Hi all,

I have a client who keeps telling me that the human body (on his 
site) has its head cut off. He also tells me that some buttons 
overlap text. I tried IE and FF in 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768 and the 
SBC Yahoo! Browser (which he says he uses) and I can't reproduce 
the problem. I have asked him to check the text size on the screen, 
but when I made mine larger it still didn't recreate the problem. 
Any ideas?


The site is http://www.starqualitydesigns.com/BestHealth

Thanks,
Riva

Don't know what's causing it, but I can see the same problem using 
Mozilla 1.6. Looks like text is covering a small part of the head. 
Let me know if you change anything and want me to look again.

This is weird. Would you mind sending me a screenshot? Also, what 
versions and OS's do you have?

[wdvltalk] Perl question

2006-07-27 Thread Portman

Hi all,

I am trying to change a program that I wrote a long time ago and I keep 
getting a 500 Server Error when I make changes.


The plan is to have the program check if the total of the order is over 
$50. If so, the SH charge is $5. If not, the SH charge is $8. What I 
have so far is:


# Find out what state is selected and get the corresponding percentage 
to use

my $selectedState=$q-param('state');
my $shippingCharge=$shipcost{$selectedState}*$total+5;

which works fine. When I try and change it to:

# Find out what state is selected and get the corresponding percentage 
to use

my $selectedState=$q-param('state');

if ($total  50) { 
my $shippingCharge=$shipcost{$selectedState}*$total+8;

}
else
my $shippingCharge=$shipcost{$selectedState}*$total+5;
}

I get the error. Can anyone tell me why I am getting the error? The 
rest of the program works fine - just falls apart when I add those lines in.


Thanks,
Riva

Possible it is a typo, although I did try so many things. Do you think 
that could throw the error? (Just omitting the brace?)

It's a scope issue. By using 'my' inside the braces you create a new 
variable that only exists inside the braces.

Thanks Sheila. That always confused me in Perl - the rest I understood

[wdvltalk] DB question?

2006-07-27 Thread Portman

Hi again,

My client, the same one with the text problem, wants me to set up a part 
of his site so that he (or someone not knowledgeable about computers) 
could add to. My thinking is to have a text file that the page somehow 
reads and he can just edit the text file and upload it. Problem is, I am 
not sure I know how to do this. I guess I could write a program in Perl 
to read the appropriate part of the file (or separate files) and display 
it in a web page. Any ideas/comments/advice?


Thanks,
Riva

Riva,

Not that I know anything, but would a blog be a suitable vehicle 
for that?   Wordpress might do it and there is provision for 
authorising contributors (and preventing non-authorised), as well 
as altering the design to work with the site.
