  1. The first question is easily answered, because GMT is the basis of the server more than likely.
    That is not true. The servers timezone is based on where it is and how the admin set it up. Servers don't default to GMT.
  2. Ouch, ouch, ouch and more ouch.Don't ever use the position element in CSS, it makes all browsers act differently.
    Please stop telling people what to do. Position is a great tool and in some cases is neccesary. I use it allt he time to make IE conform to the way all other browsers do. The most like reason for you forming this opinion is because you admitted earlier that you do not use valid code. If you do not have valid code and no doctype then of course it will behave very oddly.
  3. php is server side while XML/XHTML is processed on the client side so the 2 have nothing to do with each other. The php is processed and turned into HTML to send to the browser. It is more common to use <?php ?> for PHP.Don't worry about that comment it has nothing to do with your question.

  4. i hate when google ads are styled to fit in with the design of the page. when they are mixed in with the content & styled to look like part of a sites internal links.
    That's why webmasters do it, hoping to get you to click on the ads even accidentally.
  5. yes <? ?> is used in php but it is also how you declare xml doctypes <?xml version="1.0"?>You do not have to start an XHTML doc with ?xml version="1.0"?> but it will work and validate correctly. using the <meta> to set the character encoding will also do the samething.

  6. IE5.5 is still used on MACOSX though. Although Safari is now the default browser (OS9 didn't have it installed default though.)
    Yes you can still use IE on a mac but it is no longer supported and there will be no further patchs or updates for it.
  7. All I gotta say is that this is a free forum and to be complaining about any way the owners are using to try and keep it that way is just wrong. This is a pointless conversation and should really end right here! But I'm not gonna play god and close it, but any other moderator who feels the same can go right ahead.
    I don't think the topic starter was complaining about the fact that ads are used on the site but suggesting they could be made to look nicer and fit with the forums theme.I agree that AdSense ads don't look so great but on the other hand the fact that they stick out is kind of a good thing if they are to be noticed.
  8. because you are assigning an integer to v4. The indexOf function returns an integer value representing the location of the search phrase in the searched string.instead of

    v4 = string1.indexOf("@")if (v4 == "@")

    you could do this

    if (isNaN(parseInt(string1)))

  9. back in 2005 Google made a huge change to its content network. Before this change advertisers that used AdWords (the ads that show up in goole search results and on AdSense websites) paided the same amount per click. For example if an advertiser paid $5/click for some high traffic keywords, they paid $5 whether it was clicked from search results ads or AdSense ads. After the change the advertiser could set different prices for reults ads and Adsense ads.This means that AdSense revenue went way down. They no onler paid $5 regardless of where the click came from, most advertisers keep there reults ads at $5 but changed their AdSense ads to $0.10 or $0.05.This spurred alot of "Adsense is over" talk around the Internet and some people made a lot of money for new advertising methods.I tracked a campaign called "The Death of Adsense" which spawned another campaign called "Life After Adsense". The creater of these campaigns claimed to have found a way to easily make $50000/mth by using AdWords and PPC networks. Regardless if his claims were true he managed to get 400 people to sign up for his "inner circle" which cost each of them $1000 in registration fees plus an additional $300/mth for the length of their subscription (you do the math). Needless to say I didn't give this guy any money but whether his methods actually help these people or is just another get rich scam he made a lot of money off the changes Google made using the feelings of didmay AdSense users were feeling.I have no idea how much this site makes from adsense, I can count the number of ads I have click on 1 hand, but hopefully they make enough to pay for the cost of this forum.

  10. you can use element.event for pretty much everything or write a common addEvent function that is cross browser. using addEventListener (w3c) and attachEvent (IE) is considered the best way of doing it but element.event works in all browsers and is perfect for me whenI want to be lazy :)

  11. IE calculates height:100% different from most other browsers so it is hard to get consistancy but the broad definition of what you expect from height:100% is the height of the view screen not the remaining height of the element. So if you are on a 800x600 resolution and use height:100% it will stretch the element by about 450-500 pixels (again, it is not very consistant from browser to browser).I have resorted to usually using javascript to calculate the proper height for me.

  12. onLoad needs an attachEvent added to it.
    onload is the event. Writing onload = function is the same as window.onload = function or document.body.onload = function, etcBTW changeonload = l();to onload = function(){l()}oronload = l;
  13. you mean how there are different blogs under Random Points? Those are all individual installs of wordpress not the same one. If you want something like that all in one package check out CommunityServer.org
