I used SSI to include the a php random quote in my shtml page like so, <!--#include file="quote.php" --> So I kept the vaguely familiar index.shtml. I tried an index.php but just didn't like the extension. Prehaps it's a childhood thing. . . I never liked peas? Thumbs Up

P.S. Does this not pose any security risks on a board like this. Allowing people to execute scripts in a thread?

OK, just to see if understood all that. Your avatar is a PHP file with an image extension. The PHP file contains the necessary info to write one of a selection of random images. Hey presto, a random iamge is written by the PHP. And another Borfast passport pic pops up.

I came accross this neat little app about a year ago, when I found it, it was totally free and required no registration etc. having returned to the site today I find it is now $29.99 but as the origional was free to distribute here it is. Original FREE version It's a great way of viewing and cleaning up your registry plus removing unwanted start up items from your PC. For a list of what is and isn't safe to remove from your start up, this is probably one of the most well researched resources of it kind on the net http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_pages...tartup_full.htm It tells you what every entry in your startup is doing and wether it is necessary. You can now safely remove items that are safe to from your registry and your PC will load quicker. I have over 200 different applications installed on my PC and this is my startup list: AlltoTray NvCPLdaemon SoundFusion I've been removing items as they appear for over a year now and never had a single problem. Please read the warnings and readme files before carrying out any operation of this sort.

Thanks Borfast. By the way I've meaning to ask. . . Do you manually change your Avatar on a regular basis or have you someother clever way of doing it.

I'm thinking of creating a site to promote web standards among web sites in Wales. Users can add their sites to a directory and can display a good4wales button if they're site is Valid [W3] and offers bilingual content and contains no unsuitable content etc. Thus creating a good4wales site directory. Is this something I can do off my own back or will I need to recieve authority from another organisation to do this? I know there are a lot of sites that have schemes like this [none that I can find for Wales specifically]. I would appreciate any feedback as to wether this a reasonable idea or is it something only major organisations can do? Thumbs Up

I currently have a domain registered with 1&1 hosting and have recently discovered this message in their FAQ; OK fair enough but I notice that you [or your affiliate] don't do .co.uk addresses so will i have to find another company to register the name with and then point the DNS to you? If so who do you recommend? I am with 1&1 because I have several domains with them and they are only £1.99 p/a for .co.uk but I didn't realise I couldn't point DNS to you. Thanks

If you want to allow users to dynamically change the font size of text on your page without style sheets you can use the JavaScript [ getElementById ] method as follows; ><html> <head> <title>YOUR PAGE</title> <script LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" TYPE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT"> <!-- Hide script from old browsers function ChangeFontSize(id, size) { document.getElementById(id).style.fontSize = size + "px"; } // End hiding script from old browsers --> </SCRIPT> </head> <body> <FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=4> <a href="#" onclick="ChangeFontSize('lyr','20')">A</a></font> <FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=5> <a href="#" onclick="ChangeFontSize('lyr','30')">A</a></font> </font> <div id="lyr"> Text to change goes here </div> </body> </html> I've not tested whether its valid through W3 or Bobby though but I'll leave that up to you!

Coffee? No thanks I only drink Tea. . .milk, no sugar. . .as strong as it gets! Oh yeh and it's hot! [Not iced with lemons floating around in it?] Very little interesting science involved in making a cup and still the majority of people can't make a decent cuppa. PG RoX!!

Thanks for the interest guys and cool tips, The plan has been finished although I've not posted it because it's a mixture of loads of files which I havn't collated. I went to a meeting with the WDA [Welsh Development Agency] yesterday and they have approved our project for funding. . .Grants no less. . Only problem now is premesise. I'll keep you posted on my progess. Thumbs Up

I agree with Andy, Like a shop create an index page with an opening soon message then wonderring soles may come back later. I've created an index page with non functioning links and a message that the site will be active soon. Thumbs Up

Yes a very warm welcome. It's great here. Rock Sign you'll love it. How about a forum topic for people to introduce themselves a short peice about themselves. I always wonder what all these people here really do and where they really come from. Thumbs Up

Yes 24hrs maybe a lifetime for a Mayfly but it's a flash in the pan for someone like me with two jobs and trying to start their own business. I like the article idea but maybe if its a more open subject because everyone knows more about something than someone but it may not be an IT related subject. A lot of people here are new to web design and computers hence why they've chosen the easiest to use friendliest server on the web [ Rock Sign ]. Prehaps once all the entries are in someone could collate them into a site dedicated to being a mine of random information. Thumbs Up

Yeh but if we did that you'd have won cos otherwise we wonldn't be doin it. . . Ahhh. . . vicious cirlce!

I've already discounted my web site idea as it give too many people and unfair edge. I think if we do a scavanger hunt it needs to be based on something other than first one back as me and Andy [and anyone else this side of the pond] aren't or shouldn't be awake when you guys are. It gets very quiet here during the UK daytime. Like now, I'm all alone . . . . looking for symapthy? ZZZZZ Wake up you lot!! except HG who is probably still working! We could make a picture story using Googles image search and the funniest one wins?

I recently discovered the google toolbar can supress the bodyonunload command within pages and to me these are definately the most annoying popups around.

Is it just me or are there loads of new members now theres a PC up for grabs? How about a lottery/raffle. . .paypal. . . Proceeds go to winners charity? or best fund raising event organised?

Now doesn't that feel nice. Thanks dsdemmin. They'll never be gone but it certainly feels good to give the cheaters a kick in the shins. Rock Sign
