[wdvltalk] strange lash trouble. Please help!
This is the craziest thing. I recently added several 'supposedly foolproof' flash music players ( form http://www.premiumbeat.com ) to a page I've done to promote my music, at http://pixyland.org/mymusic.html. If you look there, I put a simple example involving minimal scripting near the top of the put a very simple example right near the top of the page, and if you click the play button, a music sample will play. That is, except in Firefox, and only on XP! I have mozilla (2.0.) on both my older Win-98SE and newer XP-pro machine, and the same flash version (9). With the Win-98 OS, and either IE or Firefox, the music plays. In IE on XP-pro, the music plays. But Firefox on XP-pro? The player just displays an icon indicating it's trying to access the music file, and endlessly spins. I've included my coding below, but I don't expect anyone to troubleshoot the script for me. Even someone at premiumbeat.com said I was doing that exactly right. So I'm really in the dark here. If nothing else, could someone please verify whether they see the same problem? To make matters even stranger, this only happens on MY website! Meaning, the examples at premiumbeat work on their page! I don't know. Since the file access strings are being passed to a javascript, I suppose it's possible that there's something wrong with the way I'm passing path/file strings, that other versions don't have a problem with. Or, maybe there's some odd issue with the players own internal scripting (JS file) that doesn't properly detect Firefox on XP. Still another possibility is some weird interaction between internal browser variables and my hosting comany's .HTACCESS file (for hot link protection). There are just too many possibilities and few clues, so I'm totally perplexed. Has anyone else has run across this issue that can can explain what might be the culprit! Thanks for any help!Again, though it's probably irrelevant, here's my code to involk a player. div id=autoSongnbsp;/div script type=text/javascript var so = new SWFObject(mp3/bin/playerMini.swf, mymovie, 75, 30, 7, #00); so.addVariable(autoPlay, no); so.addVariable(soundPath, mp3/cd/TinkTinkSample.mp3); // +myCD[sampleSong]); so.addVariable(playerSkin,2); so.addVariable(overColor,#00); so.write(autoSong); /script -- Randy (PeterPan) * * * * * ...

[wdvltalk] HELP! Alout to lose my hosting!
I know this is probably way off topic, but I just need some advise. For over 6 years now, my Peter Pan's Home Page website has been hosted by digitalspace.net. It's pixyland.org, and it's main subdomain is http://peterpan.pixyland.org. Anyway, the site has grown and grown, and is very high traffic for a personal website, about 80 gig bandwidth/month. Digitalspace.net never had a package that offered that much bandwidth, but they offered me unlimited bandwidth in exchange for a banner ad, which I KNOW generated a ton of business for them. Now, the ownership has changed hands, will not honor the agreement. Worse, they won't even talk to me about any special deals, beyond buying extra bandwidth on a gigabyte by gigabyte basis. Doing that would increase my monthy fee from about $10/month to over $100. As the site is a labor of love, and passes all income over costs to charities at years end, I have little choince but to scramble to find another hosting company. Even now, their system is simply deleting parts of my services to punish me, and they claim no one has control over it. Anyway, this is about what I need: 1. Maybe 1/2 gig of disk space. 2. About 80 gig of bandwidth /month 3. At least a few subdomains I can point to special pages or directories (don't need additional IPs) 4. A settable visitor counter so I can carry on the legacy of the site (It's close to 10 million, so...) 5. A human contact I could talk to at the hosting company, to help me with setup issues. 6. Help with installation of .HTACCESS file, to prevent hot linking, which would make the bandwidth even worse. Thanks in advance. I know there are a million hosting companies out there, but I don't do websites for a living and know little about who really is best and most affordable. Thanks for any insight. -- Randy (PeterPan) * * * * * ...

Re: [wdvltalk] Screen viewing problems
Portman wrote: 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. -- Randy (PeterPan) * * * * * ...

[wdvltalk] Slide shows/ photo viewers
Just looking for some slide show/photo viewer recommendations, with links to examples so I can see how they look. It doesn't have to be freeware either, though a good price is always a plus. If one of you has written your own and you'd like to recommend it, that would be great too. Here's my wish list: 1. No coding that is too browser specific (no Active-X stuff). 2. I'd like the slide show generator to produce something that I can embed within my own template page. 3. I'd like it to show thumbnails you can click on, in configurable sizes and arrays. 4. I'd like to know I can add insert new photos to a given collection without too big a fuss. Thanks for all advise! FYI, for as long as I've run my site, I've tried to keep the improvised appearance of each page having different layouts, according to the occasion. But now I've just come from the mother of all fairy festivals (Labyrinth of Jarreth in Hollywood), and in addition to the 30 some odd photos I took, at least 1/2 dozen people have sent me nearly 500 photos already! (fairies are VERY vain creatures). So while I still intend to make an interesting 'blend' page about it, the bulk of it will have to go into a viewer/slide show. -- Randy (PeterPan) * * * * * ...

Re: [wdvltalk] Better email link
Well thanks everyone! Well of the various examples you all posted, this kind of link seems to work best... a href= mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]span class = linkTextEmail /span/a So I think I'll do basically that, and maybe go a step further by detecting javascript availability, and if it is, writing the string on the fly. That way, I can do some easier experimenting to foil automated address collectors, etc. I'm already filtering pretty good, both at the server side and in my aging Mozilla mail client. SPAM is only half my problem, the other half is that my address ends up being in thousands of virus infected machines. Mark, yeah... its still the real me. Only the web site has gotten so huge I can hardly keep up with it anymore. But it has worked out very well for me, and is now helping me sell my first music CD too. :-) -- Randy (PeterPan) * * * * * ...

[wdvltalk] Forcing a window to load small
I've a page that opens in a small window whenever any one clicks on a certain link on my site. I control the size in the usual way by providing an attribute string when I open it. But, I'd like for people to be able to bookmark that window, and have it open that same size just by going to it's URL. In Netscape you can simply force the window to anothr size with a script, but IE doesn't allow that. I've tried to write code to let the window detect that it was not opened by a parent window, and having it re-open a clone of itself smaller and then closing itself. But every way I try to do this, I end up with an endless loop of new windows opening that soon gets out of control and crashes the system. I don't want to take any chance of doing that, so does anyone know a safe way to re-open to the right size without risking endless recusrion? -- Randy (PeterPan) * * * * * ...
