An excellent article describing Blackberry architecture and two application models (The browser-based model or Custom Java Application). The browser-based model allows developers to focus on developing back-end content in a standard markup language, such as the Wireless Markup Language (WML) or the compact Hypertext Markup Language (cHTML). Using existing browsers' client capabilities frees the developer [...]

What are the html tags to put text directly next to a picture like a news paper article? As in have them side by side rather than place the pic up top and then the text on the bottom. Are there any similar tags that make the text go around the picture? As in have the text box in the picture? You can do it on Word. I need the html to do it on webpages.

Thanks for the help in advance

Thanks for all your comments and suggestions when I asked for recommendations for blog software.

So I installed WordPress 1.5.1 yesterday and today I've been trying to install MicroWiki. I'm stumped by the EzStatic install/config and/or the MicroWiki install/config. I've followed the instructions but I just can't get in to MicroWiki.

Here are the links: [homepage for the WP blog] [where I'd expect to find the wiki]

I've installed EzStatic as per the instructions: ezstatic.php resides in ~blog/wp-content/plugins ("blog" isn't really it's a user - I'm just using that as shorthand for the top-level directory of the WP installation). I haven't messed around with the Advanced Configuration section as I don't really know PHP.

"If EzStatic is activated on your server, but your static content doesn't appear, it could be the result of several issues: First, be doubly sure that EzStatic is activated on your WordPress Plugins tab. It doesn't work if it's not turned on." I've been installing a few plugins today, but I've double checked that EzStatic is active.

"Second, view the source of a page that should contain EzStatic content. If EzStatic is truly active, then somewhere in the HTML source you should see a message. Search the source for "EzStatic"." This is where it gets confusing ... http://www.henman.name/blog/wp-content/wiki/index.php is empty, and yet I can see the source PHP file OK. I can also browse to the .GIF and .TXT files in that same directory.

So what's up with the Wiki's PHP file? Or is it EzSetup? Or something else??

p.s. The blog only contains a couple of dummy entries (copied from my LJ) so I can trash it if I absolutely have to ... although I hope/suspect that won't be necessary.

I was wondering if anyone in this community knows how to make a form for collecting email. I need something for a web site that has a text box for visitors to enter their email address to receive a news letter. I can do the html part, but I don't know how to collect the data.

Thanks!

I just tried setting up my first website. I'm not a professional, but I am trying to teach myself about web development. I set up this website by creating .htm docutments in Dreamweaver. I wrote out all the code myself and didnt really use any of Dreamweaver's features.

So far I've only been able to test it in IE6 and AOL (using IE6). In both, I recieve error messages telling me that AOL or IE6 must close due to an error. I predefined the window size using a javascript, but in AOL the size comes up incorrectly. With or without this resizing script, the error messages still occur, and AOL/IE6 needs to close. Here is the site. (BTW, this site is only meant for family and friends...these bags are not for sale to the general public.)

I've been researching this, and read that IE6 can have some doctype issues. The doctype on all of my pages is this: !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN", and shouldnt cause any problems.

What is the best solution? I ljcut my CSS code below. Is the syntax wrong, or not strict enough, so that it's causing errors? If I want my page to be universally viewed, should I not be using CSS? I had heard that using frames is outdated, and I really like the control CSS gives me over everything on the page.

Thanks for any and all help!!! It will be very much appreciated! (I apologize for any x-posting.)


All of the below code is formatted correctly on the actual page. The syntax is correct, and the entire website works correctly when I test it in Internet Explorer through Dreamweaver.

I have a slippery grasp on the concept of tables.

http://www.rit.edu/~smk4357/temp/leftframe.html
That is my design. The source shows that I attempted to split the various sections using tables.

http://www.rit.edu/~smk4357/temp/example.jpg
That is what I want to do with the design (scaled down).

What I can't figure out:
1. How to get text on top of the leftframe_03.jpg image.
2. How to turn the entire middle section into a cell that will contain all of the site's content. And be able to stick as much content in there as I want, meaning the site would have a scrollbar and whatnot.

http://www.rit.edu/~smk4357/temp/
Anyone is welcome to fool around with the files if they would like to help me out!

I've really tried, but for whatever reason I am just too quick to get frustrated with this design. So thank you!

Does anyone know if there's a simple way I can set a no-frames page to only show scrollbars when needed? I have an image on my 1024x768 page that bleeds off a 800x600 page, and would prefer not to have scroll bars showing for those people viewing with a smaller display. I'm using Dreamweaver MX 2004 but have a basic knowledge of HTML. It's probably something really simple right?

I'm writing a lib to produce RSS/Atom feeds for a site.

I have the character “ in some stories.

I have done htmlspecialchars($title), however, this still produces a character that feedvalidator.com don't like in the XML.

How should I correctly trap/encode this (and other similar) characters?

I just started using Thunderbird as an RSS reader and I'm noticing strange behavior with my feed. If I load up http://www.perturb.org/rss.php in thunderbird the entries it displays are links to web pages. When I view one of those feeds it shows that entry as it is embeded on the webpage. If I look at one of the entries from http://www.lessig.org/blog/index.xml the entry shows the raw text that's in the RSS feed no HTML requests made.

Considering the first feed is from my blog, how do I make Thunderbird show the raw content, instead of the HTML. It's exported correctly. Bloglines sees the content just fine. Is there a Thunderbird setting I'm missing?
