Hi, can anyone tell me how to get IE to show the background for a div? In Firefox you can see the background behind the menu, but its a no show in IE. Thanks.

i still need to get back on that post about php, but i'm going to china and things are nuts....sorry ^^'

this might seem really random and trivial, but i'm starting school in september and want to take classes in web design need-to-knows.

i wanted to ask for advice on which course to chose, since i do know html & css rather (if not almost) fluently.

Here are the course options.
I'd really appriciate some advice on this, cuz i dont want to get head deep into something i end up dropping.
Or cruise easily threw a class...

Thanks. XD (Also, anyone go/went to Foothill? I noticed lots of Bay Area people here... maybe some of you have gone thrugh the classes, or know the teacher?)

When writing my entries, to do the equivalent of < p > tag (minus the spaces) in order to start a new paragraph, I find that I have to press the enter button three times instead of the twice, to miss one whole line.
I have no idea what it is in my layout codes that does that.

To, to make this new paragraph, I would had to press the enter button three times. I've been looking at my customisation html codes and I can't find anything that would affect this. Can anyone who knows what I'm supposed to look for give me a bit of help and point out exactly which bit of code is affecting this by doing view source? Please help! I'd be so so grateful and thanks for looking!

    I've been trying to teach my co-worker about web design, but I think it would help this person out a lot more if they had a local html server to test designs from instead of having to FTP everything to a remote server.  Plus the server can be setup in debug mode (all error messages, verbose logs, etc) to make things easier.   The problem is that she is on a Mac, I don't know Macs, except as those things I see other people with.  So is there a html server for Macs?  Even a simple one would do.

I'm sure there has to be a simple answer to this one...

I've got a text area full of text that the user has entered.
I've also got a div that I'm writing information to.

When my JavaScript lifts the text out of the text area and dumps it in the div, it looses its line breaks because (obviously) it's not formatted html.

So here's my question - how do I detect those line breaks and replace them with br tags? My experiments with x.replace-ing \n or \r\n all seem to fail.

in my last post -
http://community.livejournal.com/mysql/100762.html

I asked about how to speed up a query using many NOT LIKE %45% statements. I am starting to understand what I need to do, thanks to some advice. Since I am a newbie sql wannabee, it will take me a while. I am still not there yet, I think the best plan is to make another column tinyint, and mark the records I do not want to show. I am not quite sure of they syntax and how to do "if this, insert this data into the records column tinyint" so that I use that as a marker of a record NOT to show. I would figure I do that every once a month or so to mark all the records I don't want to show during a query. Any other ideas? Maybe it's easier to just filter them in the php web code?

One thing I did find out was that mysql had query_cache_size = 0. I set it to 80 megabytes and now any duplicate query is instant!! Nice. . .I was wondering why it couldn't cache duplicate searchs and some other things like that.

I'm currently converting a web site to table-less code, and am having problems with links in Firefox. On the page I've linked to, I've made the text float to the right while the menu stays on the left, but this makes it so you cannot click on the links. It works fine in IE. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The CSS code is under the cut.

Recently, I've been tasked to create an e-mail newsletter with HTML formatting, the results of which can be seen at this location.

Everything looks fine-and-dandy in IE, however in firefox, because of a flaw where long links with no spaces take control of table spacing (scroll to the bottom to see the obnoxiously long link). IE allows no-space-links to wrap to the second line, wheras firefox doesn't.

All talks with the boss man lead to us needing the address in there (what if visually handicapped people need to type in the address?). While it's a valid point, it is affecting a good amount of our user base to keep that option open.

What would you guys suggest be done to alleviate this short of shortening the filename? (that's a last resort measure for us).

Thanks!

I'm interested in using a SSI call for my site's navigation system, and was curious if anybody could give me a few pointers on how to do this.

Most SSI that I've used has been a random HTML script line-call, so I'm a little uncertain how to proceed with setting up a file that can:

Have img src with imagemap attributes.

This SSI call will be implemented in normal HTML pages, Agoracart, PostNuke, and perhaps WordPress.

Advice is most appreciated.

Thank you.

I have these files generated by a perl script, called something.hwd.

Format of each file is the title separated by a pipe symbol and then the html of the article. Example:

This is the title | Some html about the article goes here

Does anyone know how to mass import about 500 of these files into MySQL as records in a single table? I was going to write a script that would grab the date and time stamp of each file and then make the file format like this

2006-06-06 | Title | The HTML

I almost had it working but some records were skipped, I was using mysql's import command.

Anyway, if you can't figure it out, no problem. The client is willing to start with a fresh website.

I need something that's easily skinnable (got everything done in static html, just need to translate that into a dynamic site); has a mailform, search engine, and content syndication; and has a content approval workflow and (ideally) some way of auditing who is making what changes.

Currently looking into Drupal, Mambo, TYPO3, and Xoops. Anyone have any experiences with these or any other CMS's?
