[wdvltalk] RE: Photoshop 7.0 Question: How do you draw a line?
Casey - I looked to see if somebody replied to this, but didn't see it. So I apologize for the duplicate if that is the case. I believe what you are talking about is the bounding box - the tiny dotted lines that are around anything you select with the move tool. When you are getting the error message that this layer is not directly editable when you try to erase it, that is because you are probably on the layer below it, either a locked layer or the original background layer. To get rid of it, you will need to have the Move Tool selected (the arrow), then click on Show Bounding Box at the top. If you do not see this, go to Window and make sure that Options is selected. Then just uncheck the box. There are times when it is useful to have the bounding box showing, but certainly more times than not when it is a pain in the a**. When you do go back to edit this line, make sure that you highlight that layer to edit. I find that when working with the line tool that it isn't easily selectable by clicking on it, and usually selects instead the locked background behind it. Also, the type of line that you use (shape layer, path, fill pixels) determines the ease at which you can edit it. Sorry if this is way off - HTH!

What kind of oddly are you talking about? When you drag a line, say a white line, it is wrapped in thin black line, almost like marching ants, but w/o the marching. It was driving me nuts trying to figure out how to get rid of it - thought it was an actual part of the line as if I had it set to put a border on it, but then I realized that when you click off of the layer it goes away. But still, when you click back on the layer to edit it, change the color, etc, this obnoxious thin black wrapper comes back. WTH? I hate this thing and I want it to go away for ever. Also, when I tried to erase a section of the line it wouldn't let me, said something like This layer is not directly editable. I had to merge it with another layer before I could edit it. Yuk. Sio, I'm not talking about the pen tool, although I already went through the exact same frustration you described. I'm sure there are good reasons that these changes exist in 7.0, but it will just take some learning time to figure out how to work with them. Of course, the built in Help tool is 100% utterly useless, as it is in all applications. Casey . The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM .

[wdvltalk] RE: [OT] Problem with service after the sale - LONG
Thanks for the input Diane. Yes, I agree that it is time for me to develop a means for the end-user to maintain their own site. I had thought about this already, and would want to do it on my own time so that I could use it for more than just her. So that is now on my list of things to do/research. As for selling her on the value/concept of the site, I may be wrong but I feel that I have done everything that I can. I have given her several ways in which she can promote it (non-web related), which she has done to some degree. The site is getting hits, and while the numbers are not Amazon numbers, I was pleasantly surprised due to the size of the area that she serves. I persuaded her to start up a small newsletter with email only specials for people that signed up for it online. That has gone fairly well. She is not really interested in a shopping cart, so she is going to be somewhat limited on the area in which she can provide business. I have also provided her with several additional things she could add to her site to make it more personal and add value, and while she jumps at the thought of the idea and what it could do, she always comes back with she is so busy and doesn't have the time for that right now. So in some ways I feel that it is a losing battle. I provided her with the stats for one month, and then offered to roll that into the monthly maintenance agreement, but she was never interested in it. She has several projects for the site through Christmas, then I will probably have to sit with her again and propose her with her alternatives from here on out. Since I am not that experienced (but am a great learner!) on creating an interface for the customer to do their own updating, I have to ask - won't that usually have to be done via a database, and isn't that overkill for most small sites? Or are you thinking also along the lines of creating templates, etc. for them to do their own updates. I really have been thinking about all of these things, but as I'm sure you understand it can be pretty overwhelming to us newbies. Thanks again for your thoughts - they are much appreciated!!

How much do you love doing the work? If this is something you intend to continue long, then as another poster suggested, you should certainly develop the skills and code library that would enable you to build a site that the customer can maintain. Yes, the best jobs are those that provide a long term relationship, but there are people who want to or for a variety of reasons need to maintain the site themselves. She sounds like a perfect candidate for that. While I agree with another poster in that you haven't sold her on the value and concept of a website, I also know that there are some people who just don't get it, and maybe never will. Websites for them, are the current 'thing' - everyone has one right? Learn how to develop a website that the customer can maintain. I agree that it should be done on your tie, and not for a particular customer. Then explain to her that if you are going to do work for her, you will need to charge her for it. Then explain that you can set it up so that she can take over the maintenance, and how much that will cost her. If she doesn't go for it, ask if she wants to maintain her website at all, that you've been getting hints that she may not want to. Do you have a stats on visits to her site? If she's been getting traffic, let her know, then ask her why she feels that the website is losing money. After all, a website can be a singularly effective for of advertising, how can she be sure that the site isn't bringing people into her shop? If she still wants to drop the site, drop it. If she wants to continue it, explain her options 1)self maintain, 2)maintenance agreement at what cost, 3)hourly rate FOR ANY WORK DONE!, with a surcharge for emergency work (anything without sufficient notice - you define sufficient).

Hi Franni - Nope, not so - anyone with relatives in your town/city no matter where they live is a potential client of hers if she targets them properly via that website. It's her virtual showroom, after all. People often use florists local to the person they're buying flowers for if they can find one - much easier when you can email discuss what you want, rather than impersonally using Interflora or similar: for instance does she also offer baskets of fruit for delivery to people in hospital ( a nice touch a florist offered a couple of years ago)? Excellent point - thanks for pointing out the obvious rookie mistake that I continue to overlook Be realistic: have you had even one lead via this work? If not, unless you're seriously into masochism,[ in which case I'm sure someone geographically local to you on the list could volunteer to whip you for your own good ] it's time to cut your loses. No leads yet, but she keeps telling me that she knows several people that could use my services. Can you see me crawling into the corner yet :( The only sitting you should be doing is with a cold beer and a mirror... In front of which to practise saying NO, and I can do that, and it will cost you dollars. Firmly. If she continues to undervalue what you're doing, then take a deep breath and BEFORE christmas, canvas every florist in the area in the next towns to you who either has no website, or has one you could improve, and SELL your creativity to people who'll be willing to pay for it.

Todd, if she's been getting hits, and you've shown that she has, than the new advertising medium she has wisely invested in - a website- is paying off! If she's running email only specials that have been going well, then that is further verification. I'm not sure what she means that she's losing money on it. Does she feel she's losing money on her Yellow Pages ad as well? Even though it can't begin to provide the info a website can? Or doesn't she understand the value of advertising? Yes, databases are often used in user updateable designs, and no, it isn't overkill. You could also, if she uses IE or the latest flavor of AOL, build a Word like interface for her. I would recommend a database driven site though, she can make less of a mess with it. And I agree with Franni - if she doesn't have the time, than neither do you, unless she's willing to pay you for it. As for the leads she's promised you, consider them a carrot dangled in front of your nose, because that how she views it! Good Luck.

[wdvltalk] RE: IE won't view source, ever ... pls help!
Hi Amanda - Well, I don't know if this will do the same for you that it did for me, but it is worth a shot. I had the same problem on 3 different computers - all running Windows XP Pro. It probably happened after an update or something, but nonetheless, I could not use view source. I looked long and hard on the 'net to find out what might solve the problem. I tried everything you listed below (per recommendation of many others including Microsoft). Finally, I found a UNIX list that discussed changing the default web editor to something else by editing the registry. So I modified their suggestion for my benefit - and it worked like a charm!! So, here is what I used: Open the registry editor (Start-Run-regedit), then go to the following: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\View Source Editor\Editor Name (I'm not sure what you have past the Internet Explorer in the Registry, so you may have to add new keys to get View Source Editor and Editor Name). Right click on the default value and click Modify. Then add the path C:\Windows\notepad.exe Then close out of the registry editor and give it a try! This information has been forever filed into my keep folder, as it has been a lifesaver! Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi J.R. Thanks for your tips.

It's appears you are creating an letter where you are wanting to preview what it will actually look like. If so, that is probably your best bet. If you are just wanting them to approve of their entries, you could post the page to itself, post the results back into themselves. ie. input type=text name=txtDearName value=%=Request.Form(txtDearName)% Another, more involved option, if the first paragraph describes accurately what you are wanting to do, is use javascript to interactively build the letter clientside based on a form on the bottom of the screen (using onChange event handlers.)

[wdvltalk] ASP - Picture rotator
Hey Gang - I have a website that I need to automatically rotate some pictures on the home page. I am using ASP with IIS 5/6. I set things up to use the AdRotator, but couldn't get it to work. Does anyone have any other suggestions, given the language and platform. I thought about doing Flash, but it would be great if I could easily update it for future use. Thanks!

RE: OT RE: [wdvltalk] Illegal?
Nick - I agree with J.R. While it sounds like this would give you the upper leg, they surely won't send you payments in jail. My first suggestion would be to send them a CERTIFIED letter (so you have receipt that they got it) letting them know that since their account is way past due you are going to stop their service - and won't continue service until they are caught up. You can also casually include a FAQ reminder about how maintenance prevents problems, etc., maybe to remind them of the problems they are going to have. If it is like the jobs that I have done, even if you have given them the administrative passwords and other necessary information, they typically lose them. So either they will have to contact you for that (which will allow you to ignore them like they are you doing to you), or your replacement will - which you can inform the reason why you stopped service. Anyway... I was going to suggest that before hiring an attorney, but you might want to talk to an attorney anyway. You will undoubtedly be faced with a similar situation in the future. You might be able to have the attorney look at your current contract and if there are loopholes, fix them now. This could prevent leaving you out in the cold in the future. I know - it sucks.

HI I have a customer that I built a network for, then maintained for several months. I am still under contract to the company for a day a month maintenance. The problem is they haven't paid me for a few months and no amount of calls or e-mails gets more than a promise to raise a cheque. I have the capability to VPN in to the server and lock all the users out, in the perhaps misguided assumption that this would expedite payment. Is this legal?

[wdvltalk] OFF TOPIC: Advertising / Afilliates
Hey Gang - I have a website that I will (hopefully) be launching soon in which several people are already asking about being able to advertise on. It would be great if it were as easy as saying pay me and I will put your ad on. However, I find it hard to believe that it is. I have looked all over Google for help but end up sitting for hours looking through stuff that I'm not sure is even relevant. Things that keep coming to mind are: - Do I as the owner charge a monthly rate (or yearly - whatever) or is the norm now based on the number of clicks?

Hey Will! Thank you so much for the information. I will sift through this tonight as there is a lot to digest! :) Todd -Original Message- From: William Stewart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2005 4:34 PM To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com Subject: RE: [wdvltalk] OFF TOPIC: Advertising / Affiliates Hey Todd, I'll take a stab at replying to this. From what I understand, site owners provide their potential ad clients statistics about their site proving that the site receives an X number of hits. Based on what the X is, the cost per click is calculated. The ad client then purchases Y clicks for a certain price. You then tell your software to show the client's ad Y times. A detailed tutorial is here: http://www.adbility.com/helpsell.htm and here: http://www.webdevelopersjournal.com/software/ad_packages_1.html and: http://www.webdevelopersjournal.com/articles/ad_management.html There is some really cool software out there that makes selling advertising for your site a cinch.

RE: [wdvltalk] OT - MS Outlook
Hi Peter - Sounds like you are setting up a very thorough system. The only thing that made my eyes open is when you said that you are setting up a very small HD (5 GB) for the OS, Internet, AV, and firewall. What OS are you going to be running? In my honest opinion, 5GB - esp. for something like WinXP - is too small. There just isn't much room left after you install the OS, the few programs that you will need, and allow room for your temporary and page file. When the OS doesn't have much room to breathe, you are going to choke it. I personally don't set up anything smaller than 10GB - at a minimum. Just my two cents! Todd -Original Message- From: Peter MacGregor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 5:16 PM To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com Subject: Re: [wdvltalk] OT - MS Outlook Well, I only told half the story! The new PC came from my son - but without a HD. It was one he'd had lying around for some time. In our family we cannibalise everything - except each other! I'm going to be using a very small HD (5 Gb) to carry the Operating system and Internet access (including Anti-virus and firewall) but there deliberately won't be room for other programs and data. So I'll be transferring the HD across OK as a slave but want to format the whole thing again. Hence the need to clean it first of anything I need. My aim is to keep everything in future on the large HD and allow nothing on to it until it has been thoroughly virus checked first. All downloads will come onto the C drive and be vetted before being allowed on to the main disk. Another son is an IT Manager for a large London Company and works his company system like that. They use a 120Gb for receiving everything into the company and anything being sent out. It is then checked by two virus programmes and various other security software before being passed on to the intended recipient, each of whom has a 20Gb HD in his or her workstation. (A few have a 40Gb). None of the individual workstations has a disk drive of any sort - and laptops can only be connected after being submitted for AV checking by the IT dept. Anything that needs installing is done by the IT people, either from their own desk or by using a laptop on a wireless network. (One of their salesmen was fired last October when he was caught using his laptop without having first having it vetted by the IT Dept. It was the MD that spotted him and he went ballistic apparently. Fired him on the spot! It's a condition of employment to submit all material and laptops to IT first, so the guy didn't have a leg to stand on.) That way, over the past five years my son has been there, they've hardly ever had a virus get into the system proper. He keeps a second mirror copy of the 120Gb drive with operating system etc. and once has had to swap disks when the Love Bug made it through onto the C drive in its very early days. (The AV Update arrived from their provider about 15 minutes too late!) But it only meant they were down for about thirty minutes in total while he swapped the C drive over! Many other firms were of course left in chaos. It may seem longwinded and even overkill - but as they deal with many leading advertising agencies, some household name chart-topping Pop Stars plus major advertisers they have to be 100% certain their system is clean. Very often advertisers use their facilities as a download location for sample programs or demo copies of stuff they are selling. A multi million pound contract cannot be allowed to slip away because a system has a virus or whatever on it that gets passed to the client! They buy their software direct from Microsoft and they helped them work out this system and set it up with them. (But you need to spend over £100k a year on MS software to get that sort of support!) Since I have the kit lying around to be able to do something similar - but not quite as rigorous - I thought I may as well, having been hit by three viruses over the past six months as I've expanded my online dealings with clients. My son has given me detailed instructions as to what to do and will come and check it all through for me during the weekend, once dad has done all the donkey work!

[wdvltalk] Slicing Tips
Are there any good tutorials out there for slicing up your design in PhotoShop / Image Ready? I struggle with this every time I put one together and it takes me way too long for even basic designs. I do eventually get it, but I think I'm just looking at things wrong. I have found a few tutorials on the web, but they don't seem complete to me. Does anyone have a basic process that you could lend? Do you do the basics with PS/IR then sit down and put your tables together later? Maybe I'm just trying to spend too much time with the graphic before I get to the code. Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks!

[wdvltalk] Database Newbie - Tips?
Hi Gang - Well, the time has come for me to dust off my books and set up my first database. However, with everything that I have read about proper set up, I am worried that I don't have the skills to do it. I have asked a few local friends for assistance in setting it up, but have gotten the cold shoulder (some friends, huh???) So I now turn to my other friends with a plea for help! I am running my own server with Windows 2003 Server and MS SQL Server 2000. I already have a database set up with a single table, and am commuicating with it. My problem is that I have a bit of information that I need to store in the DB that I'm sure will requrie multiple tables. I know how to use multiple tables but I want to be sure that I am putting the correct information where it should go, etc., in order to be efficient, secure, and reduce the chance for problems later. What I have done so far is created a spreadsheet with a column for field name, data type, description, and potential issues. I have listed out most all of the potentital fields that I might need (but I'm sure I have forgotten some), some of the data types, all of the descriptions, and some of the issues. My question is (taking a deep breath) do any of you have any tips on things to think about, or processes that you go through when setting up a new database, or any links on information gathering? I spent most of Sunday on google, but only really found a few useful pages. I just KNOW I'm going to like working with databases once I get started, but it's just been a phobia that I've been avoiding until now - and can't avoid any longer. Any help is always appreciated!

[wdvltalk] OT: Slideshow utility?
Hi Gang - I'm in sort of a bind. A guy who I did a website for has a trade-show in a few days. He gave me a last minute request for a DVD full of images that he could display in a DVD player with a TV. I said no problem and came home and threw them into Roxio Media Creator 7 and built a DVD. Threw it into my player and it worked great - with one exception - as soon as the last picture is shown, it goes to the main menu rather than just starting over. This won't work for him as he would have to manually restart it every 10 minutes. Anyone have any suggestions on where to go from here? Thanks for your advice!

Todd I've just been trawling thru the Help files on Mac's iDVD, that doesn't go for an easy (ie one in plain view) solution to this either - so, a suggestion. If there is plenty of room left on the DVD to duplicate the set of images, could you do that so that it's running thru (say) 6 sets of the same images before clent has to reboot? No where near ideal, but at least better than a reboot every 10 minutes if you don't find the 'right' answer?

[wdvltalk] OT: Explanation on website advertising
Hi gang - I posted this on another list but respect the experience and knowledge of everyone here as well. I have a site that I am getting ready to launch, and expect there to be interest in banner advertising. However, I'm a little confused on how people are charging for this. I see everything from views to clicks, and the rates definitely vary. Can anyone explain what the standard is, and what is the best way to go about tracking this? I appreciate any input or experience you might be able to offer.

[wdvltalk] Help with web page
Hi Everyone - I'm having two particular problems with a site that I am doing. While the site is not live, I set up a sample site so you could have a better idea of what is going on. Only a few pages are live on this site - home, bands, contact. On the left hand side I have a menu that looks fine on some pages, but when the main content stretches, it slides down the page with it - leaving a gap at the top of the menu. Example: home page is fine without content, but the local bands page has the problem. I gritted my teeth and added a clear.gif file at the end of the menu to help push things back to the top. It did work but I can't sleep at night thinking that is my fix. On the bands page, for instance, I have a huge .gif file at the end to help with the fill. I changed the number so you could see the gap at the top. I've also noticed that on Firefox my menu is fine, but on IE it stretches right. Thoughts? I've looked at this so many times before that I know I'm missing something. If anyone would have a chance to look at it and give suggestions - for a fix but not necessarily the site as it is still being worked on - I would very much appreciate it! If there is anything else that you need to see please let me know. http://sample.omahabars.com Thanks, Todd Todd Richards Omaha, NE USA The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.

RE: [wdvltalk] Help with web page
Hi Charles - Thanks for taking at look at this, and providing some feedback. That is the way it came out of the slice and I guess I wasn't thinking when I started putting everything together. I will look at it again tonight and change things around. Thanks for your samples and suggestions - they all made perfect sense! Todd -Original Message- From: Galatek Webmaster [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2005 9:40 AM To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com Subject: Re: [wdvltalk] Help with web page just from a brief look at the code, it looks like it has to do with how you declare the tables and rows, you print the menu cell after the content cells; the best way ( in my opinion ) would be to have the menu be a nested table inside the lefthand cell, and the body taking up the right hand cell - all on the same row definition ( hope that makes sense to you ). another alternative that has worked well for me cross - browser is using DHTML/CSS to position the elements; which would allow you to do the exact same layout without worrying about the menu moving with the text. ( ie ... header information with logo and etc TABLE WIDTH=810px etc TRTD DIV ID = MENU STYLE=position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; z-index: 1 menu information /DIV DIV ID = BODY STYLE=position: absolute; top: 0; left: 120px ( or whatever the width of your menu ); z-index: 1 ... body information /DIV /TD/TR /TABLE ) hope this helped in someway ( probalby easier to declare the classes in the main stylesheet ) Charles R King Todd Richards wrote: Hi Everyone - I'm having two particular problems with a site that I am doing.

[wdvltalk] JavaScript problem
Hey Guys -
I want to be able to have a different icon next to my link when you are on
that page. I have a javascript that I modified, but it is not working. I
had to modify the output for document.write to include my rollovers, and I
have a feeling that is where my problem is. Escaping quotes, etc. tend to
trip me up.
The original script included a links_url but I opted not to use that and
just used the links variable with the page extension (.asp) behind it,
hoping to keep it simpler (or not).
The original script said to insert script language=javascript
src=/includes/inc_nav.js/script where you need the menu to appear,
which is what I did. However, when I load the page I get no error, and no
menu. When I do a view source the call to the script (above) is there, but
nothing in terms of menu or images.
If anyone has any thoughts, or a better script to use, I would be forever
grateful.
Thanks,
Todd

RE: [wdvltalk] Multisite Hosting on IIS
I have a feeling that part of the problem is that you are trying to do it on Windows 2000 - not the Server edition - which will only let you host multiple virtual sites. Fine for some things but it sounds like your expectations might be a little high. Is this for testing purposes?

RE: [wdvltalk] Multisite Hosting on IIS
Yeah, if you want to host more than one site. Here is a link that shows the differences: http://www.iisfaq.com/Default.aspx?tabid=2596 I have IIS set up on my Windows XP Pro laptop so that I can test various sites that I'm working on. If you want to process scripts in ASP, etc., those files need to be run from the c:\inetpub\wwwroot folder. What I have done is copied my other site folders into the C:\inetpub folder, then change the name of that folder to wwwroot (rename the default one to MASTERwwwroot or something) when I want to work on a site. In other words, c:\inetpub\mysite becomes the new c:\inetpub\wwwroot when I want to work on it. Yeah, it's a pain but that is the only way that I've found to get around it. Not sure if that helps, or if that is even what you are trying to accomplish. Holler if you have other questions and I will do what I can to help!

RE: [wdvltalk] Browser compatibility issue
Hey Lionel -
Yes, I've been struggling with the same thing. The more I use CSS (which I
really prefer) the more quirks I see with IE. The thing I can say though is
that IE has been keeping me honest! Firefox knows what I want - IE makes
me tell it precisely!
Two quick things that I spotted that I would correct are:
- Where the text starts Welcome to CW Screenprinters Firefox has it
aligned to the left, but IE is inheriting your center from the table. You
will need to tell the td what you want, or specify a td { text-align:
left; } in your style sheet
- you wrap the welcome in h1 class=clist - I would eliminate the
class as you already have the h1 tag styled.
Start with that and let's see where things go!
Todd

Subject: [wdvltalk] Browser compatibility issue
Hi!
I'm working on a project in XHTML 1.1 Strict using external CSS stylesheets,
but I'm having a problem with compatibility with Internet Explorer (tested
version 6 SP 1), but everything seems fine with Mozilla Firefox. I
originally started designing the website with Mozilla Firefox as my browser,
now it looks like its working against me, can somebody tell me what I'm
doing wrong? Check out www.cwscreenprinters.com using both Internet Explorer
and Firefox and you'll know what I mean.
Please help!

[wdvltalk] Mobile devices
I'm curious as to how people are designing for mobile devices. Are you leaving it up to the CSS sheet, or are you creating a separate page for the mobile device? For instance, I am finishing up a site that will allow you to search for local businesses. I'm trying to decide if I should base everything on a style sheet, or create a special address - such as go.mydomain.com - and give them just the basic information. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

My site is designed in Photoshop, but I'm not seeing how to import a PSD into Flash in order to use my design and layers, etc. I've done this with Illustrator before, but I was under the impression that Flash 2004 could work with PSD.

My site is designed in Photoshop, but I'm not seeing how to import a PSD into Flash in order to use my design and layers, etc. I've done this with Illustrator before, but I was under the impression that Flash 2004 could work with PSD. Is this possible? Thanks! Todd Omaha, NE USA . The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM .

[wdvltalk] Most Popular Counter
I am looking to track hits to each venue page on my site, and I'm wondering what suggestions you might have for doing this. Programming specs are ASP, using SQL Server 2000. The idea is this: when someone visits a venue's page, the venue receives a hit. This cheap counter will then be displayed on each of the pages, such as Total visits: 919. Simple. However, the reason I want to do this is so that I can have an option on the search page for Most Visited (or Most Popular). This would then take the top 10 and display them back. Things to consider... I don't want someone refreshing the page to increase the hits, but I do want their visit to count if they come back a day later, for instance. So the thought of a cookie that expires came to mind. However, there is a chance that someone will arrive to a particular venue's page directly, via a send to friend link. So they might not get that cookie from another part of the website. Does anyone have any suggestions on this, or any links that might give some suggestions? Thanks for any help you can offer!

RE: [wdvltalk] OT: HELP! computer rebooting on it's own/Windows XP error deciphering?
All that it does is when Windows senses an error, it will automatically reboot your PC. IMHO it goes back to the old days when there was a problem you were told to reboot. Windows is doing it for you. I have read many places, and it has always been my practice as well, to uncheck this. It's not much fun when Windows decides to help you by rebooting, when you are right in the middle of something.

RE: [wdvltalk] OT: HELP! computer rebooting on it's own/Windows XP error deciphering?
Hi Deb - Sorry, I had to get on a flight yesterday after I posted and am just now getting back to email. In my experience, sometimes you get a screen with an error for the application with a problem. Other times you don't get anything. The point is that Windows doesn't do the rebooting for you. Yes, this can be helpful to just have Windows fix the problem with a reboot. However, as I mentioned before, it doesn't do me much good when I'm in the middle of a project and I have no warning at all about a reboot. If they really wanted it to be helpful they could pop-up and tell you that Windows needs to reboot so you should save everything and hit OK (or something to that degree). Until they do that, I will continue to uncheck this option. It sounds like you might have found the problem with ZA, so best of luck and you can keep this in mind in the future! :) Todd -Original Message- From: PBC Web Design [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 17, 2005 1:29 PM To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com Subject: RE: [wdvltalk] OT: HELP! computer rebooting on it's own/Windows XP error deciphering?

RE: [wdvltalk] OT Problem with WebCam
Peter - You can't do a reinstall with the CD - or a download from the Creative Labs website? I actually have 4 CL webcams and XP has had no problems with any of them. So I think the problem might just be with a driver that was on the original CD (not your fault). I would first check out Creative's download area for new software specific to your cam (http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/) Also check out the KB for others who have had this problem. I did a quick search in their forum and for someone else having a similar problem the suggestion was a) downloading the latest driver and b) making sure that the drivers for the motherboard were up to date (to cover chipset, USB, etc), as well as the BIOS. Hang in there!

RE: [wdvltalk] Question about image
On Nov. 14, Michael Collins wrote I would like to open a window the size of the new enlarged img. And have an X, or something, that you can click and close the page. Michael - This is what I've used and it works great for me. a href=URL TO PAGE WITH BIG IMAGE.html onClick=var w=window.open(this.href, 'gallery', 'toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=400,he ight=533'); w.focus(); return false;img src=THUMBNAIL.jpg border=0 //a Then just change the width and height to what you want it to open up to. If you have a lot of them, then you might be better off to call a function where you just pass the urls and dimensions. I have the focus(); on this because at one point I had a gallery set up for someone that opened the larger images in a new pop-up window when they clicked on the thumbnail. However, if the person didn't close that window and clicked on another image to view, then the pop-up got lost and they became frustrated. By doing it this way then the pop-up regains focus whether it was closed or not. Then on the page with big image, you can figure out where you want to have the Close Window button.

RE: [wdvltalk] FTP Problems
Hi Peter - I went through something similar about a month ago. A client was trying to connect to my FTP site, but it was not resolving. However, I was able to access it from several different PCs. Come to find out, it was the built-in firewall in XP. Just out of curiosity, I would disable his firewall and see if that lets him connect. Todd -Original Message- From: Peter MacGregor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 23, 2005 11:54 AM To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com Subject: [wdvltalk] FTP Problems I am tearing my hair out with this one! I have a page that I can upload to a client site. My machine runs WindowsXP and I use CuteFTP 7.0 for uploading. It is changed on a weekly basis and my client is happy to undertake the uploading himself to save having to send it to me and then perhaps wait a few days if I am away before it gets uploaded. The problem is, when we try to connect from his machine to the server, Cute comes back with the message Cannot resolve ftp..org.uk. I've deleted and set up the FTP data in Cute myself - several times and made sure the user name and password is correct.. I've taken a copy of his page on disk and uploaded it from my machine via Cute - no problem. Everything fine. Page displays OK. I've then taken a copy of both his version and one I've modified but also uploaded from my machine and tried to upload again from his machine - but get the same message from Cute! Anyone any clues. I don't believe it is the page (just trying to eliminate every possibility) as we don't get as far as making a connection, never mind upload the page! He is also running WindowsXP and bought CuteFTP 7.0 so everything was identical. He has a dial-up connection while I have broadband - they are the only differences. Any sane and sensible ideas - and even a few whacky ones at this stage! - very welcome. Thanks Peter MacGregor -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

It would allow you to setup a MySQL database that you can insert into from the registration/payment script and then authenticate against using HTTPS authentication. This means that you don't have to worry so much about wether people have cookies etc turned on. It also allows any scripts that interface with MySQL to interface with your site.

RE: [wdvltalk] OT: sharing a printer isn't working
Hi Deb - Just catching up on email and not sure how you are doing on this, so I thought I would follow up. If you... 1) Go to Start - Run - type in cmd (for command prompt) and type ping \\nameofdesktop, does it respond? If not, then you are not seeing it at all. If yes, then go to #2. 2) Open your Printers dialog, go to the address bar, and type in \\nameofdesktop. Does your shared printer show up? If so, can you right-click and choose Connect? If you connect, but the printer doesn't show up, then it's not being shared properly.

Hope someone here can help. I have a desktop and a laptop computer both running WinXP Home edition. I have one printer that I'd like both puters to be able to use to print with. I have a Linksys wireless router set up and the two puters share this connection for Internet just fine. But I can't get the laptop to use the printer. I get error messages every time I try ... something about not being able to connect or similar as I recall ... error msg text is found later in this post. I first set up a network connection when I had a firewire cable running from the laptop to the desktop. On the laptop I could only view the external hard drive and *not* my desktop hard drive. I don't know why because I had the fw cable plugged into the desktop and not the external drive. Well, I deleted that connection as I'm trying to do this wireless-ly. Maybe my problem is this ... must I have a wireless printer to make this work? I do have my desktop set up to share the printer. I did the networking thing on the desktop, made a floppy to set up the network on the laptop. Put that floppy in and double clicked the network.exe file (or whatever it was called) supposedly to network the two puters. I'm showing a wireless connection in my laptop tray as being in working order. From what I can tell with my limited knowledge this should be working but it's not. The printer does not show up in the printer selection window on the laptop so I cannot select my Canon printer to print to. Error message when I try to find the printer is: Windows cannot connect to the printer. Either the printer name was not typed correctly (I checked I'm typing in the right name) or the specified printer has lost it's connection to the server. For more info click HELP. Well, I don't have a server set up, just two computers so to me that last part makes no sense. What am I missing? I also need to understand something. I cannot see my desktop on my laptop even with the firewire cable connected. IF I can ever get this set up to work, am I not supposed to be able to access all programs/files that are on my desktop from my laptop so that I can work from my laptop via the desktop?

RE: [wdvltalk] OT: GRRRRR!!! shared folders are empty!
Deb - The changes you make should be almost instantaneous. If it isn't, then you have a super slow network connection. And for the record, I don't think I've ever rebooted after making such a change. I can't imagine that my company would be happy if I rebooted the server everytime I adjusted a shared folder. Maybe (and I say that with a BIG maybe) that might be different with XP Home, but I doubt it. Once you share a folder, by default you will also be sharing all of the folders within it. Of course, with some advanced knowledge you could tighten the permissions on these folders, but I wouldn't suggest doing that if you aren't sure what you are doing.

RE: [wdvltalk] OT: GRRRRR!!! shared folders are empty!
No, you don't have to reboot each time. What folder are you trying to share? Is it just a normal folder, or is it a system folder? Yes, if you are sharing a folder on the desktop, and add a file to that folder, you should see it on the laptop - instantly - if you are looking at THAT shared folder. No reboots needed. Also, what names are you giving your folders? For instance, if you are trying to share the entire C drive, then by default it names the share C$ (the $ means it is a hidden share). So you can't access it by going \\desktop\c, you would need to actually use \\desktop\c$. I would suggest not using spaces in the names of the shares, as that opens up the opportunity for typos, etc. Are you using this folder strictly for transferring files between the two computers? If so, start over. Create a brand new folder (maybe called Transfer) on one of the drives. Then use the options to share it. You should then be able to go to the other computer, type the name of the desktop - \\desktop - and see the shared folder as being available. Try this first. If you are not able to see it or are getting an error message typing just \\desktop, then there is a naming problem or a permissions problem. Just the other day, I had two transfer files between an old computer and a new one. So I set up a transfer folder on one machine and dropped all the files into it that I wanted on the new one. Then ran over to the new one and moved them over. It saved me so much time over trying to create disks, etc. Let us/me know - we will get you through this!!! :) Todd -Original Message- From: PBC Web Design [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2006 9:41 PM To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com Subject: Re: [wdvltalk] OT: GR!!! shared folders are empty!

RE: [wdvltalk] OT: GRRRRR!!! shared folders are empty!
Deb - The term mapping just means assigning a drive letter to a networked shared folder. It allows you to access it by using L:\Transfer instead of \\desktop\Transfer. So if you can't see those shared folders, mapping isn't going to get you any further. It really isn't smart to share out your entire C drive, so I'm with you on that. That being said, if it's your network, behind your firewall, and your data isn't highly classified then it's probably not that big of a deal. Don't worry about the whole $ thing - just wanted to bring it to your attention in case you were trying to share the entire C drive. I think starting over is a good idea. Where are you located at?

At 11:10 PM 3/16/2006, you wrote: No, you don't have to reboot each time. What folder are you trying to share? Is it just a normal folder, or is it a system folder? I don't think I've tried to share any system folders, some are just folders w/data in them that I've saved over time. I tried my Macromedia folder and a game folder. Also, what names are you giving your folders? For instance, if you are trying to share the entire C drive, then by default it names the share C$ (the $ means it is a hidden share). So you can't access it by going \\desktop\c, you would need to actually use \\desktop\c$. I would suggest not using spaces in the names of the shares, as that opens up the opportunity for typos, etc. I read somewhere in some link that was given to me that sharing the entire C drive is not smart, opens things up more for security issues and w/the way things are going I'm afraid to do the whole C drive anyway. I never saw any instructions for using the $ sign so that's something new. Having the entire desktop C drive available to me on my laptop would be GREAT and that's why I'm wondering if mapping isn't what I should be doing instead. Are you using this folder strictly for transferring files between the two computers? If so, start over. Create a brand new folder (maybe called Transfer) on one of the drives. Then use the options to share it. You should then be able to go to the other computer, type the name of the desktop - \\desktop - and see the shared folder as being available. Try this first. If you are not able to see it or are getting an error message typing just \\desktop, then there is a naming problem or a permissions problem. Ok. Just the other day, I had two transfer files between an old computer and a new one. So I set up a transfer folder on one machine and dropped all the files into it that I wanted on the new one. Then ran over to the new one and moved them over. It saved me so much time over trying to create disks, etc. Hey hey hey! No simple networking bragging allowed! No fair! Let us/me know - we will get you through this!!! :) Right now I'm trying a system restore on my desktop back to last week sometime and going to do my laptop next. Hopefully that will wipe out all the stuff I've done so I don't have to manually backtrack. My luck the System Restore won't take ...

RE: [wdvltalk] ASP question
David - I typically haven't had to provide mail server or a password, only in cases where I wanted to specifically use a certain mail server. Say you are hosting with provider a, and for whatever reason you don't want to use what they offer to send messages, you can then specify a mail server name to send the messages through a remote server. Depending on the security of that mail server, you may need to provide authentication information. If you need them, here are two great links that give more information on sending mail using CDO: http://www.w3schools.com/asp/asp_send_email.asp http://www.asp101.com/articles/john/cdosmtprelay/default.asp Fortunately for me, I have the luxury of running my own web server (and mail server) - so I almost always get my way! :) Todd -Original Message- From: David Blakey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 07, 2006 2:20 AM To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com Subject: RE: [wdvltalk] ASP question I haven't been following this, but some providers use ASPEmail or Jmail instead.

[wdvltalk] Desktop IIS tool
Hey Everyone! I came across this free utility today that let's you manage multiple websites through IIS on a non-server machine (Windows 2000 or XP Pro). I have come up with my own ways to get around this limitation, but it is a bit clumsy. I haven't personally tested it yet but wanted to let you know about it! http://jetstat.com/iisadmin/ Todd Todd Richards Omaha, NE [EMAIL PROTECTED] The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.

RE: [wdvltalk] clickTag -- Flash banner question
Hi Rita -
I'm not a Flash guru, but it has to do with them being able to track the
incoming traffic. I did a quick Google for clicktag and a few sites came
up that talked more about it. I think you will find more help there. From
what I have seen it looks like you are close but not quite there yet. The
Macromedia site (now Adobe) gave some examples.
Sorry I can't be of more help!

Subject: [wdvltalk] clickTag -- Flash banner question
I created a flash banner that just jumped to another site, and somebody
wrote me and asked me for a change to incorporate a clickTag
actionscript for ad tracking...
they wrote that I should substitute clickTag for the url:
on (release) {
getURL(clickTag, _blank);
}
I am unfamiliar with this. Right now, I have:
on (release) {getURL(http://www.url.com;, _blank);
}
I'm confused. I don't think they understand what they are telling me. How do
I get the click to jump to the site?
If anyone could help it would be GREATLY appreciated

RE: [wdvltalk] Tracking ad clicks
Well, I ran into this same problem of using ASP and looking for ad tracking. If you are on PHP there are a ton of them available, but not ASP! I finally resorted to using Absolute Banner Manager from Xigla (www.xigla.com/absolutebm/index.htm). Not free, but it seems to work pretty well. If you find other options please let me know!

[wdvltalk] Pages moved - Best way to handle?
Hi Gang - I built a site about a year and a half ago as an emergency - and favor - to the owner. It wasn't exactly what we wanted but it worked at the time. About a month ago, I rebuilt the site. The most significant change (other than cosmetics) was the location of the gallery. It moved from static pages located in /images/gallery/ to dynamic pages located in /gallery/. As you can imagine, a lot of the pages are cached. I have a custom 404 page that shoots me a message when someone hits the page. 99% of them are for the old gallery. Some are from legitimate surfers, some are from bots. Yes, I'm getting tired of all these messages. Other than removing the alert email from the 404 message, does anyone have any suggestions on the proper way to handle this? Is there anything I can/should do? Everything is running ASP on Windows 2003 running IIS 6. I also should note that I have full access to the domains DNS. I'm wondering if I can set up something that says anything for http://www.site.com/images/gallery/*; should just go to http://www.site.com/gallery/gallery.asp;? Thanks for any suggestions!

RE: [wdvltalk] Internet settings for different user accounts
Hi Riva - I'm sure if you want to spend the time, you can set up XP to block this for you. However, for a small amount you can use a program like NetNanny. I had a family who were having similar problems a few years ago (more with the content surfed for versus access in general). We installed the program and they were very happy with the results. You can get a trial on their website if you want to check it out.
