Okay, all you Acrobat people....
I'm having a bit of trouble figuring something out.
A client wants a basic PDF form that clients can download, fill out, and have results e-mailed to him. (Note: He does not have Acrobat.)
Supposedly, this is a simple task, but I'm not getting something right, apparently.
I'm familiar enough with Acrobat (I have Acrobat 7), but after checking out the Acrobat Bible, I didn't find that much information on how to get a form to submit properly via e-mail if the submitee does not have Acrobat. I've tried pretty much everything logical that I can figure out, but can't get the form to submit properly.
At first, I routed the Submit action to a php formmail script that did send an e-mail to the desired recipient (albeit a blank one)....

Is there anything else I can do, or does the client simply have to have Acrobat installed in order to import/view submitted form data?

Any help is much appreciated...I hope I'm being clear enough. bah.

Thanks!!!

An example of wrong usage of AJAX aka XmlHttpRequest based web applications - TinkingTeam Corporate Website. Here the menu content is dynamically fetched using Ajax. This is bad because: Search engines like google cannot see it. Users cannot bookmark the pages. It doesn't indicate anything is happening, which can be bothering over slow connections. This can be remedied [...]

We often talk about understanding an application from code and unit tests with catch phrases like - "code is the documentation". In my experience I haven't found a better and more concise documentation then reading the SQL schema for any application, assuming it has one. Today I was looking at Fatima - a weblogging software.

Last night I upgraded Opera from 7.54 u2 to 8.0 (on Fedora FC3).

Starting Opera ... begins to draw the 7 (or so) windows open from the last session ... crashes.

Run it from the command line - same thing - only output is "Segmentation fault". :(

Restart with only the home page (http://www.livejournal.com/) = OK. Some toolbars aren't shown (Main & Status) so turn them on. Close window; new window; enter my web site's URL (http://www.henman.ca/) - crashes!

Restart with just home page again; close window; new window; http://www.henman.ca/ = OK now. Open multiple new windows - OK. Close opera.

Restart opera with the windows that were left open when I shutdown v7.54u2 (i.e. use saved session) - OK!?

OK, I don't understand why, but without actually changing anything, it's seems OK now!

One thing though - the fonts appear to be different. Not worse, just different. Curious.

Spoke to soon! It's now crashing every time I try to restart it. :(


That's it! I've had enough!
# rpm --erase opera
# rpm -Uvh opera-7.54-20050131.5-shared-qt.i386-en.rpm (because I happen to keep RPMs that I download!)

Back to v7.54u2 :)


[Meanwhile, over on the Win2k box, v8 is just fine!]

Ok, I'm wondering if anyone knows how I would center the content of a web page in my browser. I tried changing the left hand margin, but if the browser gets smaller, it means I have to horizontal scroll to see alll of the content. Is there a way of centering so that it moves with the browser size?

The only problem I've had with Opera 8 is that my custom search doesn't work anymore. (It worked perfectly with all public beta versions of 8.) You type in "d help" and it queries www.m-w.com for the word "help." It's quite handy.

This is the code I was using:

[Search Engine 32]
Name=&Merriam-Webster Dictionary
URL=http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=%s&submit
Key=d
Is post=0
Has endseparator=0
Encoding=utf-8
Search Type=0
Verbtext=17063
Position=-1
Nameid=0
Query=

Now it doesn't work no matter what I try. I don't use individual profiles, so all my settings like this are in C:\program files\opera\profile - but just in case I put it in the main Opera folder in Program Files, as well. Anyone have any ideas?

Hello, my name is Lindsay and I am not new to this community...but more like a lurker ;) I currently work as the online editor/webmaster for my city's newspaper, and I do a lot of freelance web and graphic design on the side.

Recently I was asked by a neighboring county's city board to construct an informational website for them from scratch....design, logos, coding and all. This project will more than likely come out to no more than 20 or so pages, and basic layout/design scheme with all artwork done by myself.

I was instructed to let them know what my charges are...and I am at a loss. I am still in the transitional period where I am still getting used to being PAID for my efforts (not just making the trade for services and portfolio material)...and I have little knowledge of the fair market value on a professional website such as this.

Any suggestions?

They also asked me to name my rate for weekly/monthly updates needed. Where I will be paid that rate per hour for the time it takes me to drive to the county (15 mins), the time it takes me to finish the updates and maintenance, and the drive home.

Please help!

I finally got my website finished enough that I could post it. I didn't try to get fancy with it, I just wanted to present the facts with a little bit of style. As with most of my websites, I am already tired of this one, and have already started redesigning it in my head. Until that happens, I guess I'll leave this one up for a bit. I still need to make a few more tweeks to it, add a few more pieces to the "work" page, and make the "other" page which will contain odd projects and links to other stuff of mine (like photo's and things).

Hi everyone, I am new to this community and fairly new to live journal. I work full time as a web designer, but have recently started my own site trying to get some local business. My site is www.code9design.com.

My question is does anyone have any good ideas about how to generate business other than through search engine optimization? I really think my potential clients would be happy with the quality of work they get for the price they pay, I just need to get clients!

I obviously don’t have much money to spend on advertising, I was thinking about getting in the local yellow pages. Does anyone else have any good ideas? I would take any suggestions for my site also, thanks.

Hey guys. Newbie here. I've run into a little problem that's baffling me and I'm hoping someone would have some advice.

I've been maintaining and updating the company I work for's website for more than a year now(It wasn't created by me). It's quite heavy with PHP programming. Anyway, the link section, which appears at the top of every page of the site, is a template. The other day, I wanted to add a new link into the template(as I've done many times before). When I saved it, and it updated the template across all the pages, it gave me the following error on the index.php(the main) page:

"There is an error at line 47, column 29(absolute position 2040) of "C:\Website Name\index.php": Duplicate editable regions of name "head"."

I'm really stumped by this, because firstly I didn't make any changes to index.php, secondly I didn't add another editable region to it either, and thirdly, the only coding at line 47 of the index page is "!-- InstanceEndEditable --, between tags. I also can't get rid of the extra editable region, because it shows up as grey, locked coding on the index.php page, and it does not show up in the coding of the template page at all.

Any help/advice would really be appreciated.

I'm hoping someone in this community may be able to help me. I cannot uninstall a program.

This program has made it so I can't access websites and will shut down my browser instead. I have ran my antivirus program and my spware program without any luck. Basically, I just want this thing off my computer.

Here are some screenshots of the problem.
