Hello ^^


...I know that this isn't a question based on actual web desiging, but...it does have todo with coding and whatnot ^^;


In any case, I would like to make a 88x31 button rotation, and I forgot how to make a button rotate for a button rotation. Something like this:

I haven't been doing web design for a few years and I just want to be sure that I cover all my bases. Which browsers should I test on. I've got Firefox, Netscape, Internet Explorer and Opera. Are there anymore that you would recommend? Is there a browser that I didn't mention that you think is fantastic? Let me know. Also, I use Microsoft Windows XP (PC) because I know sometimes Mac/PC factors into what people think is or isn't wonderful.

Greets folks. Work has been slow recently, so I decided to give the website an overhaul. Personally I think it's quite busy and cramped and well... laid out with tables. It was basically built from a template before my arrival.

Anyway, here's what I have come up with and I'm looking for a crit and such. If you have anything you like or dislike, by all means let me know. I'm trying to simplify things while maintaining the current info.

So, be harsh if you must, I won't get offended. Thanks all.

P.S. For some reason, the Give to the College button is wonky in Mozilla-browsers for Mac (Why? I don't know.) Also, the conditional will not load the specific IE 6 style (Why? I don't know.). Other than that, I believe everything works in most browsers as well as validates.

I'm at my wits end with this script.   I want to check values in an array, along with other data in a form.  I've simplified the actual script. 

When I added a simple in_array function it breaks a second array in the script.   Tested seperately the in_array works perfectly.  As does the basic form validation.  Put the two together and poof it dies. 

help?

Hello lovelies,

I have posted in this community before and have received some fantastic help. However, I seem to have gotten myself stuck again on the same problem.

It has to deal with centering my layout, using CSS. After reading some of the help posted here I realized that placing as much into css is really best for my site. However, my layout -refuses- to center properly.

Which leads me to two questions.

1) What am I doing incorrectly as far as centering the overall layout. (Yes, I am taking out the background before it is being published to the public.)

2) Once I get the layout centered, how do I get my layer1 div that is scrolling to adjust itself to the dimensions of the screen? I want it in a particular place no matter where the layout is centered too. How can I make this work?

3) I have tired to get this layer1 to work using css, but whenever I attempt to do so it ends up being extremely wonky. Wonky as in the wrong size, and positioned under the layout as if it is not a layer.

Whoops. Sorry, that was three. I can count, really!

I really, really appreciate the help. Thank you.

I have no idea what the "official" name is of what I want to do.

I'm looking for the best (and easy) way to create a login (database?) system for a website. Basically a form that someone fills out (email addy, login name, password) to register.

I feel like such a moron, but anyone know of any great resources on-line or books that can explain how to do this?

Currently the body tag is in an un-editable region... if I try to make the tag editable the app either says its in an editable region - which it is not. Or, it makes everything between and editable.

How do I make it so I can add attributes to without making the everything between and editable?

Thanks.

Hello everyone, I am trying to finish up this project tonight and I am so stressed about not figuring this out. I think I'm attempting something simple:

- I have several different scenes in one flash file.
- Each scene has a movie.
- There is a movie control that lets you pause and play the movie, or lets you go to the previous or next scene.
- Right now the pause/play buttons work, but the previous and next buttons don't
**Ideally, I'd just like the controls to know to go to the nextScene or prevScene versus telling it exactly the name of the scene to go to.

Having said that, I'd really like an expert opinion as to what I should do. How do I connect these scenes together, allowing the user to move from scene to scene? I'd just like the code to simply go to nextScene on release, but this is not working. I'm no actionscripter, just trying to find an easy approach to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!



Main stage where the first movie is located


The movie control is a movie, play and pause are toggled on each other and DO work


Previous and Next buttons don't work

I am looking for a program or a script (or anything really) that will give me some functionality like excel. Basically, I am making a list of names and each name will have about 10 columns of information with yes or no in them, and I want to be able to sort this alphabetically, or by one of the other columns as well.

Is this even possible in web forms? I know you can do it with web based emails (like sorting by name, date, or size) but I am not sure if you can do it with other information, or how.

Thanks. :)

Hi!
Now I am having problems with adding the date to my page.
I have java script that works fine with Firefox, but won't show up in IE.
Could there be a conflict in the html with scripts/coding in the page, that is only a problem in IE?

here is a sample page... take a look at it in firefox, then i IE. The date should appear (in spanish) at the top right corner).
http://www.ecologhical.com/html/testpage.shtml

if anyone could look at the coding... and let me know if you see anything obviously 'off'... I would be very very grateful! TIA :)

It's been awhile since I've dabbled in webdesign, the last time I officially did... was well, hell a long time ago and on a completely different computer element called MSNTV. I used to be able to gather loads and loads of easy to follow websites through the search engine there with ease however I can't seem to find any website that makes the different types of webdesign stuff make much sense. I can also blame this on my brain, it seems to have come to a downfall of hell.

Anyway, all I'm asking is what websites or guides have you used in order to get started or back on track? Not just the usual here's your colored background and well placed text, pictures and stuff either. I'd appreciate any websites you can direct me to. Thanks. 3>

I have a webpage I'm building where the background has one color, and the content, offset from the center, has a different color behind it.

My content is dynamic, so I can't specify different CSS classes based on the page.

For long pages, I need the background colors to reach from the top of the browser to the bottom... simple, add a "min-height" to the body and let the color stretch with the content on the child div.

But if I want to have this same set-up on short pages, the min height will stretch the bodys color but the childs background color stays short and just around the content. If I change the bodys and child to height:100%, it'll work, but the color will stop on long pages where you have to scroll. And apparently you can't nest min-heights, to have both body and child have a minimum height of 100%.

I tried doing the "faux-columns" effect by adding a repeating background image to the body which would have a min-height 100% added. But the problem is my content is offset from center, and I can't position (I think) offset from center.

I've also tried not defining heights anywhere but the child div, and have the child div have a min-height:100%, but that apparently won't expand the parent elements.

I feel like I'm missing something simple. Help!

Hello all, I have been asked to work on a demo and have decided to use Flash. I'm a bit rusty, and thought some of you might have more insight as to how I could do this. The premise of the demo is to demonstrate a few scenarios. The only real interaction the user has with the demo is the ability to select a scenario from a drop-down menu, or click on next to continue or back to go back. Here are the main elements for what I need to show:

- A loader of some type (I have never implemented one)
- A drop-down selection menu allowing the user to jump from scenario to scenario
- Back and forward buttons allowing the user to proceed to the next scenario after the current scenario is finished.





Any tutorials you can recommend to help lay a good foundation for this would be appreciated!

Hi guys!

Here is the site that I am working on: http://www.deaduntildusk.com/ventrue.

The overall layout is designed to fit 1024 x 768, but it seems that it looks awful in higher resolutions. So it brings me to this question: how can you make a layout fit in larger views?

Should I install a code that automaticlay resizes it to the correct dimensions? Any thoughts would be highly appreciated!!

On a search page I have a list of type_ids seperated by meta_category_ids. Users can select one or more type_ids, one or more meta_category_is, or any combination. It works just fine, except when a user selects one of the type_ids, then selects the meta_category_id above. Doing so "reverses" the checkboxes in the subgroup.

Paste this in your IDE to see what I mean..

<form id='searchform' name='searchform' action='search.php' method=post> <script language=javascript> function select_subgroup(variable) { var form = document.forms.searchform; for (var i=0; i<form.elements.length; i++) { if (form.elements[i].id == variable) { if ( form.elements[i].checked==true ) { form.elements[i].checked = false; form.elements[i].disabled = false; } else { form.elements[i].checked = true; form.elements[i].disabled = true; } } } } </script> <p><input type=checkbox name=test2 value=3 id='somethingelse' style='margin-bottom:0px;'> different checkbox <hr> <p><input type=checkbox name=test3 value=4 id='somethingelse2' style='margin-bottom:0px;'> a different different checkbox <hr> <p><input type=checkbox name=meta_category_id value='5' style='margin-bottom:0px;' onClick="select_subgroup('5');"> <b>Administrative</b> <p style='margin-left:10px; margin-bottom:10px; margin-top:5px;'> <input type=checkbox name=type_id[] value='13' id='5' style='margin-bottom:0px;'> Other </p> <p><input type=checkbox name=meta_category_id value='3' style='margin-bottom:0px;' onClick="select_subgroup('3');"> <b>Clinic</b> <p style='margin-left:10px; margin-bottom:10px; margin-top:5px;'> <input type=checkbox name=type_id[] value='9' id='3' style='margin-bottom:0px;'> Genetic Counselor <br> <input type=checkbox name=type_id[] value='19' id='3' style='margin-bottom:0px;'> Hospital Hearing Educator <br> <input type=checkbox name=type_id[] value='10' id='3' style='margin-bottom:0px;'> Medical Geneticist <br> <input type=checkbox name=type_id[] value='5' id='3' style='margin-bottom:0px;'> Metabolic Nutritionist <br> <input type=checkbox name=type_id[] value='11' id='3' style='margin-bottom:0px;'> Nurse </p> <p><input type=checkbox name=meta_category_id value='1' style='margin-bottom:0px;' onClick="select_subgroup('1');"> <b>Laboratory</b> <p style='margin-left:10px; margin-bottom:10px; margin-top:5px;'> <input type=checkbox name=type_id[] value='2' id='1' style='margin-bottom:0px;'> Academic Contact <br> <input type=checkbox name=type_id[] value='8' id='1' style='margin-bottom:0px;'> Diagnostic Lab Director Biochem Lab <br> <input type=checkbox name=type_id[] value='15' id='1' style='margin-bottom:0px;'> Diagnostic Workup <br> <input type=checkbox name=type_id[] value='16' id='1' style='margin-bottom:0px;'> Lab Biochem <br> <input type=checkbox name=type_id[] value='14' id='1' style='margin-bottom:0px;'> Molecular <br> <input type=checkbox name=type_id[] value='4' id='1' style='margin-bottom:0px;'> NBS Tandem MSMS Expert <br> <input type=checkbox name=type_id[] value='1' id='1' style='margin-bottom:0px;'> Public Health <br> <input type=checkbox name=type_id[] value='6' id='1' style='margin-bottom:0px;'> State Genetics Coordinator <br> <input type=checkbox name=type_id[] value='3' id='1' style='margin-bottom:0px;'> State NBS Lab Director </p> <p><input type=checkbox name=meta_category_id value='2' style='margin-bottom:0px;' onClick="select_subgroup('2');"> <b>Newborn Screening</b> <p style='margin-left:10px; margin-bottom:10px; margin-top:5px;'> <input type=checkbox name=type_id[] value='12' id='2' style='margin-bottom:0px;'> FollowUp <br> <input type=checkbox name=type_id[] value='18' id='2' style='margin-bottom:0px;'> Followup Nurse <br> <input type=checkbox name=type_id[] value='17' id='2' style='margin-bottom:0px;'> Hearing Followup Coordinator <br> <input type=checkbox name=type_id[] value='7' id='2' style='margin-bottom:0px;'> Shortterm follow up </p> <p><input type=checkbox name=meta_category_id value='6' style='margin-bottom:0px;' onClick="select_subgroup('6');"> <b>Technology</b> <p style='margin-left:10px; margin-bottom:10px; margin-top:5px;'> <input type=checkbox name=type_id[] value='24' id='6' style='margin-bottom:0px;'> IT </p> </form>

I could loop through the meta_category_ids and make separate functions for each, but I really don't want to go there. Is there a way to do this with a single function?
