  1. I also support Tyssen in this case.

     

    Efficiency, and, therefore, standards-compliant code are two highly important aspects of my coding. I am quite detail-oriented, so I am prone to be very precise and accurate in answering a question and help the person understand.

     

    I strongly suggest that everyone should help the person who posted the question understand what his/her problem is, so that he/she does not come across the exact same problem again.

     

    And, most of all, BE FRIENDLY!! :)


  2. Your script looks pretty good...but I generally use a one-way hash (MD5 or the one built into MySQL) for all of my encrypting, but, then again, I never have to decrypt anything...I wonder if anyone will actually attempt to break your code/script.Good coding!!


  3. Just wondering, why are you using Dreamweaver templates in the first place if all you need to do is edit a couple of regions. Are the only one editing the files, or is someone else editing as well?? If you are the only one, I would suggest that you ditch the dreamweaver template idea and just use dreamweaver's powerful features to edit the files...I tried DW templates and absolutely despise them now because they gave me so much trouble. Again, I suggest that you ditch the templates...but that's just me.Good luck.


  4. Well, HTML DOM was originally the W3C's idea, so all of it should conform to standards. BUT! Every browser is different and some read javascript differently, especially since it is not a standard...so some browsers have DOM objects that other browsers do not. However, that does not keep the page from being standards-compatible because of the fact that javascript is client-side and is a script language, and, as far as I know, the W3C's standards do not deal with anything pertaining to scripts.I hope that this makes sense...Good luck and good coding!!


  5. I agree with truefusion...it is really hard to see what you are trying to do. Try truefusion's code, it should work for you.

     

    I would also suggest that you consider ditching tables. They are really messy, especially with new CSS that is more powerful than tables. I would also suggest that you use "semantic" markup--use only tags for structure, and then only when that is the best tag to use--then almost all browsers will read your HTML and CSS correctly (or however you intend it to be read).

     

    Good Luck and good coding!! :)


  6. I personally try to structure my SQL statments so that the absolute minimum changes are able to occur. So, like sportytalk said, add detail to your SQL statements so that no one can add information to your statement. I also often use parentheses, which make it really hard to change the original statement. If you want the best documentation about how you can structure your statements, I would suggest exploring the SQL documentation at http://www.mysql.com/.

    Good Luck! And good coding! :)


  7. I agree that frames are terrible! They are the absolute last thing you should use...if you want to use the next-generation of frames, it would be called AJAX. There's a lot of sites that are using it now, most notable of which are Google Maps and Google Suggest.Remember, Frames = EVIL!!


  8. There are a lot of good books out there...just go to your local bookstore and check out the computer/web programming section (or something similar). The next question is, do you want to learn server-side scripting or client-side? For client-side, definitely go with javascript. For server-side, I would highly recommend PHP, although you need hosting that supports it (same goes for ASP, Perl, and every other server-side language). Most of all, examine what you need to do with the scripting, that's your best guide!! Good Luck!!


  9. If you want to use a cron job, first you have to have hosting, usually linux, that supports cron jobs. Then, though something like cPanel, you can set up a cron job to automatically run a script (in this case your form, which you could just make a PHP or other type of script to post the variables to wherever is needed) every half hour (or whatever length of time you want). If you need more help on the details, don't hesitate to ask! Hope you get it working soon!!
