  1. make a robots.txt in your root dir, write this in it:

    User-agent: *Disallow: /path/to/tutorials
    And keep the first page of your tutorials out of that directory, or add this to every page you don't want to have included :

    <meta name="robots" content="noindex">


  2. wannabeeaweak, the code you provided is a nightmare.

     

    Anybody who read this and considdered using this code, DON'T

     

    First of all, making a form is as easy as slicing pie.

    <form> and </form>

    All done.

     

    Then adding elements to that form is just as easy. Something where you want to type text in one line?

    <input type="text" />

    All done.

     

    What did you say? A list where you can select things? Sure, why not?

    <select>
    <option> You can select this </option>
    <option> Or select this </option>
    <option selected="selected"> But this will be selected by default </option>
    </select>

    And I know, you want a button to submit all the results as well,

    <input type="submit" />

    Or if you rather have a custom text on the button:

    <input type="submit" value="Click here to submit the stuff ;)" />

     

    All those of your choice inbetween the <form> and </form> tags, and you're all done. Here's an example including all of them (I included <br /> to go to a new line as well):

    <form action="the_results_go_to_this_file.html">
    
    Your name:<br />
    <input type="text" /><br />
    
    Your gender:<br />
    <select>
     <option> Male </option>
     <option> Female </option>
    </select><br />
    
    <input type="submit" />
    
    </form>

     

    Now, wannabeeaweak, as for what you said:

    First of all, your code is flawed. Badly. You open loads of tags which you never close. The option tag, for example. Secondly, you include evil javascript, with alerts etc. Horrible. Thirdly, not only is your code riddled with errors, it's also messy and unreadable, it doesn't follow any standards, you use upercase tags where they should be lowercase, you don't use quotes around attributes, you don't close your tags, and whatevermore.

    Don't try and help people that don't know how to make forms by means of this .. ..... incorrect code.


  3. Honesty first, so

     

    Current impresion:

    Good navigation, easy and straightforward.

    Horrible layout.

    Far too many animating gifs etc.

    Terrible colour contrasts.

     

    Suggestions:

    Make everything flow over into each other more.

    Break the rectangular block views of the site.

    Remove all and any sort of animation, that includes the marquee (which is an illegal element of HTML, btw)

    Keep the navigation but frame it a little into something nice.

    Make the colours match better.


  4. I suggest that you get ms frontpage

    I suggest you stop suggesting frontpage before I .. *swallow* :)

    What is it that you study? I'm moving into year 11 soon and have been looking at the different things i can study at Uni. I was thinking that something along the lines of computer programming would be quite good. Any advice would be great.

    I study applied informatics, but the best way to learn things, is learning them on yourself. Google to find tutorials & howto's, experiment, and make as many mistakes as you can.

  5. That's where things go wrong, avalon, because alot of those kinds of scripts work in IE, for example, but fail in Opera or Mozilla / Firefox / ...

    This is where you should be using CSS rather than JavaScript anyway. CSS alows for far more dynamic adjustments. Keeps things clean & easy & simple, whereas, if you look a JavaScript code..... it's all but clean, easy or simple. Not compared to CSS anyway.

    IE does have alot of difficulities with CSS, but I'd rather use a http://dean.edwards.name/IE7/intro/
    '>compliancy patch for IE (IE7) to fix IE, rather than JavaScript scripts to do that.


  6. wad if u connect to a proxy thru a proxy? would it make u more anonymous? or harder to detect? just wondering...

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    I don't think that's possible. If you connect to a proxy, you do a HTTP/... request, and the proxy resolves it, and replies to you with the result. The proxy decides what path it follows to obtain the information, not you. Therefore, you only say what -for example- webpage you want to fetch, and the proxy fetches it.

  7. When you go to a page it loads ok. However when you go back it simply retrieves the same page instead of reloading a new one. That anoys me big time cause pages often change including my own and everytime i go to it i have to manually press reload.

    Actually.... that's a great thing.

    Because if it has to reload each time you press back, you'll have to wait at least about 5 seconds for the page to load & render. Opera is FAST. Opera, is SMOOTH, if you do this, you'll **** it up. This system allows you to very quickly go through alot of pages, in a blink of an eye, because they're all still cached in memory.

    BTW- Please don't tell me some sad people are still designing browsers and stuff for DOS. It just isn't logical. No-one would want a browser for DOS anymore.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    OpenDOS & DrDOS are still under development, they're alternatives for MSDOS and are still used. This opinion of yours only just demonstrates your shortmindedness. Alot of companies, for example, still work with DOS software, because they haven't the budget to upgrade their systems & re-train their people. Secondly, DOS is still a marvelous OS, and I personally use it to be able to play old games etc. A web browser for DOS is a great thing.

     

    I'm reconning you'll think anything that works with letters only in a black background screen is old and stupid? Linux console is the most powerful User Interface. GUI only ever slowed things down.


  8. palestranger, about google being the best, I wouldn't be too sure. There are loads of other systems out there, which provide great results as well. Have you ever heard of Cluster Search Engines, for example? They work quite context based, they're a great alternative.Btw, it's not right for any company to dominate, because they may now be good, but you can impossibly say that they'll stay this way or even improve in the future. On the contrary, experience showed us that dominating companies only fell for advertising, marketting, and surrendered quality. Since everybody comes to them anyway, whether they have quality or not. They don't know any better. Perfect example is Microsoft.
