    Hi Guys, Any idea on how to change the height and width of an embeded quicktime file? <object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; width="520" height="293"> <param name="SRC" value="Montage1.mov"> <param name="AUTOPLAY" value="true"> <param name="CONTROLLER" value="true"> <embed src="Montage1.mov" width="520" height="310" autoplay="true" controller="true"></object> If I change the code: <embed src="Montage1.mov" width="520" height="310" autoplay="true" controller="true"> to: <embed src="Montage1.mov" width="520" height="390" autoplay="true" controller="true"> there is no apparent change. Any thoughts?

    Hey Guys, What I am trying to do is get the background image to have an automatic height. So if there is only 1 line of text the image will shrink to say 3px and if there is 100 lines the image will stretch to 300px. I can get the picture to resize in html with tables as you can see at: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ I had a go at the CSS: div.module { width: 180px; height: auto; font-size: 10px; font-weight: normal; background: url(http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; no-repeat; margin-bottom: 2px;}div.module div { background: url(http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; bottom left no-repeat;}div.module div div { background: url(http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; top left no-repeat; padding: 5px 5px 5px 7px;} Its a menu box that needs to change size depending on what is in the menu. So therefore it needs to be dynamic. I can't go through and manually specify each pixel. Any help would be great. Cheers

    Hi guys, I'm new to php and I think i might be having problems with my syntax. Heres a snippet of code that doesn't seem to work: <?php $csslayout = 1; ?> <div id="forumposts"> <?php mosLoadModules ( 'user1' ); ?> /* can have the code <?php $csslayout = 2; ?> */</div><?php if (csslayout == 1){ ?> <div id="content"> <?php mosMainBody(); ?> </div><?php } ?><?php if (csslayout == 2){ ?> <div id="content2"> <?php mosMainBody(); ?> </div><?php } ?> It never gets past the if statement. What am I doing wrong?

    The way to install templates in joomla is by logging in to the joomla admin page and then going to installers -> Templates - Site.You then need to upload a zip which contains the template files. The files and folders you need are as follows:templateDetails.xmltemplate_thumbnail.pngindex.phpcss\template_css.cssimages\.....You will need the same images that are specified in the templateDetails.xml file.If you go to install the template and you are unsuccessful, you should get a helpful error message. If you can't sort out the error post it back on this thread.If you are wondering what version to use i would recommend using the latest version. Its runs much smoother, less bugs etc. Joomla seems to be very compatible with earlier versions if thats what you are worried about.

    Hi guys,I have a computer that is getting wireless internet and i want to connect a Mac Powerbook G4 to that computer with a crossover cable. Is this possible? When i try connect it says it has limited or no connectivity.The other thing i was wondering is, can i connect with airport to a netgear wireless router or do i need an airport base station to receive wireless internet?

    I often experience the same problem. If i hit F5 or the refresh button the page loaded is not completely refreshed. I think the browser only reloads the obvious changes, that way it doesn't overwork.The solution that i use is to press Ctrl+F5. This gives you a completely refreshed page, reloading images and all.Hope this helps

    I don't think your brain sends messages to your eye to see. My interpretation is that the eye collects input and your brain receives that input and then interprets it. The only message going to your eye would be nerves telling your eye how to move. I might be wrong?

    Hey Saint Michael I get what your saying. I did it this way however so that i don't have to use minus alignment. #header { margin: 0px; display:block; position: relative; width: 924px; height: 290px; background: url(http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; no-repeat;} #main { position: relative; top: 0px; width: 924px; height: 643px; float: left; background: url(http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; no-repeat;} This seems to work.

    I don't need it for Java. I need it for HTML. So that when u go 'view page source' i can get something a bit more readable. Any Ideas?

    Hey guys just wondering what you think the best text editor is?I'm currently looking for one that auto-indents scrappy code.Any ideas?
  16. paulmason411
    Just to point out the obvious, polls like this won't get realistic statistics. You will get more people voting for the more favorable answers. If someone thinks they are overweight they probably won't want to submit their results as much as someone who thinks they are of an average weight. Not all viewers vote and therefore polls often display statistics relevant to only groups of people. What do u think?

    I had problems uploading when i tried uploading a folder with heaps of files in it. It would usually get to halfway and then disconnect. So now i always upload in a queue. This way incomplete uploads can be resumed :)The way to use queues is by simply right clicking on the destination folder and selecting Upload->Queue->Select...Hope this helps

    Hi, does anyone know if there is a way to display say http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ without using redirect from a to b. The real problem i have is if you try going to http://www.frusciante.net/ you will get redirected to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ where the files are stored.The code in frusciante.net is: <FRAMESET border=0 frameSpacing=0 rows=100%,* frameBorder=0> <FRAME name=bannerframe src="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; noResize></FRAMESET> So is there a way to display the files from locborg.de/fru while maintaining the frusciante.net URL in the browser?

    Hi Guys, I'm trying to work out the best way to make this site. This is what I have made so far using CSS, divs, and spans: Site: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ CSS: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ I found a problem with this attempt when you resize the browser window all the images move with it. Any suggestions on how to fix this? So basically what i want to be able to do with this is have those buttons light up some how when i roll over them. My idea was to have each button on a fairly small image, that way you don't have to reload a huge image each time you roll over a button. This is the reason i split it up like this. I was wondering, would it be easier to use CSS layers and put the roll-over image over the top of the original one each time someone rolls over it. I would use image maps for this. If anyone has ideas on how to do this in a simpler way I would really appreciate it. Cheers

    The colors look great, all I would suggest is that you have the navigation box start at the same height as the main window, and maybe add some shadow to it. I think the main content window should also stretch to the bottom of the screen so that it is inline with the menu boxes. Apart from that it looks great.Keep up the good work
  23. paulmason411
    Thanks for the help guys, its fixed now, I don't know why, but i tried an older version of the driver and it seemed to work
  24. paulmason411
    Thanks jlhaslip, very good advice and really helpful links
  25. paulmason411
    This was just a test site i made a while ago where i had problems with the layout. Maybe you can tell me where i went wrong so i don't end up repeating my mistakes. Site: http://paulmason.awardspace.com/ CSS: http://paulmason.awardspace.com/design.css Thanks guys.
