Hey just wondering if anyone here knows of where to find code I know I saw before but can't seem to find now and heck can't recall if it's dhtml or java or just reg html....

I need to have a text box pop up when you hover your mouse over a word like how trillian does it with def's for certain words and what not just for html. Know I've seen it before. I don't want a annoying windows box pop up or anything like that just a small box to appear until the mouse moves away from the word.

Once again I reiterate I am not looking for a popup window. Just a small simple box hovers till you move your mouse away.

This is really an annoyance above and beyond my comprehension. I was having some issues with IE 6 with all updates installed.
The issue? My quick links in the tool bar were functioning strangly only *after... They were opening up a new window instead of using the current window.

*I installed XP Pro (genuine) over top of my Home edition for various reasons with my IT friend. But since then the IE 6 had this issue.

I fugured a solution would be to use this IE7 beta 3... It's awesome and quite faster than Opera and Firefox. Though, when browsing, any website that uses Flash will not load the flash. I have to visit adobe.com every time and install it. But it doesn't actually install on my PC... what the f...?

Here you will see a copy of the CSS I use for my navigation menu. My goal is to have the first character of each link underlined as per page visiting. So if im on the index page "Home", the intended result will look like this: Home
I've settled for manually inserting the html, but would rather apply CSS in this case. Help?

This is a very simple trick I came up with for my test environment at home.  It's used with Apache 2.* with the virtual host module loaded in httpd.conf and a virtualhost.conf file included at the end.

The trick is this:

Say you have your virtual host sites in this directory structure.

/websites/users/myDomain.com/public_html/

At
/websites/
create two junctions/links to /websites/users/
/websites/php4 -> /websites/users/
/websites/php5 -> /websites/users/

Now use the following conf file.


ScriptAlias /php4/ "d:/wamp/php4/"
ScriptAlias /php5/ "d:/wamp/php5/"


    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride all
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
#Tell php where to find INI settings
    SetEnv PHPRC "d:/wamp/php4"
#Tell Apache to process this mime with this CGI parser
    Action application/x-httpd-php "/php4/php.exe"    



 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
 AllowOverride all
 Order Deny,Allow
 Deny from all
 Allow from 127.0.0.1
#Tell php where to find INI settings
    SetEnv PHPRC "d:/wamp/php5"
#Tell Apache to process this mime files with this CGI parser
    Action application/x-httpd-php "/php5/php-cgi.exe"

#Tell's apache files of this type are php mime type

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3
#if a broswer calls the server with http://php(4||5).myDomain.com it parses out to
#d:/website/php(4||5)/myDomain.com/public_html/

VirtualDocumentRoot "d:/website/%1/%2/public_html/"



So now when you setup your hosts or local DNS server, you can run the same website/application in either environment by
changing out the subdomain.  And further more, there is no way to mistake what environment your in or the need to have multiple copies of websites.
Best of all, you can make other junction/links and Directory statements in Apache so you could test your site on just about every version of PHP there is.

So
http://php4.myWebsite.com/ would run the website with php4
http://php5.myWebsite.com/ would run the website with php5


I tested this out on XP 64, but because the idea is universal, it should work on *nix environments as well.  I made a project log of setting this up along with phpDocumentor and subversion, so if anyone is interested just contact me.

Hey all, I have to add an animation to an HTML email for a client. At first the person asked for Flash but I told them using GIFs was essentially required for the medium. I built the animation in Flash using the photos provided but it looks like a$$ when exported. Is there a better way to export them or another third party program that can handle the conversion better? I'm at the point where I'm trying to build the animated gif in Fireworks from the exported Flash frames to possibly have better control over the end result. Any help is definitely appreciated...Thanks.

Before I call it a night, I figured this might be useful for someone on here. It's a fairly well thought out discussion on patterns, what they are and why they can be beneficial for developing complex applications.

    Maybe I am nutts or excessive when it comes to security, but I've been noticing that no one else leaves traps and alarms when dealing with user input from the client.  What I mean by traps is the below:

...


...

The first thing I check before validating input is this debugOn variable... if it's anything else besides "off", all of the input is serialized and logged with the offending client IP to a suspect log which is then checked every 10 minutes by a cron Job.  If the suspectLogger cronjob counts more then 3 events against a IP, that addressed is blocked or redirected to a static html page.

Another good one is when I am passing ID via get/post from one page to the next.  If on the next validation the record ID doesn't match the stored IP address and their domain isn't aol.com or doesn't have the word proxy in it somewhere, a suspect event is logged and they're redirected back to the originating form with a message saying there is a mismatch between their IP address and record number.

So far every idea I've come up with that I thought was original, someone thought of five years ago or has been unfeasible, so I wonder why no one else does this, it was pretty easy to setup.

     Instead of trying to roll my own solution, anyone know of a reliable IMAP/POP mail reader to be used in the back end of a website.  What I am doing is dedicating a email account on the server to receiving incoming articles.  On the command of the web Admin or a crontab script, the email's would be parsed/validated, with emails not from another account on the website being ignored, and then checking for something like "@PASSWORD='password'" on the first line.  If thats passes, any embedded, attached img's would be parsed into jpg/png, the email body would be copied into a .htm file, and then authorized by the web admin.

The reason for doing this is that a lot of the content writers are clueless about HTML/CSS so I want to make it really easy for them to be able to publish articles onto the website using something simple like a email client as a WYSIWYG editor.   I am going to use a fairly long email account name to try and avoid random spam and put in filter to reject any email that doesn't originate from the same server.  Otherwise I am putting the KCEditor in the admin section as a another way of writing up articles.

I'm using the method described here to create rollovers via CSS, but I have a question about accessibility.

I'm making a rollover for a "Zoom Images" button. The button is entirely image-based (no html text). Normally, for an image-based link, I'd just add the "Zoom Picture" text to the alt tag for accessibility, but since this method is based on background images, there's not really any way to do that.

This method was featured on A List Apart, and I'd be surprised to see them promote something that wasn't accessible, so maybe I'm missing an easy method here. Obviously, I could just adapt the link to be partially text-based, but I'm wondering if there's another way...

Hi all. It's been a while since I last posted. I'm trying something new out and am having a bit of trouble getting it to work in IE. I know it WILL work because the inspiration came from another website. If you look at test.aacapartsandsupplies.com, the menu with the hover images is what I want to use. I am using an unordered list with the span tag, where each list item has a different image.

The public beta version of the best profiler for .NET applications was released today.

You can download it and and try out here: http://www.jetbrains.com/profiler/beta.html. The download includes a full-functionality license that will allow you to use the software until October 31, 2006.

The most important new feature in dotTrace 2.0 beta is Memory Profiling. Now you can see what happens with the memory used by your .NET applications to optimize how your app uses memory. You can capture snapshots of memory to analyze in nine informative views, each tuned to a specific aspect of memory usage. You can also take a snapshot of the application’s memory state at two key points to compare them and locate memory leaks.

Notable enhancements in performance profiling include "Quick Info" for any function, the ability to compare performance snapshots of the same application, new filtering options and collapsing recursive calls. Among other useful features and improvements are the integration with Microsoft Visual Studio and the ability to profile Windows services.

Information on new features is available at http://www.jetbrains.com/profiler/features/newfeatures.html.

We think you’ll find that dotTrace 2.0 is now a comprehensive and robust profiling solution for .NET applications that stands up to the most demanding profiling requirements. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

So... I am trying to help a (very) small school actually get some IT going.  Could I get some opinions on how to build a low-cost file and print server for a place with about 50 computers?

Right now, they're running a mix of MacOS X and Windows XP Home / Win98.  They have NO server to speak of (not even an IT guy), and teachers print by connecting to some other workstation's shared printer or they figure it out on their own.  They have no backups whatsoever, and many computers don't print because they don't have the right drivers installed, etc.  I think they should have some solution that costs very little in recurring maintenance, and I'm torn between the options at this point.

I was thinking of 3 ways to go about this, but I'd love to see what others may recommend...
