Hahahahaaha.. roflmao.. hbr you're too funny !! I still can't stop laughing let me think of my most embarassing moment. I'll come back and fill it up later.

Lol.. 99% of the time my popup killer nips them in the bud - I hardly get to see them. The only ones that come to my notice are those which slip through the pop-killer's fingers - which is followed immediately by me adding them to the kill list Pop-ups are simply crap. A much better bet is to use dynamic rotating ad banners along the page margins on the likes of google adsense. I think almost everyone uses a pop-up killer these days and thus they are such a waste!! Why would anyone want to advertise through irritating pop-ups - don't they ever get the idea that popups only serve to irritate ppl more??

That would kill you, believe me... lol.. it'd involve massive amount of rewriting of the same stuff - besides it would be extremely hard to categorize the same album under different topics or attributes. Give it a try - make a post in the Database section and you'd surely receive some guidelines to get you started.

Instead of storing all that data into some flat file - use the MySQL Databases provided to you at this host. That way you'll be able to neatly categorize them and spit out catalogues depending on whatever criteria you specify - by genre, by year of release, alphabetical order - whichever. Use a combination of MySQL and PHP to achieve this - can be done in few simple steps. All the best. P.S. If you need information on howto break up your data in the database in order to avoid redundancy or associate all the attributes with each of the albums, make another post in the Database forum and we'd be happy to help you out.

Stomach Ache 1. Aren't we supposed to quote the whole thing ? How else do we see the quote chain ? 2. Aren't we also supposed to mention another topic at the end ? Here's my topic: Vampire

Hi all, I found a very good site at MS which offers 101 short movie clips to strenghten various aspects of VB Programming and the IDE. Drastically cuts down on the learning curve. A very useful site for beginners: If you missed the link above, here it is again: Visual Basic.NET through Movies All the best

This is probably because cuteftp simply transfered your folder and not the files within it - which is a pretty unlikely case.. but anyways, you should try uploading those files separately and put them in the appropriate folder.. there's no other method involved. You have to get all your files up in order to display your page correctly.

Found a soution from MySQL Forums. It worked with some additions to the connection string: "allow zero datetime=no" - that made the type cast work perfectly. Here's the working code again for your reference. Dim BirthDate as Date................ConnectionString = "Server=.....;....; allow zero datetime=no"QueryString = "Select * from whatever"'Code for query............BirthDate = CType ( myReader.Item ( "BirthDate" ), Date ) That's it - now you can format the BirthDate variable to any desired format using the VB.Net "Format" command. Also this way you don't have to specify how to pre-format and fetch a field in the Query String. A simple "SELECT *" suffices - you just pick that specific field and typecast it to the native VB.NET format.

On two islands of thailand: 1. Koh Tao (Koh = Island, Tao = Turtle. This island is aptly named coz it does look like the back of a partially submerged turtle from far). 2. Kon Phangan - Another island around 1.5 hours from the former. Not sure about the origin of its name. But these two are the hardcore party islands - the snaps you see are of those parties that take place there every month around the full moon.

Here I am again - this time not to be overcome by the limitations of the board software. It won't permit me to post more than 10 pictures in one post - so I created the whole gallery at imagshack. Here's the link: http://exs.cx/ Also a quick preview of the images in this gallery: Have fun More to come sooooon

Thanks a tonne guys for all those great comments Posting a full-blown gallery sometime soon

Get it here: http://resource-hacker.soft32.com/ - that's resource hacker. What search feature are you looking for ?

I'm sick & tired of the commercial/freeware DB Import/Export tools - the limitations they have and the complex process involved in some - and yet their failure to update data properly in most cases. I've used most of the EMS series of mysql imp-ex utils and am not at at happy with the result (specially abt it's incapability to transfer unicode data). So I'm off to write one on my own that'll be simple and versatile. It'll either be designed in C# or VB.NET or both. Features would include:1. A Very Simple Interface where the noobs of noobs can jump right in and start working2. Gradually implement as many DB support as I can to make it very flexible about source and destinations DBs.3. A good mapping screen where you can map different fields of the DBs onto each other + any kind of reformatting you want once data is extracted from the source and before it's put into the destination DB. I've already started working on one - anybody interested can join in and provide ideas/code support - all are welcome. I'm going to start a development tree (dunno with what - still not decided - any ideas ??? ) and ask all of you to join in. We'll make it opensource and try include at least as many features that some of the commercial variants have. Lets beat the *hit out of them, shall we ? This can be our first collaborative opensource project :PP.S. Since my current project involves heavy MySQL Usage + I'm more familiar with MySQL at this point, the starter routines are going to involve data mapping between MySQL and Excel/Access. And then gradually we can introduce support for the other Databases.

See XHTML - or Extended HTML as it is commonly known as is a superset of HTML - i.e. it's HTML with lots more newer features of XML incorporated into it.. can call it as NextGen HTML But XHTML defines a lot of strict rules that you've to follow while coding, some of them being: Besides, XHTML permits you to include bits of other markup languages like MathML, SMIL, or SVG - which you cannot do in HTML. Infact, XHTML & HTML cannot be intermixed. The biggest difference is probably the well-formedness of XHTML docs. In case you want to convert your current HTML docs into well-formed XHTML docs, you can use: HTML Tidy or the Amaya browser/editor. As for your .shtml docs, they are way different from HTML or XHTML.. shtml extension files were infact indicative of HTML documents containing SSI (Server Side Include) statements. Those were a different breed of extensions on HTML to enhance it's capabilities. SSI is defined as: More Info on XHTML & SSI:1. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ 2. http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/2004/xhtml-faq 3. http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/ 4. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ 5. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/ssi.html

Well filemaker 7 isn't really a programming system - it's just another well-known database software with a Rapid Application Development (RAD) Interface - where you can drap & drop objects to give a quick shape to your database interaction interface - quite similar to the interface design for MS-Access. This isn't meant for any general purpose programming - the interface designer can be used to design frontends solely for FileMaker databases.

This is going to be great fun. While you guys are discussing techniques of turning off the context menu with the help of JavaScript, I'm going to provide you with a single line of code that can turn the context menu BACK ON, for sites that have it disabled... lol.. Just so that you guys know, how WEAK this form of protection is. If you're using firefox, simply create a new bookmark button in your bookmark toolbar or inside the main bookmark organizer (wherever you feel comfortanle) - and in the location URL property of this bookmark, enter the following: java script:void(document.oncontextmenu=null) - for me, I have an extra bookmark button on my toolbar, titled, "Enable Context Menu" with this piece of code as the URL. When you browse to a site which has disallowed the Right-Click Save menu, simply click on this button once and that's it - you'll be able to use the rt-click save again... Have fun

Where did you get this tip from ? That find key, delete key should have contained the name of the whole key which looks somewhat like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Driver\Unimodem\Init and \Settings - the key that you're supposed to edit, is missing from your instructions. So I suggest you go back to the site you got these instr. from and try get that key which you're supposed to edit. Cheers

HotZone was an awesome book that gives you quite a different perspective of these ultramicroscopic protein threads that can wreak such havoc upon the world. It did make great reading and immediately after that I was off to surf for more info on Ebola.. Luckily for us, this virus seems have sanboxed itself in an intensely hot climate like that of Africa. I haven't heard much of this being transmitted to other nations. Otherwise we'd have looked at another worldwide epidemic.

See, for copied posts, when we do the credit adjustments - it works fine for hosted members. The system calculates the credits he might have got for this post and deducts a suitable amount from the hosting credits. But for non-hosted members this goes complete bonkers and sets the value to somewhere in the -12800.xx range. But that doesn't affect the members account in any way other than showing up as an ugly figure right on top of the page. lloyd - if you see such posts - you should bring it to the notice of the mods. There' a button named "REPORT" on the left hand corner below each post. Use that button wisely. It's not always humanly possible to keep track of all such posts even with a great team of dedicated mods working in here. Slipups do happen. It's not entirely true that you can't put in parts of copied articles in here - but you cannot simply copy the whole article or combine 2-3 different articles and put them in here. The rule is that whenever you're quoting some part of an article word-to-word, use the QUOTE tags to enclose that part, and add in a "Source: <URL>" line at the bottom before the closing /QUOTE tag. This way the credit systems knows that it's a quoted part and credits are alloted accordingly. Other than that, if you learned some new concept or wish to talk about any topic that fits into our forums, you are always free to do your research and come up with an article, a good part of which consists of material written or rephrased by you (from your understanding) - and the rest can be quoted stuff (only if you're using these quoted para's to enhance the flow of the article)...

How about now ?? Well, first of all FireFox was never claimed to be the securest browser - there's nothing like a securest software in the market... for every security measure you take, 10 more loopholes can be discovered. What's meant by the high security level of firefox is that firefox is relatively more secure than browsers like IE which has to be plugged up every second week. If you compare the amount of exploits in both browsers, firefox would be way way behind than IE... as also in the frequency of bugs found in these two browsers... so there

????[/tab]The Java Development Kit aka JDK is a collection of library files & a java compiler that help you write your own java code and compile it to a portable format. Many different opensource softwares use these library files to perform various function - I guess this cocoon framework you're talking about also utilizes this. [tab]But you needn't worry even if you've no knowledge of Java. All you need to do is download this JDK and install. You can get it here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html - there are three downloads on this page, out of which you should select either of the first two. The first one contains a bonus Development Environment called NetBeans with which you can edit/compile your java code. For you I think the second package would be more suitable.. It's a windows based installer - so simply download and install. You needn't do anything more. As long as the installation goes properly, you cocoon framework will locate the java installation all by itself and get working... All the best P.S. The page I've pointed you to contains download links for Java 2 Development Kit version 1.5 and not JDK1.4 - but that shouldn't be a problem for you. These classes are backward compatible and won't present any problem for you.

Well well.. both MC and vizskywalker have done a damned good job of explaining the nuances of classes & objects - so no need of delving any further. I'll try come up with a tut. of variable scope and what you can/cannot do with objects though. Lets see if that helps you guys out.

Hey guys.. thanks for ur suggestions.. I'm trying them out now to see which one the BBCode parser will parse correctly.. I think we're seeing a solution quite soon

Well you shouldn't let the figures bog you down - you probably have no idea how many are there all around the world. If you can indeed come up with a really good feature rich site - you'll be getting mass visits from every corner of the world !! Even though I'm not much of a musician from any angle, I'd say it's definitely worth a try.. for things that you really love, always try and pursue till the end...don't stop in between even if you don't get good response. For any kind of site, it takes a lot of hard work and primarily patience - till you start getting a decent crowd or see a fair degree of success :PAll the best
