Hi, getting the following error when I try to "initialize" by blog by going to mywebpage.com/mt/mt-load.cgi: what did I do wrong? I created the database in the CPanel > Manage MySQL and my user name and password. I knew I shouldn't have taken on this task on my own and know I'm hopelessly lost ... thanks! !!blue

Help! I just upgraded to Mozilla Firebird 0.7 and the browser has no scrollbars. Even with different themes! And I've deleted the Mozilla folder and re-installed the latest build twice and still no scrollbars. Not that it's killing me, but it is bothersome. And apparently it's a known bug (see link), but has it been fixed? Does anyone know what's going on? http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221079 thanks, !!blue

Borfast, Thanks for the .js file, I'm gonna upload the .js file & the updated index tonight. I will let everyone know if it works for me. Everyone is so helpful here, def feeling the love :hug: later, !!blue

....and let me tell you, it saved me a lot of headache!

Those didn't work cuz some of the items under the Command menu are greyed out but I did find something that worked.... in the search and replace I searched for the semi-color ";" and replaced it with "; Ctrl+Enter". In other words, in the replace box I literally typed the semi-colon then hit Ctrl + Enter and finally Replace All problem-solved! hope this helps someone out there! later, !!blue

Hi, I'm going through some javascript code, but the thing is it's all in one long line and I want to enter some comments. How can I have Dreamweaver or even Notepad search & replace all the semi-colons with semi-colon + line break? Have about 6 .js files that are in this condition. Right now, doing it manually, but darnit I'm getting tired! thanks, !!blue

Feather, my god, it's brilliant! * evil laughter * * even more evil laughter * thanks, !!blue

Thanks! Phew, I was doing way too much!!

Hi all, I wrote a javascript code (see below ) and it works to a degree. What it does is check the user's screen width and choose a size for the window to be resized to according to that resolution. Well, the width is always dead-on, but some resolutions have differing heights for the same width setting. So, is there a more efficient way to resize the window to be full screen without using all that code below? >var win_width = (screen.width); switch (win_width){ case 480: window.self.moveTo(0,0); window.self.resizeTo(640,430); break; case 800: window.self.moveTo(0,0); window.self.resizeTo(800,550); break; case 1024: window.self.moveTo(0,0); window.self.resizeTo(1024,718); break; case 1152: window.self.moveTo(0,0); window.self.resizeTo(1152, 814); break; case 1280: window.self.moveTo(0,0); window.self.resizeTo(1280, 950); break; case 1600: window.self.moveTo(0,0); window.self.resizeTo(1600,1150); break; default: window.self.moveTo(0,0); break; } many thanks, !!blue

Hi all, Just wanted to know what some of you thought of the whole WHOIS/privacy issues. The issue is that anyone (from friend to foe) can find out your personal info, such as address & phone numbers, by doing a WHOIS search of your domain. I don't like this idea and wrote an email to network solutions (from whom I purchased my domain name) and asked if this info could be private or hidden from view. Does anyone have any thoughts on this issue? Am I being paranoid ? What are some ideas that you can share? Here's a link I found while researching this topic (google: whois "privacy"): WHOIS & Privacy later, !!blue

Jim, Thanks! Unfortunately, the source files weren't available to me @ work since I didn't create them; but I would've if I could've But, yes, I do try to publish down to version 5. Although sometimes I can't cuz I can't make the actionscript backwards compatible or also like having a text field with an instance name won't work in flash 5. laters, !!blue

Jim, Yes, using CSS the layers have the same background, plus the embedded swf also had background colors. After much research, turns out the browser has to have the latest version of flash player installed AND the embedded swfs have to be set to be transparent (<param name="wmode" value="transparent"> along with wmode="transparent" inside the EMBED tag). When I did that, the code worked but my boss and I decided against it cuz the user must install the *latest* flash player not just 6. thanks, !!blue

Borfast, I suspected as much, cuz I tried that exact thing! The text changed but the swfs all showed up simultaneously Now I know IE5/Mac OSX can't handle div layers... Back to the drawing board! thanks, !!blue

Hi, attached is the example I got from the website and all I did was change the div contents to hold swf files instead of the current text and what seems to happen is that the swfs in their individual layers are all visible at the same time. thanks, !!blue dhtmlLayers.html

Hi all, Using a DHTML layers code I found on the web (dyn-web), I created a page with a swf in each layer. A quirk I get on IE5 on the Mac OSX is that each swf is visible in each layer and plays (which gives it a cool effect, but not what I'm going for). Anyhow, I wanted to know if this is an IE/Mac issue or is there better code out there I could use or do I need to just edit the code slightly? Sorry I can't post the example I created, it's at my job. thanks, !!blue

Jim, The reason I'm using iframes is because I want to have next and previous buttons change the iframe content without having to do extensive JavaScript, PHP or other code (call it laziness?). When you say layers, what exactly do you mean? And can layer contents be changed with next and previous links? Will have to do research on this... Thanks, !!blue

Hi all, I created a page with a section that uses iframes and the allowTransparency does not work in Netscape 7. Any ideas as to what I might have done wrong? or does there need to be a workaround? HTML with IFrame code: ><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" height="250" hspace="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" name="myEye" scrolling="auto" src="img1.htm" title="myFrame" vspace="0" width="500" allowtransparency="true" style="background: transparent;"> Iframe source code includes: ><body style="background: transparent;"> the page isn't up yet, still in creation, so I don't have any links to the example. thanks everyone! , !!blue

good one!

Good to know that nothing can stop TCH! Here in Chicago, we're pretty distant from all the hub-bub, but I hope that everything will be worked out in the end. everyone take care, !!blue Rock Sign

a few reco's: Designing Web Usability Don't Make Me Think! Designing with Web Standards First two were recommended reading at my school (studying web design) and the last is a newer book that I want to get also. small list, hope it helps. later, !!blue

Well said Turtle! I'm always recommending TCH to my friends at school, and being that we're all web designers I might be sending a lotta business TCH's way. It's my small way of thanking TCH by bringing in the bucks! later, !!blue

What a great idea! You guys are always coming up with great ideas to keep us happy and get the new customers coming in! Keep up the great work! Rock Sign later, !!blue

Dejitaru, The Contact link doesn't work, change the code of the link to be: ><a href="mailto:dejitaru@racingflix.net" title="dejitaru@racingflix.net"> but then it will only work if the user has Outlook or something similar on their computer that would open those New Message windows, that's where the title comes in so that when the user is over the icon a little text thingy comes up showing your email address. other then that, slick look! later, !!blue

Hi, I listen to tons o' stuff: Spanish Rock, House, retro 80s, Electronic, Techno, Techno-Industrial, R&B, some Rap No specific artists, however top favorites: Gustavo Cerati, Depeche Mode, Daft Punk, Front 242, New Order... in no particular order later, !!blue
