ok basically there is no sure fire way for which you can get your site looking the same in all browsers. You have to be very careful of your coding and i suggest you just basically test it in browsers (ie, firefox, mozilla...) before you upload. It may not be a case of having the perfect coding, it is sometimes a mixture of that AND LUCK. When i decided to make a test site using firefox i just tested the layout in each and i kept changing the code until it was fine.Also if you use Dreamweaver or other wysiwyg editors this again isn't going to solve the problem if you think the code which is generated is perfect (it isn't).good luck.

Hey, well for 1 the perenthesis is wrong on the a:link it should be this: a:link { color: #33ccff; text-decoration: none;} the problem may have been caused by this as you missed out the ending curly bracket. without this the css would obviously go awry in some way. This is my code for all the links: a:link, a:visited, a:active { color: #510000; text-decoration: none;}a:hover { color: #510000; text-decoration: underline;} you can edit that to what you want it to be. It does work but if you find it doesn't then there may be another problem. good luck overture

A guy i know on the net owns this website and he got a brand new mobile(cell) phone and he was so excited with it he decided to make a WAP site (or convert the site somehow, i am not really sure), saying that i have not seen anything yet. On a general note i have never seen a WAP website before, what are they like exactly?

is this safe? i would like to try it but would it screw up firefox in some way that noone knows about? is there anything you have experienced after changing these settings?i am just curious to know before i change it all.

So what is exactly happening? does it just stop working. certain parts of the program gets errors? doesn't store information into the database?Could you give some specifics please of what happens, this may help us all to help you.thankyouoverture

No problem, this is the code i used recently for a college assignment: dropdown menu code: <form id="select" action=""> <p> <select name="menu" class="jump" onchange="loc(this)"> <option value="" selected="selected">// Destination</option> <option value="index.html">Home</option> <option value="">option</option> <option value="latest.html">option</option> <option value="">option</option> <option class="options" value="wallpapers.html">option</option> </select> </p></form> javascript code: function loc(val) { id = val.options[val.selectedIndex].value; if (id != "") {location.href = id; }} it should work perfectly fine in firefox as i have tested it. If you find any problems tell me what they are, thanks.

Hey, i seem to be getting the 'Error 406 - Not Acceptable'. I get this message when i use my shoutbox editor, when i click 'Edit', it is supposed to display all of the message details - name, date, website and message. Before the server went down everything for my site worked fine, but i seem to be getting this message and it wont go away. I made the editor so i didn't have to log into my cPanel and phpMyAdmin if i wanted to edit or delete a post.I would really appreciate if someone could help possible an admin or someone who might know what is wrong with the server, or any problems that have arised after the server went down.Thankyou very muchoverture.

nope i still cant. i can only send them from my main/default account. if i make any other email accounts i cannot send any emails, they just get sent to the returner (me), however i can still send them. I do not know why, i haven't done nething or set anything different cos i don't think you can do that.I would really appreciate some help from any admin (OpaQue) or whomever may have a reason for this, if my account has been altered in any way.Thankyou very much.edit: it is ok i can send them from 'Horde' but not from 'NeoMail'

I cannot seem to send and emails from my Xisto email accounts. I have tried sending to other emails like Hotmail or Yahoo or others but no luck, however i can recieve them.I would appreaciate any help. perhaps something has been done to my account?i dont know.Thanksedit: ok, i can seem to send them from my main/default email account but not from my others which i have created.

i believe you need to use the ImageString() function. this is the link: ImageString() I believe you will find the information that you need from there. Hope it all goes well. Show me the finished product if you manage to do it!

Thankyou very much marijnnn, i will give it a shot. i appreciate all the responses especially yours marijnnn.thanks again all.

OK. but will he be able to access and run all of the programs and files on the desktop from his laptop. does he a need a hub, N.I.C, cables.

Hey, i am wondering what i would need to set-up a network between a Laptop and a Desktop Computer. The desk-top will be used for storage (programs, songs...).It will only be between the two computers.I know nothing about this as it is for my brother. I am in the United Kingdom so i would appreciate any costs or whatever to be in £'s.All i know is that he needs a N.I.C.I think he wants only the basics so he can have all of the programs and whatever on the desk-top and he can access everything via his laptop.I would really appreciate any help and guidance.Thankyou

doesnt anyone use the Image Viewer which accompanies Win XP, i think it is pretty decent. or am i the only one. of course this only goes for people who have XP

Chilipie that deletes them and you (I or someone) does not want that, rmdorts way just hides them. I do not think it is a good idea to delete the desktop icons, maybe not good but stupid. hideing them is better. why delete them?

Sorry about not replying i completely forgot about this topic. anyways. i have got one i got one called 'EasyPen G3' from NISIS, it cost me £30.00 (i am cheap ). It is very good for what i use it for at the moment. You can get better ones the most commonly known is called a 'Wacom' it probably varies in price depending on which one you want. These are the best in the business and vary in size. They are FANTASTIC!

Please try and make posts that contribute a little more to the Forums instead of just posting a potentially useful link. It's for your own good as when/if you try and get the standard posting package posts will not count if they are not helpful or plain spam.thanks

I think the kind of things that you have mentioned would be better done in DHTML (Dynamic Hyper Text Mark-up Language), this is a dynamic version of HTML which will allow you to do the things you want, and Javascript. If you have time go to http://www.w3schools.com/ there is alot of information on languages there that i think will help you alot and to meet certain web standards in the future. DHTML Sites: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ http://www.dhtmlshock.com/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ To do the page transition things you want you can do it with Meta tags, here is a site i have found for that: http://www.pageresource.com/dhtml/jtut2.htm http://www.permadi.com/tutorial/iePageTransition/index.html The page transitions will only work with crappy browsers like IE, i have tested them and they don't work with FireFox, or new browsers...i think. Cursor effects can be done with Javascript and DHTML i think as can Photo Effects. I think that the photo effects like fade out and in and the like will only work with IE (i think). if you will use filters that belong to IE they may not work. Cursor effects: http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/cutindex18.shtml Most effects with images, forms and text will most probably only work with IE, so do your self a favour and get Mozilla or Firefox. As well as that Mozilla offers more security and full support for CSS and CSS 2. Go get it

You can probably find something on the net. Look for "php sending emails mail()" this may bring up results. The Mail() bit is the function used to send the email along with the information that has been entered into the form. if u want my script then i will give it to you, but have a good stab at using the mail() function along with some security (htmlentities(), Strip_Tags()) and some validation so the email will not be sent if there is no message or email address or whatever.

This is called a Favicon, this is where an icon is displayed in the left of the address bar to do this you need to add this code. You will probably only be able to see this when using a standard compient browser (Mozilla, Firefox), not IE in IE it will only show up when you bookmark the site in the Favourites folder. the code goes between the <title> and </head> tags. <link href="icon_name.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" /> <title>title page</title><link href="icon_name.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" /></head> the image has to be 16x16 pixels in size. you could create a 32x32 icon which will be automatically scaled down. You have to save the file as a .ico (icon) file for this to work. Hope that helps. good luck

Would this be better than using the Custom Error Pages option in CPanel? is there any other benefits for either?

The first game i made was in Delphi, it was a kinda complex version of Hangman, this did not invlove any animation though, next i had to use Visual Basic for an assignment at college i found it to be an OK language, however it cannot beat the power of Delphi :)Delphi all the way. VB and C++ come in a close second and third respectivly.

Well done, a very nice post for your first. This is a good kinda detailed post. An example of what most posts should be like. (as long as it is not copied directly from anywhere else). I know there are a lot of websites with these tutorials on around the net, for beginners mostly who still play around with the filters to get pretty effects.Well done.

wasnt this solved in the first reply by lhunath? being as it was the right answer. at least in my mind it was.

Could you please be clearer when makeing your posts. Anyways i do not understand the question could you please elaborate. Thanks
