[wdvltalk] Re: No show mpg?
Gerrie, The first time I tried it, Windows Media player threw an error. So then I tried accessing the movie directly: http://goto.glocalnet.net/startsida/images/leap.wmv and it worked just fine. Then I created an html document with just your ahref tags, but made it an absolute link instead of a relative link, and flushed my cache (so it had to download again). The absolute link worked just fine ---> no error. Given that series of outcomes, my suggestion is to try using the absolute link in your href tag: http://goto.glocalnet.net/startsida/images/leap.wmv"; http://goto.glocalnet.net/startsida/images/button5.jpg"; mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.

Along these lines, I have a very basic question: What is a 'hit' in webstats analysis? Does it translate to 'clicks' of a mouse on a page, or ?

[wdvltalk] Re: Simple Qestion
This question made me wonder, "Tables can have captions, why not images ??" So I tried it out... and it worked! (in current msie browser): caption text It's rather interesting. The caption tag will NOT accept style attributes. None. Nada. Zippo.. If you put a border around the image, the caption is left out. if you assign align="top, bottom, middle, " that's where the caption floats.

[wdvltalk] Re: Simple Qestion
After more playing, it looks like any 'ol tag (caption or other) might do it, and just add some style to that tag to set it up right. I plopped it all into a parent div and came up with the following. (note that if you set imagestyle display:block, it will make the caption wrap under the image; otherwise, you can set the <-- body {background-color:black; color:white; font-family:verdana; font-size:8pt} .parentwrapper {border:1px gray dashed; float:left; text-align:center; } .imagestyle{width:100px; height:100px; border:4px red double; } .captionstyle {color:yellow; font-weight:bold; border-bottom:4px double orange; } This is the image caption text --> The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.

[wdvltalk] Re: Simple Qestion
Eddie, The file I'll send you (off list) fixes your problem; the caption div was inheriting properties from the image; so I moved it up in the doc tree and made it float:right (gave it a width too, as someone else had suggested); then the parent container was set to a width which equalled the image width + caption width + 5px. All margins, borders & padding set to zero, just for good measure. Interesting how moving the caption box UP seems to be the fix!

[wdvltalk] Re: javascript code check
Glad it worked out KoaFar! FYI to others, I created a dynamically written javascript which, onmouseover (or use an onClick event handler) would write the embed html code to an empty div layer which is positioned off the page (ie: not visible). The embed tag which is written to the div have the autoplay attribute set to 'true' so that the wav will play; Then, onmouseout, it dynamically re-writes the embed coding to set autoplay to 'false'. ~Jim The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.

[wdvltalk] Form Data processing
A new client wants visitors to fill out a 'long' form and email info to her so she can input the info to an Access db. Her current host only has mySQL; to keep programming costs down for her, I'm wondering what the easiest way to get the form data: - 1. process via FormMail.pl and have her copy/paste data out of emails; 2. input the form info to mySQL (via PHP) and have her copy/paste selected content from html data display page; 3. change web hosts and have the form (via ASP) post data to a server side Access db and just download the db file to her home system; - Any suggestions?

[wdvltalk] Re: AOL Question?
Hello there Ottis, Actually I'm still wy back on version 6.0; I d/l the new current 9.0 to see what all the fuss was about (AOL is really pushing everyone to go to version 9). I like to manage my own windows, keeping them about 75% of the size of our monitor; AOL 9 uses windows that cannot be viewed or manipulated (resized with scrollbars) unless you maximize their size, which is not to my liking. That seems to be a quirk unique to me, since I've noticed many people surf with their browser window maximized. UUGH not for me! With that said, I uninstalled version 9 ;-) I never use AOL for web browsing; I found out that if a site hangs the browser, it also hangs aol, and if the browser crashes, well, you get the picture. So I surf with the blue-e. I hear of AOL's limitations and some people specifically altering their code to accomodate aol browsers, along with Macs and web tv and such. If you go to aol.com, i believe they have a whole area of their site devoted to web development and the how-to's and what-for's of accomodating any differences in AOL. (I know any type of spam or marketing mail to AOL members has to be specially tailored or it looks really bad). If you have a specific URL I can surf to from within AOL, I'll be happy to go there and make a screen print for you. ~Jim The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.

[wdvltalk] Re: JavaScript question
Jenni, Here are some URLs which offer chromeless window scripts: http://www.dhtmlshock.com/window-scripts/Chromeless/default.asp http://www.xentrik.net/javascript/chromeless.php# Interestingly, while both examples above have width and size specs, my MSIE 6 browser opens them full-screen. According to http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex8/chromeless.htm The dynamic drive script, it's not MSIE changing the specs, but the operating system affecting the code (some kind of security precaution?).

[wdvltalk] Re: Coding help
Will, off-list I sent you a screen print where I used a "show blocks" bookmarklet (from http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/webdevel.html) to display all the blocks on your site. It appears that in the top row there's a big block with just a background image (a td cell?) that is pushing everything about 400 px to the right. If you eliminate that block, hopefully it will let everything come back in line?? ~Jim The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.

[wdvltalk] Re: Please Help--Getting my Web Design Out of the Box
Janet, http://coolhomepages.com/ is a fun site to visit for ideas. Also, have you thought of using div layers? You can still use your sliced creative images in a table, just "wrap" the sliced-images-table inside a div layer and use z-index to paste it 'behind' other layers. Then, utilize other layers with a higher-numbered z-index, so their images or text are in the forefront. You can use absolute positioning to make those layers stick to the same coordinate spots every time the page is loaded. In that fashion, you might have a patterned background image, say a circle, or oval, in the background layer, and then paste text navigation links 'around' the edges of the circle using css absolute positioning.This offers you a bit more variety than a 'boxy' look via use of tables.

Cheryl, I've customized my MSIE Links tool bar to add javascript bookmarklets. There are many sites, but one I've found with some useful developer tools is at: http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/ There you can find bookmarklets which onClick let you: view http headers; validate (w3c) html; show blocks (outlines all the div borders on a page); disable style sheet; There's a few other ones too!
