What do you mean? Validating at both client and server-side doesn't compete with a full validate at server-side Javascript can be shut down by the user, or even altered anyway. The javascript must be not more than a suggestion to the user, but the php validation must be a forced one. So even if the user bypasses the javascript validation, it still would not be able to bypass it at php side. You are not supposed to use javascript validation though, its optional. Sometimes users may find it just rather ignoring.What I mean is, if you are going to use php validation anyway, you should make a full one that is safe in all surconstances so that the user cannot post unwanted data. The javascript validation would just prevent the data from submitted, but only if the user doesn't mess with the script on the page

About the image not showing up, there can be various reasons for that. As I like to explain that :)IE does not load any images after a link was clicked. Then it displays a blank image with a red X in the upper left corner. Or just nothing. :)If the javascript that calls that image defined a new Image() object, then that could solve your problem, as an object, IE would load the image, but this is all I heard about it, I don't exactly know myself how to do that.

Oh yeah, I forgot, you added something, right. I remember now, I do have read it :)But I didn't know if Chocolate was still working on the skin for the software update reason. And he was on vakation a little earlier.I like to help with a stylesheet, but I am not that experienced with full stylesheets, even my own I can't rewrite. If the stylesheet is of such great forum, it gets too complicated for me I want to help, but I don't know how. Besides, I don't have ideas for the skin itself

If you created the forum your self, you can always do that, but if it is really InvisionFree, than you can't unless you enirely recreate the form they use. Elseways you would miss some data they use in hidden fields, or have too much data thay already get from somewhere else (eg a cookie or a session).

Spy Sweeper is very good for most spyware/adware, but my free version cannot be updated without payment. Though it can still find loads of malicious mess. If you are experiencing "CoolWebSearch" or "CWS", which is one of the most malicious spyware I know of, you should use a special program to find and destroy CWS. Manually, it is impossible to remove it. It is the most effective threat to hijack your homepage, insert irremovable icons on the desktop, popups, slow windows, and maybe even more. It is ######.Also, for this threeat I have a special program, free, that can remove any CWS installation on your computer. If this name is familiar with you or any of your friends, I'll be happy to hand my program over to you, as I find this threat so damned I want the whole world free of it. More or less

Not really. IE can position absolutely too. What exactly goes wrong?

I would have suggested PHP too in the beginning, but I keep saying that in the JavaSctipt forum Besides, you are using javascript, and it can be fully converted to php code, javascript validation would not be necessary.

Shouldn't this be in the ASP forum?

The syntax seems correct to me, unless its this:if(isBlank(formfield.value)), where does "formfield" come from?Anyway, this is fine. You could put all these functions in one though, in a function called "validateform" or something. Using that, remember to return the value that passes permission to submit, from both sides. Eg:

Well, the idea of the script I wrote, was to validate all fields after the form was submitted. Making a function of that piece of code, I just don't know where you want to call that function. This piece of script sould be called upon submit, anywhere else could probably cause problems, I suppose. What is your intension of making a function?

Haha, lol :)I read it, but the announcement seemed, or at least I thought to be outdated, since the software update :)Cool you're still working on a skin, I'm curious what the result will be :blink:Do any of you know why that border doesn't know if it has to be dotted or solid?

I know you have ad-aware and spybot, as you said earlier, but I have had those two too. And when I got myself a Spy Sweeper, I was astonished even how much this anti spyware program could find and remove. Which the other two couldn't! Unfortunately, when I got SS, is long ago. I can't find myself a free version online to download anymore, so my own free version has been replaced on the internet by a trial version (shareware). If you like the idea of Spy Sweeper that claims to be better (in my opinion and of much others) than the others, I may give it to you a copy of my free version somehow (or I can publish it if more are interested)

What exactly do you mean? Do you want to pass the entire link from one page to another as data, or whatelse?

You can make a loop in the function that triggers the alert, in which loop you can access the element (eg by ID) that is parent of all the labels. And then fetch the innerHTML. Like this:

To send it to your database, you need to use mysql functions with php in the processor file. This is the file you would specify in the action attribute of the form. You would need to understand basics of communicating with the database, like with mysql_connect() and mysql_query(). Another important php function to use with databases (and not to forget) is mysql_fetch_array(). With those three basic php scripts can be made for handling the data sent by the form, and store or also get data in/from the database. It is much more difficult when you're only used to html and javascript, php is a server-side language If you don't know "java" yet, when you mean "javascript", php can be a very difficult step yet to come. But everything in its time, don't rush into things.

Not really, you can clearly see that it is the browser and not my eyes. Because it is not the entire border, no only a few parts of the border, pieces of both vertical sides.The dotted borderline is not too close, all dotted borders are this close. I've never yet seen anything like this, I don't have a clue what it actually means or what can be done about it (if can)

If this program is from a trusted resource, then the resource should be reconsidered :)ishost.exe is not a trusted file, if it tries to access the internet without you knowing of what it is likely that it should do, as in knowing Messenger needs internet access, it should not be given permission. What was the purpose of this file when you downloaded it?You can just delete the malicious file and see if that solves the problem, or search for a different antivirus or antispyware. I have Zone Labs ZoneAlarm, Norton AntiVirus and Webroot SpySweeper, and I have never had problems concerning malware [*Edit:]You SHOULD consider an anti spyware program, as if you only have antivirus and firewall, you won't be protected from spy ware, with which you are dealing with right now. ishost.exe is spy ware.

Sidenote, with browser, I also meant version But never mind.I can recommend other menu's, but there are so many. I'll give you a site thats full of those, you can choose which one you want, they are all browser friendly http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/index.htmlAnd this page contains not even all of their menus. Check it out

Before the update of our software, I heard of one of the mods someone was busy on creating a new skin for this board, how is that, is it working?Next, I wanted to notice a very small and tiny weird thing with the code boxes, probably never noticed before. It is a verly litle detail, and it is even not important. But here goes. If a code box is in view (not codebox but code box), and if you scroll with the mousewheel, the dotted border keeps changing between "dotted", "dashed" and "solid" partially. But if you scroll with the scrollbars manualy, it doesn't change. And I really don't mean the codebox that has its own scrollbars, but the default code box, and the scrollbars of the window. I noticed this even before the version update, but couldn't think of any reason why this is occuring. Any ideas?Are there any plans - in case that somebody quited working on the skin - for a custom skin, or will we stick to the default?

You can't You can use the codebox or code as you did, there is no phpbox. There is for only code, codebox, sql, quote and html

For how much I know, it is impossible to upload via the url, it must be via an HTML form, to let the browser use the internal process that actually uploads the files, and send the data to the action file :)But I don't know about AJAX. I guess it counts for AJAX too, but can't be sure. What if you just create a form and open the action of the form in a new window? The page would not be refreshed, at least not when using html/javascript, I don't know AJAX or how it works

I don't know what's wrong then, it works fine with me. What browser do you use? Maybe this script is browser dependant?Anyway, the javascript that is in the file, it is quite big for only a few flyouts

I don't know if it is possible to mail to Yahoo, but if you define an action attribute for the form element with "mailto:myaddress@someserver.com", the data should be sent to the address. Though you should return the value made by the prompt into an element inside the form, but again, I don't know if posting such data to a Yahoo address is possible. Hotmail can I remember.But you could also choose to use server-side mail script, or even a database. With a database, it can all be full automatic :)Then you don't need to use mails to your self, nor your interferance in adding the items.

Do you mean the letters S-Z? What's wrong with it, it works ?

Yeah Chocolate, probable it would mean nothing, but rewards were only an example, couldn't think of something else. I hadn't thought about it concerning spam, I just thought it would be nice. If it won't be installed for whatever reason, then so be it. I don't bother, its just an idea.
