Its nice to know that CNET, a highly-recognized-computer web site, has ranked Firefox among its top ten products for the last ten years. The list was produced as part of CNET's tenth anniversary celebrations. Earlier this year, Firefox made CNET's list of the top ten downloads of the past decade. Products were selected based on the most wide-ranging acceptance.

On Firefox, CNET says: "Sure, Mozilla has been around for many years, but Firefox 1.0 brought the open-source browser into the mainstream. Some never thought Mozilla could make it as anything more than a geek badge of pride. The light, secure, and efficient Firefox is legitimately challenging Internet Explorer's stranglehold on Web browsing."


TOP TEN PRODUCTS

1. iPod (2001)
2. TiVo (1999)
3. Google (1996)
4. Napster (1999)
5. Firefox (2004)
6. PalmPilot (1996)
7. Motorola Startac (1996)
8. Apple iMac (1998)
9. Sony Digital Mavica MVC-HDS (1997)
10. The Sims (2000)

http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/sol/systems/views/laptop_reported_to_work.page1.html

has a handly HCL on notebooks that have been reported to play nice with Solaris X86 10

Might come in handy for some of you..

but.. anyone have any personal experience with this? While I am out of the Biz, I am serving as de facto IT guy for my fellow grad students in my Ph.D program. Our Uni, uses Solaris for all their UNIX servers (including the ever important app server that has SPSS,SAS,SATA, etc). I have been asked a few times for recommendations for systems (desktops and laptops) for a dual boot environment. I am recommending solaris to everyone, since it is what the servers out there use, and i don't want to be inundated with questions on the occasional odd syntax differences in solaris and other *nix flavors. (hell getting Political Science Students to learn the basics of one *nix variant is enough for me)

So anyone have personal experience with out of the box, unmodded desktops and laptops that play nice with Solaris 10 x86?

any help would be much appreciated

Hi everyone. I have an assignment for class and I'm having trouble finding a site on the net that uses a 'styled form'.

An example of a styled form would be one with altered text properties, etc, but I can't seem to remember or find one off hand. The assignment is to find a styled form and view its source code, make a new html page, then create a new form on the new page that leverages the styled form found on the existing web page. It's kind of wacky, but for starters I need to find a funky form that returns something interesting.

If anyone has any suggestions, that would be wonderful! Thanks -

Thanks for everyone's response yesterday about replacing that power supply. After some searching, I found that I have this power supply.

http://www.xoxide.com/35tuposu.html

It's 350 watts.

Just from looking at this page I would assume that I need to buy another ATX-Form power supply.

I think I am going to look for a 500W power supply so that my NVIDIA GE Force 6600 GT card will have enough juice.

Is this a good plan, or should I try another wattage?

Hi everyone. I'm sure you could help me.

The situation:
I have a page with php and html that list all db records with checkboxes and than (if delete button was pressed) delete the records that were checked by the user and write how many of it were deleted.

The task: I'd like the user to see the results of deletion on the same page, preferably on the same place where the list of records was at first. So perhaps I need somehow the old list of db records to be cleaned from the page and replaced with new selection (where the deleted record(s), surely won't be).

The problem: for the moment I'm completely lost. I didn't found any 'refresh' or similar functions in PHP. Presently I even do not know which direction to move.
May be some of you do?

Additional info: the page has the structure like

record
record
....
record



(N records were deleted - is printed after the delete button was hit and deletion is executed)

AND,
I'm coding on php very a little so don't laugh aloud.

Hello

I'm trying to write some data to a div with javascript,
It works fine when I write plain text but for some reason i can't seem to get a "table" tag to work in the same manner

If that doesn't make any sence just look at the example
Example: http://maps.funvill.com/test.php


Source:

<script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ function TableLine() { document.getElementById("PointNotes").innerHTML += "<tr><td>XXX</td><td>YYY</td></tr>"; } document.getElementById("PointNotes").innerHTML = "<table style='border:1px solid black;'>"; TableLine(); TableLine(); TableLine(); TableLine(); TableLine(); document.getElementById("PointNotes").innerHTML += "</table>"; //]]> </script>

Hi everyone! I've slowly been teaching myself php and mysql over the past few months, but it's slow going, and I tend to learn better from someone teaching me something than I do from a book. I finally got the bright idea today (after having been on LJ for how long? lol) to look for a php help community, and lo and behold, I find you! :D If anyone could help me, I'd be very appreciative.

Here's the situation: I'm trying to build forms that will gather the information provided, check to make sure that everything necessary is included, and either redirect to an error page or a success page as needed. The html form looks like this (obviously without the spaces):

< form action="add_entry.php" method="post">
Subject: < input type="text" name="subject" />
Text: < textarea rows=6 cols=60 name="text">< /textarea>
< input type ="submit" name="add_entry" value="Add Entry" />
< /form>

add_entry.php looks like this (again, without the spaces):


include('common.php');
if(isset($formname) && $formname == 'add_entry'){
if($subject != '' && $description != ''){
$dbh=mysql_connect ($host, $user, $pass) or die
('I cannot connect to the database because I do not like you' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ($database) or die('I could not find the database you are searching for');
$query = "INSERT INTO journal
SET dateadd = NOW(),
subject = '$subject',
message = '$description'";
mysql_query($query);
mysql_close($dbh);
$redirect = 'success.html';
}
else{
$redirect = 'error.html';
}
}
else{
$redirect = 'error.html';
}

< html>
< head>
< meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="1;url=< ?php echo $redirect ?>" />
< /head>
< /html>

My problem is that it never seems to go through the mysql query and always redirects to the error page. I know that the query is good--I've checked it through phpMyAdmin--so I'm thinking it has something to do with the isset.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :D

Dammit, I've read up on this and htaccess file settings seem to be about the easiest god damn thing - except that mine doesn't work. All I want is for forum_redirect.html to redirect to index.php. That would require this, right?

Redirect forum_redirect.html index.php

and that's it, right? Every time I do it I get an error 500 and my whole site shits the bed.

Suggestions?

Maybe one of you can help me.
I have This Image Map that I've created.

It's supposed to show up like This
I'm not sure why the text never shows up. (I'm using imageready)
This is kind of what I'm trying to acomplish


That shows a semi-transparent table above the image, NOT underneath it like I've got now.
I don't know how to make the imagemap image a background image also so that I can somehow create a transparent table on top of it.
I'm very good at html but when it comes to getting image to do what I'm wanting them to, I have a hell of a time.
If that doesn't make sense, let me know, I'll try to explain it again.

Two years ago a jury awarded little Eolas $500,000,000 in damages for patent infringement by Microsoft. Microsoft danced the usual dance, first appealing to a higher court and then exhorting web-standards organization W3C to join them in asking the US patent office for a reconsideration of Eolas patent.Yesterday, the patent office ruled the patent valid. Microsoft is at the end of their games. Now, they have to pay Eolas and alter IE to avoid the Eolas patent.

So, why is the 'duck posting this to the Mozilla community?

Well, let's just say that the patent is fairly wide-ranging. Eolas' patent covers technologies such as ActiveX, but equally covers Mozilla plug-ins, the HTML Embed and Object tags, embedded object pop-up controls, and XBL (Mozilla's binding language). Microsoft has a half-billion to pay-up, what does the Mozilla Foundation have? For sure not enough money!

Maybe Eolas will license the Mozilla Foundation the patent in some way shape or form? If they do not; might not that effect Mozilla's third licensing option: the GPL, thereby preventing any further distribution of Firefox? could the patent possibly be expanded to include Firefox Extensions, one of our few advantages over IE?

I'm not thinking on the possible troubles too much. Until something bad happens, nothing real has happened and for all I know the owner of Eolas is a firefox user and wouldn't dream of hurting us... stranger things have happened.

Qvacks.

A friend of mine recently gave me a site to "make work" and i found on my journey of debugging this document.writeIn code. I'm not very familer with it. From what i can gather it is supposed to add html code/text into the document. Spiffy. But i think there is something i'm missing.
i tried doing a dinky "test" version by just adding document.writeIn("test") in the header. But, nothing happens. Do i have to link it though and exteral javascript document. Do i have to place the code somewhre else? do i have to give it a little place in the body to write in or what?

So, I've got 3 DIVs. DIV1 is the one that is the longest, as in goes the furthest down the page. I want DIV2 and DIV3 to stretch out to the proportion of DIV1. But I can't do this with absolute values, because the amount of content in DIV1 changes.

Everyone says the solution to this is:
* html, body {height:100%}

But that doesn't work for me. DIV2 and DIV3 remain the size of the window and will not stretch past that.

I understand this has some sort of correlation with the Box Model hack etc., but I'm just quite confused right now. Help?
