  1. microscopic^earthling please can you tell us how you put a title to the Outlook note?
  2. Thanks a lot for the tips Munchie and Tobias, I'll keep on using CSS to build my webpage. In any case, if I find any problem working with it maybe I’ll contact you to help me solve it.
  3. Here there is an additional interesting option: http://www.opencube.com/
  4. I learned HTML almost 10 years ago, first I begun downloading some WebPages, viewing the source code and modifying it by trial and error method; later I studied some online HTML tutorials and I made some simple websites, but soon I quit HTML programming. Now after some years without practice, I want to learn XHTML, CSS, PHP and MySQL.
  5. Here it is: http://www.facade.com/legacy/amiinpi/
  6. Thank you, it's easy and works on my machine with windows xp, but only with Mozilla Firefox not with win explorer.
  7. Really interesting! “Even though the word “logo” comes from ancient Greek and it translates to “word” or “speech”, other cultures - the Babylonian, Assyrian, Mayan, Chinese, Egyptian also used pictographs to communicate words and ideas. Pictographs could be considered early logos; unfortunately, gang graffiti on the walls of inner city buildings continues that trend of identification through signs and pictures.” I agree always quoting: http://www.logoworks.com/logos/
  8. Good information! By the way, speaking about extensions as jpeg, jpg, gif, bmp, png, etc and of not paying; please, someone might recommend to me some good free soft to work images and to turn from a format to another?
  9. Certain XHTML is close to OLD HTML, for that reason it is right not to forget HTML but to remember the HTML of his beginnings, when everything was much easier. Really XHTML uses the HTML’s vocabulary nevertheless that is an XML application. But most important yet is to know how XHTML interacts with CSS:
  10. Far from being an expert, Iâm only a beginner who is interest to learn the new techniques of websites development and has realized some research. Since the results obtained might help other beginners too, I decided to write this paper âAbout CSS". Itâs assumed that the reader knows how to build web pages with HTML, if not visit: W3Schools' Home Page HTML DISADVANTAGE The development of web pages has experienced an important evolution in the last years due to the need to achieve every time better levels of quality in the web pages appearance and because the weakness of HTML to improve significantly this aspect. Really HTML is much better to programme documentâs structure instead to finishing its appearance. Anybody that feels more comfortable with Spanish language can go to: http://www.webestilo.com/css/css00.phtml WHAT TO SEPARATE: STRUCTURE VS APPEARANCE To precise a bit more on the apparent dilemma of structure vs. appearance we can go back to a document that still validity: [quote name='http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ has been around for a long time, but the main problem has not been with CSS, rather, browser support problems for CSS. But with the release of Netscape 6.x browsers, and the prevalence of IE browsers along with somewhat less common but CSS-savvy browsers such as Opera, we can now begin to turn to CSS for at least some of our design concerns. As a result of the growing proliferation of browsers on the Web that can support CSS, there is the growing issue that we as Web designers and developers will be seriously challenged to begin looking at Web design in new ways. The bad news is that for those of us with little experience of CSS, well, we've got to learn how to write a whole new language! Understanding What to Separate When writing documents for structure rather than presentation, you'll likely stick to the basic structural components of a document, including: ⢠DOCTYPE declaration ⢠Html element ⢠Head portion of document with title ⢠Body portion of document ⢠Within the document body, structural markup includes such things as: ⢠Headers ⢠Paragraphs and breaks ⢠Lists ⢠Divisions ⢠Tables (especially when used as intended: for tabular data) ⢠Forms Some examples of presentational concerns that are ideally separated out into style sheets would include: ⢠Alignment values (right, left, justify) ⢠Colour values ⢠Fonts ⢠Borders There are many more presentational concerns. A good rule of thumb to follow is if an element or attribute it has anything to do with the way something is designed versus the way it is structured, it is likely to be considered presentational. CSS TUTORIALS Now letâs take a look inside some CSS tutorials: Another tutorial: [quote name='http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ are many ways to link style sheets to HTML, each carrying its own advantages and disadvantages. New HTML elements and attributes have been introduced to allow easy incorporation of style sheets into HTML documents. ⢠Linking to an External Style Sheet ⢠Embedding a Style Sheet ⢠Importing a Style Sheet ⢠Inlining Style ⢠The CLASS Attribute ⢠The ID Attribute ⢠The SPAN Element ⢠The DIV Element ⢠A Note about Validation THE ROAD TO ENLIGHTENMENT Finally take a look to an excellent example of what can be accomplished visually through CSS-based design: The beauty of CSS design. [quote name='http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ What is This About? There is clearly a need for CSS to be taken seriously by graphic artists. The Zen Garden aims to excite, inspire, and encourage participation. To begin, view some of the existing designs in the list. Clicking on any one will load the style sheet into this very page. The code remains the same, the only thing that has changed is the external .css file. Yes, really. CSS allows complete and total control over the style of a hypertext document. The only way this can be illustrated in a way that gets people excited is by demonstrating what it can truly be, once the reins are placed in the hands of those able to create beauty from structure. To date, most examples of neat tricks and hacks have been demonstrated by structurists and coders. Designers have yet to make their mark. This needs to change.
  11. Thanks you vujsa for the tips you gave us about the need to comment our php code. I agree that it has invaluable importance for any programmer but mainly for the beginners, because we need to develop good code habits early. Good, let's put it into practice right now!
  12. Ii works in something like: The $_GET['c'] comes from:
  13. I'm using php5.0.4 and I got: âYou may like your Playstation 2, it cost us $100 to buy!â without fix it with the magic backslash. Please rkage, can you explain me why?
  14. I am starting to learn php using the 5.04 version. I have done the exercises that you gave us and I have noticed that the command "return" does not work, but the <br> does. Has anything been done about this in the last version? Thank rkage for the valuable help you are bringing to the beginners.
  15. I’m using the following: For HTML I employ NoteTabLight, for PHP and CSS I'm using VIM. For the work with images I utilize IrfanView and Photoshop. For uploads I apply FileZilla.
  16. I’m starting to learn php and MySQL. I chose MySQL for his following features: Finally, it is obvious that the popularity of MySQL has also been aided by the existence of phpMyAdmin, the industry-standard administration tool that makes database management easy for both the experienced developer and the novice, and this is what is helping me very much.
  17. For me Internet is a great instrument to make research. Now that we are on the knowledge era this amazing tool help me to understand almost every topic of my interest, so it will be really difficult that I will go boring. But I think there is a lot of chances that we could lost time on irrelevant issues, so I take care of it.
  18. I only would add that:Surely cookies can be used well or bad like many other things in life. So, the problem it isnât cookies, the real problem is the intention of who use it in a bad way, then by no way itâs a technical or computer topic; really this is an issue of human behaviour. I suggest better we restrict our opinions on the technical aspects of cookies.
  19. I donât think that youâre going of topic VG. I think that the topic is how to achieve efficacy in the long term: How not to suffer serious injuries derived from not being able to work adequately at the computer, which implies certain physical preparation and appropriate psychological attitude also.
  20. OK, we wonât delete the desktop icons, but do you know that Sysprep for Windows XP cleans the desktop icons and shortcuts in an effort to reduce desktop clutter? In order to prevent that see: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us?x=13&y=9. But, please take care about the âImportantâ warning at the beginning of the article.
  21. All that has to do with cleaning the registry is new to me and I think my system needs some cleaning, so I downloaded http://personal.inet.fi/business/toniarts/ecleane.htm. But before applying it, it says I need to get a Back up of the whole registry: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us and http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Can anybody tell me, if thatâs what I have to do?
  22. I have been using Spybot and Ad-aware with Norton for a long time. In some cases I have had to remove the bug manually with the support of some specialized webpage. Right now I’m testing the Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta1.
  23. I began with Notepad and Editpad, later in order to style my documents, I started to use Notetab Light and AmayaWX; finally now that I want to learn PHP I downloaded Vim.
  24. 1. Microsoft Outlook Email software 2. Mozilla Firefox Browser 3. Open Office Word processor 4. Contact Plus Pro Customer relationship and contact management software 5. ASAP For meet and collaborate through online web conferences.
