those were the two I used while at school. later, !!blue

I will try the most recent build; Also, how do I go about cleaning out the registry? 'Nother question: when I install the new build, how do I keep my extensions? Every time I do a new build, I hafta re-install the extensions; gets kinda annoying. thanks! !!blue

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly everyone helps everyone here! :hug:
-
Yes! that did it! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Phew! One stumbling block outta the way! On to the next one! thanks again! !!blue

Ok, so I did that and I still get an error message: anything else I need to do?

Dennis, Yes, I did: in CPanel > Manage MySQL the database name is shown as: zobluec_mtdatabase and the user name is shown as: zobluec_mtadmin should I put exactly that in the mt.cfg file? cuz right now it's: and I did enter the correct password in the mt-db-pass.cgi file. Is it that I have to use the prefix zobluec_ for database and DBUser? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- allright, I tried the above and used the prefix zobluec_ and got the following error: I think i'm going crazy !
