Mc Donalds [Ronald regan > Ronald Mc Donald > Mc Donalds] Bit bottom of the barrel?

Are you uploading to the public_html folder in your web space. The http: //1.1.1.1/~username address shows the content of this folder so if you didn't there will be nothing there.

I was just wonderring where mozilla stores its cache etc. Does it keep it all in its program directory or does it use another location? BTW, the Linux thread rox!!

There's a solution at http://www.pictureflow.com/ArchiveCreator/...es/AC-Main.html it's called picture flow archive creator. It's not free however so I'd check up some reviews before purchasing it. It claims to span millions of gigabytes worth of images accross multiple media [cd/dvd etc.] Has loads of additional features aswell. If you need regular back ups might be worth it. If you want to look further use keywords like SPAN MULTIPLE MEDIA ARCHIVE BACKUP in google. It will return plenty of results for you to sift through. Personally I found a DVD Writer to be the solution, sony and others have just released multi format writers that can use +/- discs so you can create multi session backups. If you find this or other shareware useful, let us know in the freebies section of this forum. Thanks Thumbs Up

Just thought it would help to see all the ideas so far in one place. I know I was having trouble rememberring whats been suggested so anyone new is bound to.

Ah yes, I like your store. At least it's not all graphics. Ooo and knives I like Knives, I have a big collection hanging on my wall in front of me from all around the world. I searched google for a while last night but couldn't find any scripts that say they are written to W3 standards? W3 has a software section but there is nothing like a shopping cart or anything on there. I'm suprised there isn't a site dedicated to scripts written to w3 standards? The majority of ones I can find return 100's of errors when validated. I think that too much emphasis is put on fancy skins and having tons of features. I can't ever recall using any of these fancy add ons while I'm shopping online. Look > Add to basket > register > Pay > that's about as much as I ever do. I will try messing about with some open source carts to see If I can't get one to produce valid output? Thanks all

I recently installed a new shopping cart which on the surface seemed great as it was really customisable, free and had all the features I needed. So whats the catch? The catch is that it is really poorley coded. W3 found too many errors to list so it just gives a "Theres more where that came from" annotation at the bottom of its results. It's also way too graphic heavy, if I wanted a picture gallery I'd have installed one? Check out my test install here eeek-store Has anyone got any recomendations for a cart that meets these requirements; Simple customisable layout Valid HTML Easy to edit content online [won't just be me using it]. Designed for regular updates to products. It's for the online part of my business so quality is very important, if a paid shopping cart is the way to go then so be it.[within reason] The rest of my site is designed to be very simple and easy to use and I want to continue this theme into the online store. Appreciate any feedback. Thumbs Up

Ooo goody I get to do this again . . . . . . . Welcome. Thumbs Up

Totally agree, I've been doing a lot of research on web site accessibility and usability. I'm still pushing for a thread dedicated to just that. Valid HTML, good design, good content don't seem to feature in many sites today. Web sites are similar to professional cameras in that the more proffessional the camera is the more unessential features are removed? A £500 camera will have motor rewind, built in flash and electronic operation whereas a £1500 camera will have manual rewind, no built in flash and manual operation. Can you imagine if google had a 5 minute flash intro? or if yahoo used mystery meat navigation? It's unrealistic to build small family type sites that utilise all the major accessibility featrues but it important to get the basics right. Simple user friendly navigation. Quick page loading times. Clear content and purpose. Support for different browsers. etc. The link you opsted has some great tips and has gone into my fav's . . . thanks! Thumbs Up

I'm a newcomer to web design and had had some bad hosting experiences in the past. I stumbled accross TCH a few months ago now and moved my site to them, I can now confidently say that it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Since joining I have not asked a single question that wasn't answered within hours from one of their truly expert support team or dedicated members. I have been able to learn many new skills and meet some great people through the suberb forums and have been given a level of support almost equivalent to being guided by a mentor as I develop my sites. I recently decided to setup an SQl database and having no idea about this was or how to do it was worried that it would be a very difficult proccess. However following advice found in the forums I discovered the superbly made flash tutorials section that made even something complicated like setting up a database extremely easy. These tutorials have obviously taken time and effort to make and of superb quality. I would like to say a big thank you to all at TCH for providing such a fantastic hosting experience and for all their hard work to keep things running as smoothly as they do. TCH you truly do rock!

Excellent advice btrfld, I just installed Abyss and PHP without any hiccups and everything runs fine. It was really easy to install and I can now view my SSI and PHP offline. Thank you . . . much appreciated.

That's a good point raised and that's why I am not using any Javascripts on my current site. I have never tried anything with ASP, I bought a book [ASP.NET using VB.NET ] and began a tutorial once but it required installation of a .net framework then tons of other stuff and I soon became bogged down and just didn't have time to take it further. Book now gathers dust. Not knowing any VB I figured maybe I was trying to run before I could crawl so I decided to learn HTML and Javascript instead. I am trying to focus more on accessibilty at the moment because it seems to go hand in hand with good design and that is something I feel many sites today lack. What would be a good next step for me on the learning ladder? Thanks

I recently came across a similar problem as my pages contain an inserted header and footer. I designed a complete template page with the header and footer in and when I was completely happy I removed them into external files.

Before I dive into the Linux world I have a couple of questions. What is SuSe Linux and why when Linux is a Free OS is it £80? Is it worth paying for over the free versions? I had decided to move away from windows and was planning on starting fresh, but after reading this post I have decide I will run Linux along side windows while I get used to it. This is a great thread and there are so many others like it floating about, they could do with indexing in a knowledge base site or something similar.

PHP [surefire ]

???, I added the hiding line after I used the script on my site. thats all I changed because everything else seemed to be ok.

Kerpowww!!!!!!!! That would probably be IE's reaction.

Hide script from old browsers, could that be it. Does firebird/mozilla think it can't support this? when really it can.

I'm confused http://www.saint52.com/poems/Bad%20Love/Ju...st%20One.shtml# works in IE, Netscape, Mozilla, and Opera? What's the difference? ????

Thats cool, thanks lstover. I have several parts some word docs, some excel docs and some on paper. I might combine what I have though to make a PDF file later though. thanks for the cool link, have downloaded it and will give it a blast later
