I decided recently to tidy up my CSS for a web app that the company I work for is building. What I decided to do was gather up all the colours used and give them variable names so that if I, say, want to change the shade of grey that is "lightgrey" I can just do it once instead of hunting for all instances of #CCCCCC, for example.

I wasn't thinking last night and went and did this in PHP... the app is written in ASP. D'oh! What extension should I use and how do I link in a CSS file with ASP code in it?

I'd developed a form making use of fieldset tags and everything was fine in IE6, Firefox, etc. Now in IE7 all these extra borders are obscuring the text, making for quite a mess. I've not been able to locate this specific error in my searching the web. Anyone else out there experience this one yet?

Hi,

I built an iframe inside a webpage. I want to use the back button functionality for anyone who is surfing the page in the iframe...but when I plug in the history.go(-1) the history of the parent window steps back, which is not what I want. Is there any way to give people a way to go back one in the page they were viewing in the iframe without screwing up the parent page's history?

Looking forward to your advice.

Hello everyone. I have a web service sort of like a gallery written in PHP, and I'd like to make it externally accessible to use in other remote applications. I was thinking of using the SOAP protocol, but it's hard to find how to write a SOAP server in PHP (everything I can find is making a SOAP client.)

Anyone that could point me to a tutorial, give me a simple example, or point me to another protocol that's easier to write for (XML-RPC) would be great help. Thanks!

P.S.  This will all be for internal use, so functions don't need to be exposed, and such.

X-Posted to php.

I'm looking for a php-based IMAP client. I'm looking for one that can work like thunderbird or outlook, in that it can allow a user to check email for multiple accounts on one "screen" (instead of the current system, where I have to log on to webmail for each individual email address. bah, what a pain!) What are my options (bar just writing my own?)

First of all, I want to say sorry for posting this in multiple places but I need all the help I can get.

I am a novice webmaster. I learned most of what I know by clicking view source, seeing where people had text, adding my own and slightly modifying those pages. Therefore, saying that I don't know what I'm doing is an understatement. I usually find programs to do the things I need to get done like menus (deluexe menues), web dwarf and my latests installment, Dreamweaver 8 which I have no freaking clue how to use to it's full potential.

My club's webpage needs serious work. One issue is the menu. Since it's from a program, it says trial menu on top of it, disabling people from clicking the links. Two is the overall layout. It's boring, it's plain. I want to stick to the color scheme of red, black and white. I'm having alignment problems, browser problems (looks one way in IE vs Firefox) and a whole medley of other problems. My club has a forum which I've been posting screen caps of the mistakes in the website and pleading for help. Turns out, I'm practically the only one who knows how to do anything web wise which meant I'm on my own. I had one guy reply but due to my lack of knowledge, he was way over my head.

Here is the forum post. Feel free to read it, look at the screen caps and comments. I've set the board so that anyone may leave comments. I would be grateful for some help. I've been frustrated over this issue way too long. Thank You

I was playing around with Process Explorer, and apparently it allows you to view the Data Execution Prevention status of running processes. Pretty useless, I thought, since I have Data Execution Prevention turned on for all processes. I have no exclusions specified, and have selected "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select"...

However, despite this, Firefox shows up with DEP status "Off"... It is the only process on my system that does this. I have an Opteron 170 processor (identical to an Athlon64 X2) which supports hardware DEP mode. If an application can simply opt out of data execution prevention despite its being hardware supported and supposedly forced by the OS, it really weakens the protection Especially when the application is a web browser, which is probably the most vulnerable application on the entire system to buffer overflow attacks (which is what DEP is designed to prevent).

I checked out of curiousity, and ThunderBird also comes up with DEP disabled. I have not found any other applications that disable this protection feature.

So, I'm kinda miffed that the supposed "secure" browser has opted out of Data Execution Prevention. Any particular reason/explanation for this?

I have included a screenshot that will show that it is indeed disabled, and I do indeed have DEP enabled on my system.

Hello guys, I'm really hoping you can help me. I'm pretty much desperate. Not asking you to completely design something for me, but.. here's my problem.

I'm in my final year for the second time, I had to redo this semester because I couldn't pass. I've been having a lot of problems with designing - it's like I've almost lost the fun I always used to have with it. It's really hard to keep coming with sketches and designs, but I have to, because if I don't pass this time, I'll totally fail.

The site I've been struggling with is the following : http://www.nadiemasquetu.com/preciosa/rpv/index.htm This is the second (detailed worked out version) I have made of the site. It's in Dutch, but you'll be able to see how the menu works - it does by the circles. This is about an Arthritis organisation, so I choose for the concept of using the circles/menu options on the places of the body where arthritis hits the hardest.

The critic of my teachers was there there wasn't enough "designed" in this website, I hope you can understand what they mean with that. I assume they mean the lot of "whites" and all, but I just can't.. can't come up with any good ideas to improve it. Also, at first on the main page, the circles are on the "sensitive arthritis areas", but when you go deeper into the side, they line up like the spine - because else it's not working well, IMO. But, that's very wrong in my teacher's eyes.

So could you help me perhaps with some constructive critic, and suggestions on what I should change? Do you think the concept itself is good enough, or that I should go for something else? I have to work with the logo and the pink/purple colors, unfortunately. Any kind of help and suggestions would be SO very much appreciated, I'm dying here.

I have made a site with two Flash files right next to each other, one on top of the other, and for some reason Internet Explorer (both v6 and v7) insists on putting white space between the two objects (i am not having this problem with Opera or Firefox). I don't really know where this white space is coming from; I don't think it has anything to do with the CSS. Does anyone see anything??

I was curious where to look for info on how to access files and directories (and any constructs/modules/functions) that may help with file management in a Windows environment? Or any changes that need to be made to php.ini or any other file. Basically I want to be able to access and control files and folders from within a webbrowser or a command line with this script and be able to have it store filenames, data structures, etc. to my database. Also wouldn't mind some data mining functions as well, as windows search doesn't work too well and I'm still trying to find a good grep for windows.

Thanks,
exeyel

oh yeah, and one more thing! does anyone either 1. have a token they want to give up to someone who wants to change their username? or 2. know how i can get one WITHOUT paying $15??

hopefully someone can help me out! :) thanks!
