Thomas, in CSS you can write hex color references in one of two ways: 1 - by writing all 6 hexadecimal digits or 2 - by writing only the first digit of each pair. What happens is that if you use the short form #abc, the browser's CSS interpreter will duplicate each digit, resulting in #aabbcc

Tracy, MX 2004 does a lot more than just that. It has far better support for CSS and a bunch of other things Check it here: http://macromedia.com/software/dreamweaver/productinfo/newfeatures/ By the way, I forgot to mention that I use Bluefish for writing code (http://bluefish.openoffice.nl).

Oops... sorry, I missed that

Software App That Can Compare 2 Text Files?
borfast replied to kaseytraeger's topic in Looking for......
I know Meld (http://meld.sourceforge.net/), which is absolutely brilliant. -
Amen! I also prefer DreamWeaver, because it's by far the most standards compliant of them all. And I also find it easier to use. About frontpage, I wouldn't even call that a web page editor. It's just a simple Microsoft document editor, because it's crappy "html" code doesn't work correctly anywhere else but in Internet Explorer...

Thomas, do note that those styles are not part of the CSS standard and they only work in Internet Explorer
-
No problem, Mike. Hope you get it fixed soon

To The Linux Users... Which Distro Dio You Use?
borfast replied to lubox.com's topic in Operating Systems
Well, there's a couple of reasons why you might want to switch to FC2 - Gnome 2.6 / Kde 3.2 and the Linux Kernel 2.6 That and the whole other bunch of software packages that got updated in between -
I'm not sure, Thomas. I suppose it's free, because it's GPL'ed. But you can always download the free version and see if it works for you.

Thomas, I found this today and I thought you could find it usefull: http://www.globalpdf.com/pdf2word/

Mike, have you tried accessing it from another computer? Because if your browser gets the whole source code for the page but doesn't display it, then I'd say it's something wrong in your computer, not the server. If you can't try it on another computer, try this: open the "blank" phpMyAdmin page. Then open the source code and copy the "queryframe.php" url, in the second <frame src="queryframe.php?blablablabla>" and try opening that. If you also get a blank page but the code is there, just like it's happening now, then it's really a problem with your browser. If there's no code, then it's possible that it's something wrong on the server. Also, have you turned off firewalls, pop-up blockers, spyware blockers and such? Not sure why it would make a difference but it's worth a shot.

To The Linux Users... Which Distro Dio You Use?
borfast replied to lubox.com's topic in Operating Systems
Steve, the difference is in the name, that's it I'm starting to realize that most people think Fedora Core is a totally different distribution from Red Hat Linux. It's not. Fedora Core is a community project backed up by Red Hat and in truth, it's still Red Hat Linux except for the name, because it's still Red Hat that decides everything and builds most of it. The only thing that the "community" does is to provide software packages for the distro. Other than that, you might as well call FC1 "Red Hat Linux 10" and FC2 "Red Hat Linux 11" -
Mike, I have no phpMyAdmin folder on my account. CPanel's phpMyAdmin instalation is not in your account, meaning you can't see it. Are you accessing phpMyAdmin via CPanel?
-
I completely agree with you, Mike. I'd go even further and add that as a forum rule. Have you ever tried to view a forum page with 20 posts, each one containing a 460x60 banner, over a 56K connection? It's a really nasty torture...

How Do I Make A Windows Xp Partiton Bootable?

Glad ou did it, James -
To The Linux Users... Which Distro Dio You Use?
borfast replied to lubox.com's topic in Operating Systems
Well, I use FC2 too (the much hated distro, following Red Hat's tradition ) and I completely agree with your points, Ludo. Also, I prefer to use Linux because, just like Etanisla said, I can do more with less - much more with much less! -
I have no idea about what could be wrong, as I know nothing about PERL. But I do have one question: why the "grep -v grep" command at the end? Won't the output of the script be just the same without it?

How Do I Make A Windows Xp Partiton Bootable?
borfast replied to purplespider's topic in Operating Systems
That looks like its Windows' boot loader that is missing. It was probably in the C partition. I have no idea how you can recover from that... I don't think it's possible to install just the boot loader with MS tools but if you want to try, you can install another boot loader, like Grub, and try to access the Windows instalation from there. It's a long shot but the other option I see is that you reinstall Windows. -
How Do I Make A Windows Xp Partiton Bootable?
borfast replied to purplespider's topic in Operating Systems
James, you've got a problem, there... You see, the hard drive has this tiny little area, right on the first sectors, called the Master Boot Record (MBR). In this area, there's a tiny piece of software, called the boot loader. It's a low level program that sits between the BIOS and your operating system. When your computer boots up, it's up to the BIOS to make it work for the first few seconds and then, when it's time to load the operating system, the BIOS passes control to the boot loader. On Windows, the boot loader is that ugly black screen that allows you to chose if you want to boot Windows XP Home or Pro. Once you select which OS you want to boot, the boot loader calls the corresponding OS loader and off it goes. Windows' boot loader expects to find the boot.ini file somewhere in the C drive, just like you said (I'm not sure if it has to be on some specific hard drive sectors or not). So, if you get rid of the C partition, you'll get rid of boot.ini and the boot loader won't be able to present you the available options. And now comes the bad part: theoretically, you could try to copy boot.ini to partition I, use something like Partition Magic to wipe out partition C and expand partition I to occupy the space previously taken by partition C. Partition I would then become the only partition on your disk and would be renamed to C. This would possibly allow you to start booting windows XP pro, but only if the boot loader doesn't need boot.ini to be in some specific hard drive sectors. But I think you'd still have problems, because since XP Pro was set up on partition I, it would be looking for some stuff on I: but since there's no partition I anymore, the system would probably crash and stuff like that (not that it's not a normal thing for Windows to do but it would do it even more... ). So... I'd say that your best bet is to make backups of everything, wipe out the partitions on your disk, create a single primary partition and reinstall windows. If you have the time and patience, you could try that theory of copying boot.ini and if it works, you'd post the results here, 'cause I'm curious to see if it would work -
Do I see a "patents monopoly" game being born, here?

LOL :dance:That would be hilarious! Thomas, now that is one heck of a good idea! You'd become a millionaire, considering the millions M$ would have to pay you!

I just love Bill Gates, M$ and their strategies and ideologies... don't you? PS - cool, another Linux fan

Hi JTrey, and welcome to TCH! How are you setting up the redirection? I can't tell why that is happening but let me see how you've set it up and perhaps I (or someone else here at the forums) can help. If not, you can always submit a help desk ticket (link to the help desk is at the top of the forum pages) and the techs will have it solved for you in a minute As for the difference between temporary and permanent redirects, here's the explanation, straight from cpanel's documentation: Temporary - This tells Internet traffic agents (browsers, search engines, etc.) that this is only a temporary redirection, and that they should return to this initial location again in the future for the same page. Permanent - This tells the Internet traffic agents to go to the redirection address in the future, as the old address will never be used again. You can access the cpanel documentation via the link in your cpanel or directly using an URL such as this one: http://******:2082/docs/cpanel/index.html Once again, welcome to TCH and your new family.

And I just gave up on that AMD 64. It sure was a great deal but I guess I was letting myself go with the emotion. I don't really need a laptop computer. Well, it would be really useful but not useful enough for me to spend 1500 Euros to buy it. I prefer to keep my money and buy a better one when I really need it
