  1. holmed, what you are saying seems wrong to me...jpg and .jpeg are both accepted, also they can be either all caps or all lowercase..Also, .htm and .html are the same exact thing, but when the .htm extension came out they shortened it to the standard for that time, which was 4 characters, the first being a period. They are both accepted as a standard, and unless someone changes the setting for it they will stay that way.
    Im not saying they are different, I am just saying that when coding, you have to use the same one when linking to it. Do you get me? And when inserting a picture, the extention has to be exactly the same, so it has to be the same case and not .htm when the file really is .html, do you see what im saying?Personally I use .html, .jpg and I never use uppercase extensions, to aviod any confusion.
  2. That's not true for streaming media though. Your computer will buffer a streaming movie and start to play it as soon as the buffer fills up, regardless of how much left there is to download. It will continue to download the movie while it plays from the buffer. Obviously, it takes more bandwidth to watch movies like this without having them keep pausing to download more.
    Yeh I soppose so, never thought of that! Lol :)
  3. You may need to check that you are using the right extension, because it has to be exact.Some problems that may occur:Using .jpg when your image is .jpeg or visa versa.or...You may be using any of the following:JPEG with jpegJPG with jpgGIF with gifPNG with pngIt is case sensitive you see, it is also the same with .htm, .html, and many others.Has this worked?Edit: It is also worth noting that htm and html are not intercangable as with jpg and jpeg.

  4. What do you mean by that? What CSS are you having problems with in Firefox?
    I have this stylesheet:
    a:link {color:"blue"; text-decoration:"none"}a:visited {color:"blue"; text-decoration:"none"}a:hover {color:"green"; text-decoration:"underline overline"}a:link.2 {color:"blue"; text-decoration:"none"; font-weight: "bold";}a:visited.2 {color:"blue"; text-decoration:"none"; font-weight: "bold";}a:hover.2 {color:"green"; text-decoration:"underline overline"; font-weight; "bold";}a:link.3 {color:"black"; text-decoration:"none"}a:visited.3 {color:"black"; text-decoration:"none"}a:hover.3 {color:"green"; text-decoration:"underline overline"}a:link.4 {color:"red"; text-decoration:"none"}a:visited.4 {color:"red"; text-decoration:"none"}a:hover.4 {color:"green"; text-decoration:"underline overline"}body {scrollbar-3dlight-color:#000000; scrollbar-arrow-color:#FFFFFF; scrollbar-base-color:#000033; scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#000000; scrollbar-face-color:#000066;scrollbar-track-color:#000099; scrollbar-shadow-color:#000033}

    Now, I know that the bottom code for editing the scroll bar doesn't work in other browsers, which is not really a problem, but does anyone know how to get the rest of it working with firefox?Because now of my pre defined hyperlink styles work?And also to add to that, I doesn't use the font's I use sometimes, I mean I only want Arial?

  5. *pulls out gun and shoots* Wow, IE always the best?!?! Im not going to try argue, with someone being that arrogant I just wont try! IE is possibly the worst major browser.. ever! Try out Firefox and download extensions, then tell me which you like better :).
    I am not being arrogant! I just have always used IE and I do have Firefox, and there have been problems that I have found.
    Freedom of speech :) *silently aggrees with holmedwa04*
    Anyways thanks to Dan! :)
  6. You dont need to use a server side script at all, although it is best, they can be done without, here are two pieces of code that I have used before, as I done have access to server side programs.<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="mailto:your email?subject=form post" ENCTYPE="text/plain">First add your email and then add a subject for the email that is sent, this means then that you can set a rule up in your inbox to file you message straight away into an appropiate folder whilst still highlighting that you have mail. You need to use this instead of your <form> tag.Then...<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Submit Post" onclick="window.location='thankyou.html';"Then insert this code just before you reset form button, and make a thankyou.html page, telling your user that you have recieved their post and will respont ASAP.There are some problems with this, it depends whether the user has an email program, or if not then i will ask them to sign into their hotmail and click send.The other porblem is that even if you don't recieve any email at all it will still say thankyou and say you have recieved it.But this method works for me, and so appart from that it is fine.Hope this has helped you at all.

  7. Just a quick one.I've got a link to create an email:<a href="mailto:enquiries@address.com?subject=ENQUIRY">email</a> etcwhich opens up Outlook (or the default email client), creates a new email and sticks the address and subject in the proper fields. The cursor, however, stays at the beginning of the subject line.Any way of moving the cursor to the big message field so the user can start typing straight away.I know it's not a major problem but it would be handy to be able to do it.Thanks.
    You might like to try using this code instead:<a href="mailto:enquiries@address.com?subject=ENQUIRY&body=Text here to delete">email</a>Then they will actually know to delete it hence bringing them to the body of the email! But you can only use up to 30 words for this.
  8. Ok listen to this one, i have looked for it but cant find the code to do it.... What i want to do is change the font in the alt="" attribute, any ideas on how i may do this?
    You could try changing your basefont like this:<basefont size="4" color="name or hexcode" style="font">Insert after your body, pehaps this might work, I am not sure though.
  9. Can I just point out to you that, even if you have the movie on the actual site the user will still have to download it because their computer cant view it otherwise.Its is the same with pictures aswell, everything that the website needs is requested for and then once it is downloaded into the users tempory internet files it then displays it.This is in effect is what happens when someone opens you page.

  10. I mainly use IE, and I only use firefox to check things, I dont really like firefox, because it doesn't use my stylesheet at all, and so all links dont follwo the right structure.Anyway, enough of me moaning, I have both fixefox and IE installed.

  11. Thanks for mentioning that, I wasn't sure about it :)
    Wow, that is seriously cool, I never knew that there were that many different colours you could use, the ones that I listed were from a HTML book that I have got but from reading it, I think that it was last printed in 2000, and so it might not be up to date.But I will certainly use those other ones, I mainly use just hexcodes but they are cool!
  12. Well, if you're using just html it would be:<p align="right">This text will be on the right</p>But if you're using CSS (I don't think you will be) you could set up a class for right-aligned text by doing something like this:p.right {text-align: right;}and then in your html have:<p class="right">This text will be right</p>
    I would just like to add to that, that if you are trying to align text in tables, some sites say you cant, but if you just use the <p align="right">Text</p> it will work!
  13. You can use hexcodes safely :) With only those "safe colours" you can't really choose nice colours out of so little amount. But it is up to you :) You can use anything you want, only not all colours (might) look exactly the same in all browsers.
    So, if I dont use the websafe colours will they perhaps appear dithered?I dont usually use other than websafe colours, its just for one site template that I have made.
