Using an inline frame, and applying scrollbars to it: Or by using a frameset: (the red will be the place to define the dimensions of all frames, which you already know, but I don't know if you have them in a row or in a column)There is practically no difference between a frame without scrollbars that is longer than the page, or a frame that does is equal long to the window but with scrollbars. You always have to scroll! It would be fun if the page continues below your monitor, hea :)But applying the scrolling attribute is a better choice than making the frame longer than the page (I don't knoiw if that is even possible). If a frame is longer than the page, and you scroll to the bottom of the frame element, all other frames scroll to the top of the window too, and the main idea of frames was that all others stay on its place, lol

There might be some attributes for that (no elements but attributes), but forget them.You should learn styles, using those attributes has no advantage over styles at all.If you still want to use deprecated ways of styling, everything that is deprecated can be found here:http://dhost.info/profmemberone/Pages/deprecated.htm

I am experiencing some little troubles with my contextmenu concerning browser compatibility.When my friend (vti) opens my page, the custom menu doesn't replace the default menu, they come up simultaniously. Thus, I conclude that something with his browser (same version of same browser I use ) blockes something typically from the script.Can anyone help me why the script is probably not cross-browser, and what would you suggest to make it cross-browser (or whatever that solves this issue) ?

I do too, though I am planning to support a user setting at my site. So they can set themselves the resolution of the site to higher and more would be displayed But that is difficult, due to my difficult CSS. And I am no expert in CSS either so this could become a problem. Untill I know the sollution, I keep my site within the width of a lower resolution (800x600)

The "this" passes the calling element, the "form" object of "this" refers to the form element this field is in, and .elements[] is an array of elements of that very form, of name attributes. I hope this helps you.

I use 1024x768, though I want bigger. Unfortunately, I have a very old monitor that doesn't quite well enough display any higher resolution *darn*

I know, I had my problems resizing mine too, but if you're really stuck, ask aspnetguy to do it for you

Do you mean something like this?http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/combodescribe.htm

Darn. I hoped I was right about what caused this little pixel malfunction, but I am no expert in CSS either, sorry At this point I don't know what to do either.. lost me there :)Ask me how to program this, how to script that, and I'll answer, but those CSS bugs in any stylesheet are a big question for me too

The rules are VERY noticable as announcements at the top of EVERY forum :)You must upload PHP files, they can't be opened by any browser. The server with its PHP software installation must process the code in your files, so it would return only output to your browser.

All we need is knowledge about PHP. Is is quite difficult code for beginners, but that is why I want tis topic moved into the PHP forum of this board.I can help you with the whole code I posted above, but you should firstly consider turning over to PHP, and take some lessons, tutorials of your own. You would uinderstand this processor much better :)For the record, you only need to create a new file with Notepad with the full code I posted, and name it to whatever you like with extension .php No form needed, the one that is inside will do just fine, though you may edit it ofcource, but be carefull to let the code intact Therefor I suggest you take the PHp tutorial. (and to the mods: please move this topic )[*Edit:] Please read the rules before you fill your signature, and I suggest LaLaLa do so too

You only need to upload this, ONLY when you are sure your host supports PHP files. Then only edit the email at the top of this file, and don't do anything else. It will work onitself, there is no need of any form, this file has one itself.

This form, to let visitors send messages to the owner of the site, uses mailto: at its action. That means, the mail setup program (the one with which you actually send the message) like Outlook Express, will get called.Replacing that mailto: by a PHP processor file like this: send_mail.php means the processor will send the mail instead of Outlook. And besides that, it WILL work in all browsers, as the mailto command doesn't. With php, you can specify the to address, the from, reply to, cc and bcc, subject and message. With the mailto command, you can't. You can try, but only Hotmail (as far as I know) recognises those. Like you specified the subject in the form you posted Gmail doesn't use that addition to the mailto command. But PHP can do it all by itself, I can give you a processor file that has the form in itself, here it is, for example

Sorry Have a real life too you know :)I don't know what you mean with "it is not working", could you specify what goes wrong?

I can, but you would need to know PHP to write a mailsend processor. At least a PHP installation at your host, because I can give a mailsend processor too, I have one.

Yes, as I explained. If you use server languages like PHP, you can let the server send the mail for you. Then there is no need of the mailto protocol, nor a program like outlook express :)But was this subject addition all you needed, LaLaLa?

That doesn help anything, Holmedwa04. I think LaLaLa wants to bypass the mail program at submit. That is indeed possible, but not by client-side. You would need a server-side language like PHP to execute the very command to mail anything. <?phpmail ($to,$subject,$message,$headers);?> This uses the mail service at the server, eg an SMTP (I think). It is able to actually send the mail, opening a program to do that on the client side would not be necessary.But then again, you will need to use eg PHP to process the data of the form. That processor (that can be the same file this form is in) wouild be defined at the action attribute of the <form> element. Do you understand this? When you do want to bypass the program like Outlook Express or Hotmail or Gmail if you use either of those, you need server-side scripts to deal with the actual sending of the mail. This topic should then be moved to PHP forum [*Edit:]@holmedwa04: but you can format text in a code box. Well, not really, but you should use a QUOTE box for that. Besides, your code it actually besides the point, it does only use the mailto protocol, and the question was how to modify it (not possible but use alternate, a processor)

You're welcome, ask again any time

They switch into one another when alternate protocol is entered :blink:Both explorers are not the same, you can see very well that they have their own executables in the windows installation folder But when you enter a file folder in IE, it turns into win explorer, and when you enter an url in win explorer, it turns into IE. Well, not turn into, but replace itself by It is just that they both use protocols to open files, different protocols. Microsoft probably has forseen this and made them able to turn into one another. :blink:But it surely is strange to see an url opened in win explorer, lol!One difference I just noticed, if windows explorer turns into IE to show the url, it doesnt add the application name in the titlebar - because it is still a window of win explorer :)Or whatever I found it rather fun all of this Now you know where I use IE for too. Still on topic eeh

Hey, would this forum:http://www.seekond.com/project/be the permanent address to talk about the project? The ones that take part are not forced to come there, but if guests are allowed to post there, they even don't have to register. So they (I) can post without being attached to the forum

Chocolate is absent, he can't yet edit the first post to view all members of the project Though of cource other mods can do that for him. And even yet we have to discuss other issues about the application itself, ie what it will become and how it will become that. But it is not the 5th of septermber yet And after then we still have to decide detailed issues about all this, some rules and aggreements, so on.But yeah, we have, almost.

Could you both PM Choco for that? so he doesn't need to search this whole topic for all changes Though he isn't here at this moment.

Yes there is a way. :)Should this div be the only one on the page, or will there be more, and would they all have the same background? In case this is only one per page, then it can be similar to the folowing, for example. Note: the blue are the changes I made, the red is up to you to edit (the source of the second image) :)But this is a full javascript way of doing it, as you requested. There is also a CSS way (with less script) and I'll give it to you if you like, though it hasn't any major advantage over this one. Only the fact that the images are defined in the stylesheet, which can be better when you use those.

Well,I try to explain in the secon example that variables are parsed inside a php string, when the string is double quoted (single quoted doesn't). This way you won't have to echo variables between strings, but just easily inside them. Less characters of code, and much more readable.This is a string how you would do it in javascript: Where PHP is able to do just this:

Lol. No only a backslash, it is always a backslash that says "the folowing sign is a literal character", and much other things in other situations too. The slash is only used to close html elements :)Glad to help
