Hi Dave! JavaScript would work, just as Jim suggested. Still, I'd go for PHP, because not everyone has JavaScript enabled on their browsers, so with PHP you have the guarantee that the random stylesheet is selected, because PHP runs on the server and is not dependant on any user preferences. Here's a little example (not valid HTML code and I didn't test it, it's just for you to get the picture): ><html> <head> <title>Your page title</title> <?php $date = getdate(); // this mktime will return a UNIX timestamp for December 21 of the current year if ($date >= mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 21)) $css = 'winter.css'; // this mktime will return a UNIX timestamp for September 21 of the current year else if ($date >= mktime(0, 0, 0, 9, 21)) $css = 'autumn.css'; // this mktime will return a UNIX timestamp for June 21 of the current year else if ($date >= mktime(0, 0, 0, 6, 21)) $css = 'summer.css'; // this mktime will return a UNIX timestamp for March 21 of the current year else if ($date >= mktime(0, 0, 0, 3, 21)) $css = 'spring.css'; ?> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $css; ?>" /> </head> <body> blablablabla blablablabla </body> </html> Adjust the mktime() dates to the correct ones. I never know when seasons begin

Yep, it's right there on all servers Check here for more information you might want to know: http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/help/info.php

Jim, that's just the way IE works. It automatically converts all "strange" characters present in an URL to their urlencoded form. I don't know why it works that way or if it's a good thing or a bad thing (personaly, I consider it annoying but sometimes it can come in handy) but I think it's the only browser I know that does it.

Are you still having this problem? I can get to the site just fine, right now.
-
silica, I can't say if this works, it just popped into my mind and I never tried it but try using '%40' instead of '@' in the username, which is the urlencoded character code for '@', like so: ftp://joe%40abc.com@abc.com

Hi Serena-chan. Are you uploading the files to the correct directory? You need to put them under /public_html By the way, I went to your website (the one in the "WWW" link on the bottom of your post) and the problem I see is not a missing index.html but a "509 Bandwidth Limit Exceeded" error.

DarqFlare, it loaded fine on my browser too: Linux, Mozilla Firebird 0.7. Let me just make a small comment: On the applet page, you say that people can get mIRC, which is a "a free IRC client". mIRC isn't free, it's shareware http://mirc.com/register.html

Silica, drop the 'ftp' in the URL: ftp://jdoe:dog@**** It should work, that way.

Hi Thomas. PHP-Nuke is a "Content Management System" (CMS for short). CMS's are software that allows you to control almost every detail of your website through an administration panel. The main use for this is updating news on your website but usually CMS's have a plugin system that allows you to develop (or use pre-built) plugins to add functionality, such as chat boxes, discussion forums, voting polls, etc, etc. PHP-Nuke's initial objective was the management of news items but soon it eveolved and became a very complex (too complex, actually, IMHO) CMS, with plugins for tons of other functionalities. The website is: http://www.phpnuke.org And here's a FAQ that may answer some of your questions: http://www.phpnuke.org/modules.php?name=FA...ke+General+Info Hope it helps

I'm from the westernmost point of Europe: Almada, in Portugal

Jim, I'd suggest you don't put anything at all. Every browser has a "back" button, so why waste your visitors' bandwidth and your account space with something everyone already has?

Hi havoc. Well, there are some ways to accomplish this using CSS and JavaScript but since Internet Explorer does not support them, I'll suppose you don't want to use them. Another possible way would be to use an <iframe> tag. An iframe is basically a little box in your page inside which you load another HTML file. Check this website: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_iframe.asp

Hi Dennis. I just create my own upload scripts for each situation but you may prefer to use a pre-made script. Check this page and see if it has a script that fits your needs: www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/File_Manipulation/Upload_Systems/index.html Hope it helps

I use Bluefish, which is a bit like notepad (very very simple) but has syntax highlighting for a lot of programming languages http://bluefish.openoffice.nl PS - No, this has nothing to do with openoffice.org

Hi Jim. Yes, you can. Sendmail is a completely different program from Formmail and cgiemail and shouldn't be affected by this problem.

Hi mwapnits. When you activated anonymous FTP on your CPanel, have you checked the option "Allow anonymous uploads to ftp://ftp.******/incoming"? It must be turned on for anonymous users to be able to upload. Hope it helps

Hi shakes. This is a bit offtopic so I won't carry it on but I'll point you to some threads where this topic has been discussed http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/i...?showtopic=2832 http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/i...?showtopic=3807 http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/i...?showtopic=3802

I think that if their software has issues that bother their customers, they should release patches as soon as possible, not weekly nor monthly but as soon as they can. Of course security related problemas are far more serious but if their software has a bug that prevents their customers from using it like they intended to, it's also pretty serious.

"about:blank" because I always want to see different things every time I open my browser But if I had a home page set in my browser it would probably be either TCH's forums "View New Posts" link or slashdot.org

I'm sure you will come to the same conclusion we all did: Rock Sign And if for any reason the service doesn't fit your needs, you have 30 days to test it. If you don't want to keep it, you may ask to cancel your account and TCH will refund you. But I don't think you'll want to do that

Hi chief. Yes, you can still unzip your files. If you like the console approach, I suggest you get something like phpshell or myshell and do it from there. Here's the links: phpshell: www.gimpster.com/wiki/PhpShell MyShell: www.gimpster.com/wiki/MyShell CPanel's file manager also has the possibility to decompress files, so you might want to take a look at it too.

Well, there's something I didn't think about Turtle is right, you can just delete the alt attribute and the tooltip will go away. This is against the W3C standards, though. Every image should have an 'alt' attribute but if standards compliance isn't one of your goals, it seems the way to solve the problem. By the way, thanks for the tip about the multiple line title text, turtle! I didn't know about that one

Tracy, unfortunately there's no way to turn off or change the behavior of the pop ups in IE. At least not that I know of. Here's another good example of why browsers should stick to the standards and not try to implement other behaviors...

Looks great, Sam! Nice finding! Now if only they'd have a Linux version...

Hi Roy. What programming language are you using? I tried searching the web about your problem using PHP but I couldn't find anything relevant...
