I've noticed lately that when I put something like Bar in a page, and then view that bit of source in Firefox by selecting it, right clicking, and picking "View selection source," it shows it as ="selected">Bar, i.e., xhtml compliant code. Does Firefox internally fix code, or what is going on here?

I'm having some trouble with a Javascript. This is the registration form. What I want to happen is that everytime a field changes the total price should be calculated. It's working perfectly on my hard drive but when I upload it to the live (secure) server I get NaN instead of the total. Is there something I'm missing?

I'm trying to use a marquee in a header on my LiveJournal that will stop when the viewer's mouse hovers over it. I've seen this done as news or headline tickers on websites. (Note: I do not want the marquee tag that has the text stop to one side... I want the text to marquee as usual, only stopping on a mouseover.)

I used the following code:
<marquee onMouseover="this.scrollAmount=0" onMouseout="this.scrollAmount=2">Hover your mouse over this to make it stop!</marquee>

but it looks like this when I use it:

Hover your mouse over this to make it stop!

The text doesn't stop moving as I have commanded it to in the tag. I've been to many HTML websites to see if I'm doing anything wrong, but I can't see any difference between my code and theirs.

I'm able to view this kind of marquee perfectly on other sites, stopping the text on mouseover and everything... is it just a LJ incompatibilty? Please help me!

Thanks in advance.

I have a question that I've been dying to know forever. How do you make a site like this, where the header pic/links stay stationary at the top, and the content appears below it without the header pic/links refreshing? I know it can't be a frameset, because the entire page will automatically scroll down, not just the frame in which the content overflows. I'm also pretty sure it's not iframe.

If someone could tell me how this is done and/or point me in the direction of a tutorial that could, I would be eternally grateful.

ETA: Erm, I think I phrased my question a bit wrong. I don't want the header/links to always remain at the top of the screen, like a floating menu or anything like that. What I meant was more of how I can divide the layout into two main portions, where the top portion (the image map or what have you) never reloads, but the bottom portion displays the content? Essentially like a frameset, but without the dozens of setbacks that a frameset has? Is this all just a matter of laying it out in CSS properly, or is the some behind-the-scenes PHP work going on as well? Sorry for the confusion.

hi, neither of these concepts are fully developed, these are just a couple of original compositions that I need some feedback on. If anyone could let me know how the pages are loading and what needs what etc., I'd greatly appreciate it. I know that not all the links work, and depending on your monitor size there may be some cut off at the bottom or just extra space, etc., those are things I can fix anytime, right now I'm just looking for opinions on design and functionality.
Thanks.

Does anyone here know flash?

I'm trying to make a little flash movie clip.
I have a video clip (I imported the video into my library and then made it a symbol) and play and stop buttons.
It works but the audio doesn't play. When I imported the movie I had "import audio" clicked so I don't understand why it's not playing the audio along with the video.

I've been doing some looking in the last few days for a good text editor that's sufficiently customizable and feature-rich to leave me wanting for nothing. After downloading several programs, I found jEdit.

I was initially wary about it being written in Java, but it's really fairly stable on win98 SE and while it doesn't load terribly fast, it performs well after that. In addition to the features expected of a good editor like syntax highlighting, regex searching, code folding, split view and macros, jEdit has a large community backing it and as such is extensible to provide for most any need: multiple ways of dealing with several open documents (stackable tabs, docked window, buttons, even), FTP plugin, clip system, PHP parser and two different spell-checkers.

Hell, with the right plugins it'll even work as a hex editor. I've gone ahead and taken a screen shot for good measure: http://www.contemptible.org/smack/jedit.jpg

Anybody use a good mailing list system (preferrably free or super cheap) that they would recommend? Some stupid person on my mailing list reported me as spam because she forgot she was on my list (dumbass) and the company I use didn't handle it so well. I blew my stack at them and before I go really crazy I'd like to move my mailing list and then proceed to go nuts on them.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

I've got a question. I know many designers are against splash pages, but why do so many artists have them? I have been looking at alot of artists' web sites and nearly all of them have a splash page. Is there some sort of unspoken leeway for artists to have splash pages on their sites?

Hey, I'm new to this community. I do web-design as a hobby and enjoy learning about new codes, but I do not claim nor wish to be a professional.
But sometimes school and job require that I make a website.

Anyway, I have a problem. I'm doing a website for a project and it has pop-ups. The pop-ups work fine in Safari and Firefox and all that, but they will not open in Internet Explorer for windows. I haven't tested it on I.E for mac, because it would hurt too much.

The pop up blocker isn't on and I'm getting a vague java error. Java's allowed and all that.

This is my code, without the tag bracket things:

script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"
//!--
function win1()
{ window.open ("http://kemotion.net/arts/galfa_1.html","win1","width=450,height=335,location=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,scrollbars=0,status=0,titlebar=1,toolbar=0") }
--
//!--
function win2()
{ window.open ("http://kemotion.net/arts/galid_1.html","win2","width=450,height=335,location=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,scrollbars=0,status=0,titlebar=1,toolbar=0") }
--
//!--
function win3()
{ window.open ("http://kemotion.net/arts/galgd_1.html","win3","width=450,height=335,location=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,scrollbars=0,status=0,titlebar=1,toolbar=0") }
--
/script




This is what I'm using as a link:

javascript:win2()


Help. I'm useless with java, it's on my list of things to take a class in, but at the moment I'm just trying to use what I can.

Thanks very much.

Alrighty, age old problem: page works fine in IE (and Avant) but not in Firefox, Opera or Netscape. This was my first real venture into using DIVs, SPANs and more CSS intead of tables and such. So things don't line up the same in the other browsers.
So um yeah, any suggestions to remedy that would be grand. I'm also looking for a critique of the code since it would be nice to be doing this div thing right, and any comments design-wise would be cool too (for those who can see it right...).
I also get an error thing in IE apparantly in line 2 char 1 but... that's just a blank space...

Okay, I have typed this out a few times and haven't been able to make sense of what I was typing, so I'll try this one last time.

I am trying to understand how to better implement the use of DIVs. Being that they (from what I have read) are very accessible friendly and very easily manipulated through CSS.

I'm a Dreamweaver junkie and have found that I use TABLES mostly because of their ease of creation. However, they are not always easy to use. So my question is this...

Is there a way to use and edit DIV as easily as you can TABLES in Dreamweaver?

I think if I found an answer to that very question I would start using DIVs more and therefore I would hopefully teach myself to better understand CSS and it power.

Thank you kindly to you wizzards of web wonders!

I have been using IE since like it first came out. I just downloaded FireFox and my background image won't load in my home page. I need someone who had knowledge of HTML and FireFox to assist me with this.

Edit: I changed the CSS on all my pages. Took a couple hours... 1 1/2 I guess... but now everything loads perfectly in both IE and Firefox. :) Thanks for your time.

I'm thinking of using this gallery, but my client needs one special (somewhat stupid if you ask me) feature.

He needs any public visitor to be allowed to delete any image as they see it. Basically he'll be taking photos of minors speed skating etc... and if their parents come to the site and not want their kids picture posted there, he wants them to be able to delete it on the spot. I know this is pretty much an insanely stupid feature to include in a gallery script, but does anyone know a gallery that supports this?

Thanks

For any Canadian high school students here....

You may want to check out the mcluhan multimedia festival (M3F.) It's a national festival that celebrates the new media artwork of Canadian high school students in the categories of animation, desktop publishing, digital photography, fusion (see the website for more information,) illustration, image manipulation, interactive media, sound and video. The works are judged by professionals in the field, so this is a great opportunity to get some feedback.

Even if you don't win, it's a great opportunity for exposure- the official festival selections are displayed for the public in Toronto for four days in May, and past submissions have been used for such purposes as the Launch (at the CBC building in downtown Toronto,) and have been featured in a TV show.

For more information and to submit, you can visit www.m3f.org.

You won't regret getting involved- it's a great experience....I've had so many wonderful experiences with it myself.

I've Dreamweaver on my machine - but don't really use it. All I need is a handy text editor which makes the FTP work less time consuming. Ideally the text editor will count lines and characters to make bug hunting more easy and may highlight syntax too.

elsePerson in office could do with Dreamweaver and so I've suggested that I simply surrender my copy. The question is - what do I replace it with. Can anyone recommend me a good editor? I'd edit by notepad, and often do, but I'm looking for something with a bit of FTP savvy. This doesn't have to be free (face it, it could be expensive and still a quarter of the price of Dreamweaver)

I use Hotdog at home. I'm not sure I'd recommend it hugely though. It seems to have been static for a while and Hotdog 8 annoyingly asks for the password all the time which it doesn't *** star out when you type! Amazing.
