Hey, just a thought.Perhapes offering a small discount to active forum members would boost your paid hosting numbers.Just a small incentive to leave the free hosting and start paying for hosting but require hosting credits from forum posts. Of course the offer would have to be for a better package that the standard free package.I'll start a poll and see what the membership thinks.happy administrating, vujsa

Hey, thanks for the reply. That's a great tip!Unfortunatly it was late when I typed the question and looking back I realize I didn't make myself very clear.I was looking for information about domain forwarding and not HTML forwarding.With the domain forwarding, the refering domain doesn't have to be hosted, just parked. With HTML forwarding, the refering domain has to be hosted and well as the target domain.I wanted an all roads lead to Rome type setup and not all roads lead to an airport where you can catch a plane to Rome.Network Solutions offers this type of forwarding and masking. But I wanted more information and their website isn't very descriptive on the subject.Sorry for the confusion. I hope this clarifies my question.Thank you, vujsa

Well, you'll need a wireless access point and a wireless adapter for the PC. You can use two wireless adapters but that requires the hardwired PC to be on if you want to be able to go online with the wireless PC. You wont have to worry about being too far away from the access point in your average sized house. http://www.linksys.com/gb/ A lot of good information here. Hope this helps. vujsa

Okay the problem is caused by the word "system" being confussed by the script as being part of the script. You'll need to add a regular expression to hide that word from the script and make it reappear for the user viewing the post. You may be able to use addslashes() and stripslashes() to solve the problem. I'm not familiar with Phpbb's code so I can't really specify where to adjust you code. Here are examples of hiding the "bad" word. Regular Expressions Example: $unformatted_message = "My PHP doesn't like the word system!";$formatted_message = eregi_replace("system", "sys_tem", $unformatted_message);This code would change the message form "My PHP doesn't like the word system!" to "My PHP doesn't like the word sys_tem!"since your Php script doesn't care about the word"sys_tem" you won't have a problem. You will need to convert the message back when you show it to users. Just do the opposite: $formatted_message = "My PHP doesn't like the word sys_tem!";$unformatted_message = eregi_replace("sys_tem", "system", $formatted_message);Now the code reads the same as when the user enterd it. Additionally, addslashes() and stripslashes() probably won't fix your current problem but if the code doesn't have (It probably has) an addslashes() and a stripslashes() routine then many errors can pop up. I chose sys_tem instead of _system because you would need more code to determine if the original word was System or system. Hope this helps. vujsa

Just to throw my 2 cents in.I disabled messenger a long time ago. I never really liked IE and don't use the MSN or its messenger so I don't need it. Considering the amount of resources required to keep messenger working I simply deactivated it. I get back those cpu cycles and memory space. I guess my vote is for MSN Messenger 0.0.0Or like David Spade in the Capital One commercial"I like MSN Messenger version zero point NO!"I don't have anything against anyone that uses MSN or the messenger. In fact I'm sure the feature is great for those that use it.Happy chatting, vujsa

The amount of time it takes to load depends on all of the same factors as downloading and uploading files. Connection Speed (Target Server, Transit Servers, And Client) Distance Between The Client And Server Number Of Servers Between The Client And Server Number Of Analog Lines The Data Travel On Server Hardware Client Hardware Server Load At a busy time on a busy day if you are using dial-up and have fifteen windows open including a P2P, not typing the www could slow the connection by several seconds. So I guess it is your decision. You can be lazy and not type the duba-duba-duba-dot (www.). -OR- You can be impatient and press four more keys to load a page faster. Oh by the way, check your bookmarks or favorites and make sure that the entire address is present for each site listed. Happy surfing, vujsa

That's funny, you replied to this topic twice, but I understand what you are saying. This would have been better as a poll. Okay, so now I've replied twice as well. vujsa

I learned HTML about 10 years ago by printing the both the source and page of Indiana University's index.html. I went line by line until I learned how to write everything on the IU homepage.I remember I had the most trouble with ordred and unordered lists. I'd always use <OL> instead of <UL> and vise versa.My first web page was a VW story that wrote. To create the page I had to use a shell editor called emacs. The editor was quite old and required the use of shortcut keys for arrow up, down, left, right; backspace; and delete; oh of course save was alt_S.At the time I didn't know how to ftp or create graphics so I didn't have anything but text.I remeber being excited when tables were supported.I guess I'm old ...school. Tell me your HTML history.vujsa

I was wondering how web forwarding works. What I know: If the target address is http://www.foo.com/ And if http://www.foo.net/ is set to forward to the target Then entering http://www.foo.net/ will forward to http://www.foo.com/. This forwarding method actually change the address in the browsers address bar. ie. Typing http://www.intel.com/buy/us/en/ forwards to http://www.intel.de/content/www/de/de/homepage.html If a mask is used in addition to the forward then the address bar doesn't change. The domain name typed in the address bar remains the same but the content is from the target domain. It is like having 2 identical web sites but in fact there is only one domain with content and the other domain only pretends to be the originals identical twin. Here's what I want to know: Can the target domain be a sub-domain? If masking is used, do all of the internal links need to be relational links? Does the refering domain and target domain need to be on the same server? One parked and one hosted? Where can I get forwarding service other that NetSol? Any help would be great. Thanks, vujsa

Neat tip. It should come in handy from time to time. Does it still work on pages generated on-the-fly? Or just give the date and time that the page was requested.Still a cool trick none the less.Keep up the good work. Happy coding, vujsa

HTML 102 - Web Design For Beginners More Basic HTML Writing This will be part two of a multi-part HTML tutorial. Please don't post advanced HTML replies to this article. This tutorial is specifically written for beginning HTML writers. Requirements: Software: Web Browser, HTML Editor. Knowledge: HTML 101 - Web Design For Beginners. Skills: Ability to press the keys on the keyboard. So you have read and understood HTML 101 - Web Design For Beginners and you want to learn more. So far we have talked about a very basic web page. Black on white and a link or two. Not very interesting. So next well add images and later talk about page formating. Just to review, let's look at our basic code. Our basice web page from HTML 101: <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> Here is my first web page! </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <CENTER> My First Page.<BR> </CENTER> More text here.<BR> <A HREF="http://forums.xisto.com/ Text</A><BR> <A HREF="https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/home here yo go to PayPal!</A><BR> </BODY></HTML> Now to add an image like a photo, logo, or banner; we'll use the image search tag. Example: <IMG SRC="foo.com/images/image102.jpg; The <IMG> tag is another one of the very few tags that does not need a closing tag. Here is our image in our basic HTML code: <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> Here is my first web page! </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <CENTER> My First Page.<BR> </CENTER> More text here.<BR> <A HREF="http://forums.xisto.com/ Text</A><BR> <A HREF="https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/home here yo go to PayPal!</A><BR> <IMG SRC="foo.com/images/image102.jpg; </BODY></HTML> Now if "image102.jpg" is a photo of your family or favorite car, the code above is geat; but if you have a banner, you'll need to associate a link with the image. Using an anchor tag <A> to create a link allows text to be linked by placing the text between the opening and closing anchor tags. <A>text</A>. Instead of placing text between the tags, place an <IMG> tag between the tags. Example: <A HREF="http://www.foo.com/ SRC="foo.com/images/image102.jpg; Now clicking the image takes you to http://www.foo.com/. Okay, that is everything you need to know in order to create a usable web page. But the page will continue to be pretty boring. Let's dress it up a little. The first thing you'll need to do, if you haven't already is change that page title. "Here is my first web page!" is a very nice title but something a little more descriptive about the content of your web page would be better. The text between the <TITLE></TITLE> tags is the text that shows up in the upper left corner of the browser window next to the browser's icon. This is also the same title displayed on the tabs if multiple browser windows or browser tabs are open. Next thing to look at is that <BODY> tag. Here is where much of the pages formating is defined. Here is a list of basic <BODY> tag attributes: TEXT -> Color of normal text; TEXT="BLACK" LINK -> Color of a text link; LINK="BLUE" ALINK -> Color of an active link; ALINK="RED" VLINK -> Color of a visited link; VLINK="PURPLE" BGCOLOR -> Color of the pages background; BGCOLOR="WHITE" BACKGROUND -> Background image; BACKGROUND="foo.com/images/background.jpg; Let's add that to our code. <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> HTML For Beginners Test Page </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY TEXT="BLACK" LINK="BLUE" ALINK="RED" VLINK="PURPLE" BGCOLOR="WHITE" BACKGROUND="http://foo.com/images/background.jpg; <CENTER> My First Page.<BR> </CENTER> More text here.<BR> <A HREF="http://forums.xisto.com/ Text</A><BR> <A HREF="https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/home here yo go to PayPal!</A><BR> <IMG SRC="http://foo.com/images/image102.jpg; </BODY></HTML> Now if background.jpg was a real file, it would appear in the background; instead the background will just be the BGCOLOR "WHITE". Now, let's say that you wanted to have a black background, then black text wouldn't show up. So change the color of the text in the <BODY> tag. Example: <BODY TEXT="YELLOW" LINK="BLUE" ALINK="RED" VLINK="PURPLE" BGCOLOR="BLACK"> Note that the background image was left out. But what if you just wanted to change your text color temporarily. Maybe for a red description. We'll use the <FONT> tag to change the color of our text temporerily. Example: <FONT COLOR="RED">Here Is My Red Description!</FONT> The <FONT> tag like the <BODY> tag also has several attributes. Here are the basic <FONT> tag attributes: COLOR -> Color of the text; COLOR="YELLOW" SIZE -> Size of the text; SIZE="4" FACE -> The font of the text; FACE="ARIAL" * A note about the size attribute: There are several methods for assigning the size of the font. I've seen SIZE="+1", SIZE="1", and SIZE=1 all used. Different guides suggest different methods. I suggest a number in quotes. Yor text can be formated with several additional tags other than the <FONT> tag. Here are the basics: <B></B> -> Bold Text <I></I> -> Italic Text <U></U> -> Underlined Text Okay, just one more item this in the tutorial. The <IMG> tag has a few attributs that you'll need to know. HEIGHT -> Height of the image; HEIGHT="100" (100 pixels) WIDTH -> Width of the image; WIDTH="140" (140 pixels) Example: <IMG SRC="http://foo.com/images/image102.jpg HEIGHT="100" WIDTH="140"> Try to keep the size ratio the same as the original. like 5 X 7 = 50 X 70 or 100 X 140. Now put it all together and see what happens. Let me know if you have trouble. Happy coding, vujsa

Here's the problem with "Anon" email. Every server that the email bounces off of tags the email and saves its information. I mean these things are easier to track than a FedEx package. All you need is an IP address and the time and you can have the FBI knocking on the door of the sender in just a few hours. Just remember, unless you are a talented hacker everytime you connect to the internet you a assigned a unique IP address which is tracked by your service provider as well as each server that you connect to.So, if you want to attempt to send anonymous emails at least try to mask your IP address first.Happy incarceration, vujsa

Did you notice that after the page loads, that the address bar shows the www even if you didn't type www?The slow down is caused by the multiple connections to the pages server to figure out what you wanted to see. If you typed the www then there isn't any question and the browser only needs to connect once.vujsa

A pixel is a relitive method of measurement for graphics. That's how one printer can print 600 pixels per inch and another can print 2400 pixels per inch. So both browsers will show the content at nearly the same place if you specify 100px. The difference shouldn't be noticable unless you have other content that you don't specify the position of. Keep in mind that the users screen resolution and monitor size also effects how the page will appear in the end. Happy coding, vujsa

Western digital makes very good hard drives. Their price is reasonable and to top it all off, the package a generic drive. Actually, the drive is a true Western Digital but the box is generic. I've seen them at Circuit City. About 20% less. Happy Storing, vujsa

I used Notepad for a long time for HTML and JavaScripts. I also used Netscape's design program and then fixed the code in Notepad. But now I use CuteHTML for all of my web programing. It's just a text editor but it has line numbers and auto code insertion. Most GUI web design tools tend to do really weird things with the code they output.For example, Netscape Composer always adds a line-break between the top of the page and the table if the table is the first thing on the page.CuteHTML works great for Perl, PHP, JavaScript, etc.Happy coding, vujsa

Here is yor problem. Your code: <IFRAME valign="top" name="iframeframe" src="http://maplemjt.tk; width=800 height=470 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 frameborder=0 scrolling=auto style="FILTER:chroma(color=#E3E3E3)" allowtransparency="true" style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:100px;"></IFRAME> Working code in Mozilla:<IFRAME valign="top" name="iframeframe" src="http://maplemjt.tk; width=800 height=470 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 frameborder=0 scrolling=auto style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:100px; FILTER:chroma(color=#E3E3E3)" allowtransparency="true" ></IFRAME>You can't assign style more than once! You had style="FILTER:chroma(color=#E3E3E3)" then style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:100px;" All in the same tag. No, No, No Happy coding, vujsa

If I understand your problem correctly, then here is the solution. <BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000" LINK="#0000FF" VLINK="#800080" LEFTMARGIN="0" TOPMARGIN="0">Notice the LEFTMARGIN and TOPMARGIN arguments in the BODY tag. This tells the browser where to start. Default is like 10 from the top and 10 from the left. But this applies to the entire page. This works for layers: <BODY><div style="position: absolute; top: 230px; left: 500px;">Sample Text</div>... More stuff</BODY>This works anywhere in the body tag. I don't use IFRAME so I don't really know specifically how to get it to work. By the way, I only use Netscape except to see how IE shows my pages. So both of the examples I showed you will work for Mozilla. Happy troubleshooting, vujsa

Something I touched on breifly in this article but doesn't warrant its own tutorial is commenting client side scripting. I'll specify JavaScript. To begin with, you should place your JavaScripts inside an HTML comment tag. Example: <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- function foo() { ... ... } --></SCRIPT>This is done to hide the script from browsers that don't support JavaScript. The practice of hiding the script is fast becoming pointless due to the fact that any decent web browser is JavaScript capable. I suggest that you continue hiding the code until Microsoft Windows is provided free to everyone. Next Place HTML comments around your scripts. Example: <!-- Start Your JavaScript Here! --> <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- function foo() { ... ... } --> </SCRIPT><!-- End Your JavaScript Here! --> Finally Place script comment in your scripts.Example: <!-- Start Your JavaScript Here! --> <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- function foo() { // Same Double Slash Comment Tag As In PHP! ... ... } // End Function Here! --> </SCRIPT><!-- End Your JavaScript Here! --> Happy coding, vujsa
