That page has to be accessed from a server.Did you access it on a server? or just open it?Maybe you should look at the name of the tutorial....

so... when a user clicks on your links, the relevant document is opened in the iframe, but there is one link that you would like to load in the current window, instead of just the iframe?are the other links opening into the iframe because you are setting their individual target attributes to the name of the iframe? if so, just don't set the target attribute for the link you want to open in the current window.if you are using the base tag you will need to specify the target on the link that you want to have open in the current window.you should be able to specify "_self" as the targetif you want the link to open in a new window... just go aheadand...read more about the <a> element(pay attention to the target attribute)

you need to put quotes around your attribute valuesyou specified the id attribute for the image tag, but didn't put the value in quotes.. change it to this

 id="home2"

what characters did you have to replace with numeric entities?

the following lets you know that the query is not what you expected

[, order = 02] [WHERE id = 2] LIMIT 1

maybe I am just old school... but it is good to echo your variable values when something like this goes wrong. just echo $query, and you will see what it is, and realize that it isn't the value you expect, right?try this instead:

$query = "UPDATE inventory SET type = '$type' , order = $orderWHERE id = '$id' LIMIT 1";

I don't know what types your values are, but if they are varchar or other character data, the end result needs to be surrounded by single quotes so put single quotes around each variable in the query that needs it, take them off of the values that don't need them ( I wasn't sure what type "order" would be, so I left off the quotes )as far as still getting errors the other way you tried.. echo the value of $query to see what is going on. make adjustments until it looks like it should.I don't think you would get the same error if you leave out the brackets, because the error shows you a piece of the query near where the error was found.... if you don't have brackets... that part would definitely be different.as far as the brackets go... they are used to show the syntax of a statement and indicate optional values, you don't actually use them in your queriesThe following is the syntax for the UPDATE statement. the square brackets let us know that LOW_PRIORITY, IGNORE, WHERE, ORDER BY, LIMIT are optional. It also lets us know that we of the option to update 1 or many columns.

UPDATE [LOW_PRIORITY] [IGNORE] tbl_name    SET col_name1=expr1 [, col_name2=expr2 ...]    [WHERE where_condition]    [ORDER BY ...]    [LIMIT row_count]

did I mention you should echo the value of $query so you can get a better idea what is going on?does sql not like you using the column name "order" since "order" is actually part of sql????? and a reserved word??from MySQL Documentation:

A common problem stems from trying to use an identifier such as a table or column name that is a reserved word such as SELECT or the name of a built-in MySQL data type or function such as TIMESTAMP or GROUP.

If an identifier is a reserved word, you must quote it as described in Section 9.2, “Database, Table, Index, Column, and Alias Names”.

A reserved word can be used as an identifier if you quote it.

sql is a language used to query databases. that is probably why the tutorial doesn't talk about a compiler or how to run it on your computeryou will need to install some database. Try MySQL. or if you want to go light... give a look at SQLiteIf you need to learn more sql, just search the web for sql tutorials/references.

$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REQUEST_METHOD']

After getting your code to work on the xml like you want, you may want to have the output change depending on the request type. ex: if method is POST, return SOAP message. if method is GET show html that says the page doesn't support that method (unless you want to support get....), or check if the variable for get is "wsdl" and show your wsdl file...Just figured it is worth mentioning....

Maybe the post above is unclear....if you have a file named "soap.xml" that you want to parse..."soap.xml" is the location of the file you want to look at...in the same way, "php://input" is the location of the "raw POST data". Note that it is the location of the data. You don't need to worry about skipping the HTTP Header info, because it isn't there - only the data is.anyway... I don't know how you plan to work with the soap message, but the point is, its location will be "php://input"read more here (not much more though... actually... maybe it's less....)I would recommend you hard code the soap message to an xml file on the server for development. if you want just store the file name in a variable

$file_name = "soap.xml"

This will make testing/debugging much, much easier! You can print debug info to the browser and see where things are going wrong...Once your code works like you want, go ahead and change the value of $file_name to "php://input", remove echo statements that were used for debug and your done. You can then start calling your php script from your soap client, instead of just the browser

echo file_get_contents("php://input");

the above code will print the soap message...

maybe I don't understand the question... but...the language attribute is not supported for the script element in XHTML STRICTthere is no such thing as fptype... atleast I never heard of itsomething that could work

<script type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="script.js"/>

there are too many other errors... sojust run your page through the validator at http://validator.w3.org and read the errors. You have used many attributes that are not allowed (don't exist) in XHTML 1.0 Strict. You failed to include some attributes that are required. You failed to close some tags, such as <img/>

question #2 can be answered with scriptinga somewhat similar question can be found herewhat does "sit among the text" mean?is there a site you have seen that does that, so I can see an example?

ReaditTryit

what does "moving the position of the link" mean?

warnings are usually about how you SHOULD do things...errors are about... well... errors...The validators are not perfect, either.Search the net to read about why you SHOULD define the background color and font color together.you can started by looking here

you might try finding a 2 column layout that uses "float" instead of absolute positioning

of course it doesn't work if both are on the same page. You have 2 functions with the same name. If you have 2 functions with the same name, only one of them will ever work! how would the javascript engine have a clue which one to call if it let you have 2 functions with the same exact name!sure... the smurfs got along fine calling everything "smurf".... but it doesn't work so well in javascript....does it work if you combine the contents of your 2 validate_form() functions into 1 validate_form() function?something like this:

function validate_form(thisform){    with (thisform)    {        if (validate_required(fname,"Name must be filled out!")==false)        {            fname.focus();            return false        }        if (validate_email(email,"Not a valid e-mail address!")==false)        {            email.focus();            return false        }    }}

of course... if you are wanting to get both alerts if both fields are blank... you can't return until after you call both validate_required() and validate_email()

are all the search engines down?You just need to go through a tutorial about using database with php.search for one... or just click hereif the search engines are still not working... just click here

Both functions run when I copy and run your code...

Well.... what would make one better than another?

You are using the XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD. This means that many things are not allowed, that are allowed in the Transitional DTD.Instead of using the align attribute on the table, use style to set the text aligment. Same for border attribute, use style to define borders.You will find the same is true for the <center> tag that people often used - it isn't allowed in XTHML Strict.As far as the language attribute. It isn't part of the standard, and isn't allowed in XHTML Strict - remove it.Your other choice is to change to the Transitional DTD.As far as character encoding... add a meta tag to your <head> that looks something like this

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

I use utf-8, but you can put your encoding of choice instead...

Did you show all the code?You need to close your <frameset> elementsBut your main problem is that on the second frameset you only define 2 columns "180, *"You need to define 3 if you want the 3rd one ("Right") to show up...You can just try this "180, *, *"

do the post variables actually exist?if you echo $mgoal, $massist and $attend right after this:

 $mgoal=$_POST["goal$mno"];$massist=$_POST["assist$mno"];$attend=$_POST["attend$mno"];

what do you get?

I just ran it through the validator at validator.w3.org with no problems... no parse error or unrecognized... just a few warnings about the css...what validator were you using colin?

Are you saying the image doesn't display as the background?Try it in IE and FFWhile in Amaya, press the refresh button. I'm not using the most recent version of Amaya, but I have noticed a few things. Press refresh after you make changes to the source - changes should show automatically, but some may not. Also, Amaya doesn't seem to like images that are a large file size. That might be changed in newer versions though... but try testing with an image file that is small just to see...

Sorry I wasn't more help.Hope you find some layouts you like... be sure to check the sites I listed...

I guess you were saying the use of color as follows

<font color="blue">blue text</font>

is deprecated?The color property used in css is still alive and kickin' ...
