Hello,Is it possible to set the locale for the Javascript Date utility? We have offices in the far east, but we need to make sure that the date that is sent to our servers, which reside on the east coast of the U.S., is the date here in the U.S., not the date over there.Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Hello,I would like to create a very small and simple PHP app to conduct an anonymous survey. The survey would be about 10 questions max, and there would be 4 or 5 possible answers for each. I would also like to store the results in a table. What would be the best way to set up the table? Should I have a row for each question and then 4 or 5 integer columns that are only updated if the user has selected that specific answer to that question? For instance if the user answers option 2 for question number one, then I would update row one, option_2_column_name. Any thoughts/ideas?Thanks in advance.lugos

Ok, I ran your script and didnt get a Failed to send message, but I do see some things wrong that you dont need.Try to change the:$headers = "From: " . $_POST['emailAddress'] ."\n";To:$headers = "From: $_POST['emailAddress']";The varible will still be called with a $_POST that way to.ALso the echo() the () are not required seens it is not a function like if () so you can write it as:echo "<p>Message sent</p>";But the way you had it it still ran fine for me.

Hello,I am fairly new to PHP development and I'm trying to send e-mails using the following code:<?php$to = "myemailaddress@myisp.com";$subject = $_POST['subject'];$body = $_POST['message'];$headers = "From: " . $_POST['emailAddress'] ."\n";if (mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers)) { echo("<p>Message sent</p>");} else { echo("<p>Failed to send message</p>");}?>For some reason it does not work. I keep getting the failure message. I have verified that all of the values are being passed.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.

hey lugos, long time no see, I take a look at your code :)do this

<table><tr id="fundingAmount"><td style="padding-bottom: 0; width: 150px;"><div style="float: right; font-size: 12px; margin: 0; display: inline;">$</div><strong>Amount:</strong></td><td style="padding-bottom: 0; width: 150px;"><input type="text" name="amount" maxlength="20" /></td></tr></table>

The element that is going to be floated should come first when mixed with non-floated elements.

Hello,Here is the code I am having trouble with:<table><tr id="fundingAmount"> <td style="padding-bottom: 0; width: 150px;"><strong>Amount:</strong><div style="float: right; font-size: 12px; margin: 0; display: inline;">$</div></td> <td style="padding-bottom: 0; width: 150px;"><input type="text" name="amount" maxlength="20" /></td></tr></table>I want the $ sign to be on the right side of the first column, on the same line. However, the code above puts it to the right and on the next line. I hope that's not confusing. If you copy and paste it, you'll see what I mean. I've tried a few things but nothing seems to work.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,lugos

Hello,I'm relatively new to SQL and databases in general. I am not too familar with the terminology. I want to do a personal website where I can post messages and allow people to respond (similar to a blog). For the database structure/design, I was thinking of having one table for my original message, and in that table including an INT column that the database automatically increments every time a new row is created (it will be a unique field). The number generated by the database will then be used as a key/identifier in another table that contains the responses. That key/identifier will be used to link the responses to my original message. I hope that makes sense.So basically my question is if this sounds like it can work? Also, feedback and/or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. If there is a better way I would gladly consider it.Thanks,lugos

Hello,I am going through the book Dreamweaver 8 with ASP, ColdFusion, and PHP Training from the Source, which by the way I think is an excellent book for beginners who want to learn dynamic web development using Dreamweaver. The book includes a tutorial which is almost like a case study, where each chapter builds upon the previous chapters. So I'm stuck at a point in the book where a certain SQL statement is producing an error. However, I'm not sure if it's the SQL code, the PHP code, or possibly even Dreamweaver that's causing the error. So, if it is not a problem, I will post this question in the SQL forum also.Here is the SQL code:

SELECT * FROM tbl_tours INNER JOIN tbl_countryON tbl_country.countryID=tbl_tours.countryORDER BY tbl_country.countryName

Now, the book says that the following SQL code is the same as the above:

SELECT * FROM tbl_tours, tbl_countryWHERE tbl_country.countryID=tbl_tours.countryORDER BY tbl_country.countryName

But neither of them work. The PHP code is as follows:

<?php require_once('Connections/conn_newland.php'); ?><?phpmysql_select_db($database_conn_newland, $conn_newland);$query_rs_tourDetail = "SELECT * FROM tbl_tours INNER JOIN tbl_country ON tbl_country.countryID=tbl_tours.country ORDER BY tbl_country.countryName";$rs_tourDetail = mysql_query($query_rs_tourDetail, $conn_newland) or die(mysql_error());$row_rs_tourDetail = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs_tourDetail);$totalRows_rs_tourDetail = mysql_num_rows($rs_tourDetail);?>

This PHP code is generated by Dreamweaver. I am very new to the PHP programming language.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,lugos

The next question is touching CSS.I was wondering how do I make a sidebar/menu that appears on every page with links on it to other pages?The navigation bar is the proper term I think, and it's on practically every site....so I want it on mine lol.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><style type="text/css">ul{float:left;width:100%;padding:0;margin:0;list-style-type:none;}a{float:left;width:6em;text-decoration:none;color:white;background-color:purple;padding:0 0 0 .6em;border-right:1px solid white;}a:hover {background-color:#ff3300}li {display:list-item;margin-bottom: 2px;}</style></head><body><ul><li><a href="#">Link one</a></li><li><a href="#">Link two</a></li><li><a href="#">Link three</a></li><li><a href="#">Link four</a></li></ul><p>In the example above, we let the ul element and the a element float to the left.The li elements will be displayed as inline elements (no line break before or after the element). This forces the list to be on one line.The ul element has a width of 100% and each hyperlink in the list has a width of 6em (6 times the size of the current font).We add some colors and borders to make it more fancy.</p></body></html>

This was taken directly from the w3schools.com site with minor alterations. I changed it from a horizontal menu to a vertical. Click here for the original code.

Oh ok. Try this link: http://ww2.cs.fsu.edu/~steele/XHTML/appletObject.html

Hi Newbman,I have just tried to validate www.toplanaholiday.com and have got a lot of errors. The errors are mainly the stuff I copied from the Net. The validator complaint about this line:<meta name="description" content="my contents" /> until I changed it to <meta name="description" content="my content"> but most websites have it the incorrect way !!The DOCTYPE is "HTML 4.01 Transitional", should I be using anything else ? I am quite confused about what it all means and how important that isSome lines flagged as error are inserted by the server (SSI include). How should one get rid of this types of errors ?

Ditto Skemcin. Whenever you notice a difference between how IE renders your page and how Firefox renders your page, more likely than not IE is the browser that is cutting you some slack. I personally use Firefox as the standard, although I also make sure my pages look fine in IE since it is the browser that is used by most people.As sbrownii pointed out, it's best to use css. The border around your vertical navigation bar on the left is defined in the style attribute in the div tag, and both IE and Firefox display it fine. You can do the same for your table borders. Try using the style attribute in your table and td tags.

Hello,Nevermind, I decided to just use a table to lay the images out. Thanks anyways.lugos

Hello,I'm having a problem with layout in IE. If you look at the website here, you'll see that at the bottom of the page I have four images going across the bottom of the webpage. In IE, the last image is placed on a newline, but firefox and safari display it as it should be displayed (why does IE have to be so difficult!). Does anyone know why that could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Here is are the styles:

Awesome! Thanks RahXephon!! Just out of curiosity, why doesn't the banner div require a float property?

Hello,I am trying to layout my webpage using divs instead of tables. The way I have it layed out now displays just like I want it to in Firefox, but does not display the same in IE. The only way I can get the boxes to display in their proper positions for IE is to shorten the width of either the pageBody or the newsDev div, or increasing the width of the centered div. But then that creates some space between the pageBody div and the newsDev div, which is not what I want. Am I missing a position or clear property? I've pasted my html and css code. Any help getting it to display in IE correctly would be greatly appreciated.html:

Thanks,lugos

It appears that you have a forward slash inside the closing div tag that should not go there. That could be the problem. The closing parenthesis is also missing. Unless I don't see it because the screen shot didn't pick it up.Also, just as a suggestion, use double quotes to enclose what you want to print out when using document.write(), and use single quotes to assign values to your attributes. For instance:document.write("<div id='fixedtipdiv' style='visibility:hidden;width:" + tipwidth + ";background-color:" + tipbgcolor + "'></div>");Hope this helps.lugos

Well, i am trying to make a form and when u submit it, it saves to a txt file that i can view later. Can someone help me with this?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

if(r=1){document.write("(two)")}

You are assigning 1 to r, not comparing; that will always return true. '==' is the comparison operator. I don't know if that'll make a difference.

If not, looping through the elements will probably be your best bet; as hacknsack suggested.lugos
