Hey,

I've been working on this site for most of the morning. I got a job deconstructing a table based layout into full CSS. After a few setbacks (I couldn't seem to get the floats to display properly in all browsers -- which is a major stipulation) I decided on using absolute positioning.

Well, now I got the pages displaying the same in all browsers -- except a medium sized glitch -- I can't figure out how to get all three (or two on the second template) to be the same length.

For example:

On this page -- http://triplelproductions.com/designs/business/freeordination/index3.html -- The right and left columns are longer than the middle. I can't seem to get them to perfectly match eachother no materr what the amount of content is within any column. (The second template is here if you need to see -- http://triplelproductions.com/designs/business/freeordination/index4.html --) And the CSS is located here: http://triplelproductions.com/designs/business/freeordination/images/tlpcustom1.css

What I need to do is fix that so all my columns are the same length, no matter how much/little each column contains.

An alternative to this is using a background color to fill in the space that's left, but when I set the background color for my container it doesn't show.

I know that's an easy fix, but after staring at this code/site all morning, my eyes are burning and my brain is blocked. So if anyone can offer me any solutions (that does not include major code reworking) please do!

Thanks in advance guys, you'll be saving me major hours of frustration!!

IE/Netscape + Desktop Icons

Date: 10/17/05 (Computer Help) Keywords: browser

I just downloaded the new Netscape onto my laptop because I have a site that I want to stay logged into on three (I have IE and Firefox already) accounts, and I just open whichever browser to do what I need to do on whichever account. But, the new Netscape is logging me into the account that I'm logged into on IE. I can't get it to stay logged into my other account. Do they share cookies or something? Is there some way to fix this so I can stay logged into both accounts?

Also, my friend just got her computer worked on, and she said that when she got it back, all of her desktop icons (or all of her icons for that matter) were highlighted and underlined and she couldn't get it to go away. Anyone know how to fix this? =/

Thanks in advance! =)

Problems with Extensions

Date: 10/19/05 (Mozilla) Keywords: browser

My copy of Firefox has stopped responding to "install" links for extensions on sites like Mozilla Update and Mozdev. This is the second or third time this has happened to me, and previously my only recourse was to do a complete reinstall - which mean loosing a lot of my settings and my already downloaded extensions. Is there any way to fix this without such a dramatic recourse. Basically, when I click on the links, absolutely nothing happens. The status bar continues to read "done" and nothing else happens.

While I'm here I might as well ask something else...it used to be that when I started typing in a browser window when I wasn't in a text box Firefox would automatically start a page search. Now I have to always press ctrl+F first. Is there any way to make it behave in the old way again?

Thanks

BTW, I'm using Firefox 1.0.7 on a Windows XP machine.

mozilla to firefox...

Date: 10/22/05 (Mozilla) Keywords: browser, asp, google

i've been a mozilla user for a while now. (before that i used netscape. (and of course before that i used ie.))
i thorougly enjoy the tabbed browsing aspect of the browser.

anyway, i'm trying to make the switch over to firefox, because support for mozilla is waning.

besides not having the composer, my main complaint with mozilla is that i cannot figure out how to make it load new links on tabs in the background. i have it set to load links on new tabs in the same window... but it makes the new page over top of what i'm doing. i want it to open a tab in the background.
i'm pretty sure it's not something having to do with the options because i have checked and double checked that, but it is possible i am missing something. if it is there, where is it?
if it isn't something in the options, is it something i can change some other way?

oh, and another complaint is that i can't search google just by entering stuff in the address bar and moving down to the search google option. but i've been trying to train myself to use the google search field instead, but i just don't like it.
is there any way i can set the address bar to do google searches like mozilla does?

touchpad scroll revisited

Date: 10/22/05 (Mozilla) Keywords: browser, html

http://www.livejournal.com/community/mozilla/329996.html

I need to revisit this issue, that is, firefox/mozilla and the scroll function on my touchpad not working. Like everyone else with this problem, I've tried the about:config, I've downloaded the updated driver for the touchpad, played with the settings on the "mouse" and the touchpad, all to no avail. The function works in absolutely every other program and browser on my computer (including Opera), but I get the little "scroll bar" icon and it refuses to move in firefox, save for once in a great while if I put the cursor directly on the page's scroll bar...

Any other suggestions?

Server-side scripts

Date: 10/24/05 (Web Development) Keywords: php, browser, html, java, web

I want to make server-side scripts, but I have never done anything like this. So, I know very little about this subject.

I need advice on how to get started. More specifically, I need someone to show me how to make a simple website. And then, I think I can do the rest... I believe I can learn PHP by myself. I already know HTML, JavaScript, C, and some other languages. All I need is someone to show me how to start.

This is what I need:

I would like someone to show me step-by-step how to create a simple website which would have three things on it:

1. some text

2. an input textbox

3. a submit button

This website should do the following: When people visit the website and enter some text and click on submit, the browser should send the text to the server. The server then should save the information in a simple text file, and next time when someone clicks on the refresh button, this text should appear on the website at the top of the page. That's all.

I would like someone to assist me, to tell me how to create a website like this from scratch from start to finish.

I don't want to install PHP on my computer. I want to open an account at a remote server and learn how to make this simple website.

I need advice. Where should I open the account? What kind of language should I use? Should I learn Perl or PHP? Can I write the program in C? So, I have a lot of questions. Please help!

div question

Date: 10/26/05 (HTML Help) Keywords: browser, css

I'm working on a site for a multimedia arts & science course.

I work in IE 6.0, but my professor will be checking the design in Safari. The project isn't due until Friday... and I asked him about it, and he said "don't worry about it" (aka, "I don't know"- my professor isn't the brightest crayon in the box)... so even though I'm not going to get points off for this... I just want to know for my own sake... it's DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!!

In IE the container div goes all the way to the bottom of the page... however, in Safari there is a gap between the bottom of the div and the page. Is there any way to get rid of this gap in all browsers?

Here's an example of the page I'm talking about: here, and this is the style sheet that controls it.

Thanks!! [crossposted in css_forum]

help :(

Date: 10/26/05 (Javascript Community) Keywords: browser, html, java

Hello, I'm new to Javascript and I have an assignment for class in which I'm having trouble checking to see if textboxes are blank and to alert to user with window.alert to tell them to enter information, check to see if certain text boxes are numeric from a certain number range, and to validate the correct format.

1. Create 2 standard HTML files called assignment5.htm and process.htm. The files should do the following:
a. assignment5.htm
i. Should be a form that’s action is set to “process.htm”, method is set to “GET”, with the following named textboxes formatted using a table:
1. FIRST_NAME
2. LAST_NAME
3. AGE
4. PHONE
ii. The ONSUBMIT event handler for the form should call a function named ValidateForm(). ValidateForm() should do the following:
1. Check to ensure FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, AGE, and PHONE are not blank.
2. If any of these textboxes are left blank, display an error message using the alert() function with the name of the item left blank and set focus to that text box using the focus() method of the text box left blank.
3. Ensure that the AGE text box contains a number between 1 and 150. If the age is not this value, display a message box with describing that an invalid number was entered for age and set focus to this text box.
4. Use the following regular expression to validate the PHONE text box. If it returns false, display a message box detailing that the phone number is invalid and must be in the format (xxx) xxx-xxxx.

/^$?(\d{3})$?[\.\-\/ ]?(\d{3})[\.\-\/ ]?(\d{4})$/

5. If all these conditions pass, return true and allow the form to go to process.htm.
b. process.htm
i. This page receives the information from the first page via the Querystring (URL). You will pull the information out of the document.location.search property and write the following to the browser:

Hello . You are years old. Your telephone number is .

Note: Everything in <> is from the assignment5.htm page.

c. HINT
i. Use the split(“&”) method off of the document.location.search string in order to break the search string into an array that has each of the name/value pairs in it.
ii. You can then use the split(“=”) method on each of the elements returned from above to get at the name/value (element 0 = name, element 1 = value).
