    I don't think order of appearance has nothing to do with it. But looking at your css file, you have bunch of CLASS (.tag) but nothing that definds the ID tags...Since I myself is learning css, my description could be wrong. But what I know is that you need to confine your DIV's within BODY with set width.

    Just a top of my head, would this work? Let the bodybackground to repeat-y. As you come to the end, you can make the last DIV to appear (usually a footnote or a copyright statement) and let this DIV background to be the end picture. And depending on how you have your last end picture, it will cover-over the existing background. This will be fluid or flexible according to the client side's browser height. EDIT: Saint_Michael beat me to the post

    I think the problem is you have many classes but not enough structure--I hope that is the right expression. Try defining your body to a specific width something like #body { margin: 0 auto; width: 800px; padding: 0 0; } and then define a header div as ID etc. So the basic structure of your site would be something like: <body> <div id="header"> </div> <div id="content"> <div id="right_menu"> </div> </div> </body> This way, they are all aligned within the "body" and cannot wander about. You can even do DIV for left and DIV for right and use float to divide content from menu.

    I have always wondered about how crawlers are rating my site. And I'm sure this is a universal question, too. We have discussed so many times over and over again what works and what does not: but did we ever figured out how exectaly calculated in real time? DomainTools.com, formerly known as Whois.sc, started this breaking down of SEO crawlers and released Beta version of real time SEO score and calculator. This, according to DomainTools is how a crawler would see your site. Notice on Xisto how it appears in order and alt tags in red, hyperlinks in blue. Clicking on the information bar reveals additional information as if it was producing a report: Additional information you do not see it on the screen are: Needless to say, I put my site to the test and edited to my best ability to make close to 100% relevent. Right, this is just a measure of terms in your content verses the site title and key words. But if this is what the crawlers are reporting back to its masters, there's no harm in complying with what would be a standard. To give yourself some headache and few hours of rearranging, visit http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and read on The site reports that since it is still in the Beta phase, they hope to release the service sometime in 2007 (didn't say how sooner). But in the meantime you can click on WHOIS and enter your domain. When the page is finished loading, look to the mid right hand side to launch the SEO-text-browser. For those who have Xisto sub-domain do WHOIS for Xisto, launch the text browser and type in your sub-domain. Well, at least this was the only way I found to be working.

    Compaq, if they still practice the same old configuration, stores BIOS within hard drive sector. There is no physical BIOS chip like most major brands.This was, perhaps still is, very useful if you have to chage or swap out a hard drive. All necessary information including key BIOS settings are "imaged" by a restore disk and can be implanted to a brand new drive without manual configuration. Servers were very needed something like this in the past that Compaq used it for all their computer line. But since the cheap RAID solutions these days perhaps this idea is no longer served correctly.Anyway, if your hard drive was indeed dead, you cannot access BIOS with Compaq machines--and this further solidifies a hard drive failure.

    Laptops sounds are lower than your desktop--so it may be lower than what you are used to.But check this first--if your music sounds lower than usual, under your Windows Media Player plug-in setting turn off your SRS. This is Toshiba's default set to "enhance" your media entertainment experience.If you already have or wanted louder than what your laptop can produce, try external powered speakers. Laptop, initial idea, was designed to be portable and desk space-saving--not to replace your desktop completely. Therefore, some features are minimized for allowed hardware frame.

    Another prime example of Software giants at war to declare whose the winner... The quick solution is to make your menu out of graphics (pictures) or use flash menu. Since picture width is fixed browser cannot "magnify" the size. Flash is harder to make (but there are many free quick flash menu makers out there) and they both server the same purpose--client side cannot alter the outcome.

    Are you requesting that your forum login and cpanel login to be centralized? We have no plan to execute that at this time. And perhaps it's safer this way. If you want to centralize this within your computer there are free software you can download to do this within your work station--sometimes this is called Password Vault. This program was available free some time ago in Giveaway of the day forum. If you want to centralize your login to internet accounts from anywhere, you can implement this script and have, i.e. <iframe> to show places to login...where CAS runs transparent in the foreground. But this is just a suggestion. For this, once you reply which action you would like to take, members can help you with coding.

    It seems to me that ScanAlert test security holes per domain you inquire. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ You can submit your own site to be tested, if you have online purchasing program, and simply grant ScanAlerts permission when an email lands in your box. You can then determine if your site would pass ScanAlert's test.

    Gees...and I thought you guys might be discussing about a water vacuum cleaner, or water in a vacuum cleaner I'm thinking about getting one.Anyway, it looks like the debate is almost coming to an end--in a perfect vacuum any presence of a matter equals imperfect vacuum. But since a perfect vacuum is a theory, it means that the opposit should exist as well--a very dense object that exerts massive force outward.So water cannot exist in vacuum if you want to achieve the perfect vacuum state. And probably if water (let's say the molecule) did exist it will be repelled by internal force that it could break itself apart and continue to move away from its origin. And if this vacuum was limitless, it will continue to travel away from the split point. But since this vacuum is limitless and the molecules are still traveling within the vacuum "space", this vacuum place will never be the perfect vacuum--still contains molecules.

    The link was removed before it can be confirmed...But it looks like one of free blog accounts was performing the phishing project. The site Bloguido is not a credit card company.Since the referral information is removed, there's nothing to report to the webmaster.Topic closed for spam.

    Boy, 5mb files in total? Not one single file that is sized 5mb?If you have many files that are this huge, ZIP your files and upload them to your account via FTP or cPanel. Since it's a singular file you can use cPanel to upload.Once this ZIP file is uploaded, use your cPanle to unzip. It's lot easier than uploading them one by one.Just for some comparisons, I can upload 32KBps and I have never timed out--even with files at 100mb or higher. So I'm wondering if your ISP sometimes gives you the burst upload and then cuts off... who knows what ISP's are regulating these days... I just received a notice from my ISP that starting next month they are going to monitor and log certain ports for any illegal activaties--like port 1214.

    When you say "progress bar" are you referring to something similar to Flash that shows loading time that shows before reading 100%?Progress bar can also refer to the loading graphic before all your content is loaded.Is this to what you're referring?

    You were missing $ when calling your variable. Try this: <?php $csslayout = "1"; echo "<div id='forumposts'>";mosLoadModules ("user1");echo "</div>";if ($csslayout == "1") { echo "<div id='content'>"; mosMainBody(); echo "</div>"; }if ($csslayout == "2") { echo "<div id='content2'>"; mosMainBody(); echo "</div>"; }?> You can see that I've switched double quote with single quote when using PHP command that uses double quote. There is another way to use single quote command so that you can use double quote inside the PHP command. But try this first to see if it's working. A neat trick I learned the first is the use of ECHO and PRINT command. By using this, you don't have to switch in and out from HTML and PHP.

    I tried the header line H1, H2, H3 etc trick but it's not working so far.But here is what I did: instead of 1, 2 and 3 I used H4 as my header line tag. Will this trick work with h4? And to text even further, instead of <p>long paragraph</p> I basically did <h4>long paragraph</h4>. Will this work adversely?

    Cable modems are funny--they record the device connected via LAN with initial boot.Linksys has "Client Lease Time" setting under DHCP menu. The factory default is set to 0 (meaning every two days it will reset DHCP information and lease from the cable modem).First, turn everything off including your cable modem. A complete power off. Wait about 5 minutes for your cable modem to lose flash memory. Trun your cable modem one followed by your router. When you see a solid connection light from the cable modem, turn your wire-connected computer. Access the router and change the Client Lease Time to 1440 (this is 1 day). And see if your router successfully functions daily.

    Perhaps this natural tabacco might be a good substitute when someone is trying to quit. But the best solution is never starting it from the beginning. Anything that releases CO and/or CO2 as a result of combustion is carcinogen.Although chemical additives make cigarette addictive to many people, some people are naturally prone to addiction. This is one of the reasons why these chemicals were added--to induce the addictiveness. The biochemistry of certain gene present in the central nervous system, mainly in the brain, craves for these additives when exposed to certain level. So the longer these people exposed to additive chemicals the harder to quit because the body craves it like hunger.

    So both routers you have had were wireless...If that's the case, have you secured your wireless connection--proper SSID, WAP encryption with password etc? Even applying MAC filter setting would have been sufficient. If you have not performed any of those, perhaps someone else gained access to your router via Wi-Fi and resets it in attempt to get their connection going. This is very common in dense Wi-Fi traffic area.Give us more detail how you let your wireless connection remained.My next theory would be your TTL setting...but let's go with my first question and then go from there.

    It's too bad the screenshot is no longer available, at least I can no longer see it. When I came across this subject 5 months ago I dismissed it immediately. Modifying a webpage only to my view wasn't something that is not on the top of my list when I surf the web. Well, a lot has changed in 5 months and I am now constantly using the internet as part of my research and cross referencing bibliography tool. So to find out how can Greasemonkey can benefit my research I began to search and came across this author's little introduction. I have been using this author's Library script to track down books for my research. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ As you can see, he used Greasemonkey with conjunction to the Library script to aid him on Amazon.com. This is something I do just about daily when I search for books. I wish I had known even few months earlier--it would have saved me ton of hours at the library To read more about his take on Greasemonkey, the Firefox extension, check out http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Visit Greasemonkey's development site: http://www.greasespot.net/

    I would also like to present http://www.oswd.org/ for free templates. This does not use FrontPage or any other editing software. But these templates do not include any unnecessary codes and most of them are very clean and fast loading. Sometimes I learn faster by observing examples. This, I found, to be much more effective although some people think that it's an unbalanced study of coding/programming. If you do find a template that you feel it will meet your needs, you can simply insert HTML codes/tags to place your own banners, graphics and/or images. And you can observe how the web page renders with web codings. HTML may be the basic foundation of all good web page but using just HTML these days isn't enough. CSS is the leading structure format to all good web pages and you should prepare for CSS designing with HTML codes. OSWD.org offers good examples of CSS+HTML designs. I soon found that Notepad is my best editor for all my web design.

    If you want to use external file to store your variables that is in PHP format, like your example, I found the following methods to be the best use. 1) Store them as PHP format when using INCLUDE when you save an external file, insert <?PHP and end with ?> such that <?PHP $var1 = "string1";$var2 = "string2";?>This will simplify your include "filename"; within your PHP script. As far as I can tell, if you insert PHP header you only have to say INCLUDE command. If you do not insert PHP header, then you have to open the file, read line by line and address them as per variable. Either way it will work. I just found that when saving external file with PHP variables, it's easier to recall when I save it as above sample. 2) If you're not going to save external file with PHP header use REQUIRE require is used when you have external files that contains functions, let's say, and you want to seperate many functions from all other script codes. Just for fun, if you save HTML codes as text file format and use INCLUDE command, it will behave just like the regular HTML command. I have been using this method for GFXTrap affiliation insert.

    Whew~At least I know that ad companies are not injecting inappropriate materials to Xisto any more...Yeah, whatever reason might have been, it looks like it's been resolved. I'll leave this post open a little bit longer for other people's results.

    No error on my part when I viewed Acid Test 2 with my IE7. I did the double take as well but the iframe appears due to IE7 unable to digest the code properly. I'm not sure if this is alright to release... but I couldn't wait until this became public. I talked to one guy at CES just now and he gave me the link to download FireFox V3.0 Alpha 2 Pre Go nuts

    I'm sure it's a good program. But by posting your referral you broke your service agreement Please do not abuse this forum and your menbership with Surf Junky, again.
