I don't exactly spend a lot of time here now that I am busy with work and other stuff. I just visit every 2-3 days and then stay here for 1 hour or less to catch up on the posts which have been created while I did not login. There are indeed some very interesting discussions here and you find things here what you may not find in other forums. This forum is more of a general forum, a little of everything, Programming, technology, love, fitness ... etc you name it here, you have it. The only coverage which I hope will increase is sports, there seems to be very little talk on football (NOT AMERICAN FOOTBALL).

Well this is a bit primitive but cool nonetheless

 

Just 1 word of advice, stop lying on the Windows legacy, Vista is rubbish and a total replicate of Mac OS X, move away from Windows and go to Mac. Windows Vista is just going to have more and more bugs, considering how long it took them to develop it, and this is not going to be a relapse of the XP era, more and more bugs are going to be churned out because it is a new system.

I use the old conventional method, Google Talk or Windows Live Messenger alerts me with every new email I receive, and I click on them and then, I will be brought to the page to read my emails. I have tried using Thunderbird, but I didn't really like it because I could not get it to work with GMail for me. For some reason, I was not receiving any emails instantly, even if it was sent, so I am back to using the old web browser methods of reading email.

As of late, when I used the original URL I bookmarked for my CPanel, I was not able to access it. Perhaps they have made some modifications which made it like that, I just accessed using e.g. [youruser].trap17.com/cpanel and it is working fine.

There is nothing unordinary, I can't seem to picture why the different placing of codes can lead to 2 different results

A wierd problem I am encountering here ... I would appreciate it if I can get any advice ASAP

I have tried to use paging in my page. It seems to be working fine when I put it with the main block of SQL codes

<%Dim Conn		'Connection to DatabaseDim RS			'RecordSetDim SQL			'String for SQL StatementsSet Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")Set RS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")Conn.Open strConncMaxTopLevel = 8i_pagenum = 1SQL = "SELECT * FROM PROMO_CORNETTO_ROYALE"RS.open SQL,Conn,3,3i_pagenum=1if request("page")>1 then i_pagenum=request("page")RS.pageSize=cMaxTopLevel for indx = 1 to RS.Pagecount	if indx <> Cint(i_pagenum) then		response.write "<a href=view1.asp?page=" & indx & ">" & indx & "</a> "										else		current_page = indx		Response.write "<b><font face=""Arial"" size=""2"">" & indx & "</font></b> "	end ifnextif i_pagenum>1 then	RS.AbsolutePage=i_pagenumelse	'dont set RS.AbsolutePageend if%>

However when I attempt to put this with the html portion like this:

<span class="text">Page <%for indx = 1 to RS.Pagecount	if indx <> Cint(i_pagenum) then		response.write "<a href=view1.asp?page=" & indx & ">" & indx & "</a> "										else		current_page = indx		Response.write "<b><font face=""Arial"" size=""2"">" & indx & "</font></b> "	end ifnextif i_pagenum>1 then	RS.AbsolutePage=i_pagenumelse	'dont set RS.AbsolutePageend if%></span>

The page does not refresh when I click on another one. Can anyone tell me what is the problem? It seems really wierd that putting it with the other VB code works and when I bring it to the HTML, it cease to work. I need to complete this portion in less than 4 hrs, so hopefully I get a reply ASAP.

BuffaloHELP, as you said, when I noticed there was a problem with possibly the SQL component, I immediately went to the Xisto website to check on the network status but I did not notice anything peculiar with the exception of IOTA server which is the mySQL server, the Apache part is always offline, is it supposed to be like that? I just feel that the Xisto account has been going down pretty often recently, and hopefully this is not anything major but thanks a lot for your explanation, at least I am not kept in the dark anymore. It would be good to post the announcements of any server updates or changes somewhere so that we all know it is a server upgrade or whatever, instead of the hosting actually being down.

This is freaky, when I logged into my admin panel and saw this news in the announcement, I immediately downloaded 2.1.2 and uploaded it into my site. I am thankful WordPress has shown to be diligent and tip top in terms of service. Imagine if those crackers actually executed remote procedures, what would have been the consequences? I have already made a post on my site regarding this as well

I had 2 Gmail accounts, but the first one is inactive. I got my first GMail account from an invite, there was this guy giving out free invites, so I just gave him my email address and viola! I had a GMail account, I wasn't really that excited, I just wanted to try out GMail to see how it is like. But Hotmail was still primarily my main email account, now I use the GMail for official business, Hotmail is for my thrash (haha). I signed up for my 2nd GMail account because I wanted a new Email address, I registered and Google sent the details to my mobile. On the whole, I am not all that excited about a new Email maybe because I don't use it much except for messenging in MSN.

I have been experiencing a lot of downtime recently, it may be short bursts of them, not lasting more than 2 hours. BUT I have been getting it almost everyday, and it is getting frustrating when I am making a new post in my blog and I can't post because the SQL component is down, and a download dialog pops up asking me to download the page which I am which in this case is 'post.php' I understand that Xisto is a free service and all but can the admin team do something about it, it is very frustrating as a user as well, I have had quite a number of feedback from the visitors that my site is down ever so often. I remember the admins saying that the reason why the site is down is due to the upgrades made to the CPanel. But what I would like to know is why are these upgrades constantly happening every single day? I believe even as free users of Xisto, we deserve an explaination.

The empty space in the center and the additional graphics at the side makes your banner look empty, try to reorganize the placing of the graphics because this is certainly not I would like to see in a banner. I don't really like the colors. They are a little too bright red for me. Other than that, I don't see how else I can comment since this is some sort of a basic template for a forum.

I have went on your site and tried clicking on several radio buttons to test the error you are facing. But nothing seems to be wrong, the price is reflected in my browser. Just so you know, I am using Mozilla Firefox. And everytime a radio button is clicked the price is updated as well. I think you have fixed the problem yourself already

This is a very long description of your program, but honestly, I am too lazy to go through all that. I would very much like to try out this calculator you have created and who knows maybe there are some bugs which you can solve to make it even better than it is. Is it hosted on any url?

For WordPress, you can install 2.0 using Fantastico and if you want to upgrade, you can just download the latest version (2.1.2) and then overwrite them, it is the same thing really, as upgrading using CPanel. It may be a little of work, but ever since I set up my blog, I have been just overwriting the files to my current directory and it automaticcaly upgrades.

The site took quite some time to load and perhaps you could slice more parts of the website, it might not take so long to load a particular area of the site like the banner. The background design is remarkable, I wish I could do it. For some reason, the buttons just do not match well with the overall layout, perhaps you could work on that as well. And just as what sylenzednuke said, centralise the website. It will look more balanced especially in a larger resolution. I use 1280 * 1024, I can't imagine how it would look like left-aligned on my screen. Perhaps what your site lacks now is its substance, content I am looking forward to seeing your programming assignments

So this is a standard form then. And you are only trying to validate the fields the user enters in?Well you could do the basic validation like checking for empty fields. Make use of the getElementById and use the value field to check for any empty strings submitted by the user. You can also use the isNaN(value) function to check whether it is a number or not. I think ultimately, this is what you are looking at since it is a calculator, it has to deal with numbers and not Strings. So also remember to convert them into integer or whatever depending on your needs. Hope I have helped you

With this do you mean you want to create everything from javascript or create a standard form using normal HTML tags and then making use of Javascript to actually compute the values the user enters in. If I am not wrong, you are also trying to integrate an AJAX function into this form too? Since you want to have the fields where you type in the numbers and it gives you the answer. So after a user types in a value, it will compute automatically and display in the results field.

I have found a solution to the problem, but I don't know if it was actually the solution. I used the same name for every checkbox meaning 5 checkbox being named as lead_role or something. I name it as different seperate names, and it works perfectly fine. Thanks for all your help anyways

I don't think it is a problem you are saying. This is where my javascript is located.

<head><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="validation.js"></script></head>

This is how my form was created.

<form name="form1" id="form1" onsubmit="return validate();" action="register_process.asp">

Please reply me ASAP as I am rushing for time.

I have attached the form as well as the javascript, hope to get a reply soon.

form.txt

js.txt

Alright I have created the form and the validation was done using a for-loop. What I need to know is how to bring it to an processing page which is an .asp format so I can effectively add it to a database. I have created several forms through javascript as well. Would appreciate it if I could get some assistance. Can anyone suggest to me how I can do it?

I did a form, I created a checkbox under the same name 'lead_role' but I can't seem to access it in my javascript validation.

This is the code in my HTML page

<input name="lead_role" id="lead_role" type="checkbox" class="style30" value="1">

And this is the validation I am testing out

alert(document.form1.lead_role.checked);

My browser returns me an 'undefined' alert message.

The only way I was successful in accessing the element is using the getElementById() method but that only gets the very first instance of the checkbox.

Can anyone help me out? Thanks

Well the site would be in english unless we had some massive group of people from Singapore. They wouldnt submit stuff and get stuff because it would be in english. That is like saying im going to write a website in C++. They are two different things. Example would be wikipedia. They have english, german, ect.It seems as though no one really understands this. OK, you have to submit homework.

Singapore uses english as its basic language, other languages serve as their 2nd. So Singapore just like any english-speaking country, use english as their medium to communicate.

You can not just simply post a piece of homeowork either. It has to go through three people and they grade and then average it. If it passes with at least a D it goes on the site. It is then marked as a approx grade of a D if you turn it in. We would check if it were plagiarism using they same software as teachers It searches the ENTIRE web including teacher submitted homework from students. It not only checks for homeork it looks on sites to see if they copied and pasted. And it's not like the USA's education could get any worse anyways. It's one of the worst in the world. Even worse when you consider the amount of money we have.

This is the same issue I have mentioned, you mentioned searching on the web, that is fine. But many schools do not release their top essays onto the internet, it is perhaps maybe contained in their school intranet folders. How can you ensure that there isn't any act of plagiarism? I don't think USA's education is poor, there are so many well known universities people like us in Singapore aspire to go to further our studies.

After doing some pondering, I am not sure if I want to make my code more complicated when I have a site which is compatible in Firefox 2.0 as well as IE 6 and 7. Perhaps if I ever encounter a problem which needs specific solutions to different browsers, I would use the conditionals. Right now, I have found a common solution so I guess I will leave it at that. Thanks for the replies though, I have gained an extra gram of knowledge with conditionals in web programming.

I did what you said rvalkass. But it did not work, I am not sure whether I did anything wrong. I have added you on MSN. CrazyRob: Did you ever managed to filter out a voice from a song during your job?
