This is in regards to "SEARCH /\x90\xc9\xc9\xc9\xc9... etc." showing up in the server logs.

I googled around and found this article telling me to have no reason to worry, and this article on how to disable logging of request strings that are too long. There's also a news article briefly describing the exploit. A post request is made as well: "POST /_vti_bin/_vti_aut/fp30reg.dll HTTP/1.1" 404

I guess this is my curious side taking over. My IP address is *.45.61, I'm on a college residental network. The requests always come from with the same prefix -- *.37.86, or *.15.95, or *.37.238 - it changes every time. Why? What is triggering these addresses to access my webhost?

Also, what kind of exploit is this? From the trend I'm seeing, making a quick post to that file right after an overflowing URI is probably the bug, but I guess I'm more curious as to what exactly can be accomplished from that.

Thanks for any info :)

guys, I'm a real beginner. I'd like to get my feet wet by creating a website for the salon I go to. I have a good rapport with the owner.

I'm comfortable enough using DreamHost and Dreamweaver, but what I'd really like to do is skip tables altogether. I'd like to design using pure CSS -- but how does this work with Dreamweaver? do I just get some templates from somewhere (where? free? Macromedia?) and then paste the templates onto the Dreamweaver code view screen? or just skip Dreamweaver altogether? I actually took a class in this, but the teacher rushedthroughitsofast that most of it went over my head.

I know about sites like http://www.csszengarden.com/ but I just don't know the nuts and bolts of turning that concept into my reality.

thanks in advance for any thoughts!

also, what in your opinion would be a reasonable fee to charge to set it up? or, the equivalent in barter? ;) (on top of DreamHost's yearly fee for the site.) let's assume it would be a basic 5- or 6-page deal with photos I would take and upload, and the copy written/edited by me (that's what I do for a living IRL).

Hi, thanks in advance for any advice.

I am working on a website on my PC, and I don't know anything about servers but I wanted to develop locally, so I am using a WAMP package. I would like the site to be able to display database entries from mysql that are in Japanese, but when I call them I just see question marks instead of the Japanese (using various browsers and encoding options). I can, however, just echo Japanese text in the php file and it will display properly. Also, in phpmyadmin where I am creating the database the Japanese is displaying correctly.

I don't know if it's a problem with the server, mysql, or the script, so I don't even know where to start. I have tried it with the db, table and fields collated in both sjis_japanese_ci and utf8_unicode_ci, with the same results.

Does anyone know what the problem could be? Thanks!

Hi everyone. By reading through some posts here the past couple weeks, and some replys to my posts, I now have a few questions for everyone:

1. Tables: Why should I stop using them? I've always though Tables were the bread & butter of web design. Part of the reason I think this is because I was pretty much taught to think that way when I was in school for my associates degree. I admit, the school was terrible, but anyway... that's what I was taught. I've seen people on here talk about CSS doing everything tables can... or using DIV tags to do it, and so on. I admit, I know nothing about DIV tags, or what they do... and I know very little CSS... only the fun stuff like link styles and scroll bar colors. Any light shed on this question would be helpful.

2. CSS: Used for the entire website? Just wondering what the benefits are to using CSS for your entire site, instead of HTML.

3. IFRAMES: Why are they so bad? I use them all the time, they are easy to use, and I like 'em. In a previous post someone replied that search engines can't search into them if they are on your site... so I recognize that problem... but what else is there? I'd like to hear some more downsides and upsides. Another person recommended I use DIV tags to do IFRAMES job. I don't know how to do this. Can anyone link me to a little DIV tutorial?

Thats all for now I guess. Thanks in advance for replies!

I've noticed that lately in Firefox (version 1.0), a couple of my bookmarks' icons are wrong. This has happened once at home and once at work. I'm running Windows XP at both and have cleared my cache and everything, but I can't get them to change.

Here's what happened: One of my bookmarks is Snopes.com. They have a little icon for the bookmark that is a black box with UL (for urban legends). I also have The Boondocks cartoon bookmarked. For a long time, the Boondocks icon was just the general sheet like most of them are. Then all of a sudden it started using the UL from Snopes as its icon. Why did it do this? And how do I make it stop?

I have a similar problem with two different web pages at my work computer, too. I have installed Firefox 1.0.1 at home, hoping it would fix the problem, but it hasn't.

Obviously this isn't anything that's a major problem, but it is annoying, and I was wondering if anyone else had this problem before and how they fixed it. (I'm assuming deleting the bookmark and re-marking it would fix it, but that doesn't address the real problem - whatever it may be that's making them take on the wrong icon in the first place.)

Thanks in advance!

Here's a challenge for you.

reviews.cnet.com may or may not have a section dedicated solely to reviewing spyware removal software. It seems that they would, but I can't find it. Can you? If so, what steps did you take to find it?

Many people can find the webpages they need instantly. I, on the other hand, find most sites hard to navigate. If I need something on Microsoft.com, for instance, I don't click around their site's built in navigation. I'll use google's site:microsoft.com functionality. If that fails, I'll try to look around their site. Worst case scenario, I ask someone else to look it up. Anyone else here do the same?

For some reason the navigation and text are off kilt in Firefox (everything works fine in IExplore). What can I do to remedy the problem?

If it has to do with CSS the file is http://www.thecrosbys.net/style.css. Help!

Does it look strange in any other browswer?

Is there a website where I can learn more about streamlining websites across all browsers?


Thanks!

HI there. I'm having major troubles, and headaches, over a new layout I want for my website.

Pure css gave me a nightmare so I decided to use PHP includes, and that way have my site easier to overhaul each time I got bored.
Now, I've not had anything to do with PHP before, and rather than encode each piece by hand, I just made my headers, and footers, and renamed the content of each page whatever.php
(please don't point and laugh at me, I have no idea what I'm doing with PHP ...)

My test page shows up perfectly in IE, but there is only a small space for the menu in Firefox.
I have tried everything from resizing divs, taking divs out, etc etc and nothing has worked.

I want a site with no tables, and no frames that is cross-browser compatible.

Test page is here:
http://www.tehsheepie.com/test/donna.php

css here:
http://www.tehsheepie.com/test/stylesheet.css

Header.php reads as such:

side content.. bla bla..
side content.. bla bla..

side content.. bla bla..
side content.. bla bla..
side content.. bla bla..

faq?


legal


(buttloads more links there, I edited them out)

I'm going to lose my mind soon, the whole idea of me forsaking my beloved frames layout was to become more user-friendly.
What the heck am I doing wrong? :(
Any suggestions are muchly appreciated.
I use Firefox myself, and I'd hate to have to force people to view my page in IE ...
