Is there any sort of Firefox extension that allows me to use a hand tool, like the one available when viewing PDF files, while viewing webpages? Like, maybe something that I can toggle on and off? I don't have a scroll wheel on my trackball, and I've found that the way the hand tool scrolls through the pages seems more intuitive to me than using the standard scrollbar.

Thanks. :)

Edit: Someone pointed out Scrollbar Anywhere to me. I've installed it, edited the needed values in about:config, yet it still seems to be doing nothing. Haha. Any info on this?

i've got a little problem with msn. up until last night everything worked fine. i usually use msn explorer as opposed to internet explorer too, and have never had any problems.
so last night i signed in for five minutes, and then signed out, everything's fine. a little while later my brother goes to use it and suddenly it's not working and i'm receiving this pop up: Signing in to MSN Messenger failed because the service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later. 800b0001.

i tried to sign in a few more times later and i got this message again, along with another pop up that said something along the lines of it being a problem cause by either theirs or my connection.

so i couldn't log into msn explorer, and instead went to internet explorer. which worked, except when signing into hotmail, the main page would show up fine but as soon as i tried to log in, i got a cannot find server page.
the only other site this happened with was eBay. everything else was fine.

we rang our interent providery person and they told us to do a few things, none of which worked. i ended up getting mozilla firefox at the advice of the help person.
so now i can log into hotmail and what not, but msn is still not working. i uninstalled the version we have and installed it again via the website, but it seems to be worse/slower than the old one. gah.

i know of at least one other person this is happening to.

so is it msn that's screwy or is my computer munted?

thanks, Haylor.

So, to continue from yesterday's post about using not-so-safe fonts in browsers, I had a few suggestions to sIFR to use Univers on my company's web site. I want to know how long did it take you all to learn it. Did it take a week to understand it and fully customize it for your needs or just a few days? My company's site needs to be posted by the end of the week and I'm not sure there's enough time for me to learn a new technology. If sIFR is going to take a while, I'll just use Arial and futz with CSS to make it look a little more like Univers.

What say you all? Thanks.

I am looking for web-designers. A friend of mine and I are starting a design company. I am going to be doing back-ends using SiMX's Target platform (www.simx.com) and she will be securing clients and handling the PR.

We would like to create a library of designers to present to our clients + we need a design for our site (black+gold preferred, but not imperative).

1. If you send us a mock-up design and we choose you, you become one of our primary designers (naturally). We are running on a tight budget so would prefer if this was a free gig that would take exposure as compensation (read on for why this might be worth it).

2. If you send us a mock-up and we don't choose it, but like it, it will be added to our library and you will be called upon if one of our clients likes your work.

3. You are also welcome to send us your portfolio, a link to which would be posted on our site if we like it.

About the venture: I have been working with SiMX on a platform (TARGET) for rapid data-driven web-app development. The competitive edge will be in the speed with which applications will be developed and adjusted to our clients' needs. Statistically, TARGET accelerates development by 3-5 times, but this will increase as the platform evolves. It has already been used to deliver services for companies ranging from small business to Fortune 500 clients. Check out some demos at www.simx.com/simx/home_demos.htm

I am hoping that this venture will turn into an active web-development workshop.

About my partner: she's a Japanese model with, what looks like, pretty extensive connections and good business presence. That combined with the speed with which applications will be developed may be a perfect blend.

Also, if you could recommend good web-design communities/resources for either contacts or designs, I would be greatful.

Please feel free to contact me at nikita@simx.com

Hi everybody!

I have a question about Active Directory in .NET
For my project I need to fetch results from Active Directory search page by page, because later I would need to bind it to the pageable DataGrid.

I tried to use .NET library DirectoryServices for that, but paging provided by this library is transparent to the user and is used only to increase the efficiency of searching, when results are too big. I.e. I cannot tell the DirectorySearcher to give me first page, then the next or previous page, it returns me all resulting pages in one bundle.

However, what I need is to explicitely get page after page directly from the AD searcher and to be able to go at least one page forward or backward.

The solution with copying all results to the DataBase and then do the paging is not accepeted by the clent, since it is too inefficient. And since it's a Web app, I cannot keep results in memory either.

I found some hints about COM Interface, but I could not find good and detailed examples or explanations.

If somebody could help me out with that problem, any suggestion is welcome, 'cause this issue is eating me alive :)

Thank you!

I have a web form i have build to submit to another page
and it keeps trying to submit to the inital form page even
though the action is set to pagetwo.aspx.

I made a simple test form from the book and that doesn't
submit either, here follows the code but it appears to just
ignore the action command in the form and submit PageOne.aspx
to PageOne.aspx? any thoughts?

PageOne.aspx

[%@ Page Language="vb" Debug="true" %]

I recently bought a domain and one week afterwards I opened my inbox to discover that the domain was being used as return addresses (they're using random non-existent usernames@my domain) for spam selling discounted (and probably pirated) software. I've informed my webhost about this and they've provided me with some information on how to report this ("Determine the appropriate abuse department(s) responsible for the message source and any URL's or email addresses used as a contact point by the spammer." "send FORGERY complaints to the abuse addresses. Many abuse departments will consider forgery a more serious TOS violation than sending UCE.") but despite having thousands of e-mails with full header information I can't find an originating IP address as most addresses in the "received from" seem to be local ISP addresses from across the world.

I have had better luck with WHOIS and nslookup, in that I know where the site is hosted (a legitimate host in Jordan) and have the registration details (a suspiciously long PO box in Beirut) but without a way of proving that the person with the discounted software websites is also responsbile for the spam and spoofing I don't really have a leg to stand on here. :(

Anyone been in my situation before or have any advice?

Hi!  I'm new to this community.


I am currently a graphic designer taking classes at RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) for web design and development.  I've completed most of the DESIGN aspects of the certificate program and am working on the PROGRAMMING/CODING part.

My only experience with programming of any sort comes from these classes... "Actionscript in Flash" and "Javascript for Non-programmers."  Any other HTML I know is what I've picked up from LJ and using the dual split screen in Dreamweaver.

I am for sure enrollling in the HTML class.  But the PHP class I want to take (two in one semester would be ideal) has an HTML prereq.

Can I handle it?
How hard is learning PHP?
Should I take the two classes simultaneously this fall semester?
Or should I take the HTML class, let it soak in until next spring, and then do the PHP?

Pros to PHP now...
1) I know someone in the class
2) I'd hopefully be able to incorporate what I learn into a website I'm supposed to create this fall...

Cons to PHP now...
1) Getting totally and completely lost and not learning anything from the class...

Thanks for your help and opinions.  I'd really appreciate it!

I'm trying to redo my website to php, including my blog. What scripting language are Blogger tags in if not PHP? I see placeholder tags such as < $ BloggerFileName $ > (sans the spaces) and I'm trying to understand it so I can successfully migrate that code from my html page to my new php page, and eventually make my own layout/ template for it. When I tried that and viewed it on my test site it only displayed the code and not the blog entries.

I'm currently thinking of simply including the blogger.html file and not trying to make it a php page.

Any hints or ideas as for deciphering Blogger's code?
