I though I posted a poll in this community...can't find it.
Anyway...

I have a large images which I need to overly with text links.
Is Flash or image map a better solution...or something else?

There will also be a traditional navigation for this.

I have a quick question about making an online store. I already know XHTML and CSS but as far as i know i cant make a shopping cart with just this. I think PHP and MySQL is what i need to learn but is that all i need or would i have to dig deeper into programing with something like OOP with Java or JPS?

I have a small flash movie that works exactly the way I want while in flash. When I publish, the .swf file plays fine in the flash player. However, when I publish and view in an html document, several layers are simply not there. Any advice?

I am looking for a great place for a website I am developing. Currently the people I am considering are just not quite cutting it IMO. I don't want an individual but a company who would hopefully not charge at arm and a leg. I want them to have knowledge in EVERYTHING. Someone that could do something like youtube.com, myspace, livejournal, memberships, animation, etc. You know what I'm sayin' yo!

So please if you know of a great place - fill me in!

thanks!
K

Ok. So a while back I asked about hosting. I found one that supported asp and asp.net and all that jazz. Turns out though that all .aspx pages have to be in the root directory for them to work. If you have them in the subfolders, they will not work. Is that normal, or is it just that I found host that's crappy at supporting .net? I called another, and they said that you could have the aspx files in subfolders but you'd have to redirect the subfolder ot the root folder in order for them to work, and the person on the other end of the line told me that was just the way .net works.

I asked my friend who is a .net developer, but he's used to working with dedicated servers, so he wasn't sure about how shared hosting was supporting .net, but said that sounded, in his words "like a rubbish host".

Help. :(

A great link with good ideas on building better websites. Segment 3, advises sketching. I took this one step further during my last client meeting for a web project. For this client accessibility and usability were paramount (as it should be). I decided to go in with a sharpie and a pad of paper and sketch out my layout ideas and it was very successful. Usually, I just do the sketches for myself and then start mocking up in photoshop, but sketching in front of the client and letting them see the process was a great way for them to see how information will be organized without seeing a "finished" mockup. They were actively involved in the process of how information would be layed out and they could grab a pen if they wanted as well. Plus, it added a layer of trust in me which is always a good thing.

Hi everyone o.o I need your help.

Soon I'll be putting up the first issue of a webzine and I wanted to include a visitor survey on the site (to find out which articles they liked best, what worked/what didn't, what they'd like in the future, etc.).

I was searching around trying to find a web design code that would allow me to do this, but I can't find one. Instead, I keep finding these services that will host surveys for me, but I'd rather not have outsourced surveys if I can help it.

All I need is a basic poll, with boxes that can be checked off and a graph that shows up at the end displaying how many people chose what responses, prefereably fixed in a way that allowed only authorized people to access these graphs. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Hi
I recently asked your opinions on my site, groovescapeonline.net!
Well, I really don't think this is the place to do it, and i'll just delete the post once I get in trouble for it (if this isn't in fact the place for it)-- But would anybody here be willing to help me in creating some sort of database that users upload information to? I've looked all around the net, looked at all sorts of scripts (some worked, some didn't, and then-- ahhhh).

There's a thing on this website ( http://ddrfreak.com ) -- If you go to "machine locations", users submit locations of machines and they go up in an organized fashion. (I'm not looking for something that complicated or as complicated---) OR-- like a site like www.bemanistyle.com -- how users are able to submit "simfiles" (a zip file, i guess), which posts itself in a searchable database.

I just wanted some tips or maybe somebody's assistance on how I would create something like this. I have a MySQL database thing for my forum (phpbb)-- and I just want to make a database of some sort, that users could either submit files to a searchable extent-- OR just to submit locations (for another site of mine: http://piuzone.com . there's been a promised 'locations database' that I still haven't done because I just can't figure it out.)

Thanks, and I apologize if this is the wrong place for this, and i'll go about deleting the post if that's the case. :)

(P.S: I changed the links to pink to match the banner uptop. Good? :D )

Forms giving me a headache. (i think it's the forms, maybe the problem is somewhere else in the code though....)


There are two registration forms on my website; International & USA Residents.
They are the exact code except for the [Country] select in International, & [State] select in USA registration form.

I've been staring at both codes for about 6 hours and can't seem to find the problem.

http://www.gazettestreet.net/international_reg.html ~ the form is perfect
http://www.gazettestreet.net/usa_reg.html ~ the [state] select is all the way to the right and is off.

I tried to make all the code look the same (including the modifiers for the selects) but it still won't give in.
Can anyone check the sources for both pages and let me know where the glitch is hidding?

Thanks a million in advanced~

Thanks~

Anyone else that's using Dreamhost having trouble logging into their Control Panel? I've tried logging in from the main site, and by going directly to panel.dreamhost.com, and all I get is the old Page Cannot Be Displayed message. Just wondering if it's just me, or if others are having the same problem before I contact them.

Thanks.

I've been searching the archives but I can't find the answer to my question. I'm not sure what I should have on my invoice and what it should look like. Does anyone have a copy that I could view? Thanks :)

ETA: The real issue i'm having is how to break down the invoice. Do I put all the individual things that they're being charged for? Or do I only put the total price?

Does anyone know of a good program or script for uploading files via the web? I need something that will allow users to login and upload images, pdfs, and text files. If they could upload it to a specific category that would be great. It's for internal purposes only which is why I'd like for it to have a login option. I've been searching at hotscripts.com, but have yet to find one I really like.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello. I have been asked by my boss to help update our ancient website. I know enough html and will have enough helpers that I should be ok, however I have one minor snag...

i've never edited an existing website someone else set up before.

I need to know what information I am going to need from the person who was working on the site a year ago. I assume I shall need a password, and to know the url for the administering page of the site, but is there anything else i will need?

Thank you very much, I hope you can help me find what I need.

Let me start off by saying: If you are hardcore anti-Flash... please move on. Don't waste your time reading or commenting.

With that said. I'd like to post my new portfolio and get your thoughts. It's my very first all-Flash site, I've worked hard on it, and I'd like to hear any comments other than "Never use Flash again I hate you".

Thank you for your time :)

i'm looking for a very customizable (& easy to do so at that) shopping cart system. I'm leaning towards http://cubecart.com/site/home/

does anyone have any experience with them or have any other suggestions? it doesn't have to be free, but the cheaper the better (free is also good). oscommerce seems to get bad reviews, zencart seems like a pain to customize & mals doesn't seem very flexible. thoughts?

Some of you were a great help to me when I was trying to convert my table layout to CSS. Here is the updated result. There are so many things I haven't tweaked yet, but I just wanted to share the results of all your help.

I'm still struggling with that image gallery/navigation issue... ::sighs:: But anyway... any further comments are welcome!

I've had my domain (http://icydays.org) for 4 years now... my host every few months recently shuts it down because of spam and stuff. Apparently it's getting hacked a lot and sending out spam. So they delete everything and reformat it and whatever and I have to reupload everything.

Well today I went to my site and found that it was hacked with some sort of KeyRooT message. You can visit and see. I talked with my host and they said the only way to solve this is to once again clear my site out. This is really getting frustrating and I do not want to do that another time... I am so tired of this.

I tried to look for any files that made it do this but apparently it's running through PHP or something. Can someone help me get rid of this hack and possibly tell me a way to prevent things like this from happening again? Every few months I'm having problems like this. Thanks!
