  1. Actually, that is mostly the code I use. Therefore, you have the same problem, too. When I reduced the font size, the box connected to the first link appeared behind the third link. z-index would solve the problem, but only in IE7, Firefox and Opera.
  2. Since it's an idea that has already been widely spread, you will have to think of something unique. Most of these games have a build-fight-defend system, so I think you should rule that out. An example of a good browser game is http://www.slavehack.com/. It is completely different from the patter I just mentioned, because you are not controlling an army or whatever. You are working alone and hacking other players But I'm not innovative, I would be able to think of anything - I just gave you these pointers considering uniqueness.
  3. Yeah, it does work fine in IE7, but many people are still using IE6 probably because they:1) Have an extremely slow connection, so they can't update2) Don't know how to update/don't even know that there is an updateI am still following the rule that it must be the same in all browsers, or at least most of them. And leaving out IE6 (and lower) isn't an option for me.What about JavaScript? I'm not a JS fan, but if it can solve this problem, I'll have to use it
  4. OK, as far as I can see, the problem is solved in both Opera and Firefox. I just added the second CSS modification, which is this: #ocene a:hover span { display: block; background-color: #e5e5e5;................ z-index: 100;} That way, I am telling the comment to be above everything else with a z-index of 100. However, Internet Explorer doesn't seem to get it. It still displays grades above the comment. I don't know it it's because the anchors are relative, but it is really bothering me
  5. I am trying to solve the same problem as we speak. But yours doesn't seem as complicated as mine - you just need to add the z-index property on several places in your CSS file. You might want to check out this topic for my problem, and this link for some details on z-index.
  6. Wierd.. It's working now, but it isn't logical! I have set the z-index property in a.imp, but not in a, and that's when it's working. However, if I set it for a, too, it isn't displayed correctly. It's weird, because only the red grades are .imp. Any explanation why this is so? ~edit~ Aah, the problem is still there, sort of. The blue grade comments are working fine, but the red grade ones are above red and below blue grades
  7. I have never heard of that property before, and I'll be sure to remember it, but it isn't helping here. I tried editing various CSS parts with z-indexes, but it didn't change. I probably wasn't quite precise at explaining the problem, so here's a specific screenshot.
  8. What browser are you using? I am sure the pop-up box works in Firefox and customizing it for other browsers will be sorted out later on.
  9. I am currently developing an online application where people will be able to store their school grades along with comments. I wanted to make comments look elegant, so I decided to use a hidden box that would appear when hovering over a certain grade. I've found a way to do it without JavaScript, and that is by using pure CSS and relative/absolute positioning. But that's not the main problem. When I hover over a grade, the normal text is covered by the box (it overlaps the text), but the other grades aren't. I suppose that is happening because the grades have "position: relative" And that's what I need help about. How to alter my CSS so the box overlaps everything? You can see the problem here, and my CSS file here
  10. It's not all about knowing the language, but knowing how to solve the problem That's what I've been doing in my school for the past year. We are using Pascal, but doesn't stop us from solving extremely hard problems The necklace one is easy
  11. Since I have never worked in C++, forgive me if there are any errors, since I'm going through a tutorial in order to solve this. #include <iostream>int main (){ // Variables short first; short second; short previous; short current; short help; // Input and communication with the user cout << "Insert the first digit: "; cin >> first; cout << "\n"; cout << "Insert the second digit: "; cin >> second; cout << "\n"; cout << "The necklace is: "; // Preparing for the loop previous = second; current = (first + second)%10; cout >> first; cout >> second; // And not the WHILE loop while ( (previous != first) || (current != second) ) { cout >> current; help = previous; previous = current; current = (help + current)%10; } // Writing the last digit cout >> current; return 0;} So, what are we doing here? First, the user inputs two digits. Next, we create what the second and the third digit would be. After that, it's all in the loop. We create the next number if we haven't reached the first two. When we have, the program won't enter the loop, and will write the last remaining digit (which equals the second digit).
  12. I believe that he has switched to paid hosting, therefore canceling hist Xisto account. You might want to consider contacting him via PM and asking for the file.
  13. I don't think there's anything better. Just extract the last two digits (let's call it "exct" and set up this condition if (exct mod 15 = 0) and (exct < 46) then condition:=true; Whereas there must be numerous solution to this, I am sure you don't want to complicate things unnecessarily.
  14. I believe that all Xisto users depend on the same PHP values and that they can't be changed just for one user. However, this can be overcome by using the .htaccess file. If you want to switch safe mode off, you just need to add this line php_flag safe_mode off I have used it for register_globals and it's working. Oh, and by the way, safe_mode is off, as far as I can see from my backend.
  15. The first step in fighting against bots is Image Validation. As you probably know, it shows a random string as a part of an image, and the user should re-type it. On my forums (IPB 2.0.0), however, bots somehow manage to overcome this obstacle. The next move is activating e-mail validation. After completing the registration, the user is sent a validation link to the specified e-mail address. That should keep them away.Unfortunately, some of them DO get through! At least I have that problem. Now, this might be because those aren't actually bots, but rather real people spamming. But whoever it is, there is one possible solution to the problem. I don't know a lot about phpBB, but in IPB, you can hide (disapprove) posts. This is used to hide every first post of a member. That way the spam will be hidden, and you will be able to manually approve all the other posts. I know this isn't very practical, but that's the only idea I have got.
  16. If I understood you properly, you want to host another web site on your server with a new domain name, right? In that case, it's quite easy. First of all, you need to create a subdomain for your default domain name and upload the site there. After that, you just need to add an addon domain to your account that points to the created subdomain (of course, you must configure nameservers first). This way you will have a site with a domain, and nothing will reveal that its "base" URL is a subdomain
  17. I pronounce it "charr" as in "charge" If you look at it as a separate word, it seems OK - how else would you say it? Car? Not if you ask me But I'm not an English speaker, so my opinion doesn't really count
  18. Same here.. I have had this problem on another server, but it usually lasted for only a few minutes. I don't know why the server is taking so long to recover.

    Joomla/mambo?

    If you are just starting with Joomla, I'd advise you to use the older versions, because they are complete. When you get used to it (that will take a week or two), 1.5 will probably be out of beta, and you will be ready to use it.As for security, I do not know of any security issues. I've never had any problems with my site getting hacker nor have I heard of such things. However, security holes do appear every now and then - but they are always fixed quickly.

    Joomla/mambo?

    In my opinion, Joomla! CMS has a better community. The people are really nice, helpful, and there are a lot of (free) modules, components and templates.There were some issues concerning the software (Mambo) being open-source, so the staff split Combining these two systems is still easy, since all the Joomla versions use mostly Mambo code. However, with the release of 1.5, there will be some major changes, so you won't be able to use Mambo skins on Joomla to the same extent.
  21. I think it's just a computer generated image. Mermaids are urban legends, and so far there hasn't been any scientific proof of their existence. Therefore, these creatures aren't real.Furthermore, if the picture was really worth paying attention to, it would have already been on the news and everyone would know about it. And let's face it - the news(paper) talk about numerous unconfirmed things, but yet they haven't mentioned the mermaid, so I doubt it's anything special.
  22. Aah, you are right! I've just checked my MSN, since I have those three emoticons, and that's what yordan was talking about - it shows 1513kb So yes, you shouldn't worry, it's just a prank.P.S. The "new window" thing you mentioned confused me - but I suppose it was just a new conversation window, right?
  23. Aah, if only it were that easy.. You see, the mod that displays the latest activity doesn't work that way. While "browsing" the database, it doesn't check the permission. It just takes the last thirty rows and posts them to the forum. I am sure it could be sorted out, but why bother when you can't even access the topics
  24. You should be able to figure out that by having a look at the nameservers used by that domain name. If the host's address is host.com, they will probably have ns1.host.com or something similar. For example, ns1.smth-host.com is also an option. The link saint-michael gave you provides you with more detail, but might also provide you with the "end" provider, not necessarily the "real" one. Here's what I'm trying to say: if the host is just a reseller, http://whois.domaintools.com/ will give you the host THEY are using.
  25. Woah, $3.74!? That's way too much if you ask me! Just take a look at Xisto - Web Hosting - for less money ($3.33) you could get 2.1GB of space and 33.3GB of bandwidth Of course, I am sure you don't need all that, but I am just pointing out that four dollars for such plan is a rip-off. As for transfering your web site, I believe that it will be rather easy. Firstly, you will have to move all the files - for that, you will use a FTP manager, since it's a simple drag-and-drop procedure. Secondly, you will have to move the database, which is also acomplished in a few steps. Lastly, you might have to edit some configuration files, but that is just 5 more minutes.
