I don't know if this is a good idea, but I might aswell mintion it anyway.How about we have a forum for breakthroughs. You know, for stuff that you've found out and think will help other people. I find myself with things I want to tell other people about quite often; I just don't have an appropriate forum to post it on.Good? Bad?

Well, all you really have to do is make one big image to make it look like it's a gradient fill and use CSS to position the HTML button in the correct place.I hope I didn't misunderstand the question .

for example I am now trying to build a web crawler. I won't find a tutorial telling me step by step hwo to make it. I need to decide what it needs to do then break it into pieces.Then I can find basic examples of how to complete those pieces.

Thanks for the info...Uhhh... what's a web crawler?

@joecoolaug: side note, the post count is standard at the board :)Just a wild guess, are you from Holland too? I've seen some dutch words somewhere, and the same typos I make (like "of" instead of "or")

Yes, yes I am . I make typos all the time...Oh, I didn't know it was standard. But they aren't required to use it, are they?

I would undoubtedly have a low reputation -- for posting pointless posts. I like the idea; though, for people who are actually helpful.I guess it would help the mods by helping them know who to keep an eye on... maybe not, I don't know.

I like that idea but i hope people dont get to competitive trying to help out.

Well, we've already got the post count system or whatever it's called that encourages spamming. I don't think a reputation system would increase competitivity (I think I just made up a word) between people, and therefore spamming. I might be wrong, though.

I aggree Skemcin, it is nice as it is right now.But besides we have this nice concentration of our interests etcetera, it would also be nice if there was a possiblility for going offtopic Maybe some restrictions for howmany posts you have or whatever would cause newcomers not ging into that area. But that would only add comfort next to the sometimes complicated issues over here. It would not be necessary.

I agree, too. For now, just post up on here: http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=828

Try Gettyimages.com. I use it a lot.

I don't really need it, I just think it would be kind of helpful.

The link for dreamweaver8 doesn't work! It comes up "Error: Page not found!"

Wow. I'm going to use Notepad2 for all my programming from now on. They even have Java and Pascal Source Code schemes!As far as I can see, the only downside is that they don't have Linux Line Endings, --because I have a Linux-- but that's okay, because I don't even know what line endings are . Unix is close enough, right?

What would you want them sorted by? Isn't it the most logical to have it sorted chronologically? If you're looking for something specific, you can search for it.

You could have them sorted by replies to see who has and hasn't been helped . You could sort them by views for... no apparant reason.

I just thought of something that would be cool on the W3schools form (here, duh). It would be very helpful if you could sort the topic categories. You know, instead of all of them being sorted automatically from the most recent post to the least recent.

z-index and visibility are not the same thing, they are not even close. z-index sets the "layer" order for absolutely positon elements and visibility hides or shows elements.

Ok then, I must have not understood the question. I thought he could use the visibility attribute to somehow work with the drop-down list.

I've had that problem too. It messed up a couple weeks of programming that I had made when I discovered it.As far as I know, after poking around the web for days trying to find a solution to this problem, I couldn't find anything. I think this is a generally accepted CSS error. The z-index isn't registered or it's overridden or something like that. If it could help, try using the "visibility" property(or maybe it's called attribute). You can set it to "hidden" or "visible"as such.

<img src="something.png" style="visibility:hidden;" />

You can also set it to "collapse" to collapse, in a sense, a table row or column without affecting the table, row, or column dimmensions. To read more about these three options, go here: http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_class_visibility.asp

I don't know what you all are talking about Windows and stuff for (don't feel like reading all 15 pages).My favorite browser is Mozilla Firefox. The adblock feature is my favorite thing about it. I also use IE often. It's not too much different from Firefox in appearance, but, once again, that lovely adblock feature is lacking in it. I've also used Netscape. I think it's the worst browser I've ever seen, even worse than the AOL browser. It looks horrible, is set up in a way that I can't figure out, and is very hard to customize.I've never tried the Opera browser... I think I should.Another thing... I don't get why Mozilla makes more than one browser. As far as I've heard, they have like 4 different ones. Is there a reason for that?

Uhhh... it says the site isn't on their database... could you double-check that URL?

I'd like to try out Dreamweaver8... but it's a little expensive for my needs . I stick with the good ol' Notepad. Pure. Text.

<!---------------><!--Sidebar---><!---------------><a href ="home.htm" target ="showframe"><img src=img/home.png></a><br><a href ="e-mail_login.htm" target ="showframe"><img src=img/e-mail.png></a><br><a href ="frame_c.htm" target ="showframe">Frame c</a>

This will work, but it won't open in one of the specific frames, it will open in the entire window.

<!---------------><!---Sidebar---><!---------------><a href ="home.htm" target ="main"><img src=img/home.png></a><br><a href ="e-mail_login.htm" target ="main"><img src=img/e-mail.png></a><br><a href ="frame_c.htm" target ="main">Frame c</a>

Wait a minute... I just read something on the W3schools site.http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_frames.asp

<html><!------------------------------------------><!--Settings--><!------------------------------------------><title>*****</title><!------------------------------------------><!--Body--><!------------------------------------------><frameset rows="21%,79%"><frame noresize="noresize" src="top.htm"><frameset cols="14%,86%"><frame noresize="noresize" src="sidebar.htm" id="frame1" name="frame1"><frame noresize="noresize" src="home.htm" name="frame2" id="frame2"></frameset><noframes><body>Your browser does not handle frames.<br>It is required for your browser to handle<br>frames to be able to view correctly this website.</body></noframes></frameset></html>

<!---------------><!---Sidebar---><!---------------><a href ="home.htm" target ="frame1"><img src=img/home.png></a><br><a href ="e-mail_login.htm" target ="frame2"><img src=img/e-mail.png></a><br><a href ="frame_c.htm" target ="frame1">Frame c</a>

I'm 99% sure this will work. It will link the first image and the link with the text "Frame C" to the frame with the id="frame1" and the other image, obviously, will link to the frame with the id="frame2."

Yep. All you have to do is add the form. I noticed that your login fields are separated by table columns. This might present a problem, but it might not.

Some mimetypes can be found here, and a little explanation with it:http://www.w3schools.com/media/media_mimeref.asp

Thanks. I never guessed to look in Multimedia.

Keep in mind that there is always more than one way to skin a cat. So a good tutorial will give you the tools and information you need to do the job, but it will leave the creative coding up to the individual. Simple tutorials show the bare bones requirements which should lead you into a creative exploration of the possibilities the language provides.

Hmmm... Never thought about it that way.

I need to change the background image of my site with a function or something.I want an image changed, not the color, so can someone please help? If JS can't do it, can you please tell me the CSS or VBScript or whatever code that will? The JS code is below... please change it so it will work . Soooo... tired....

<html><head><script type="text/javascript">function change(){document.background="img.gif"}\\I'm way too tired to take the time to test this, so can someone tell me if this works or not?</script></head><body background="IMaGe.png" onLoad="change()"></body></html>

hi, i have a login javascript coding which now is using mouse to hit the enter button to accept username and password, can you guy help me that after user type in password, he or she just need to hit the keyboard enter key instead of using mouse to click the enter button.Thank...

It would help if you could either give me the code or the URL

It would also be helpful if you gave me the URL to the site.

I have been browsing the javascript forum a lot... I am totally confused. I've seen so much code and so many terms that I'm unfamiliar with that my head is beginning to spin... I mean literally... my head is spinning (you can imagine that if you want to). I'm entirely sure that they aren't in the JS forums because I've read them at least 7 times. I'd like it if W3schools could explain things better and get into more complex code in the tutorial... but anyway. Could somebody please explain these three following things to me. They're the most common things I'm unfamiliar with.A JS cookie: Yes, I know it's in the tutorial; but they explain so little --in fact, pretty much nothing-- about the setCookie(), getCookie(), and checkCookie() functions and whatever other code there is.AJAX: I've heard this so much on the JS forums. I have no clue what it is, but I suspect it to be a scripting language similar to javascript. I don't feel like looking it up on Google or anything, so could someone explain it to me? (Yes, I know, I am lazy; but I'm also tired.)A mime: I'm not sure if this has to do with javascript, AJAX, VBScript, or astrophysical engineering. Yep, I'm totally in the dark. I don't suppose it has anything to do with those clowns that have made a vow of silence. (If you're a mime, I mean no offense to you by calling you a clown: sorry)
