I hope you are also confirming your password on the server side, if javascript is disabled you'll have to accommodate for that.

Nice.Good Luck!

I have a feeling your cover letter is too long and is too detailed. Most of what you cover seems to be more poised for an interview than anything else. FRom my understanding, the cover letter is more of a formality. It should explain why you are interested in the job, why you think you are qualified for the position, and why you are the right person for the job. This can typically done in one or two paragraphs.You are trying to sell an interview - so ask for it. Show that you are excited about the possibility to work for the organization, related your letter to the fact that you like learning and its a learning institution, etc. Tell them why they should interview you - you've got time to get all the other stuff out of the way at the interview. Plus, you probably sound more exciting talking about the work you've done then reading about it. When you talk about it you can show emotion and enthusiasm - reading, I just don't get it.Try this:http://www.google.com/search?q=cover+letter+secrets

I do not mean to pick on the solution provided in a way to make it seem imperfect. I only offered my addition perspective to help this person, and others, realize some good habits to get into.Although it may not be too much to ask for you and maybe not 99% of the people using it, it is still a good practice give the user a consistent experience. The main point is that there have been several studies that basically tell us that the more time users spend on making decisions, the less time they focus on the content. So, if someone has to read an instruction that would otherwise be understood if the interface was consistent with the rest of the world, then you are likely to have a less effective web site/page.Thats only my point.

even better, I'll have to see how that works out.

You should really have the cursor change from the pointer to the hand to make it clear the images are to be clicked. People prefer to act inuitively and not have to read and instruction. In this case, one might rollover the image and not see the cursor change and then have to read.

nice to see ya back - hope all is well.

yeah, it is annoying.One easy, less conventional way is to do this:<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><form><tr><td>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</td></tr></form></table>Not necessarily just for the form, but if the form is already in a table, than that is the easiest thing to do.(some css diehard will object to using tables, but this works - old school as it is)

The solution I outlined doesn't click to another page. The top of the page has the photo and the bottom of the page has a <div> for each person in the photo. The CSS hides the <div> so that you never seem them. But using the Show/Hide script I referenced, you are able to make the specific <div> tag visible. Then, properly absolutely positioned, the persons name would appear by the name.

well aspnetguy, you should be setting a better example and share your source of information. otherwise, people are going to think you are rather intelligent. shame on you.

there are a couple ways I can see you doing this.but first, I'd head over tot he javascript section and look at the Snippets sticky I put together. In there you will find a Show/Hide script. Do not worry about putting the name of the person on the image, just yet. Your first step is to implement that into the site map you made - I've done it, its possible. So that when you mouse over the face, their name appears in a <div> below the photo.Once you have accomplished that, then you can use CSS absolute positioning to move that <div> to the desired location - all trial an error since the imagemap coordinates are pixels specific to the image where the location of the name will be relative to the entire window.Anyway, you then repeat this process for everyone in the picture. so if the photo has 30 people, you will have 30 <div> tags each with their own ID and their own absolute positioning style definitions.Let me know if that makes sense.

re:http://whois.domaintools.com/csszengarden.comCheck the note out at the bottom.

Thats an interesting alternative and although you might need to be as complex as CAPTCHA. Just having several one file and randomly selecting one might work . . . I'd have to throw that one around a little.

@justsomeguy - yep, you're right and I'd go as far to say that there probably isn't a single website that is S503 compliant. But implementing CAPTCHA will (wihtout question) put an immediate stop to an impaired person's ability to use the related functionality. There is a lot of assisstive technology that can get around most of the way we (yes including myself) abuse or take advantage of the inability to police coding standards. I simply mentioned it to make sure people are aware of the disadvantages of techniques introduced since the advantages are typically the only things communicated.@TaustinPowers - what justsomeguy has not really detailed since it is understandably sort of obvious to many, is that since you have a form that posts to a page where code has been written to process the form, all you need to do is interject some additional code during that process. So, for instance, you might take all the information submitted in the form and just before you populate an email with it, you might insert that same information into a database or append it to a txt file you have on your site. If you research how to create and insert information into a database or research how to create and append a file with which ever server side scripting language (asp,php,coldfusion) you are using, then his statement is on point, you cna do what ever you want to do.

If you use the hidden field trick - which does work btw - make sure you put the form field IN the <form> but below the last usable form field and below the submit button. For anyone who uses tabs to navigate through will end up in there whether you hide it with CSS or an image.Do note that this is not good for the blind. If you really want some good insight, view this presentation in its entirety:https://admin.acrobat.com/_a204547676/p86736245/(about 1hr)But, the best way is to use this service:http://akismet.com/Using their web service has proven far more effective that any thing else, including CAPTCHA - which btw is not at all Section 503 compliant.

does your host not provide nightly backups?wouldn't that suffice?

What is involved in streaming media?You will need multimedia server software and then software to encode your multimedia files into streaming formats.what languages do you need to know?If you speak english, I'd suggest buying English versions of the software you need to encode. Assuming you have a video or an audio file, you do not need any specific web programming language to make it streaming - you need the software that will encode it accordingly. Putting the file on a web page and linking to a/your multimedia server is a different subject (simply HTML).There is alot more to cover on this topic, this barely scratches the surface. But a little more research on your part will help you more than me regurgitating everything I know on this subject. Hopefully, this little bit will help you understand the very basic beginning. However, you also mention web cams and that introduces something on its own.So, do you want to stream live audio/video or do you want to stream recorded audio/video?

If neither you nor your client had any issue with receiving or delivering the check then no one got ripped off. What you are doing is something EVERYONE needs to constantly to - self assess. The only way you will continue to grow in this industry is if you perform routine self-assessments. This should NOT be done only after every job you do. It should be done before each job you submit a bid for, after each job you launch, and during the development of a site - especially approaching the launch date.I'm not talking about some 50 question online (or offline) self assessment test. For the most part, I'm just talking about the process by which you keep a constant feel fro your skills and abilities and compare them to what is out there. One, easy, way to do this is to simply keep your resume updated. Think about when I mentioned you should do a self-assessment and then think about whether or not it makes sense to update your resume at those same moments - it does. The more distinct skills and abilities you add to your resume that are specific to web development, then the more you can charge. Soon your skills will be over shadowed by your tacit knowledge, and thats when your rates will double - thats what sets you apart from anyone else. But, you either are motivated that way or you are not. Meaning, you are either interested in the bigger picture, or you are interested more in the nit-n-gritty.So, could you have charged more and got away with it - maybe. But you will only know on the next job you bill for. But remember, only 30% of your time should be spent on new business. Focus on the customers you have and you will find out if they are willing to pay more for new services or approaches to solutions.

Ok, so I've written my first ASP form - arggg I much prefer coldfusion. But anyway, its a very simple from, subject, comments form page (email-form.asp) and the action page (email-action.asp) sends it off as it should. However, when I code these pages in coldfusion, I wrap the entire action around a condition. In the form page, I have a hidden field called frm_toemail that is default with no value. So, on my action page, I want my whole page wrapped in a condition that will only process the page if the frm_toemail is still blank.In ColdFusion it would look like this:<cfif form.frm_toemail IS "">doallmyformprocessing<cfelse>abort pagesend message</cfif>Thanks in advance.

Cool. Again, if you have other questions, please feel free to post them - every person situation is different.

Hi,There have been quite a few discussions on this topic, most recently this one:http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=11255I'd suggest reading through that one and then coming back here with any questions specific to your situation.

Your host might matter, but if you program a script what will throttle your messages, then you shouldn't have a problem. Throttling varies from host to host, but in general separate any block of 500 messages with a 2 minute waiting period. Each email could ideally be separated by 2 to 4 seconds. The safest things to do is send in blocks of 300. And what you might do for print (sort by zip codes to make it easier on the post office) is NOT desired on the web - DO NOT attempt to sort addresses by domain to send them all there at once, you can get you and your provider black listed. Its better to make sure there is a 5 second gap between any same domain deliveries.Software:http://www.aspnetemail.com/overview.aspxhttp://www.xigla.com/absolutenl/order.asphttp://www.mailutilities.com/adr/

Thanks for stepping in aspnetguy - I'm no php guru, and I didn't want to convert him to ColdFusion until he is truly frustrated.:-D
