I was wondering if anyone might have any ideas on this flash problem that is driving me crazy?

The sites temporary address is http://www.megahunter.net/goodman/index.shtml. Now the client is telling me that no one in their office can see the flash in the upper right hand corner, but he can see it fine from his home computer. I directed him to another site with flash and he can see that sites flash fine so he has the plugin. I also thought maybe it was cache issue so I had him clear out his history and delete files and cookies, but that didn't work either.

Does anyone else out there not see the flash or have any ideas? Thanks

I'm looking for a good PHP search engine with full text indexing, the ability to crawl pages itself, preferably MySQL storage, and advanced search options. It'd also be nice if it rendered output in streamlined xhtml, or uses Smarty but not required.

Any suggestions?

I'm making a website for my webdesign class using XHTML and CSS. I've got a little bit done and it validates on W3C and looks the way I want in Safari, Camino and Firefox (for Mac and Windows), but IE is not cooperating, and that is what the professor uses to grade these things. Basically what I have so far is a table set to span 100% of the window and it is flush against the top of the window. But in IE it's flush to the top and to the left, but there is space to the right of the table. Any idea as to why it's ignoring that I set the width to 100%?

I'm trying to do some really wacky stuff with a form.

Essentially, I'm reading in multiple columns from a table in a MySQL database (looping, obviously), and creating a form as I present the data. The challenge this presents is that for each loop, the form values have to have a unique identifier, so I'm trying to use variables. It's not working so well, but I'm using standard HTML to try to process the form. I've gleaned bits and pieces searching the web that PHP has its own method to handle form input.

So, I need a good book that has a lot of detail on how to work with forms. A good web resource would work too.

Thanks in advance!



This is a quick mockup of the code and how I'm presenting the form...

$count=0; while(list($name, $id, $message)= $result->fields) { echo "<input name=\"name$count\" value=\"Y\" type=\"checkbox\">$name<br>"; echo "<input name=\"id$count\" value=\"Y\" type=\"checkbox\">$id"<br>; echo "<input name="\msg$count\" value=\"$message\" type=\"hidden\">$message<br>"; $count++; $result->MoveNext(); }

So, in theory here, each loop should give a unique value to each form element. I just need to know how to process it. I'm writing selected data back into a seperate table, so I need to loop through the results and write them out.

Again, help is appreciated!

Long story short, I took a data structures course, and decided to practice my new skills this summer by designing an HTML RPG.

I'm close to the point to designing the actual interface - player / item objects are all done. Currently I have no idea what kind of interface it will be, though it will probably end up like Magic Candle (so very old... but picture a top-down interface without the fancy graphics). Obviously, the user will move their character either via links or form buttons.

Say the character dies when they fall into a trap. What is to stop them from using their browser's history to go back and take a different path? Or, say they gain 1 hit point when they level - what's to stop them from going back and hoping for a 10?

Is it even possible to restrict this sort of browser-history thing? I know this works in Firefox atleast:

1. from home.php, follow a link to page.php
2. on page.php, click a link to work.php
3. work.php only modifies data, then gives a header->location to page.php
4. on page.php, click a link to home.php
5. home.php loads in history

Alright, I'm having a bit of a problem.

I've set up a page to read and parse RSS feeds. It works for the most part. The feed names and addresses are pulled from a mysql database okay. The problem lies in putting them onscreen. At some point, variables are not being dropped or overwritten, and I'm getting the same results repeated, but with the count number of the second feed.

See what I mean?

This is the code:


-- Begin Code --



include (" [ sql stuff ]");

$sql = "SELECT * FROM rss_feeds";

$results = mysql_query($sql);

while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($results))
{


$feedtitle = $myrow['name'];
$feedurl = $myrow['url'];
$xfeed = $myrow["feed"];
$maxcount = $myrow['num_items'];


$xmlfile = fopen("$xfeed", "r");
if(!$xmlfile)die("This doesn't work");
$readfile = fread($xmlfile ,100000);
$searchfile = eregi("< item>(.*)< /item>", $readfile ,$arrayreg);
$filechunks = explode("< item>", $arrayreg[0]);
$count = count($filechunks);

if ($maxcount > $count)
{
$maxcount = $count;
}


echo "< a href=\"$feedurl\">$feedtitle< /a>< br>";


for($i=1 ; $i<=$maxcount ; $i++)
{


eregi("< title>(.*)< /title>",$filechunks[$i], $title);
eregi("< link>(.*)< /link>",$filechunks[$i], $link);
eregi("< pubDate>(.*)< /pubDate>",$filechunks[$i], $pubdate);
eregi("< description>(.*)< /description>",$filechunks[$i], $description);

$pubdate = "$pubdate[1]";
$xlink = "$link[1]";
$xtitle = "$title[1]";
$xdescription = "$description[1]";

$xdescription = html_entity_decode($xdescription);
$xdescription = strip_tags($xdescription);


$xday = substr($pubdate, 5, 2);
$xmonth = substr($pubdate, 8, 3);
$xyear = substr($pubdate, 12, 4);

$monthnames = array("Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec");
$monthnumbers = array("01", "02", "03", "04", "05", "06", "07", "08", "09", "10", "11", "12");

$ymonth = str_replace($monthnames, $monthnumbers, $xmonth);

$articledate = date("F jS, Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, $ymonth, $xday, $xyear));

echo "< span style=\"text-transform: capitalize;\">< a href =\"$xlink\" target=\"_blank\">$xtitle< /a>< /span>< br>";
echo "$articledate< br>";
echo "$xdescription< br>";

}

}


-- End Code --



Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

NOTE: It looks now to be a problem with the one RSS feed itself, and not the code

This isn't an lj question... is that okay?

On an old site I put the same toolbar on every page by putting the toolbar's code in a .txt file and, somehow, linking to it on whatever pages I wanted it on. That way, whenever I wanted to edit the toolbar, I only had to edit -one- file, instead of all of the pages.

Whenever the page would open, it would automatically insert the HTML for the toolbar. I thought I'd used the code for External Style Sheets, but after looking a fe up and trying them, that didn't work. I also did a search for "External Headers" and found a few links that didn't help, as well as... air-conditioner parts?

Anyway, if you know how I can save a code in another file and have each page call it when opened, let me know.

Any thoughts/experiences with SSL VPNs?

We have maybe max 25 users right now, but if it works well, we can envision up to maybe 100 users simultaneous (including customers).

Recommendations or warnings?

We're a large-item, small-quantity-output manufacturing outfit, users are mostly salesmen, and customers.

Common needs inside web would be intranet websites, outlook, maybe some files, and optimally a seperate 'area/portal' for employees and customers.

Thanks...

i'm sorry, my mistake. i had an input with the name "action" and it was confusing the browser. if you ever run into a problem like this, check your s names ;)




Hya!

I'm working on a feature for my website that needs me to change a form action with javascript.
It's actually pretty easy to achieve this with Firefox, but not in IE. Since i'm not turning my back on IE, eventhough i hate the browser, i really wanted to get this thing to work cross-browser.. for the user's sake. ;)

Is it possible?


an example, working on firefox

function preview( id ) {

    // get form element
    var frm_obj = window.document.getElementById( id );


    // open window
    var w = window.open( "loading.html", "preview", "width=500,height=350,scrollbars=yes" );


    // change form attributes
    frm_obj.target = "preview";
    frm_obj.action = "preview.php";


    // hey ho, let's go!
    frm_obj.submit();

    // bring window up (could be open already)
    w.focus();
    
}

Ok, so I'm redoing my current website, for several reasons. 1) I hate the way it looks now. 2) It's done completely with Word 2000. (Ick.)
I don't know that much html, and learning it from scratch is too time-consuming because I'm terribly busy with a toddler. I have Dreamweaver, but haven't learned to use it yet. I'm a WYSIWYG kinda gal, and some people have recommended using Frontpage, but some other people yelled at me for even considering it. At this point, after 2 hours of fighting with it, learning Dreamweaver on my own has proven to be impossible. I can't make heads nor tails of any of it, I've tried the tutorials and the help files, and it's all so confusing and frustrating that I'm ready to just throw my laptop across the room in a fit of rage.

My question is this: Is there anyone who would be willing to talk me through creating one simple page (background, images, text, and uploading to my webhost) step by step with Dreamweaver? I just need a jumpstart in layman's terms to get me going. I catch on very quickly to things, and I take excellent notes, so getting me started on the right track shouldn't be too difficult.
Can anyone assist me?
Thanks in advance.

As of late, i have been making an archive of helpful posts when it comes to overrides and html. I have a total of 65 posts, ranging from things such as posting overrides or hiding your icon to sidebars and changing navigational links. I thought it could be helpful to some of you, because I know people don't always know where to look for help. Also, it's useful to have everything in one place, instead of constantly having to refer back to communities. Enjoy :)

I need help with creating a calendar in css, can someone help me out.

This is what I have to do:

1. I have to create a new blank file and save it as caldendar.js

2. Then within the file, I am supposed to insert a function named calendar() that has a single parameter named "caldate". The caldate parameter stores the date the user wants hightlighted in the calendar.

3. Within the command block of the calendar() function, I am to create an array named "MonthName" that stores the names of the twelve months. Th first element in the array, MonthName[0] should have a value of "January" and completes the rest of the array similarly.

4. Then I am to create an array, "DayName", that stores the three letter abbreviations of the seven weekday names, starting with DayName[0] ="Sun".

5. After the DayName array, I am to create a date object variable named Calendar_Day. If the value of the caldate parameter is equal to "today", set Calendar_Day equal to the current date and time; otherwise, set Calendar_Day equal to the date specified by the caldate parameter. (Hint: use the command: Calendar_Day = new Date(caldate)).

6. Use the getDate(), getMonth(), and getFullYear() methods to extract the day of the month, month number, and four-digit year from the Calendar_Day variable. Store these values in variables named ThisDay, ThisMonth, and ThisYear, respectively.

7. Then I am to use the doucment.write() method to write the following tags to the Web page:
<table id="calendar"> <tr> <th id="calendar_head" colspan="7">Month, Year</th> </tr>

Where [I]Month, Year[/I] is the name of the month and the four-digit year. (Hint: use MonthName[ThisMonth] to display the name of the month; use the ThisYear variable to display the year value.)


Now this is what I have done?
<script type="text/JavaScript"> function calendar(caldate); var Month = new Array() { Monthname [0] = "January"; Monthname [1] = "February"; Monthname [2] = "March"; Monthname [3] = "April"; Monthname [4] = "May"; Monthname [5] = "June"; Monthname [6] = "July"; Monthname [7] = "August"; Monthname [8] = "September"; Monthname [9] = "October"; Monthname [10] = "November"; Monthname [11] = "December"; var DateName = new Array() Datename[0]="Sun"; Datename[1]="Mon"; Datename[2]="Tue"; Datename[3]="Wed"; Datename[4]="Thu"; Datename[5]="Fri"; Datename[6]="Sat"; Calendar_Day = new Date(caldate)) } </script>

8. I am to create a For loop that writes a table row containing seven table heading cells. The For loop should generate the following HTML code:

<table id="calendar"> <tr> <th id="caldendar_head" colspan="7">Month, Year</th> </tr> <tr> <th class="calendar_weekdays">Sun</th> <th class="calendar_weekdays">Mon</th> <th class="calendar_weekdays">Tue</th> <th class="calendar_weekdays">Wed</th> <th class="calendar_weekdays">Thu</th> <th class="calendar_weekdays">Fri</th> <th class="calendar_weekdays">Sat</th> </tr>

I don't think I did any of this right, so can someone point in the right direction.

I have no friends on this journal, yet I want to ask questions, and learn. So I'll be crossposting for a while for (1) information, and (2) the hope of finding design friends who I might have more than design in common with, but who understands what frustrations of being a designer!

So that said, I have the following question(s):

I'm going to start a new portfolio for my work - web based and paper as well. When you guys begin any project, what is your process: Do you sketch it out first? Work out the "look" of it in photoshop and then begin moving it into html or flash or whatever? I'm curious to know how my process differs from other designers.

Generally I start with a sketch, move that to photoshop, and then to html/flash. Is there better ways to go about it? What different things do you take into consideration when beginning a design project such as a portfolio?

I hope I haven't annoyed too many people!
