Perhaps the offer would be more appealing if you offered Xisto credits as a credit for hard work. As for me, I'm not really the design person, my pages look horrible even if I mess with the CSS a hundred times!

It is best not to use cheating tactics such as the one mentioned by the OP to gain money because in the long run, you will get banned/suspended and it won't be worth it. How about doing this the honest way by having high-quality content in your site and effectively targeting users for profit?Also remember that many people block Google advertisements using Firefox's AdBlock (plus) and Opera's Content Block. These ads may be hidden/invisible to some users.

This activity seems really stupid and pointless as it creates unnecessary on/off cycles on system components such as the motherboard, hard drives, etc. I understand that rebooting many times may be necessary when installing a lot of software/hardware, etc, but doing this for absolutely no reason is really stupid and will just cause your computer to wear out faster.If you explained what happened/the point of this activity then we may consider trying it, but so far no one knows exactly why we should do this.

This is a very good tutorial nonetheless lengthy. I personally do not see much use for PDF documents unless you are scanning things in and converting those to PDF files.This method can be useful if you are trying to convert Word documents into PDF and you do not have access to certain PDF software or OpenOffice.org.I may decide to try this sometime when I need it.

I prefer1. OS: Windows XP SP2 (need to test sites in IE), or else Ubuntu2. Web Server: Xisto, XAMPP on localhost (on Windows 98)3. Database: MySQL database4. Dynamic page language: PHP5. Page designer: Notepad++6. Graphic Designer: GIMPI would design all in Ubuntu using gedit but unfortunately I need to test my sites in Internet Explorer and Safari. I don't like using WYSIWYG software because I prefer my site to be valid XHTML 1.0 Strict. I do not find WYSIWYG editors particularly helpful anyways. PHP Designer is ok, I've tried it before.

I did the exact same thing with an XML file and an XSLT stylesheet. Needed a lot of <option> things.

This is an interesting script, however, in my opinion (or game if I'm designing one), I wouldn't reset the HP back to 100.I think I might use this if I continue on with a game that I hope I'm motivated enough to create, lol.

You may have heard of methods to transform RSS feeds into XHTML by the means of an XSLT stylesheet, but there are a few problems with that method that I've found. I've encountered that if you choose to publish RSS, it won't read the XSLT stylesheet for some strange reason, and if you get it to output XHTML, it doesn't detect the RSS. So therefore, it is a complicated way to get that to work. Instead, this is a simpler way. What you will need: An PHP/XML file An XSLT stylesheet It isn't that hard and I will go through both of these with you throughout this tutorial. The PHP file In the meantime, let's not think PHP, but let's think XML. Start typing out your XML file like an RSS feed so it looks something like this: example.php To determine if the user wants to get RSS or XHTML, we will use a $_GET variable. I'll call this $type. Next is the HTTP headers and the XML declaration. To put that in code, we will do use this PHP code (put it above the XML stuff, like this): The lines added about simply declared a variable called type, which I will explain in the next paragraph. The HTTP header Content-Type was added to ensure that the server sends the file as application/xml, the correct MIME type for an XML file. The second HTTP header is optional, which specifies the language as Canadian English. The XML PI is printed out using echo for the last line. For the type variable, we can have 2 results: xhtml or rss. You may be wondering how to get users to submit a form to specify whether to get the file as RSS or as XHTML. For GET variables, that's not necessary to submit a form. The URL will look like this: example.php?type=xhtml for XHTML example.php?type=rss for an RSS feed Let's put that file aside for now and build our XSLT file. The XSLT file The XSLT file is used to transform the XML document into readable XHTML. I will not explain the components of an XSLT file here, you can learn more from http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xsl_intro.asp. Here is the code (explained at the bottom): feed_xhtml.xsl The first 2 lines are default for XSLT files. The <xsl:output /> tag is required, although I'm not exactly sure of its function. Within the <xsl:template> tag, we can see that it looks much like an (X)HTML file. Notice the <link /> tag. This will allow browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera and Safari) to detect an RSS version of this page. Now in the <body> section, you can see a tag called <xsl:for-each>. What we are doing here is finding all the <item> elements in the XML file and as you can see, printing out the title, date and description of the item in <h2>s and <p>aragraphs. This is a really basic XSLT template, you can add other HTML things like CSS and JavaScript and all that if you wish. Let's go back and link this stylesheet to the original PHP file. We only want the stylesheet to be used when the user requests XHTML, so we can use the if function: The <?xml-stylesheet ?> thing is only used when the type is xhtml, it isn't used with other types. Now you may visit this page, and no matter what variable you put in, it will still go to a page for the browser to subscribe you to the RSS feed. This is where PHP comes in handy here. All XML documents require a root element, in this case, it was <rss>. If you don't know what a root element is, learn more about XML at http://w3schools.org/xml//?gtnjs=1. But in this case, it doesn't matter as long as it is the same. If the user requests RSS, we will leave <rss version="2.0">, but if the user does not, we will change that. The final file looks like this: If the type isn't RSS, it will be <news>. You can choose any word here, but make sure that the opening and closing tags are the same. Now to see the XHTML version of the file, go to example.php?type=xhtml For the RSS feed, go to example.php?type=rss I hope you understood this tutorial and had fun with it. Feel free to correct me on anything or to suggest improvements!

Could you please explain what you are testing exactly? This JavaScript will generate an alert box with the word "test". Also, try using <script type="text/javascript"> instead of just <script> because the type attribute is mandatory in HTML4/XHTML1.

Who seriously needs to partition flash drives? The only valid reasons are either running a Linux distribution or for security purposes if you can somehow manage to password-protect a partition, or hope that Windows can't read ext3 or something. But aren't directories created for this purpose (security)?Anyways, running an operating system off of a flash drive is kinda awkward for me, it would be slow even with a USB 2.0 port and the flash drive life would die pretty quick I would think.

NVU is now "discontinued", a better version of NVU is now maintained as KompoZer, which is downloadable for Windows, Mac and Linux from here: http://kompozer.net/ NVU/KompoZer is a WYSIWYG editor and does generate valid HTML pages, it shouldn't have any positioning problems, but I haven't used it much. Give it a try.

This would work if the school/workplace/network does not block proxy servers in the first place. For instance, my school uses a word/URL filtering thing so once they detect common proxy words like "proxy", "anonymous", "private surfing" or any common keywords related to proxies on the same page, the site will be blocked. Also, they are remotely monitoring everything that we do so it wouldn't be particularly helpful.

If I understand correctly, you want to include the form page into the page with the join link. This can be achieved be the use of an <iframe>, but I do not think it is necessary to have 2 different pages for this purpose. If you are going to be processing some server-side script, you can always use PHP or ASP includes on your page.If this isn't the case, please explain your post further.

This release is meant for developers and designers because there is a new standards mode designed for full CSS 2.1 compliance, and inprovments to the HTML rendering engine, as well as support for external plugins that use MathML and SVG. It also includes performance upgrades to load pages faster, and introduces a newer feature that is similar to RSS called WebSlices.What I'm really wanting to see released is application/xhtml+xml support, but so far it has been reported that there is none in the beta.

This may be an improvement to Internet Explorer, I don't like it anyways. But I will give it a try anyways. Is there a method of installing this as a standalone application to run alongside IE7 or does this HAVE to replace IE7? I really don't like the fact that you can't have multiple Internet Explorer versions on a computer without severe compatibility issues.

I don't use all that fancy stuff, just a simple PowerToy from Microsoft. This only works if you are running Windows XP: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. Note: This will directly download the EXE file, there doesn't seem to be a product page for it. It's good enough to mount ISO images, hope it meets your needs.

Did you forget to read that I was running Windows? Anyways, the site is still accessible, DNS Client running or stopped.

So are you saying that if I disable it, the HOSTS file would be effective on Safari also?

Yes, it's Automatic and without it, I would need to type in IP addresses to access sites instead of domain names.

I found this to be quite alarming when I found that sites I blocked using HOSTS were still accessible by Safari. My HOSTS file consists of many automatically added entries by Spybot S&D and SpywareBlaster and similar programs, but I also have some user added entries also. It is a 228KB file, and a small segment that I added looks like this:127.0.0.1 myspace.com127.0.0.1 http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ ca.myspace.comI found it to be inaccessible by all user accounts using Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera and Flock. However, I tried accessing it using Safari and it was completely accessible! This applies to all user accounts. Initially I thought it was cached, but I emptied the cache and history and it still worked.Isn't the HOSTS file supposed to be network-wide? If so, how is Safari accessing it? If it only applies to Internet Explorer, then how come it is still working with Firefox, Flock and Opera?I need to block sites in Safari and it doesn't seem to include any plugins to do this effective (I'm using Windows btw, not a Mac).

Maybe today's Download.com Featured article may help: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. It lists 2 pieces of freeware and one piece of shareware that you can try out.

Your tutorial does explain the basics of animation, however you did mention expensive programs like Macromedia MX Flash and Adobe software. I was wondering if there was a free alternative to these types of software (Linux compatible would be best, however I can use Windows).This would be really helpful in explaining what animation is and the different parts of it.

Is this supposed to be legal to spy on someone? I mean, I know that they didn't take sufficient precautions to secure their cameras from the Internet but consider this: If you found the house key of another person's, is it right to go into their house and take everything?

It works in Mozilla Firefox (and related Mozilla-based browsers), haven't tried it in any other browsers yet. It's a simple piece of JavaScript, you can even make a simple HTML page and run it on the computer like this: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"><html lang="en"><head><title>Error!</title><script type="text/javascript">function virusAlert(){alert('Error 2214 - Your computer has been infected with a trojan horse virus) ');}</script></head><body onload="virusAlert()"></body></html> Put it as their home page or something if you wish.

I used to use AceHTML about 2 years ago until it froze too much on my computer for no apparent reason. Now I use Notepad++, the open-source text editor for Windows. While AceHTML is very specific in editing HTML and PHP, Notepad++ is also very good, and allows you to do other things like C, C++, etc.
