hey, there. i'm trying to put a form e-mailer on a website and i'm sooo confused. i don't know html that well, so i was kinda just hoping to find a cut and paste type thing - maybe that's not how an e-mail form works? i just want a basic thing that has a space for name, e-mail, how you found me, anything else you want to see on the website, and any comments. nothing too fancy. does anyone know how to do this easily or know of a website where someone with a limited knowledge of html could develop one of these? thanks so much!

Is it possible to have a visitor to my website send me an attachment using PHP?

I am working on an idea from my website which would require anonymity from my intended visitors.
I want them to be able to send me a small image file, without having to use their email address and therefore remain unknown.

Is this do-able?
If it is ... can I specify which kind of files can not be attached (and bypass any gits who try and send viruses)?

If it can't be done, I might have to use http://www.yousendit.com/ whichh seems to be anonymous for the sender.

*edited note* as it is when I get an email form sent via my site, it comes back with the email address "tehsheepie@pro18.abac.com" because I don't ask people to specify - I think it just grabs this from my site somehow. I'm not smart enough to know the how, or why, but I know that is always the email address used when I get my forms back.

I have run into a problem regarding when two div ends at two different lengths when I want them to end at the right position no matter what is in the div. For example, if you'll notice on http://webentrapments.com/caseyandjenn/index.html that everything is laid out correctly like I want it. The two div meet the footer div. However, on a page with longer content such as http://webentrapments.com/caseyandjenn/about.html the two div end but the content from one of the div keeps flowing over everything below it. Previously I used minimum-height to fix the issue but I wanted to see if there was another work around to this. Thanks!

Ok so Im trying to use blogger.com as a means to provide my client with an easily updatable NEWS section that will auto-post to the website I am designing for him.

The blogger.com site is http://vmnews.blogspot.com/

I read a little and found that I can link to this: http://vmnews.blogspot.com/atom.xml for use in my client's site. I would link that source into the news section or whatever,

As you can see the top link looks fine, and is formatted as I want it. The bottom link looks totally different, and I can't find out how to edit the looks of it. Also, linking the bottom link to my site displays that big ugly yellow box at the top of the news sections. This is really ugly, and unexceptable.

How do I do this? Im sure there are people out there that use blogger for these type of things.

HELP!

I was just reading this explanation on google maps and thought this quote was interesting:

"I also think it bears noting that Google is pulling out all the stops to build rich web apps, no matter how weirdly they have to hack the browser to make them go. And I strongly believe that this is a trend that is here to stay -- XHTML Strict/CSS/etc be damned. At the end of the day, what really matters to users is compelling apps that let them get their work done quickly."

I am currently hosting my web site with powweb, the problem is that I am outgrowing its feature set. I’m working on some applications that need the MySQL InnoDB table type, or at least would find it very useful. Does anyone know of a hosting provider that supports the following:

PHP 5.0x
MySQL 4.1.x With InnoDB
Apache (1.3 or 2.0 would be fine)

Ideally running linux or BSD

I run a mixed content website with a couple of my friends.  One of those friends knows html and some basic php.  I know html and some basic php and some css.  The third friend knows nothing.

I'm looking for a CMS that we can use to update our site.

www.thisisjerkass.com

That's our site, as you can see we have articles, videos, etc.  I'm just looking for a way to make posts on the front page a lot easier.  As of now, I have to edit four files just to put it up there and archive it.  I can't use just a regular blogging cms because the format of the site isn't exactly a blog.  Anyone have any suggestions?

Okay, so those of you that haven't heard yet, the title is true. Adobe is to Acquire Macromedia - for 3.4 billion.

This, I think, will bring about a change on the web - we remember that Macromedia didn't make flash themselves, they bought it... And now with the latest developments with Adobe.... *wipes forehead* Adobe has a lot of muscle. A hell of a lot.

*grin* Adobe Flash. Adobe Flex. Doesn't really have the same ring to it, does it?
