  2. Dreamweaver Question

    Date: 01/26/07     Keywords: browser

    I have a Dreamweaver question. I'm using a template, and have had to make changes to it before (adding new buttons, etc.). I've uploaded to the site I've worked on and all the pages have taken the new change, no problem. This time I change the banner and uploaded it but none of the pages that use the template are changing to the new banner. I've cleared my cache a few times, even opened up a new browser... nothing. Is there anything I can do besides reuploading the other pages, which would be a long process because someone on the other end has made edits and I can't seem to be able to download the pages and would have to copy/paste the code.

    I hope I'm making sense.

    Date: 01/25/07     Keywords: php, web

    So now almost done with the move from Y!SB to DreamHost, and the only hangup I have left web-dev wise is that now all the address need .php at the end of them.

    aka:
    I used to be able to do website.com/page but now it has to be website.com/page.php

    how do i make it so .php isn't needed again?

  6. chinese characters in the title tag

    Date: 01/23/07     Keywords: web

    I'm working on a Chinese translation of a website and I've added the Chinese text into the body of the website and the characters look great. However, when I cut and paste those same characters into the title tags, I get some Chinese characters and some question marks. What's going on? Can anyone give me a solution to get rid of those question marks?

  8. Textpattern Websites

    Date: 01/19/07     Keywords: web, hosting

    Hi guys,

    I design and manage a site for my best friend, the Book Brothel*, which had been running for the last two years on Movable Type. Our installation messed up, we couldn't fix it, and our webhosting company was pretty much useless and we've now signed up with another host and have our eye on recreating the site in Textpattern.

    I've played around with Textpattern some, and can be pretty creative with content management systems, but I was wondering if anyone out there has examples they can link me to of brilliant implementation of TxP sites?

    The only site I know of offhand which is run on Textpattern is the website of a long lost friend, at Erisfree.com, and it's pretty wicked - but I thought asking around here may yield some suprises!

    Thanks in advance! I'll be sure to come back here for suggestions when I get something up and running. :)

    *The site itself is blank right now, but Archive.org can give you a pretty good idea of what the site used to look like, if you're curious!

  9. javascript issue pt. 2

    Date: 01/19/07     Keywords: java, web


    http://www.freewebs.com/barrie3/new_page_3.htm

    Code:



    On this page I am trying to use the show/hide javascript technique. I can't seem to get it to work even with all the tutorials and such online (and I've actually done this before), so I am back to square one and confused as ever.

    [EDIT: I am well aware there is no actual javascript there because I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START.]

    As you can see, none of the links actually work; I only uploaded the one page. But you can see what I'm getting at, right? All the links are just that; links. The plain text is what I want to open up the lower options. If that makes sense. For example, when one clicks About Us one will see Meet the Instructors, Facilities, and Schedule. When one clicks Meet the Instructors, down will come the list of names. Clicking again will hide the options.

    I am using FrontPage.

    The web site needs to be up ASAP so I need this menu to work. Plllleeeease please please help me out *begs on knees*

  11. Word --> HTML

    Date: 01/19/07     Keywords: browser, css, html, technology

    I am trying to make an HTML template out of a Word document (which will then be used to dynamically generate more HTML documents). The client expects the HTML document to look reasonably like the Word document. So far, it has been an... "adventure." Let's just say that my .css file has gone through several changes, involving changing the units of measure from inches and points to ems to pixels... all of which resulted in various problems.

    The client wants the HTML document to also be the hard copy, so we are also trying to get the template to fit onto 1 page, as the Word document does. This is an interesting problem, because depending on how the margins display, and the text size, the text may take up more lines in HTML than in Word, and then go onto another page. We are also trying to get all of the images to have the same proportions as they do in the Word document.


    Inches: Measuring the structure in inches worked fine, until I realized that image sizes cannot be set in inches in CSS or HTML, so I couldn't make them proportional with the rest of the structure.
    Ems: Measuring the images and text in ems, I could make them proportional to each other, but structure can't be set in ems, so I couldn't make the structure match.
    Pixels: I had to set the width of the body to less than 800 pixels, so that it would fit in 800x600 resolution. I don't know how the browser decides to translate pixels onto the printed page, but I believe this caused the margins to be less wide than in the Word document, because the text ended up taking more lines, and going onto the next page in the print preview.



    I personally feel that what we are trying to accomplish is not realistic or advisable, given how differently things will display (and print) in different browsers. But I thought maybe somebody might have some advice on either how to accomplish the goal, or what to explain to the client the limitations of the technology are. I just don't feel that I have enough experience to know how to approach the problem, or to confidently tell the client what is possible to deliver and what is not.

    Thanks for any help or advice. I can provide more information (e.g. the Word document or the HTML I'm working on) if necessary; if you want to take a look, please comment with your e-mail address, as I'd rather not publicly link to those documents.

  12. Regular Expressions in HomeSite

    Date: 01/18/07     Keywords: no keywords

    Does anyone have any experience with regular expressions using HomeSite?


    I'm trying to remove some line wraps and space between words in a bunch of sites I inherited. A simple search and replace won't do the trick, as whoever coded these sites used Dreamweaver and it churned some seriously crappy markup. Here's an example of what I'm trying to replace:

    This
    code
    is
    crap

    And this is how I want it to be:

    This code is

    Essentially I'm removing "crap" and the line wraps (never mind the fact the end result makes no sense...it's just an example). The thing is I need to do this across 55 sites.

    Does anyone know what the expression would be to achieve this result?

    Thanks a ton in advance.

  13. let me flee from Y!SB

    Date: 01/18/07     Keywords: php, web, hosting

    Yeah, Y!SB is getting on my last nerve.

    Along with spiking from an average of 4,000 403 errors to 100,000+ 403 errors last month (and I have no idea what caused this), the site I run is getting constant 500 errors now anytime someone tries to post a news article via Movable Type

    Does anyone know of a good business-oriented web hosting service that can easily support a site that generally has 150k pageviews/10-15GB of traffic (and this will most likely be increasing).

    The things I'm running that I would like to continue using are:
    Movable Type
    awstats
    phpAdsNew

    As far as I'm aware, any hosting company should be able to let those work without a hitch, yet Y!SB is giving me a lot of shit the last two months and I'm getting pretty sick of them.

    A good number of POP-capable email addresses would be nice, too, since if we leave Y!SB for web hosting we may want new email hosting as well.

  16. two very basic dreamweaver questions

    Date: 01/17/07     Keywords: no keywords

    Forgive me if these are silly, but I've used crusty old Homesite for so long that switching to Dreamweaver has been a little annoying - but there are just two features left I need to "find" in my new app. This is not version 8 by the way, but version 2004 MX if it matters:

    How do you tell Dreamweaver to not wrap lines? I can't imagine why anyone would want this turned on anyway, but for the life of me I can not turn it off! No matter what I do, lines always wrap on the screen. When I turn it off, lines run off the screen a little bit to the right, but if they're really long (like a long paragraph) they always wrap back around in my editor. I want lines to appear as lines, plain and simple, like in every other programmer's text editor on earth. Help?

    In Homesite there was a menu item called "Replace special characters" that would run through your document (or all open documents) and automatically find funky quotes and other extended characters in your content (not inside tags) and replace them with entity notation. Try as I might though I can't find where Macromedia/Adobe stuck this in Dreamweaver...

    Please and thanks!

  19. UK webhosting recs / DreamHost

    Date: 01/16/07     Keywords: php, mysql, database, sql, web, linux, hosting, apache

    1) Can anyone recommend any reliable and not too expensive UK based webhosting companies?
    (only hosting, no domain name registration needed)


    Necessary features:
    - Linux/Apache server
    - at least 150MB webspace
    - bandwith/traffic on a normal scale, the more the better *g*
    - PHP (version 4 okay, 5 better)
    - at least one MySQL database
    - FTP access and several email accounts should be a given

    A plus, but not really neccessary:
    - .htaccess
    - cgi/perl
    - shell access

    2) DreamHost as a webhost for a small business website?
    I do have a DreamHost account, mostly for dabbling around and trying out stuff, and love all their features (and low prices). But although I've never had any problems so far, hearing every now and then about down times or bad customer service makes me a bit reluctant to recommend them to a client for hosting their small business website. Opinions, anyone?

    Thanks! :-)

    I've shown my website before (a couple of months ago now I think .. yikes!) but I've finally gotten around to -almost- finishing it (it doesn't have my web work up yet, but it will.. i promise!).

    In any case, I'm now very tired, but feeling quite accomplished.
