that is practically the same thing, only put inside a function.LG

yep that was it.thank you sooo much!LG

yea maybe I should do that. but still I'd like to get the first problem sorted out...

I have IE6, but I also have a wireless cable internet connection, so maybe it just loads fast because of that.LG

Hi, I have a script I wrote to log information about people when they come to my site. it writes these logs to a file. I have tried making a new line with \n and \n\r and when I open the text file with both methods, it just shows a little box instead of a new line. how would I fix this?LGEdit: also, do you think it would be better to use SQL, or just a text file? I have to access the files later so a file might have advantages.

yeah to more you learn the more opportunities you have  I think .net is where all the big bucks is at... i'm heading there now

yes, just do this in the body:

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

I don't think that would be bad practice...LG

um, can you post code? link?this topic might help: http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=3692

yea, do I ever view things in any other browser? :)LG

hey justsomeguy, thanks for putting that script on here! I adapted it to make an image of the output of a counter script:

<?php$text=include("hits.php");$im = @imagecreatetruecolor(10*strlen($text)+10,25);    /*or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");*/$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91);imagestring($im, 5, 5, 5,  $text, $text_color);header ("Content-type: image/png");imagepng($im);imagedestroy($im);?>

Xampp is also a nice install and run package... like easyphp:http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.htmlLG

I tried it and it seems fine for me...LG

did you try overflow:hidden; ?LG

Hey guys!!! Nobody said anything about mine!Check out mine at top of this page!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

ok, thanx.LG

top.frames[0].getElementById(sdivid)change the zero to access diferent frames: 0=first 1=second...LG

hi, I just downloaded XAMPP to see if it worked better than EasyPHP.one problem, which folder is the root folder? I mean easyPHP hs the www folder, but I can't find that on XAMPP. Can anyone help me?thnx, LG

but that is not an option!LG

another advantage of IE.LG

not familiar with that host...couldn't you just change the paths(take off the www.)?LG

Oh man...I never replied to your PM, did I. I feel guilty now. So sorry! Server side is a very important topic if you ever want to get down to serious web building. Classes, functions, databases, all important things to do if you ever want to code something like, lets say, an admin panel. It adds a bit of ease to your site too---you don't have to edit HTML for, lets say, a news system. You just make a new PHP or ASP or whatever page, and put a form, and then just fill out the form and submit.I'm sure someone else will be able to explain this better, but I hope you get the gist of it. :)Choco

The only reason to learn more than one server-side language is to increase your own marketability. If you are only doing things for yourself, then you probably don't need more than one, unless it's something you're just interested in. If you are trying to get contract jobs with clients, then the more you know, the more jobs you are going to be qualified for. If someone has a requirement that you use ASP or JSP instead of PHP, then the only way to get the contract is if you know it. The good jobs are where the client lets you choose those types of things, but some of them have their own server they want it on, and they dictate what software you can use.

well I for one think it is worth it. Q. why not just use a site builder or something? A. a site builder can't tell you what's wrong if your site doesn't look right, or if there is an error.that takes care of the site builder competition...probably the next thing you should do is learn Javascript, sharpen up on your CSS, and upgrade from HTML to XHTML.LG

is there any reason for me to learn multiple server side languages?I pretty much know PHP, and I am learning java.(not javascript) is there any reason for me to do JSP?LG

um, there are a few ways...maybe CSS? background: url(yourpicturesurl.jpg);of course you need a picture too...LG

the htpasswd wouldnt be too hard, I foun a good generator: http://www.tools.dynamicdrive.com/password/LG
