hullo, i was wondering how i could get files, for example mp3s from band websites, to not download to temporary internet files (tif). i can never find them if i don't go looking, and would like to send them to c or d drive.

also, i am afraid to delete any tif in case i lose the song or file, even after i've sort-of saved it to realplayer/windows media. will i lose to music in these medias if i delete some or any tif?

can anyone please tell me what to do to change the location of where the files go to?

Hi people! I'd just want to ask if there's an open source web app (forum) that enables users to post thru email. I know there are wikis / blogs, but are there forums / message boards that have this functionality?

Due to the recent events which transpired in a recent post of mine (which I'm sure you've all read through by now), and also the recent outcry for or against usability, table-less css sites, and everyone aspiring for perfectly valid HTML sites... I've decided to post this link I found last night. I think its worth a look. Please don't think I'm anti-usability, pro-tables, and pro-crappy HTML. My point is that people harp and harp on these issues way more than they should... IMHO.

Quotes:

"Mystical belief in the power of Web Standards, Usability, and tableless CSS"

"Remember, nobody gets excited about the tools used to build a house ("Please tell me what brand of hammers you used!"). People get excited about how the house looks and performs."

"I learned quickly that business executives didn't care about usability testing or information design"

"There seems to be a cult belief that if we use Web Standards, usability, and tableless CSS, our web sites will make money, we'll be famous (or at least cool), and our sites will look great. It isn't that easy."

Yesterday I had an interview at a great web design firm here. The interview went great, and I'm going back in on Tuesday for a second interview. One of the only things that was a "negative mark" for me was that I don't know how to code in PHP (I know, I know..."get with the times dumbass!"), however, I learn incredibly fast and I decided after the interview that I would make sure I have a solid understanding of the language before I go into the second interview on Tuesday.

I spent all day yesterday reading books and web sites about PHP and MySQL and I'm already able to write relatively simple scripts without relying on references. What I'm looking for now are web sites that have something more intermediate that I could try my hand at (as opposed to the basic lessons most websites give...which are typically based around the same concepts). I've found that I usually learn better when I get the basics of a language down and then jump into stuff a bit over my head...struggling makes me try harder and helps things stick in my head.

Anyone know of a website or two with good, advanced PHP lessons?

Alright, new idea.

Since It's come to my attention that I need a great deal more knowledge in web-based "things" than I thought, I'm starting this. I assume lots others are in my boat. I sit here and make sites trying to be as artistic and creative as possible. Unfortunatly for me, I know nothing of accessability, table-less design, valid-HTML techniques, or anything like that. On the "technical" end of things, I'm quite the newbie. All I know is HTML, a SMALL amount of CSS, ASP with dreamweaver's help, and uhh... thats it pretty much. I'm totally in the dark when It comes to making sites without dreamweaver, flash, and fireworks... and still making the site look appealing.

So here's my idea. I need resources teaching me how to build better sites. I need sites teaching me how to make sites more accessable to disabled viewers, how to get away from poor HTML coding, the best ways to make table-less web sites... I need the works. Like I said before, I assume lots of people are in this boat with me. So I figure that all you experts out there can reply to this thread with some resources you use frequently, and wish to share with me/us, and all the designers out there can bookmark this thread for future use. Get me?

I posted a while back asking about CSS use for table-less sites, and got terrific replies. I still have that bookmarked.

Excuse the lofty request, but I want to learn!

Instead of googling all this, I figure lots of people on this forum can offer great resources... you have before.

Thanks in advance, to anyone who contributes.

:)
