My ICQ can't connect already for 3 days.
I tried to exit firewall and antivirus - doesn't help. I can't open www.icq.com or any other page from this server (ICQ2GO, icq help...) in my browser. I thought that ICQ server is down, but my friends can connect normally. I reinstalled ICQ twice (full uninstalation)/ Still no effect.

This question might require some coding skills why I posted it here. I listen to alot of music while browsing the web and find myself having to leave the browser constantly to change the volume. i know with foxytunes you can control it within the browser but that is just for the programs volume. For the xp volume you have to leave the browser(I have a terrible sound card so what I have to do) I found this program:http://glorysoft.omsk.ru/volumetray.html and it has made it alot easier for me but I still have to go to the taskbar to click it. Is there anyway I can embed that into firefox as a bookmark or toolbar? that would be perfect seeing i'd only have to click a button to raise the xp volume

any help would be greatly appreciated

*any other way, or programs to embed the xp volume control into firefox would also be appreciated...but just embedding that program would be perfect; either as a toolbar or bookmark but in the status bar preferably

Hi!

Some weeks ago, after I have installed Firefox 1.5 I experienced problems with phpMyAdmin of my webhoster. After login all I get is a blank screen but with the logo of my webhoster (see the screenshot HERE). I asked the support, but they did tell me they are using the Firefox 1.5 as well, but don't receive this problem at all and it must have something to do with my settings.

Okay, maybe... but today I tried the same with SeaMonkey 1.0 and I got the same result like with Firefox 1.5... and it IS a FRESH install! Although it works with IE and Opera I prefer using Firefox and I would like to use it also for phpMyAdmin.

What could be cause of this? Is it really my browser-settings or is it my webhoster's fault, although they say they use the same browser?

EDIT: I should mention that my local installation of phpMyAdmin (included in Xampp) works perfectly fine on all browsers.

the error i'm getting is either

i just don't get it. any ideas? TIA...

Hi all, I recently landed a new job. The people that work there use Eclipse. I have been playing around with it to try and get a feel for it before I start next week and I am running into a couple of problems. I was hoping one of you would not mind giving me some pointers.

I have:

Eclipse Version: 3.1.2
XAMPP very 2.1

I installed Eclipse into the XAMPP directory as instructed.

To my understanding XAMPP will run Apache, MySql, PHP and PERL when the computer starts as I think I set them up as services.

I wrote a little test program using a set of functions that I have been using for a while now. The test program includes a config file that has the full include list in it. For some reason none of my files are being included. I do a require instead of an include, it does not fail but the functions are still not available. I can see the files are the in Eclipse's browser so I am not sure why they are not being found.

There are buttons in Eclipse for starting and stopping XAMPP. These seem to have no effect on XAMPP at all.

Any clues suggestions would be helpful. I have looked on the net all day but have not found anything I can really seem to understand. I have read the help files for Eclipse but they only pertain to Eclipse itself and not the add ons.

cross posted*

Thanks

hey i was wondering if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction.

heres the deal. im doing a contact/feedback form for a client. i have done it all in dreamweaver mx, using the forms. i have all that set up and if you click submit youll notice it should pop your email browser open and mail the data in the form to the client. actually i have not even had anyone test on a pc (im on a mac), so i wonder if it works.

Hello all. I'm having some troubles with a formmail script and cannot get the help I need anywhere. I found this community and thought I'd give it a try. This is a script I have used several times before and have had no problems with it. For some reason, I cannot get it to work this time. I don't have a lot of knowledge about PHP, and this is a free script that I tried. I liked it because it worked, but now it's just frustrating me.


This is the HTML form I set up:

< form method="post" action="../php_uploads/comment.php">
Name: < input type="text" name="name" size="30" maxlength="30" />
Address: < input type="text" name="address" size="30" maxlength="30" />
City: < input type="text" name="city" size="20" maxlength="20" /> State: < input type="text" name="state" size="10" maxlength="10" />
Zip: < input type="text" name="zip" size="15" maxlength="15" />
Phone: < input type="text" name="phone" size="20" maxlength="20" />
Email: < input type="text" name="email" size="30" maxlength="30" />
Comments: < textarea name="comments" rows="5" cols="30">
< input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit Comments">
< input name="reset" type="reset" value="Clear Comments">

This is my formmail code:

$recipient = 'brandi @ wikedawsum.com';

My problem is that everytime I hit the submit button I get my $error_required message (which I bolded up there). I've tried rewriting the script and the form, but nothing seems to work. I'm running out of ideas and am starting to get frustrated. Maybe a new pair of eyes will help?

I apologize for the code being so long. I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide. I'm also open to suggestions on any other ways to do this more efficiently. I'm sure you guys know a lot more about this than I do. Thanks again!

I am using Sea Monkey 1.0 on Mac Os 10.4.4. I have found a problem (it might be two separate problems, but they are similar).

In the mail window, there is the option to search through a folder for keywords in the subject or sender. However, after using mail for a while, it won't let me type anything into that box unless I shut the mail window and reopen it.

In the browser window, there is a similar problem in the address bar. After a while, it won't let me type in a new address or select to copy an existing address unless I close and reopen the browser window. That can be a pain if you have multiple tabs open for places you are flipping between because you then have to set them all up again.

I guess I am really must be refering to only Ajax.

If you're a Windows or Linux user (the former especially), and you ever need to do a bit of surfing on a particularly shady website, and you want to protect your PC from any nasty spyware or other malicious code that might be present, the usual tactic is to rummage around for hardware, build a sacrificial system, install an operating system and applications, add it to your LAN, and get to the site in question.

Instead, try the VMware Browser Appliance. It's a self-contained copy of Firefox (running on Ubuntu Linux, but that's largely irrelevant -- Firefox is Firefox, from a user standpoint) that runs as "virtual machine" on your computer. When it runs, it runs inside its own window, not just on screen, but in memory, and the hard drive. It's completely boxed in: nothing you load can get to your other applications, or your hard drive, or onto your computer in any way other than inside that pre-defined box. It makes a great environment for testing website design, or testing a web application you're writing, or investigating a potential virus site, or anything else that you would be more comfortable not using your main PC for. You can configure it to either wipe itself completely clean every time you use it, or to retain the settings (bookmarks, cookies, etc) between uses.
