all those on... things are javascript. They don't really have anything to do with the anchor tags. You could set onclick etc on other tags as well.

You might be able to do that with WordPress as well. I'm afraid I have no experience at all with WP, but looking at this site and this site it seems like you should be able to tweak the layout of your WordPress blog.

Llinking within a document: ...<a href="#ch3">Go to chapter 3</a>texttexttext<a name="ch3">Chapter 3</a>texttextWhen you click on the "Go to chapter 3" link you go to the anchor with the corresponding anchor.

Either one of those should work: <a href="#" onClick="history.back()">Back</a><a href="#" onClick="history.go(-1)">Back</a>

No it isn't. A fetus is not a person and does not have rights. Your "argument" depends entirely on potentiality, and I don't think that's a valid point.

Well, Tahoma and Verdana (which are basically the same but with different amount of letter-spacing) have been designed to be used on computer screens. Generally sans-serif fonts look better because they don't have small squiggly bits on them, which means they can be rendered better by computer screens. The problem with Verdana (and Tahoma) is that so many sites are using them that they can seem a bit plain. If you are looking for a serif font to use on your website then Georgia and Palatino should be good choices, both are fairly standard and I know at least Georgia has been made for computer screens. It is a good idea to add some extra line-spacing if you are using a serif font though, trust me.

Well, I'm not sure how much you want to customize your blog, but if you really want to customize things a lot then MoveableType is often seen as the blog of choice for people who really want to customize things a lot. If it's just the layout things you are worried about you could go for something else. I've heard good tings about WordPress. Here is a comparison chart between a lot of different blogging systems. The person who made the chart has also written about the choice they made, here. Perhaps you should check the choice page first, it is a bit easier to read.

Since your current employer is in a different field, they shouldn't mind if you do some stuff on the side. But it would be a good idea to check. Start building a portfolio. This is important. Contact people you know who perhaps have a webpage, but a very simple one. Or people you know who have their own businesses and so on, networking is important. Get people to let you design their sites. I suggest that you do this part-time and stay on with your current employer until you have a decent portfolio. After that it's all up to you. Being a freelance webdesigner starting out on your own can be rough, and getting work can be hard. So check that you can pull in customers before trying to make a living out of it. Like in most freelance businesses networking is incredibly important. Go to all those business-network get-togethers, meet the local entrpeneurs, hand out business cards. You might want to find a good hoster and a good webdesigner in case you don't want to do all of the hosting all of the time, same for design.

If you have a dynamic IP you could sign up at http://www.noip.com/ to get yourname.no-ip.com as your domain name. That way you'll always have a domain that points to your computer. Then if you really want the uni.cc domain to point to your computer you can set it to redirect to your no-ip domain. Another thing you should think about is getting a decent firewall if you don't already have one (the Windows built-in firewall doens't count). And you should check with your ISP that you are allowed to set up a server on your connection. Good luck

Open Internet Explorer and go to Internet Options, probably under "options", "extra" or "tools". I'm not really sure. Click on the "Programs" tab and check the box which has "Check if IE is the default browser" (or something like that) next to it. Now click on "OK" and close Internet Explorer. Start it up again and it should say something like "Internet Explorer is not the default browser, do you want to make Internet Explorer the default browser?". Click on "Yes" and you should be done.

If you want standards compliance, you should stick to Dreamweaver, that's the only WYSIWYG editor I know of that tries to make compliant pages. But if you want a recommendation: I recommend not using a WYSIWYG editor at all. If you want a tutorial on making a three-column page with a header and a footer, without using tables the Floatutorial is pretty good. You want Tutorial 9, at the bottom of the page. Or you could try the Layout-o-matic. Or Glish. The internet is filled with CSS tutorials

You need to get an extension for Firefox to use mouse gestures. I think there are three extensions that let you use mouse gestures, I've been using All-in-One Gestures, which is working just fine. The other extensions that let you use mouse gestures are "Mouse Gestures" and "easyGestures".

1. preg_match and ereg_match are functions using regular expressions, regular-expressions.info is quite popular and helpful. You can get loads more help with the help of Google. 2. Haven't done anything with mod_rewrite myself, but try Google, and I think there might have been posts about it in the SEO forum here on Xisto. 3. "$sample1->//some string here " is not for arrays. Arrays are like this $foo = array( 1 => 'one', 2 => 'two', 3 => 'many', 4 => 'lots', );With =>, instead of -> -> is used when calling functions on classes/objects. So if you have an object called $foo, and that object has a function called bar(), then you could call that function with $foo->bar(); If all this talk of classes sounds strange to you, nevermind, if you don't want to use classes, you don't have to. 4. Practice makes perfect. Use PHP, a lot. That's the way to learn things. 5. MySQL doesn't really need learning, it's pretty straighforward once you've got it set up. You will need to know some SQL though, W3Schools has an SQL tutorial which, although I haven't gone through it, I am guessing is at least decent, because W3Schools tutorials are usually good. 6. I don't know why the MySQL download from the official site are so huge, PHPDev which has apache, php and mysql (and more) is only 10MB (get it here if you want), and XAMPP is pretty much the same (both for Windows). You can get MySQL from the official site for significantly less than 29MB though, for Windows, the Windows Essentials download is 14MB, and I'm guessing the Linux versions should be about there as well.

fan198281, you may want hosting, but copying someone elses posts (in this case my post) to get credits is seriously uncool. Original post: http://forums.xisto.com/topic/6264-best-blog-tool/

Well, they aren't totally illegal to use on the web, but I think what Taupe meant is that things like the font tag have been deprecated ever since HTML4. This is a guide for making HTML 3.2 documents, perhaps it should have been mentioned at the start... You can read more about the changes between HTML 3.2 and HTML 4 on the W3C website.

select max(num) from my_table where num <= 90would work just as well as the query you posted. Perhpas even better, because it doesn't use a sub-query. I don't see why this wouldn't work with MySQL. Are you having problems executing it in any way? Are you getting an error message, and if so, what is it?

I read a claim that there was a method in java.util.prefs, but otherwise it seems like people have just gone and made their own classes and/or methods. I've also head that there is an undocumented method called sun.misc.BASE64Encoder.encode. Anyway, if you want some Base64 encoding/decoding I suggest you either make your own class to handle it, or download any of the ones you find by googling for java base64.

I haven't worked with Tapestry, so I really can't say. It seems that Tapesrty is a fair bit more complex and really wants to do everything, and requires quite a bit of work even for simple things. But as I said, I haven't really done anything with it.

Whiteheart looks nice. I've been using Pinball for a while now, although I got rid of the throbber, because I didn't really like it.

I stand by my opinion that marriage should be a question of law, and that any religious ceremonies should be just that, religious ceremonies no more, no less. And I do really think that no religion should be allowed to monopolize the word marriage. It is so integrated into secular usage that I don't see how reverting it would be a good thing.In fact, I think it would be even more preferrable to have no marriage-by-law at all. But that's not going to happen any time soon.

I'm assuming you want to do it here on Xisto. Go to your cPanel and click on "MySQL Databases", here you can easily create, modify and remove users, permissions and databases. Let's say you want to make a database you will use for testing things, you might call it test. Type in "test" (without the quote-marks) and click on "Create MySQL database". Now you will have a database called leiaah_test (or if your hosting name isn't leiaah, then it will be yourhostingname_test. This happens automatically, so if you type in "leiaah_test", the DB will be called "leiaah_leiaah_test"). Next you make a user. You will use the user (and the password) to connect to the database later on. Type in a username and a password in the name & password fields and click on "Create MySQL user". Just like with the database name, the username (but not the password!) will get "leiaah_" added in front of it. Great. Now you have a database and a user, now all you have to do it grant permissions. This is so that the database server knows what the user is allowed and not allowed to do. Under " Grant permissions on a MySQL database to a MySQL user" choose the user and the database and make sure "ALL" is selected (later on you might want to change things to specific permissions, but for now ALL will do), and click on "Grant permissions". All set! You have a database called leiaah_test (or something like that), a user called leiaah_something (and a password). Hope this helps

So... You have a HTML document and the CSS all ready? Have you put it in your public_html directory here on Xisto? In that case you should be able to see it by going to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ You can add stuff to the columns by typing things in the right places in the HTML document...
