  1. Well, here's a few tips: change the <h2> into <h3> to make the text smaller. Or simply remove it if you want it to be the same size of the rest of the text. If you really want to control the size, try replacing the <h2> with <span style='font-size: 1em;'> Don't forget to close those tags! About the borders around the items, it's simple, just replace border=\"1\" with style='border: 0;' Let me know if it does the trick
  2. Hi Thomas. I was going to tell you to try again, because what you were getting was a "404 page not found" error but then I tried accessing the URL and it was working. As for your other question, see that "// output as HTML" line, near the bottom of the script? You can edit the HTML code you see after that to make the page look as you want.
  3. Hugo, given the... confidence you demonstrated in your message, I'll take it that you know that from a better source than I do. Thanks for the correction (not that it was that important but... )
  4. Thomas, the $FILES variable will look like this: $FILES = '/home/thomas/dada_files'; About sendmail, you can use /usr/sbin/sendmail Hope this helps
  5. Always eating... Yes, I also hope it makes them make a better product and I think it will but since I lost my hope on them, I don't expect it to be enough for me to use. And even if they manage to do something really incredible, I still don't think I'll use it, because of their other issues (their marketing strategies and stuff like I mentioned in my previous post). But yes, it will definitely benefit us.

  7. It's even funnier after reading the interview. The interviewer says "Meanwhile, Firefox and Opera look awfully appealing." and the MS guy answers "Security is really an industry-wide problem. Just this morning I had to install an update to Firefox to block a flaw that would've allowed an attacker to run a program on my system". Translation: "Hey, mister, don't you say bad things about our programs, you hear?! Those other free software things have lots of problems too, like that one I just patched this morning, and like... err... well...errr... like... err... that one I just patched... See?! They have lots of problems too! Nhia nhia nhia! So don't you say bad things, or I'll go tell Mr. Bill Gates!" The funniest part is that he doesn't say that this flaw in Firefox is actually a flaw in Windows and the Firefox programmers simply decided to cripple their program so their users wouldn't be affected by yet another MS error. These MS guys crack me up. It's pathetic. Why can't they admit their browser (and e-mail client, for that matter) is practically the sole responsible for the propagation of viruses these days? That their browser is insecure, it's buggy, it's bloated, it's outdated, lacks features that have become a standard for almost all other browsers. If they did that, they'd earn back a little bit of respect. They would benefit 1000% more if they were honest but no, they have to defend their products and attack others, even if for that end they have to lie with all their teeth. I always heard that the first step to solve a problem is admitting you have one. But Microsoft doesn't seem to listen to anyone else except themselves, so they must have missed it... This is one of the biggest reasons why I don't think I'll ever go back to MS products if I have a choice.
  8. Oh, and by the way, Microsoft is not planning on having Windows secured until around 2011 This one is hilarious Qutiong from Slashdot:
  9. Yeah, I imagined that. But I don't know the details, I only know about it from this Inquirer story: Internal memo confirms IBM move to Linux desktop. I think I also saw something on SlashDot about the DoD's Linux supercomputer. And if you search Google about "switching to Linux" you'll find lots of stories about companies, schools, governments, institutions and other entities that are already making the transition or at least considering it.
  10. They're taking all this time probably because they're packing it up with everything they can in a desperate effort to resist the wave of migration away from their products. IE is the one suffering the most, because people are finally realizing IE is not a good browser. Too bad it took them too long and a load of viruses to make them see the light. Windows is also starting to suffer some casualties, with big boys like IBM changing all their internal office machines to Linux; HP selling PC's with Linux preloaded, governments all over the world switching from Windows to other Free Operating Systems and a lot more of other folks turning their backs on MS. They better take their time and deliver something good, for a change. But I don't have much hope. I lost all hope on the Redmond giant a long time ago.
  11. You know, I think you should really try a bit harder to make things work before coming to the public forums saying that you can't do something everybody else here has already done. You're the first person I've seen complaining about not being able to use forms on TCH. Actually, I think you're the first person I've ever seen complaining about not being able to use forms on *any* hosting service. Well, of course I'm not counting with those people who didn't know how to do it but then again, they didn't blame it on the hosting service either. Just one question: if you think have there is something wrong with the server or your account (I'm not putting that possibility asside), why didn't you submit a help desk ticket and ask them to take a look at the problem? Or even me! Heck, I'm willing to give up some of my time and try to help you out, just to see what's the problem with the scripts you're trying to install. Oh, by the way, not having a custom (with "custom" meaning "created by you instead of the hosting service") error pages setup in your account means exactly that: you didn't create them. If you didn't create them, they won't simply appear as they would in a magic act.
  12. Hi Chris. Well, I suggest WordPress. It's easy to set up and has a lot of funtionalities that you may or may not use. There's also TextPattern but most people who tried both seem to prefer WP (including myself). By the way, I'm moving this to a more appropriate forum. Edit: OK, forget about the moving part, Bruce was quicker than me
  13. Hi. While it is not possible for a regular user to create symlinks, if you really need them you can submit a help desk ticket and ask the techs to create it for you

  15. I'm not absolutely sure, either but I'm betting more on a FP related problem than something with Gallery, because I don't see how installing Gallery on your site would damage the frontpage setup in any way
  16. I don't use Frontpage, so I can't help you much but I'll move your post to a more appropriate forum and one of the many FP users we have on the forums will probably be able to help you
  17. Glad you got it to work, Nick!
  18. Hi Nicolas, and welcome to the forums About your problem, I never used TextPattern but we do have a few users here on the forums, so I think they'll be able to help you out Moving for better organization.
  19. Thomas, if you like those, check this one out I just pulled off by accident: hit the plane AND the basket with just one shot! I think I'm hooked to that game
  20. Yep, pretty cool, huh? You can do all sorts of stuff with that, like making it hit the floor and catch it again, throw it against the basket to make it bounce back and catch it once more, hit the plane and still catch...
  21. It's not easier, it's the same thing. I never even tried it, it was just a thought, so I'm not even sure if it is possible. The idea is to use JavaScript's DOM functions to create a new "frameset" object, insert new "frame" objects into it and assign the pages you want to those frames.
  22. Nick, I don't know how to do what you want, sorry But I'm sure someone here at the forums will know what to do and will help you out
  23. OK, here's a few things for you to try and make it a bit more interesting 1 - Throw the ball from below instead of above; 2 - Try hitting the plane, catching the paper ball and hit the basket; 3 - My personal favorite: try hitting the basket by making the paper ball bounce on the floor These should keep you entertained
  24. You can submit a help desk ticket (link at the top of the forums pages) and the tech staff can take care of it for you.
  25. Well, if it is possible, it will require JavaScript, you won't be able to escape that, I'm pretty sure. The only way I can think of is by using JavaScript's DOM functions and properties to get the topmost window object (window.top, if I remember correctly) and create a frameset for that window object. But by doing that, you'll have a problem: the page that was being displayed will not belong to the frameset. I don't know if there's a way to make the page a part of the frameset without reloading the whole page... Here's a link to a page in Google's cache about "Setting Frameset Specifications Dynamically" to get you started.
