You may soon view TV shows directly over the Web instead of subscribing to cable or satellite services.

Does anyone here use Textwrangler for making websites? Is there a way to download one for a PC (because I think this program is for Mac)? I am trying to finish an assignment at home, but I don't have Textwrangler. All I need are the tags which Textwrangler gives you when you create a new document. These tags are html beginning and end tags, head tags, as well as meta and something else, I think. I need these tags for my website to be validated by http://validator.w3.org

Whenever I try to use Notepad or Microsoft Frontpage to make a website, it never validates. There is always something wrong with the meta tags or encoding tags--things like that.

Hey, I may not have said this, or I don't say it enough, but I wanted to thank everyone in this community for their continued support and efforts. I would be the first to admit that when I find myself with any questions or in need of an honest (most of the time) professional opinion, this is where I tend to stop first.



I work for a higher education provider who has recently put a new state wide internet campaign together. This meant that all regions throughout the state came together and had to adhere to a standard format for all web publications. To me, this was a great move, however, we are still very limited to the type of tools we can utilize for creating web documents. For example, right now we are needing to publish our college bookstore book list online. The bookstore is currently using a very large and extensive Access database to handle all bookstore events. Each semester, or when a new book is added/deleted/edited to the book list, we publish an excel version of this book list and push that to our website, as is. We are now finding that this method is difficult to track, manage and keep current. It's a waste of time, really.

Here's what they are asking me, if we are able to update the database and have it also update the web at the same time?

Well my answer was yes, then no, and here's why.

Our network group has restricted all scripting except for Javascript and CGI/Perl. I'm pretty sure we are running Apache on a Unix box, with nothing like PHP installed. I really don't think Javascript could be used for this, however, I don't know it enough to really make anything happen. The same goes for me when it comes to CGI/Perl.

I do, however, know that I could accomplish this utilizing the Access database and PHP. Somethings I do know. But since I don't have the tools available to me that I know best, what other options could I use? Any suggestions?

To those who had been following sunbird_news, the blogging is now in a new blog at MozillaZine under the title Calendar Weblog, available at mozine_cal_blog.

While at MozillaZine getting the new URL, I looked over the other blogs to find a good one to add as a feed.  It ultimately came down to Blogzilla, a blog of tips and news for the Mozilla line.  I entered the URL on the syndication page, and found it already had readers.  So I'm just getting the word out there about blogzilla_feed.

Happy Wednesday!

Hi,
I would like to add a chat program to my company's website. I would like a user to be able to click a button and then a chat window pops up on my bosses/customer service's computer and the user's computer. They can then converse about sales and so on. Each user should have a unique window, not like a chat room full of people.

Can anyone recommend a free PHP program to handle this or a licensed program. Thanks in advance.

I'm working on a website to showcase the findings for one of my final grad school projects. I'm open to any and all criticisms so I can try to make this look better / more appealing. Is the font choice for the navigation/title too much of an eyesore? Would you want to sit and look at this thing for a while?

Don't mind the pages 1-20 thing on the bottom of the screen. That's going to disappear.

Please look. You don't have to go easy on me.. I'd really appreciate the feedback! Since I'm not a designer my feelings won't be hurt. :)



I'm leaning more towards this one:


This was my initial design. Do the colors work better? I'm mainly concerned with the colors in this one as I know the nav looks horrible in this one. :)




Thanks!! x-posted

Hey all,

Got a question which to some of you knowledgeable peeps out there might seem silly and foolish, then again it may not.

As there are always the punters out there who continue to set their computers to lower resolutions than those considered "acceptable", is there a script (be it HTML, Java etc) which detects the resolution of the viewers PC and "suggests" or auto-loads the most specific one from a collection of differently rendered web pages?

Thanks and apologies if this is a silly question.

Cheers

M

Alright, I've been doing freelance Graphic Design for about 4 years now. All the websites I've made have been for friends, so when I finish them I give them the files on a disc and they then upload them themselves. My question is, if I do a site for a client how would "give it to them" ?

Could anyone explain to me how I would go about transferring my domain name from GoDaddy to Dreamhost? Domain registration confuses the hell out of me, and unsurprisingly, I couldn't find anything on GoDaddy that tells me how to transfer out of their service and into someone else's. And would the process be the same for my other domain registered at iPowerWeb?

Thanks for the help.

Hi guys,

I've spent the last two days sourcing the web for a javascript form validator. I'm pretty decent with php, which is why I've avoided using js for so long (I just did all my validation server-side), but I find myself in need now.

As you might guess, I've found heaps and heaps of js form validators, but none of them are quite right. In a nutshell, I'm looking for a single function that I can use <form ... onSubmit="return validate(this);"> to validate ANY form across my site. I want to check

• presence of any data (for required fields)


• valid date format (dd/mm/yyyy OR mm/yyyy)


• check that an "EndDate" field is greater than a "StartDate" field


• valid time format (h:mm or hh:mm or HH:MM)


• valid currency format ($DD or $DD.cc)


• valid number format (no alpha characters)


• valid state (QLD OR NSW OR ACT OR VIC OR TAS OR NT OR SA OR WA)


• valid 4-digit post code (exactly four numbers)


• valid email address format


• valid selection (from a element)
  
  valid choice (from either radio buttons or checkboxes)
  
  
  
  I'd also like error messages to be condensed into a single alert window (so that if two fields are invalid, the alert window will display both error messages.
  
  Ideally, I'd also like the script to literally highlight (with a background-color change) any invalid fields when it's run.
  
  Does anyone know where I can find such a script. Sadly, I don't have the resources for a paid option on this. If I can't find a free one, I'll need to spend a few more days crawling the net for scripts I can reverse-engineer and re-write to meet this specification.
  
  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  New and a question...

  Hey I just joinned the group and I have a little question, a few weeks ago my sound card's driver got deleted , not sure how it did but I'm guessing was by either a vrius attack or one of ym stupid siblings. But anyways I open it up to check inside and its an onboard sound card all it says on it is Foxconn and on the side 1304B, so I looked around to see if the 1304B was the card name got nothing, so I then went to foxconn's website to look it up there and they had nothing about sound cards. Has anyone came around this problem and have input on how to solve it and where I might be able to find the driver? Thanks a ton in advance!

  possible web design business?
  

  Date: 11/06/05 (Web Development)    Keywords: web

  I don't know if this is where this should be posted--if not, please direct me to a proper community. :\
  
  Recently a friend of mine started a portrait photography business, and I offered to build a website for it. Now there are at least three people who are interested in hiring me to build their websites! This looks like a golden opportunity to jump into the web design business.
  
  I have been tinkering with websites in some fashion for four years, mostly using free/cheapo programs, and during the last year, Dreamweaver. I do not know how to make flash and have zero interest in learning it as I consider it 'web pollution.' I've used PSP 6-8 for four years and recently switched to GIMP (b/c I got an eMac!), plus Adobe Photoshop Essentials 2. I'm not a rocket scientist, but I'm a quick learner and am willing to do [almost] anything to please a customer. It is THEIR website.
  
  That being said...I'm looking for information on this matter as it's the first time people have wanted to pay me for building a site. What should I charge? HOW to start a business (I don't want trouble with the IRS :P). If anyone has suggestions or links for me to look at, it would be very appreciated.
