I would like to automatically update my homepage with a list of bookmarks that I find while I surf the net. It should be as simple as clicking a button on my browser such as "Link This!" whenever I find a webpage I like. And a window like this appears for me to add information:



Categories can be added and customized.

The link that is added will be automatically reflected on a webpage.

Does anyone know how this is accomplished? Or what should I google for more information? Is this PHP?

Many thanx for any help! :)

Edit: Problem solved! Thank you!

iFrames.

What do you think? Last time I remember hearing about them, they were supported only by IE, and were mostly pretty unstable. A quick google around tells me that they seem to be supported by most browsers now. Is that true?

What are your experiences? Are they stable, or do they fall apart at the slightest hint of incompatability? Are there any real features/benefits to using them over other methods? Do they manage to get over the disadvantages of frames, as they were intended to do, or do they create a whole new host of problems?

Personally, I'm probably going to stick to a nifty combination of CSS and SSI, but I'd still like to know whether iFrames are a viable option.

I'm having a problem rendering tables in Safari. Check out the following site. In every browser I've tested besides Safari, the red blocks are correctly span about 75% of the table height and the "a" box is only at the very bottom (as you can clearly see it should be from the page source.) In safari, however, the red blocks get cut off right between the 9:00 and 9:30 division, and the "a" box takes up 50% of the table height. It seems like everything is forced into being the same height (rowspan) as the time boxes on the very left of the rows.

Any thoughts? Thanks very much guys.

Hello all. I come to you with yet another question on CSS. I recently read this article about creating tabbed menus with CSS. I'm trying it out, and everything seems to work ok except for the actual tab part. It says in the article/tutorial to use an image for the rounded corners of the tab. I created the images, placed them in the CSS exactly as shown in the article, but they're not showing up on my browser. The link to the layout is here.


This is the CSS used for the tab menu:

#navigation a
{
color: #000;
background: #FB7509 url("images/left-tab.gif") left top no-repeat;
text-decoration: none;
padding-left: 10px
}

#navigation a span
{
background: url("images/right-tab.gif") right top no-repeat;
padding-right: 10px
}

#navigation a, #navigation a span
{
display: block;
float: left
}

/* Commented backslash hack hides rule from IE5-Mac \*/
#navigation a, #navigation a span
{
float: none
}
/* End IE5-Mac hack */

#navigation a:hover
{
color: #fff;
background: #184A82 url("images/left_tab_hover.gif") left top no-repeat;
text-decoration: none;
padding-left: 10px
}

#navigation a:hover span
{
background: url("images/right_tab_hover.gif") right top no-repeat;
padding-right: 10px
}

#navigation
{
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0
}

#navigation li
{
float: left;
display: block;
margin: 0;
padding: 0
}

This is the HTML (without the spaces of course):

< ul id="navigation" >
< li >< a href="index.html" >< span >Home< /span >< /a >< /li >
< li >< a href="/" >< span >Services< /span >< /a >< /li >
< li >< a href="/" >< span >Take a tour< /span >< /a >< /li >
< li >< a href="/" >< span >About us< /span >< /a >< /li >
< li >< a href="/" >< span >Contact us< /span >< /a >< /li >
< /ul >


It's just a dummy layout I'm using to test this out. Would someone mind taking a look? I'm kind of stumped here. Thanks to anyone who feels like helping me out!

I'm working on a project for dws scudder and they have favicon showing in FF 1.5 (yes.. IE is flakey with them)

Here's the weird thing: I just poured over tons of code in html, jhtml, css and js and not once have I found an actual call for a favicon.

What's even more strange is when I loaded the css and js in the browser directly from the site to look at, the favicon showed up.

So, I did some digging and saw that CNN has the same thing going on. I go to CNN.com, look at the code and related items and no where in there is favicon called.

Digging further, I find that according to Wikipedia:

-------------- paste --------------

Note: A file called favicon.ico and located in the document root directory will also be found by some browsers which do not process the link elements, even if it is not linked from anywhere on your site.

-------------- end --------------

So.. if this is the case, does this work for all pages (i.e. the loading of css and js?) or only html formed content that's delivered?

Anyone have a word on this? And should the reliance of favicon.ico in the directory or some other method be allowed in place of an actual call in the ?

I have mp3s from my album in a folder on the site. Then I have downloads.php?id=#, which reads the details of the id from the database and constructs the url of the file then sends that to the browser. It's definitely getting the right file...

Is it ok to use header location: to give out the file to the browser for a media file? I'm getting the code instead of the binary file when I try to download.

This was not happening on my WAMP dev server and is definitely happening on my LAMP production server. I'm wondering if it's a php thing or a server environment thing?

It's php 4.3.10, btw.

Any suggestions? My site is so close to being done!

Thanks!

I recently updated FF 1.5 with all the latest security updates.

Since that time, I've lost the scrollbar. I've looked through all possible settings, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the browser three times. I even tried going back to 1.07, but I could never get the browser to open.

Another problem is a hanging, partial dropdown box, which won't go away no matter what I try.



Any suggestions on how to fix either of these issues?

Hi I am using a PC and MSN Messenger. Whenever I try to send an e-mail from MSN Messenger or click MSN Today to go straight to the mail in my mailbox, it uses Internet Explorer. I already put Firefox as my default browser but it still does this. Is there a way to put Firefox as the default in MSN Messenger too?

I tried like heck to solve this one, so maybe you all can help.

I'm trying to download a video stream from a website. I saved the entire webpage the video opened on, but the video was an asx, meaning it's a playlist that targets another video.

Opening the asx in a text editor gets me an mms link that leads to the WMV file, but I have no idea how to download it. When I open it in a browser, it acts like the asx file; it opens Windows Media Player and opens the movie but I have no way to actually save it.

I'm trying to download the actual WMV file to my hard drive, so I could edit the video on my computer, upload it to an FTP server, etc. Using Windows XP. More system specs if you need them.

Please help!
Sean

Up until the last couple of weeks, I've been able to log into Livejournal perfectly fine with either my Mozilla (1.7) or Firefox (1.0.7) (even after they changed to using subdomains). However, since aobut the 25th of January, I have been unable to login with either browser. Confusingly enough, it works when I log in with Internet Explorer. Any tips? I've checked and re-checked privacy settings, making sure my cookies were allowed and that javascript was enabled...

Assuming you're not all sick of me yet, I have another question.
I have 2 web pages. On the main page there are links that are binded to a database. Clicking on those links will open up another window that has more details about that particular topic. On that detail page I want to add a button that will close that detail window, then have the main page WINDOW go to a page that only shows courses available on that topic. That information would be accessed via a SQL Query.

So for example (because I'm sure this is very confusing,) on the main page you click on a link to learn more about the Manager Training course. A window comes up showing all the information about the Manager training course. You then click on a button. That detail window closes, and the main page goes to another page that only shows all the Managers Training Courses. My main question is how I can tell the main page window to go to this other page and pass the information needed so that it can query the database and bind the correct information to it. I know this is very easy if everything is in the same browser window, but I don't know how you do it with multiple windows. Thanks.

I'm sorry if this is obvious but I'm not experienced at this sort of thing. I use Netscape 7.2 on a Mac running Mac Ox X 10.4.4. I am interested in moving to Sea Monkey as I prefer the suite browser and email client package. However, reading through the Sea Monkey info, I came across this:

> Do not share a profile with Netscape 6 or 7. Sharing profiles
> between different versions of Mozilla can lead to profile
> corruption
>
> Note even if you uninstall a previous copy of Mozilla or Netscape,
> the old profile will still be there until you remove its folder.
> Be sure to create a fresh profile when you install a new version
> of Mozilla.

Does this mean that if I do that, all my email client folders, contents and filters will not appear in the Sea Monkey email client? if so, is there anyway to correct that?

Man, the concept of mouseover drop down menus written in CSS is GREAT (b/c it, in theory, is cross-browser compatible). I have this one up and it works perfectly in IE (which is weird) but in FF, you mouse over and if you drag down one of the longer menus (try, like, "company" to see what I mean) right when it comes to the next div, it will make the menu disappear (I don't know if I explained it properly: you mouse over, the menu drops down, you try to move your mouse down to one of the lower links and suddenly the menu disappears for no reason).
So, my questions: anyone know why it's doing this? aaaaand how to fix it? I already have the div I think it's conflicting with z-indexed to -1, btw.
See mah poor menu here (Look in FF to see the issue, obviously lol)
