  1. I check wheter the user is using windows, linux, mac and then show

 Have you tried to google for browser versions and platform?  While
 searching for the same thing long time ago, I found a site that lists
 them.  Also, note that since you'll be using onClick for push of a
 button, beware of Javascript version difference among the browsers.
 IIRC, IE is supports 1.3 and FF supports 1.9.  Haven't tested the
 others so couldn't tell you.

  2. When the browser clicks button with the image of browsers inside
  anchor I target _new and location of the current file
 
  ?1 How can I offer option to open a new window not a new tab?
  ?2 How can I avoid the target attribute?
  ?3 How can I make a click on an image to produce action - or what do
  You suggest me to use - I would prefer img element not  button with an
  image - how can I do this?
 
  Once I will finish it I will offer here software to everybody so I
  will be able to get some response and improve it and this is one of
  the major problems otherwise it is already functional.
 
  Please help me, thanks in advance - or ? You think I could do this better 
  in JS?

 I don't know if you have Flash in your tool belt but have you
 considering using it?  It may simply your life with various browsers
 and their versions across different platforms.  Note: Flash does tend
 to be sluggish in terms of loading time and how much of what you need
 the Flash to do.

 I'd avoid trying to guess the browser entirely. There are always loads
 of fringe browsers that are in use, and things like Wine that allows
 people to run IE on Linux, as well as other Windows-based browsers too.
 As soon as you're trying to write a script that detects a specific
 browser and does something then you're already doing it wrong. Don't
 test for the browser, test for the feature that you're using. Javascript
 has a useful function called hasFeature which may help here.

 The main reason why it's bad to try and detect a browser and act on it
 is because you can get many browsers that work across a wide variety of
 operating systems such as Fx  Opera, which vary from version to version
 and OS to OS.

 Thanks,

A common approach to web dev is to start with a dumb page - just HTML
and then add CSS and JS. This is known as progressive enhancement.

Another approach which I've read about recently is called regressive
enhancement. Essentially, you start at the cutting edge, using the
functionality that you want (canvas for example), and then add in the
missing features.

As more of the browsers that support the newer features become the
popular ones, you end up with less code providing support for older
browsers. So, when every browser supports canvas, you don't need to
install any code to emulate the canvas. Modenizr and YepNope are the
tools I read about for this.

[PHP] Permission Denied

2011-03-27 Thread Ethan Rosenberg

Dear List -

Thanks for all your help in the past.  Here is another one...

I am getting a Permission Denied message when I try to run a PHP 
script.  I just changed the mode on the directory and the files to 
777.  This problem arose when I changed the permissions.  I thought I 
was solving a problem, because I could not open a file for 
writing.  I was not receiving error messages, but no file was created.


Help and advice, please.

Ethan Rosenberg

I assume you are thinking of saving it in a MySQL table?
If so read this http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/blob.html
