I am curious about form field requirement when using form dependencies. I have a contact form set up so that a user must choose either email or telephone as their choice of contact method. Based on which radio button is selected a text box is shown for either their address or number. I want the field that contains a submitted value to be required, while NOT requiring the empty field. Does anyone have any ideas?

For background on what form dependencies check out this script on DynamicDrive.

Greetings,

Just joined this community today. Am working on a site renovation and trying to use CSS to style/format as much as possible, but it is giving me fits. CSS is somewhat new to me so I am learning on the fly. I did wind up setting a very basic 3 column, 1 row table to contain divs because I know that the graphics will not be as high as content on most pages. But, even though the divs are all sitting inside table cells, the cells are not "stretching" to enclose the content. A page example:

Can someone tell me what I am missing? I am hoping it's just a simple thing I am overlooking because time is of the essence and I need to finish this site.

TIA!!

Hey all,

My company hosts a blog through Blogger and uploads it to their site through the Blogger FTP setup. This method has proven pretty shaky and unreliable at times, since Blogger frequently has unexplained errors when trying to publish to the FTP. We want the blog to be able to be updated with moderately lengthy posts about 2 times a week.

Can anyone recommend a more reliable method of maintaining a site blog than through Blogger's FTP?

TIA!

I'm trying to use the Google Maps API to include an interactive map on this page. In Firefox, everything looks great. When I view it in IE 6.0 the div seems to be in the right place (I put a yellow border around it so I could tell) but the map contents get thrown out to the right and I can't figure out why. In case it helps, my CSS is located here.

Any Flash people here?

I've been struggling with a problem here for a few days. I need to create a row of vertical image slices that expand and push the adjacent slices to the side on mouse over. I've found a way to setup the expanding part (mask animation in movie clip), but I don't understand how to push the other clips with the mask expansion. You can see what I mean here.

I originally thought I would just animate the slices moving over (the end product will have more than two) with the mask animation, but it appears that you cannot animate other movie clips from inside a clip (each slice/animation is it's own movie clip).

Any ideas???

*EDIT*

Well, I am a bit closer after experimenting with adding an x-coordinate move to the opposite slice, but it's still not right. There's got to be an easier way to do this...

Dreamhost users:

As you should be aware, Dreamhost had a billing issue last month that caused multiple billings for some accounts. They reversed the charges, HOWEVER, check your bill, especially if you are not in the U.S. I got my bill, and there is a discrepancy because of the exchange rate. The debit transaction occurred on a different date than the credit transaction, and because of the differences in the exchange rates on those days, I am now out almost $40! I've just sent the billing department an email about it.

Pass it along!

I'd like something simple: two column areas where the left column takes up 80% of the window space at all times and the right column takes up the remaining space. The two columns would have padding so as not to bump into each other. I tried this myself in the CSS of the document I am working on, and it really didn't pan out.

Should I use a table with two cells set at the needed percentages, then use styles to define the divs within these cells? It seems sometimes for the most simple things divs are the painful way to go and I'd appreciate a quick tip, thanks!

Edit: feel totally dumb. Just tried it again and for some reason it works. I think I had a float messed up. Thanks.

Hey all,

I'm getting ready to register a domain name that will be redirected to a certain page in my website. I have a preferred company I use for hosting, but their domain name registration fees are kind of pricey. Can anyone suggest someone that's affordable and reliable?

My only stipulation is that it not be GoDaddy. I've been given too much grief by their customer service practices, again and again, as a webmaster, to ever do any business with them again.

Thanks!

I've messed around with html and css for years and just started getting into php with my newest website.

Please check out this test page using IE: http://www.michiganscrabble.com/test/playasalph.htm

When you click any of the player names, it takes you to their individual page, which is where the problem lies. Sometimes the players' pages are lined up nicely. Other times, the player's info div is all the way to the right. If I refresh the page when it does that, it always corrects itself. I could understand if the page was always wrong, but it doesn't make sense that it is sometimes lined up and sometimes not.

I don't know what info you need from me or how to post part of my code if you need that. I'm hoping it's a common problem. I've been looking online for hours, but I don't think I even know the correct terms to look for help. I'd really rather not make people have to refresh the pages constantly if I can help it.

(FYI, Internet Explorer was fine when I first tested it, but the problem was constant in Firefox on every page, every time. I added a break between divs and now it works perfectly in Firefox, randomly messed up in IE. Don't know if this info helps...)

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have an efficient method for converting static HTML sites to mobile-friendly versions? I need something other than the hack Mike Davidson has posted, unless someone has figured out a way to apply this to static HTML. I've been running into problems with this script and some other PHP code execution on a site I need to convert.

Anyone have any other approaches that don't involve third party sites?

Thanks.

Okay, so I've got a contact form in PHP. Works fine, functions fine.

The client would like it so that the email that the user inputs is the "from" email when the information comes in so that when the office hits "reply" on the emails, they don't have to copy & paste the email into the "to" field. (Acc to the guy that I'm subcontracting from, the doctor we're building for "isn't very computer saavy & can't copy & paste". Considering these people handle surgeries on a regular basis, I'm a little frightened by that, but okay)

My code goes thusly:



// Declare some constants
define("EMAIL_FROM", "client Name ");



and I know that theoretically, what I need to do is have the code input the value of the email variable to where it says ... but I'm kinda burnt out today & my brain just doesn't want to do the math, so I'm doing what I always do - ask you guys for help. ;)

Anyone got a cheat sheet I can use? Or one you can point me towards?

Thanks!

I am looking for a simple news management system (like CuteNews) but it must let you post articles that you have to be logged in to see (like a forum).

It would also be very helpful if it was PHP only, no SQL.

Does such a thing exist?

It's for my rover crew to post messages, meeting notes and stuff but we don't want it completely public. If there's another easy way of doing this I am open for suggestions.


Thanks a lot:=)

I'm going to be redesigning our website and I'd like to include testimonials from recent clients. How do I ask for a good testimonial? I'd rather not just ask for one and have them say "yeah, my website is great, blah blah blah". I'd like to ask them a few questions in order to get back a meaningful testimonial. Any thoughts?

How do I clone something that's being dragged and dropped, and have the clone be draggable?

----------------------------------

I'm just starting to migrate some drag-and-drop code that uses X library to jQuery. What I had before is an interface like this:

2 DIV containers, "frombox" and "tobox". In frombox there's a bunch of images ("items"). When you drag one from frombox to tobox it's copied. When you drag it back it's deleted. I had this working before, but I'm right now I'm stuck at one problem when trying to do it with jQuery

So far with the jQuery version I can drag them back and forth without copying, and I can drag them down from "frombox" to "tobox" WITH copying, but the clones become undraggable. My code looks like:

I am almost there with a CSS menu but it isn't quite right in IE- can you help?

http://www.emphasiscreative.com/extranet/dropdowns/rollover3.html
css is: http://www.emphasiscreative.com/extranet/dropdowns/SpryAssets/MenuBarHorizontal.css

Looks ok in Firefox on the Mac- i want it to fill up the row but not go over 1019 pixels.

In IE on the PC,
1) top level items are missing the top row of pixels off the background (top grey line), and
2) WRAPS!! We need it to fill the row but not wrap.

Any fixes? Thankyouthankyou...

Hi folks, I've been googling for a while now to find something you might know the answer to offhand: can you track how many times an image has been viewed? That is, I am posting an image to a website, and would like to track how many people in that audience go to my website once they see that image. I'd appreciate everyone's input, thanks :)
