  1. The W3schools is my favorite CSS learning resource, however it is extremely simple, so I can teach you the basics. First of all I recommend that you link to a stylesheet on your website, this saves you lots of time, to link to a stylesheet use this code:

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheetname.css" />
    Now to work on that stylesheet, CSS has an extremely simple syntax:
    selector {property: value}
    The selector is the name of that part of the stylesheet for instance, body. The property is what attribute you want to change, and the value is how you change it, for example:
    body {color: #CCCCCC}
    What I just did was make the body font color grey. Link the stylesheet to the HTML document, as shown above, and the font color will be grey, unless otherwise specified.

    You can view a full tutorial on CSS at my website's HTML tutorial section http://www.webmasterforum.buildtolearn.net/index/htmltutorials.html also.

  2. I got a book out of the library, looked at it for about 20 minutes, memorized a few tags, got bored, and made a website in HTML, although I admit it was a disgrace, I liked the marqee tag a bit too much...The only way to learn is trial and error, I keep making better and better websites as I go on, also a tip for future webmasters, use Cascading Style Sheets (known as CSS), they ROCK. They are very easy to make, and save you hours of time. PS- I also used the http://www.w3schools.com/ whenever in doubt.


  3. Your post made me sick. Longhorn has been developing for a number of years, costing Microsoft billions. Why would Microsoft possibly want to ruin it all? Just about every OS before Longhorn had the same articles before it was released, except for maybe Windows 1.0 -3.0 (no one cared about computers). Microsoft is the most successful company the world has ever seen. Also we must remember that Bill Gates is a fully qualified nerd, he has a really bad sense of humor. Since obviously you release that no man in is right mind would publicly announce that their OS would have terrible security.

     

    As for the personal info, welcome to the world, tons of major software companies keep your information, most of the time for your own convienece. Also no computer is *generally* made just for you, the information you give it is just that, the stuff you "said" the information was. If you are so Microsoft-paranoid, you could just use that method.


  4. m sure that u guys know about it already.

    But to those who doesn;t

     

    FF 1.0.4 is out..

    it's more to a security fix.. A recommended upgrade.

    We found that out awhile ago, it was essentially a wasted download, I really didn't notice any changes, and the security seems the same to me. Oh well, maybe there was a new virus specially designed to hack Firefox and this upgrade saved my life...

  5. I think the IE 7 will be included with windows longhorn, if so then im just getting lh, lol, but i like the tabbed browsing, i hope they use the same hotkeys tho, themes would be nice but not totally needed for me, i have windowblinds for that, more security would be a great help, and a better download manager in it aswell, I use ie sometimes for things like .net stuff (hotmail, msn spaces, etc) because they work best with it, and well im really glad to hear that they are finally fixing the png format for it aswell. that would be like a dream come true, lol

    It won't be with Windows Longhorn, it will be with XP SP2. Microsoft WILL be focusing on security more than anything else. However the graphics will look somewhat like Firefox/Netscape (from what I have seen). It will come in tab browsing :rolleyes: and a prototype should be released this summer (I think). Chances are it is going to be better than the current version of Firefox, and probably the newest version at the time. Yet the popularity IE6 has lost will hurt, as someone said earlier, IE still has a very bad image. I will most likely switch to IE7, if it fails me agian, I'll go back to Firefox.

  6. The correct term is "What are your favorite books" :( My favorite would have to be the Harry Potter series. It is hard to explain thousands of pages in a few sentances but I will do my best.Harry Potter starts out as a 10 year old boy living with the Durselys, terrible people, on his eleventh birthday he is "rescued" by Hagrid and learns that he is a wizard, and that he survived an attack by lord Voldemort, the most powerful sorcerer for 100 years. At the end of his year at school, Harry comes face to face with Voldemort. Harry esacapes agian. In his second year he faces a memory of Voldemort, however this memory is more powerful than he thinks, it can summon a basicisk, a giant serpant. Harry defeats the Basilisk and escapes agian.In his third year Harry learns that his Godfather, Serius Black, was a crimminal who betrayed his parents, however it is the other way around, Black tried to stop the betrayer, but was framed for doing it.In the fourth Book Voldemort comes back to life in full form (long story short) however no one belives Harry, with the exception of friends and teachers.In the fifth book Serius is murdered :rolleyes: but not in vain, everyone realizes Voldemort is back.The sixth book comes out July 16 :lol:


  7. I would buy a very good computer, with the best hardware, all the software, then I would buy all programming references and learning tools in the world, with that knowledge I'll make my own software, and boot out Microsoft... :rolleyes: If I had money leftover I would put it in a bank.Oh I forgot to mention, I would buy my own server too.


  8. Thank you for your suggestion, htmlmaster.

     

    As you know under the green hosting credits counter, the same dialogue box, you will find the link "Know more..." Once you click that link you will be led to OpaQue's post regarding the full explanation of hosting credits. Towards the bottom, FAQ section, the third question explains that you should contact the administer (OpaQue) to purchase hosting credits, should the member wishes to do so.

     

    Great suggestion and it is already implemented. :rolleyes:

    Oops, sorry I didn't notice that. Maybe make it more... visible so something like this doesn't happen agian?

  9. I suggest that you make it possible for people to buy credits. The credits should be cheaper than actual paid hosting. I think this is a good idea becuase users can post their way to getting 10 credits, but to keep their hosting they can buy, say, 100 credits. Then 100 days later they can buy another 100. I think this will really lead to the success of this forum.Hope I helped.


  10. II would go with five, better safe than sorry. It really depends on the type of website you run. If you run an extremely dynamic website with submission forms, user log-ins, and other stuff that requires a MySQL database, then shoot for unlimited. Otherwise if your website is more static go for about 5, just in case you decide you want to use them.


  11. Thank you!!! I'm not alone in the world of school technology stupidity. I agree, the most advanced thing that we have done in computer class this year was probably powerpoint. No one in my class has a clue what Photoshop is and wouldn't dare try to use it. I would be the only one who owns a website or even knows a web programming language. Some people need help logging out of a networked computer, and some just can't. (I have turned the computer *when it was in standby mode* and about 3-4 times this year the same person was still logged in, tend to doubt that person ever longs out.)


  12. All that malware is going to be really hard to take out. First get the software, ad-aware is great, but there are better programs out there. Let's start simple, Microsoft Anti-Spyware, completly free, can be found:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/default.aspx

     

    Then you can get AVG anti-virus free

    http://www.avg.com/de-de/download-update

     

    Use the two programs (both at once if you plan on getting this done today). After you found all that spyware I suggest you delete a few at a time. I suggest no more than 10 at a time. (if you overload the program it will freeze).

     

    After that get a firewall, firewalls are good at keeping hackers and malware away from your PC, I suggest zonealarm at

    http://www.zonealarm.com/

     

    If you want to use ad-aware after that then that's fine too.


  13. No, its not possible, however you are right, it does work in JavaScript, if you require the script then:

    var jswidth = screen.width;if (jswidth==800) document.write("<div class='main' style='width:63%;'>");else if (jswidth==1024) document.write("<div class='main' style='width:72%;'>");else if (jswidth==1152) document.write("<div class='main' style='width:75%;'>");else if (jswidth==1280) document.write("<div class='main' style='width:77%;'>");else document.write("<div class='main' style='width:63%;'>");
    Name that file homepage.js for your convienience. Link to this file by using
    <script type="text/javascript"src="/index/homepage.js"></script>
    right before your main content in the homepage. Then make this file:
    document.write("</div>");
    Name it divclose.js. Place the following code after your content:
    <script type="text/javascript"src="/index/divclose.js"></script>
    This is untested, but I am almost positive it would work.
