Tracy, note that the 'alt' attribute shouldn't be used for the little pop-up that appears when the mouse hovers above the image. And note it's not a tag, it's an attribute (IMHO, sloppy use of terminology results in sloppy understanding, which in turn produces sloppy code). For that effect, the 'tittle' attribute should be used instead. Internet Explorer is the only browser (:sigh: ) that shows a tooltip for the alt attribute. All other browsers follow W3C recommendations and only show a tooltip if you use the 'title' attribute. If you use the 'title' attribute instead of the 'alt' attribute, IE will still show the tooltip but all the other browsers too. Everyone's happy The 'alt' attribute is only meant for when the image cannot be loaded - the alternative text will be shown instead - or for being read by a non-visual browser, not for showing tooltips. If you use the 'alt' attribute for the tooltip, people using a browser other than IE will not see it and will not know what the image means. This is specially serious when the image is part of your site navigation menus. If people don't know how to navigate your site, they will leave.

Great! Welcome to the family, then!

Hi c0rtex. Yes, outgoing sockets are allowed but I don't know to which ports. Port 80 works but I'm not sure about other ones. I don't think there are any blocked outgoing ports but if you need to be absolutely sure, wait for someone else to answer this one. Oh, and I hope you'll join our family. I think you'll like it here

Well thought. I didn't remember that possibility. Anyway, I think that the idea Jim gave you is the best choice. Hope it works for you

You can also try downloading a recent build. Go to texturizer.net's Firebird page and download a nightly build to give it a try: http://texturizer.net/firebird/

I don't think you can do that, since having two menus in the same page would mean to have the same variables and elements in the same page. That would mess up the browser.

I'm almost sure that google won't follow links in a Flash navigation menu. Still, it just occured to me that you could place empty links (<a href="page.html"></a>) somewhere in the body of your page and google will probably follow them. Or make a link with just a small dot (<a href="page.html">.</a>) and make it's font really small and the same color as the background. That way the link is there and Google will follow it but your visitors will not see it.

Hi schester. Please submit a help desk ticket specifying which server you are on and describing the problem. This looks like something an admin should take a look at. If the admin comes to the conclusion it's nothing wrong with on server end, post another message here and we'll try to figure out what's wrong

Glad it worked!

Hi roadmap. HotScripts usually has nice scripts that you can customize to your liking. Try here: www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Polls_and_Voting/index.html

Great! Let us know how it goes

The server I tried this on was server 6.

I knew I had seen it somewhere! www.opencube.com/effect_stm.html

Well, I just tried it on my personal account and it worked, so could one of you guys submit a help desk ticket so one of the admins can take a look at it? Thanks As for the '----' comments, unfortunately that's just the way the mysqldump tool works Perhaps you want to add this snippet to your backup script, right after the passthru("mysqldump......."); line: >//************************ // Replace the '---' comments from the beginning of each line with the phpMyAdmin-compatible '###' $lines = file($savepath/$dbname.sql); $newlines = preg_replace("#^-+(.+?)#", "## \\1", $lines); $count = count($lines); $fd = fopen($savepath/#dbname.sql, "w"); for($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) { fwrite($fd, $newlines[$i]); } fclose($fd); //************************ This will open the newly created .sql file and replace every line starting with one or more '-', with the same line but starting only with '##'. I tried it with a simple file here on my computer and it worked. Hope this helps

OK, I got it, you want it to have "sub-sub-menus", right? Well, unfortunately, with this script, that doesn't seem to be possible I just tried it with something like this: ><div id="masterdiv"> <div class="menutitle" onclick="SwitchMenu('sub3')">Help Forum</div> <span class="submenu" id="sub3"> <div class="menutitle" onclick="SwitchMenu('sub9')">Microsoft</div> <span class="submenu" id="sub9"> - <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/">Win 95/98</a><br> - <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/WindowsMe/">Win ME</a><br> - <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/">Win XP</a><br> </span> - <a href="page1.html">page1</a><br> - <a href="page2.html">page2</a><br> </span> </div> </div> but it didn't work I know I've seen a menu script that does this but I can't remember where... I'll take a look around and let you know if I find anything. Oh, and thanks for the compliments. I guess I just like to help others on this kind of things

I'm not sure about the "text-align:CENTER;" stuff. It could be something that CSB adds automatically but since I have never used CSB, I can't tell for sure. I only looked at the source code of the page you provided the link for and it was there. The first one is right on line 11 of the source code, just after the <body> tag. As for your other question, yes, they can. The ideia is that each line such as ><div class="menutitle" onclick="SwitchMenu('sub1')">Site Menu</div> is a main menu and, inside the following<span class="submenu" id="sub1">.....</span> tags, each link is a sub-menu. The code for what you want to do should be something like this: Oh, and I'm studying computer engineering. That class was about networking but the teacher was talking about basic stuff I already knew, so I opened up the TCH forums and see if someone needed my help

Hi Anacrusis. Yes, that error message means you'll have to use another ftp program, since ncftpput is not available. What do you want that cron job to do? Save the file into your account space? Perhaps you can just write it to a directory instead of uploading it... If that suits you, I can give you a hand at setting it up.

No problem. Glad I could help

Thomas, two errors on the page you linked: - 1 (not related to the problem we're discussing): CSS styles are written in lowercase, so the first two <div> tags you have on your page should read ><div style="text-align: center;"> instead of ><div style="text-align:CENTER; "> - 2: The menus must be wrapped in a <div> tag with id="masterdiv", like this: Hope this does the trick. Right now I can't try it out (I'm in the middle of a class ) but I think it will do it. EDIT: The programmer in me couldn't resist it I tried it and it works

Hi David. Those are the search engine statistics. They show you which search engine spiders have visited your site and how many times. In your case, fo example, the first line tells you that Google has already visited your site 39 times. It also shows you some other stuff, like WGet, which is not a search engine spider but a UNIX tool used to retrieve files from web servers. Stuff for the Search Engine Optimization people to play with

Thomas, I'd say the problem is that you're not passing the right ID to the SwitchMenu() function. You have to make sure that both the name being passed to that function and the id inside the <span> tag that follows are set and are equal.

OK guys, since my time has not been enough to work on the JS tracking script, I decided to give the AWStats "misc." section another try. I just made a directory named "js" on my /public_html directory and placed the awstats_misc_tracker.js file inside. Can't remember where I got the file from. I believe someone else poted it before. Then, on my main page, I added this code to the end of the HTML, right before the </body> tag: ><script language="javascript" src="/js/awstats_misc_tracker.js"> The next day, when awstats had already updated the statistics, I went to my CPanel, clicked the AWStats link, navigated down to the "misc." section and there it was! I had some percentages on the table. I must confess that it's rather disapointing, since the information is not that valuable... but it's better than nothing, I guess. Let me know if it works for you.

Thomas, I can't tell what's wrong without looking at the code, so could you please paste it here, so I can take a look? Not all of it, just lines 75 to 85. Thanks.

Hi Dale. I moved your post here from the How To Get Quick Help On Your Scripts post on the "How to install scripts" forum since it was more a new question instead of a reply to that topic. As to your question, I will not give you the fish, I will give you a fishing rod and teach you to fish: use the search feature on the forums This topic has been covered many times, so if you search for "formmail", you'll get a lot of results to look at On that search results page, the first one is a pretty good PHP script made by Jack (surefire) and quite easy to use. Give it a try. You can also take a look at some of the other topics to see if they're of any use to you. If you still can't do it by yourself, just leave a message here and I'll give you a hand

Hi Thomas. I downloaded the script you mentioned (hope I got the right one) and took a look at how to configure it. It's quite simple. To do what you want, you just change the code you already have to look like the one below (changes are in bold): Hope this helps. If you need me to explain it better, just ask
