[wdvltalk] Re: No show mpg?

2003-11-09 Thread JimMenees
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";

[wdvltalk] Re: Undestanding Web Stats

2003-11-18 Thread JimMenees
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  ?   

Thanks,

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.  To have it 
UNDER the image, give the mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

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

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! 

Hope this helps, 

Jim

[wdvltalk] Re: javascript code check

2003-12-27 Thread JimMenees
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'.

[wdvltalk] Form Data processing

2003-12-30 Thread JimMenees
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? 

Thanks & Happy New Year to All,

[wdvltalk] Re: AOL Question?

2003-12-30 Thread JimMenees
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.

[wdvltalk] Re: JavaScript question

2004-01-08 Thread JimMenees
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?). 

Hope this helps, 

Jim

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??

[wdvltalk] Re: Please Help--Getting my Web Design Out of the Box

2004-02-07 Thread JimMenees
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.  

Hope this helps, 

Jim

2004-02-12 Thread JimMenees
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! 

Hope that's helpful,
