Hello Andy. I will look into those things. But why would the site work fine in browsers OTHER than IE? For example, it works in Firefox.

I'll give it a try. Thanks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They responded back to me that both www. and without "www." work but they didn't tell me what they did. The only difference that I noticed is that the IE error message (exclamation point in lower left corner of browser) is gone but the navigation menu doesn't work. I don't think this is a tech support issue as much as a coding problem. Any ideas?

I'll give it a try. Thanks.

I just noticed that the site I am slowly building doesn't work in Internet Explorer if the "www." is not included as part of the URL. www.fsboiowa.com works fine but fsboiowa.com shows errors in Internet Explorer but NOT in Firefox. fsboiowa.com doesn't display the dynamic menu items......... any idea what might need to be done to correct this?

How different is this from Live View that Dick mentioned earlier?

Bruce, was it you that mentioned using something called "Thunderbird" to check your email? What is that?

In cpanel, what is the difference between Webmail and the "Default Address" option? Also, is one less likely to receive spam? thanks.

But will Dreamweaver allow you to edit in WYSIWYG or will it be a text file too?

The odd thing about it is when I choose to open the .php file with "OPEN WITH" Frontpage 2002 program association it does open Frontpage 2002 but also opens Notepad. So it opens Frontpage 2002 and a text editor. hmmmmmmm Does Dreamweaver MX allow you to edit php code wysiwyg?

I have MS Frontpage 2002 and I am having someone design a website for me and he is using .php .... which I know practically nothing about. When I try to open one of the .php files in Frontpage 2002 the file always opens in a separate text file. Can the .php file be edited with a wysiwyg editor like Frontpage 2002? Thank you.

Makes complete sense...even to me!!! Thanks again Don!

any idea what I should use to open a database file that is combination of text and photos?

When you double-click the zipped file, doesn't it try to unzip or associate with a program? Also, can an unzipped database be "opened"? Does it have anything that is 'viewable'? For example, if you opened your forum database would all of the posts be viewable? thanks.

I unzipped the .gz file but it asked me what the 'full name of the file' to be extracted is....I think it is looking for an extension. Any idea what they need? ...as you can see I am very unfamiliar with mySQL databases.

I used cpanel to backup my database... The "General Account Information" on the cpanel homepage says: SQL Disk usage 1.48 Megabytes But when I backed up my only MySQL Database the zipped (.gz) size was only 87 kb. I backed it up twice and it was the same size each time. It didn't compress it that much did it? Have I done something incorrectly?

That is very kind offer Joaquin but I was able to find someone to assist me last week. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the very interesting information. Regarding using checkdnsrr vs. getmxrr http://us3.php.net defines: getmxrr -- Get MX records corresponding to a given Internet host name checkdnsrr -- Check DNS records corresponding to a given Internet host name or IP address What advantages would getmxrr have over checkdnsrr? Does checkdnsrr do an additonal step that isn't needed if all I want to do it verify an MX record? thanks.

Bruce, you're everywhere this morning!!! flying from forum to forum!!! If you are correct about an MX record being a domain for the mail exchange, can/do name servers that handle MX records go down too?

So if someone tries to register with the email name@yahoo.com and yahoo is down at the time, will checkdnsrr see that as yahoo not having MX record? I'm must not completely understanding how a domain is checked to see if it has a MX record.... Thank you.

What does Don mean by "Just download the home backup and everything below, "? I see the cpanel backup option for "Download a home directory Backup" but I'm not sure what "everything below" is? How does "Download a home directory Backup" differ from "Full Backups"? Is "Full Backups" a combination of the Home Directory Backup and the mySQL Database backup? thanks!

So, as Don mentioned, regardless of editor (whether it is Dreamweaver or PHP Designer 2005) I would still need to install php and Apache Web Server on my computer, right? Thank you.

Is there an editor that you would recommend that ALSO interprets php includes? thanks.

Well thank you very much. I just happend to download Firefox about a week ago and this sounds like another great use for it. I know I can't make heads or tails from the IE error message details.

I have no idea what kind of errors they are...IE just shows an exclamation point in the bottom left part of the screen.

I am trying to develop a website and I'm getting several Internet Explorer errors. Is it possible to diagnose the problem and suggest a fix without giving someone full access to my site? The IE error messages show the error line, charcter, code.... Is that enough for them to go on if they can "view source". thanks.
