Hey guys,

I'm trying to put together a project in which users will be able to interface with a rich text input editor, kind of like what you see when you click the "rich text" tab on the Update page of Livejournal; that would allow a user to insert images, create link anchors, etc.

More generally, though, I'm trying to figure out in this project a way to let some users of my website to be able to create new pages and modify them using this rich text interface. You may ask, why not use a blogging tool? The reason I'm not using Wordpress or other blog software is unfortunately I cannot use a database in this project (don't ask), and those tools practically demand one. I can use a folder and file structure. So now you know the outlines of my challenge.

What do you think are the odds of creating a system like this without a database? I initially figured it would be a piece of cake until I stopped to think of how and where the data would be stored, etc.

Moreover, do you know any out of the box apps to use in this project?

I know a few people here contributed to Wordpress and other open source projects like Geeklog. I'd appreciate your input.

Thank you!

Do any of you know what website that offers downtime monitoring that is hassle-free and the service is reasonable good?

On the same boat, if I couldn't depend on my web server cron job, will that website help me, too? Or is there any other website you can recommend? The cron job I'm talking about is to check a web page content for every specific time.

And the last, I'm doing a form for dummies. I need them to input their screen resolution, if they don't know, I would like to redirect them to a web page that will output their monitor resolution. Is there such a thing? (I understand it might need cookies enabled)

Thanks.

Ok, so I need to get my hands on Microsoft Office.

I'm a student so student discounts are viable.

Where would be the cheapest place to get it?

I've got a trial of Office Pro 2003 pre-loaded on my new system, so I guess upgrading to Office Pro 2007 would be the way to go..?

Thanks..

Also, I'm looking into picking up a PDA.. I've got my eyes set on an HP Ipaq H4350. It seems to fit what I'd be looking for. My biggest concern is that it may not be compatible with Vista and/or my online school's website. (Particularly the Word and Acrobat files)

Anyone have any input on this device and/or it's possible compatibility (problems)?

Thanks again..

Hello All,

Does anyone have a static source for news type pictures? I am creating a personal screensaver that goes out and gets news type of pictures and updates a directory. These pictures will be displayed as my screensaver.

Right now I have lots of neat weather data from the NOAA website. Radar, IR, and general satellite pics for my area and nationally. All of these images have a static location. For instance: http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/national_forecast.jpg always has a national forecast image.

I'm looking for something like this, but not necessarily weather.

BTW, I use Linux, so I don't need a Windows program to do this (if it matters.)

Thanks in advanced

Hi!

It happens two times today that my Firefox 2.0.0.2 crashed. The first time in my own forum when I clicked on "Who is online?". And second time just happened a few minutes ago when I was clicking on the category title in a friends forum. Both forums are the same version (phpBB2 Plus 1.53) and it was not the first time it happened there. And both forums are the only ones where Firefox crashes. Maybe I should mention that problem to the developers (of phpBB2) as well, but I doubt they can do anything.

Any ideas what could cause this?

If useful, these are the installed extensions:

Adblock 0.5.3.043
deviantMessage 0.9.1
DOM Inspector 1.8.1.2
Firebug 1.01
Forecastfox 0.9.5.2
Gmail Notifier 0.5.6.5
Html Validator [de] 0.7.9.5
IE Tab 1.3.1.20070126
NoScript 1.1.4.6
Plain Text Links [de] 0.3

Hi,

I'm really new to java and I am looking to embed a video from ifilm in a popup window.

This is the script I have so far:

start script

function openindex()
{
OpenWindow=window.open("", "newwin", "height=400, width=500,toolbar=no,scrollbars="+scroll+",menubar=no");
OpenWindow.document.write("")
OpenWindow.document.write("")
Open.Window.document.("bracket embed width="448" height="365" src=weblinkhere quality="high" bgcolor="000000" name="efp" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="flvbaseclip=2687058" >")
OpenWindow.document.write("")
OpenWindow.document.write("")
OpenWindow.document.close()
self.name="main"
}

end script

The link is supposed to be: http://www.ifilm.com/efp
I had to put it like that so everyone could see the code.

Also, bracket embed is supposed to be < embed (no space of course)

The problem is in the embed tag.
If I dont have that there I get a popup box to come up no problem.

At ifilm, that was the embed html code they supplied.
When I put it in the body text it worked (not as java, as plain html).
But I want it to popup in a separate window when you click on some text or a button.

Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

Hello, i've checked that I have a USB 2.0 port on my dell cpu using device manager. However, whenever i connect anything to the available (& visible) USB ports, the locations of them are not the same as the usb 2.0 port. Forgive me if I'm being stupid, but how can I find the USB 2.0 port? Thnk you!





I have no idea what Dell model this is as they've taken it down from the website. I know on other models, one can lift off the front panel, but it's not possible with this one it seems.

Hi! I'm currently making a website for a school project using ASP.NET and SQL and it has a registration form. How do I keep the registered entries unique like say...make sure no two people get the same login name? My 'loginname' variable in my database is data type nvarchar(50). I've tried google and some other sites but I don't think I'm getting the keywords correctly.

Thanks for your time!

pardon me for barging in unannounced...but I have a dilemma. It's been awhile since I made any sort of webpage and now someone wants me to do some updates to their page. I've been doing stuff to the site which is great but my problem is this:

I want to put a background image on the page that just sits there while the rest of the page scrolls over top of it.

have a look if you like, at the Home History Research Project
news page (which is normally inside a frame, but that's not important).

So I just want one instance of the background image, and the list of links to scroll over top of it while the image stays put.

much MUCH thanks - I have no idea how to do this!

Thank you.

Hey, can someone tell me why after submitting an email form on my website, it will reload my website in a different window? You can test it all you want, go ahead submit to see....

Heres my the script in the action layer:
set(mailuser, "wendy922@gmail.com");
set(targetpage, "none");
stop();


and heres the script on the SUBMIT button:
on (release) {
getURL("gdform.asp", "lower", "GET");
}
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(75);
}



It maybe just be my control panel with my hosting service. I'll check.

Hello,
I'm not sure what piece of code it is, but the hyperlinks of users' names on entries is invisible/hidden on Firefox, but is completely fine on IE.
How can I get the username links to look like the standard links on my community [which are all visible on both Firefox & Mozilla]?

Thank you!
