Maybe someone can help me understand this, because it's making no sense to me. Earlier today Comcast decided to be a wh0re and as such, I was unable to connect off and on for a period of maybe 3 hours. Eventually Trillian was able to connect to AIM, MSN, etc and my bittorrent transfers were fine again - but I simply could not access the web through Firefox. So I waited a while and wrote it off as my computer just being stupid. Well, later Firefox still would not connect even while it was clear that my internet had reconnected (I was talking on AIM as well as recieving e-mail notifications). So I decided to try to access a few random sites through IE - which was able to connect successfully. So I decided to use Go Back and reverted my drive to 12am this morning. That went through, everything started up, and I loaded Firefox - still nothing. From here I tried IE it loaded the start page fine. I figured I would try to reinstall Firefox and install Mozilla as an extra back-up measure. Firefox installs fully, and nothing happens - still nothing on the start page and the test page I threw at it. From here I installed Mozilla, and the start page loaded. Now after this, the start page on Firefox finally decided to comply! My main question is: W T F....? I can understand that things magically happen and screw up random programs, but even after I reinstalled - it didn't work untill 4 minutes later. Could anyone make some logical sense of this?

I'm trying to use mod_rewrite to intercept all requests made to my web server and route them to a php file (index.php) which then parses the request and does what it can to serve the appropriate page. I'm doing this in an effort to use meaningful URLS as opposed to query strings.

I have everything about half-working but I can't send headers from index.php, which is important because not only do I need to be able to generate 404 errors, but the files that will be included by index.php need to set their own headers (content-type, content-language).


These are the lines I'm using in .htaccess for mod_rewrite:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule index.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule !\.(jpg|gif|css)$ /index.php [L]

if ($url_array[0] == 'poems') { // POEMS SUBDIRECTORY
	require('lists.php'); // GET LISTS
	$get = 'poems';
	if (array_search($url_array[1], $poem_list)) {
		$which = $url_array[1];
		include('get.php');
	}
	else {
		if (!headers_sent()) {
			header('HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found');
		}
	}
}
else {
	if (!headers_sent()) {
		header('HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found');
	}
}

So, about a year ago I got really into HTML and all that, I could make websites.. now.. I forget.. everything.

I'm making a blog (for knitting purposes) here.

Now, because I got a new template, all the regular blogger stuff is gone ;___;

I don't know how to get the archivey deal back the regular way, or where I can list my WIPs, or FOs (knitting jargon - they're on EVERY knitting blog.. it's quite important).

Help?

If you use Flash, and want to share your work, you can now easily add a view source menu item to allow downloading the source code.

Usage :

Place the viewFlashSource.as file in the same directory as your Flash source file (FLA), and add the following line to the main timeline of your source file:

#include viewFlashSource.as

You can then specify the source URL through the flashParams HTML tag / attribute.

There are two values you can specify:

flashSource : Points to a URL to download the source for the contnet.
contentLicense : Points to the distribution / re-use license for the content.

i tried to redesign my website today and started to use a lot of :hover elements in my css to make my TDs borders highlight when you hover over them
of course, i designed it all in mozilla firefox, so as soon as i tried it in IE it broke :(

i spent about an hour googling for helpful websites, and all i've come up with is javascript code to put in the td mouseOver tag

is there a better or easier way to make IE work with :hover in CSS?
if not, what is the best way of getting round this lack of :hover support in IE?

Hey there.

I was trying to figure out how to make a specific type of form for my website. With this kind of form, when you click on 'submit', the data gets sent to me via email, and the page you filled in the form on, changes to another page (something like 'thank you for filling out the form!', etc).

So far, the only forms I've managed to figure out that send data to me via email doesn't do so as smoothly as the one I want. Instead, a prompt comes up to okay sending the data via email, and then the default email program loads, and then it gets sent that way (that was a rather convoluted description, wasn't it? sorry about that, hope it makes sense...).

Anyway, here's an example of the kind of form I'd like to be able to make (scroll to the bottom):
http://www.wolverineandrogue.com/fic/dbfiction.php?fiction_id=241

If you want to test it out, it's configured to send to me, so I don't mind. I just can't figure out how to make something that functions in a similar way, so I'd really appreciate any help anyone can offer me.

Also, does anyone know if Geocities allows PHP? Thank you!

Site Owners often detest the fact that google caches an old copy of their site and displays it on searches which brings up the site pages. A simple way to prevent robots (including Google, Yahoo etc.) from caching your site contents is to include the following within the head section of your web page.

(You've probably heard that title before).

I'm not a computer whiz. So I'm hoping someone can help me.

I have a Dell with a Windows XP Home Edition. Lately my computer's been behaivng badly, but my main problem is my beef with AIM. Every time I go to the AIM website and try to download it, it takes an hour or so (well, I have dial-up.) Then it begins to install. Then...it freezes. Just freezes. Every time I try to download AIM, it does this.
I know AIM works on my computer, because it did work before. I had to do a complete reinstall of my entire system recently, so that's why AIM is gone. I am desperate! Plz and thank you.

I'm working on developing custom error pages for a client of ours, and I'm working on trying to have the various errors point to different ASP pages that have scripts that email out to tech support that an error occurred on the website. Obviously the only way (that I know of) to test these error pages is to regenerate the errors. Producing a 404 error is easy, but how would I go about reproducing a 503 (Server Unavailable) error or a 500 (Internal Server Error) error? Also, the way I currently have it set up is that the error pages are all in my /Scripts folder and I was wondering if there was a way to be able to grab the site that the person was trying to go to. So for example someone tries to go to www.fake.com/as9daijoi which doesn't exist. The custom error page comes up, and sends out an email to tech support saying that they were TRYING to navigate to www.fake.com/as9daijoi but couldn't. I have it grabbing their IP address, the time, and any referring pages that there were. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

This is on IIS 5.1 with WinXP SP2, developing in InterDev and using AspMail 4.0 for email.

Hi! I think this might be my first time posting to these communities, but hopefully something good will come out of it.

I am the online editor/webmaster for a newspaper that just recently decided they want to set up an EZ Pay option on the website for customers to subscribe with.

I have set up a shopping cart with Mal's E-Commerse and am now trying to build the correct forms/secure pages to gather the information from in order to store it in the shopping carts...and then later process the orders by hand.

So basically my question is this: What is the easiest and most reliable way to go about getting the information page up and running? Is there somewhere on the web that can kind of guide my doing this by hand though a program like Dreamweaver MX?

Thanks for any input.
