    Links not clickable in IE?

    Don't punish IE6 users for MS's mistakes. Maybe they have an old computer that won't run WinXP. There are still quite a few Win98 and Win2k users out there. The most recent version has been updated to support IE6. I had to use JS for the caption rollover and to fix PNG transparency w/o...

    video sharing script help...

    The X10 Terms of Service (ToS) only apply to files that you keep on the X10 servers. The X10 ToS doesn't apply to anything stored on another site, such as YouTube videos. You're not using any bandwidth from the X10 server for the videos, just the page & player. You can even play a copyrighted...

    Passing values

    How is the page currently structured? Are you using a <form>? Are you using the table for layout or to structure tabular data? What functionality have you already implemented? Specifically, what parts are you having problems with? Please post minimal sample code showing your current design and a...

    coded Horizontal News scroller help....

    From the original "Top Ten Mistakes in Web Design", way back in 1996: Personally, I find that marquees usually don't move fast enough. We've got these wonderful rectus and oblique muscles that let us move our eyes, so text can stand still. A news box is a more usable design than a news ticker.

    IE8 Compliance

    See "IE8 Readiness Toolkit", which links to pages that cover specific technologies (e.g. CSS, HTML) in more detail. The IEBlog also has information about IE8, but it will probably take longer to find information you're interested in. W3 wouldn't have anything like that because specific browsers...

    video sharing script help...

    It looks like you're already doing it. The X10 ToS don't apply to any content hosted on external servers, such as YouTube. You can use another site as an image host, file host or video host and you won't use up any of your X10 bandwidth allotment for the external files. You could even link to...

    PHP Obfuscation

    You should have started a new thread for this. Read up on Unix file permissions. By default, files have global read access (google "umask" for more info), which gives any process read access. A user doesn't need shell access to read your globally readable files; zhe can write a script which...

    onclick text select and also a comment script if possable

    No need for eval or switches or even the call to focus(). Also, the <p> element isn't structural and the <body> attributes are deprecated; you should replace all of them with styling. <html><head><title>(Type a title for your page here)</title> <script type="text/javascript"> function...

    video sharing script help...

    Because video hosting is a high bandwidth service, one of the ToS sections you might run afoul of is: Make sure you keep an eye on your bandwidth usage. If you use up your bandwidth allotment in a very short time, your site is likely to be shut down. Also, make sure you don't post material...

    ajax help

    Change the type of the "testnow" button from "submit" to "button". Currently, it submits the (empty) form, reloading the page.

    Links not clickable in IE?

    There was an errant class selector, which has been removed. It would be nice if the page was usable in IE6, even if it didn't have the rollover affect. A conditional comment and a little JS might be in order.

    CPanel File Manager - Hidden Files

    To get the prompt asking whether or not to show hidden files, click on the "reset all interface settings" link at the bottom of the main cPanel page. You could also use an FTP client, such as FileZilla (MS Windows, Linux) or Cyberduck (Mac).

    What's your favorite (free) FTP Client?

    I would hope you use both, considering Macfusion is a frontend for MacFUSE. It quite nicely fills the GUI shaped hole that MacFUSE leaves open (and should leave open).

    Links not clickable in IE?

    Sorry about that. It was a problem I had worried about but didn't seem to be causing problems in testing. Since the children of a.tipped are absolutely positioned, a.tipped doesn't have any content to give it any size. I've since tried giving it size using: <!--[if lte IE 7]> <style...

    mysql table if not exists

    That's probably because the script uses "or die()" for error reporting, which it shouldn't.

    Battle of the Browsers

    Re: Fav. Browser What about Google Chrome, or lynx? Or telnet host 80? Can't I still love Mosaic? Is that so wrong? Did they really have to arrest me?

    What's your favorite (free) FTP Client?

    On the Mac side, Cyberduck is a popular one. There's also ftpfs, which depends on MacFUSE and lets you treat FTP sites as mountable filesystems. MacFUSE is based on the Linux FUSE package. FUSE and MacFUSE provide support for all kinds of interesting filesystems, such as sshfs, GrabFS...
