Unfortunatly Client Side Scripting Languages are not supported by all browsers, especially text based browsers like lynx. This means that people using these browsers wont be able to use the Javascript. If you want your site to use javascript, use it. But make sure that if Javascript was swicd off that your site ca still function, or provide a link to a text based version of the site.As for Basic HTML, its an old technology. Building a site with HTML is like building a wooden house. It will never be as strong as a brick house i.e. as XHTML. XHTML has the advantage of being structured so you can be asured your site will be interpretted the same by different browsers.Chaos

Hey EveryoneHere is an Article I wrote a few months ago on Accessibility. Hope you find it useful.WAI or Web Accessibility Initiative was set up by the W3C in order to provide guidelines and techniques for making webpages accessible to people with disabilites.The WAI guidelines are made up of three priorities. If you want your site to be available to everyone then it is important you at least comply with priority one.This article aims to provide basic techniques and checkpoints so you can start making your site accessible. I will write a longer and more indepth article at some point in the future which will provide an indepth look into how to make an accessible site.Basic PracticesIn order to comply with Priority 1 the following checkpoints must be checked. Most of these are common sense and you will find most sites only fall short on one or two points.    * Always use the Alt attribute when using the IMG tags    * Dont use Marquee or Blinking text    * Make sure the document can still be read, and understood, without a style sheet    * Provide text links when using image maps    * Dont use tables for layout - only use them to convey data in a table format    * Title each frame to facilitate frame identification and navigation.    * Ensure that pages are still usable if all applets/scripts etc are turned offThese are the basic guidelines your site should follow if you wish it to be accessible to the majoirty of uses.Onto Priority TwoPriority two focuses on the interoperability of the web page(How well it can be transfered from one browser to another) The majoiry of the guidlines involve good web programming practices. If you already markup your sites the the XHTML 1.1, you will find your site complies with most guidlines.    * Labels must be used to designate form fields.    * Ensure background and Foreground colours contrast - this is for obvious reasons.Onto Priority ThreePriority three expands on priority two, most of the things covered in Priority three tend to be for older and less complex text readers.    * You must identify the natural language of the document    * Adjacent Links must be seperated by something more than whitespace, seperating with break or paragraph tags will not work    * Place holders must be used in otherwise empty input boxes.Rounding offOk, that completes my introduction to the WAI this should be enough to get you started.ValidatingIt is always important to use a validator to check the main points of your markup. Remember to also check things validators cant such as colour contrasts.Bobbyhttp://bobby.watchfire.com  -  A great validator to check your sites. Also gives a list of things for users to check independantly.If, after best efforts, you cannot create an accessible page, provide a link to an alternative page that uses W3C technologies, is accessible, has equivalent information (or functionality), and is updated as often as the inaccessible page. This will ensure your content is available to anyone who wants it.Hope this helps, if you have any questions please feel free to askChaos

Hey all,I have read all the tutorial relating to XML in the w3schools site, but still I need to know how XML could be related to ex. web services, programming languages, so how could it be used?thanks 4 caring

once you start using it to communicate with database, you will notice that there really is no better way. its basically as you say it.SELECT ALL FROM USERS WHERE USERNAME = PUNKSTARtranslates in sql to..SELECT * from `users` WHERE `username` = 'punkstar'easy :)SQL is simple compared to PHP because PHP is a progamming language, and SQL is just a standard way to communicate with any (good) databases out there *shines*

hello!i need to place a simple poll on my website. can anyone describe the process in several simple steps? can i have a MS access database? how simple can it be (what should it contain in order to collect data from polls?)i have already made the skeleton of the poll in HTML (form with radio buttons).i'd also want the results of the poll to be displayed (on the same place where the poll is) in percents after the submit button is clicked.i hope i made my problem clear enough. if not, let me know..Thanksp.s. for those who really find it difficult to picture what i really want to do,visit http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.ph...pic=153&hl=polland you'll see the exact poll that i would like to have

If you want to try out PHP, and don't want to install a webserver manually, try XAMPP which installs a webserver with PHP (and lots of other stuff) for you.

if u working on local host, be sure that u lunch the apache webserver,and u have saved the above file with the .php extension,and save it in ur www root folder.

thanks for supporting

Does anybody has or knows a link to download the JavaScript referecne?!

others please specify

With PHP you can also write client side GUI applications using the PHP-GTK extension. This is a completely different approach than writing web pages, as you do not output any HTML, but manage windows and objects within them. For more information about PHP-GTK, please visit the site dedicated to this extension. PHP-GTK is not included in the official PHP distribution. so what is the gtk??

wow html is realy hard for me i dnt under tsand it if any 1 is willing to make me i will be so gr8 full

Get some books if you don't already, they're the easiest thing. I got a PHP book and learnt more in the last few days than I have in the last few months off the internet. Good luck however.

I really need help with C++ !!! I've been having problems prgramming it and it drives me crazy. I know it seems that I dont know how to do it but this course is part of my requirement and I want as much help as I can. Jeez I cant beileve how hard it is. Even my advisor told me that but, I'll try my hardest to live upon of what I know and go on from there.

i think you're right. javascripts is also very important and give syou a hang to php also. in php you also need some javascripts to spice it up.so yea html, then css, javascript, php, mysqlxhtml is not used that much (i think) but it'll be an advantage to learn it.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

there is a program that I have which install the number of pages u want from any website, I will try to send it to u (maybe it is large).

I think that we need a forum dedicated for databases and all its related features, from access, oracle, mysql, ado,....

Yep, we need stuff on how to make SQL querys in PHP.alzable

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I don't think so

u need to have a small look at the html language, so to read the tutorial on the w3schools website, and then use the frontpage from the office XP to have a look how it could works and other stuffs.if u need to develop a small website with free templates, then go to www.freeservers.com and then register for it (free of charge), and so that is ur website is ready to edit and view it.After that, u need to be more expert in it and need to know and write javascripts or vbscripts, that will enable u to create a dynamic website (also u can use php , asp, ...).so, go ahead , the gates are openposts ur questions here

but anyway, u have to be used to write ur scripts in the same case and the better is to use the small case, and in case there are 2 words then capitalize the first letter from the second word.and never begin with spaces.............

html is not case sensitive, it is not like php, so in html <bodY> is the same as <BoDY>but that is not the case in the html
