not sure about the web bot thing.

Red Squirrel - Jul-01-2005 server time
What's this --WEBBOT-SELF-- thing? Since you would need to put a php script there to process the login, and show the correct page if loging matches with an account in the database, or fixed varialbe if there's no accounts, but just a single login, like an admin panel

MikeDB - Jul-01-2005 server time

What am i doing wrong?

MikeDB - Jun-23-2005 server time
Hello???

Well i need help on ads.. What i mean is how can i switch from one ad to another?

MikeDB - Jun-20-2005 server time
ok i uploaded my site so if should work now just to show you guys what im talking about. (I know the look looks like ice teks but read the news before doing anything also the contact page does not work)

MikeDB - Jun-20-2005 server time
Ok no im stil confiuzed.

MikeDB - Jun-20-2005 server time
ok thanks

Red Squirrel - Jun-20-2005 server time
I'd put it seperately, and just put an iframe on your page to link to it, you'll want to edit the php code to some extent though, such as making it authenticate with the logged in user.

MikeDB - Jun-20-2005 server time
So do i just put this in with my html? Lol im having a bad day today can you just tell me how it gods name do i set this up?

Red Squirrel - Jun-20-2005 server time
Ok here's the source code of the shoutbox here.

Beware: old code. em320.gif

Easiest way would be to just put it in a iframe like I did, so the whole page does not have to reload when you submit.

MikeDB - Jun-20-2005 server time
hmmm... And how would i go about making one of these?

you now what i will attach my index.html and you can see what im trying to do if you could could you just code one into it for me? lol. i'll put down shoubox coded by <who ever coded it name>

Red Squirrel - Jun-20-2005 server time
Yeah any scripts you don't want others to see must be server side.

A shoutbox is basically a mini forum thread, the on here is actually a single plain text file.

MikeDB - Jun-19-2005 server time
Thanks now what about a shoutbox?

Streety - Jun-19-2005 server time
The DHTML wouldn't be secure though would it? Presumably you are still sending your private content to the browser your script is just not displaying it. Anyone familiar with html / javascript would just be able to look at your page source and see your private content. Even if the javascript only loads the content for authorised users the link to that content would need to be in the javascript code and once found anyone could download the link directly as it would need to be accessible to the internet.

I suppose with text content there are some options to encrypt it but it'll be fairly weak and you'll need to supply a decryption function so that your authorised users can see the content. I doubt it would be too difficult to to extract that function and then for anyone to use it.

is there really sounds on my site? Welll whatever... I need to know how to make a login feature (example: Username _____________ Password _____________)

you can use dhtml or xhtml..

they have them at
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/

that will go to a slideshow page but you can search the site when you get there.

lots of cool codes there.

you can also use a javascript to popup a prompt box but that is not too secure,

just more or less an annoyance to the vistitors. unsure.gif

rovingcowboy - Jun-19-2005 server time
why thank you i always strive to be perfect in every way. how ever there is always this thing that seems to get in my way?

oh yepper that is what it is?

my mind?

dancingbanada.gif xyxthumbs.gif yodude.gif stir_pot.gif

glad you liked the code it is not mine i got it from someone else then of course like everybody does? i changed it to make it look like i wanted too.

the one i got was 47 pixels high and that shows part of the video window of the wmp and i thought that was junky looking so i made it 45 pixels high. xyxthumbs.gif

Streety - Jun-18-2005 server time

You'll just need a seperate box to act as server. I recomend debian but it can be done in windows too. get php, mysql and apache setup. not the easiest thing to do when it's your first time though, took me months to get it the first time. but once you have it, you're good to work with php scripts. You can also buy a hosting package and test online, though it's more convinient with a home server as you can setup a shared drive, hit save, then refresh, rather then have to upload via ftp every time.

You could also get VMware and setup the server in a virtual machine running on the same PC.

it is far better to use the embed tag
CODE
<embed scr= "">  

<embed> has never been part of a W3C recommendation. Those wanting to have standard pages should use <object> instead. <object> can do <embed>’s job and more, but the latter is unfortunately supported by more browsers. For those who aren’t aiming for 100% standard pages, I would suggest placing an <embed> within an <object> to cover the most browsers possible.

Mikwiththestick, if you have a Web site, I highly suggest learning about HTML and his lovers. It will come in handy, and it’s a great way to pass time! A good place to start out is W3Schools. Of course, the appropriate W3C Recommendations are helpful as well. smile.gif

Where is the updated Web site? smile.gif

sorry i was reading threw it really fast. I really dont need it because even tho my dad now lives half way across the country he still e-mails me with a lot of html and tells me to read it over and stick it in there like this thingy here.

CODE
<HTML>



<HEAD>

<TITLE>My Home Page</TITLE>



</HEAD>



<script language="VBScript">



sub WriteText

TestField.Value = "Da Test"

End Sub



Function GoToPage(s)

     window.location.href = s

  End Function





</SCRIPT>





<BODY bgcolor="#D4D0C8">











<input type="text" name="TestField"  value="" size="60"/><br />





<input type="button" onclick="WriteText" value="Write some text to a text box"><br /><br />



<input type="button" value="Google" onclick="GoToPage('http://www.google.com')"><br /><br />



<a href="http://www.google.com">This is a short cut to Google</a><br /><br />



<input type="button" value="Link to HTML Tags" onclick="GoToPage('http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_reference.asp')"><br /><br />



</body>

</html>



So i basicly have a cheat sheet. tongue.gif

MikeDB - Jun-18-2005 server time
well i already have one...
How much stuff for php do i need to download?

Red Squirrel - Jun-18-2005 server time
np. If you have any questions let me know. smile.gif

MikeDB - Jun-18-2005 server time
ok thanks.

Red Squirrel - Jun-18-2005 server time
I'd start with the intro one, as it puts the most essense on using POST forms and such.

MikeDB - Jun-18-2005 server time
what one should i read?

Red Squirrel - Jun-18-2005 server time
In the article section.

MikeDB - Jun-18-2005 server time
where can i find the tutorials?

MikeDB - Jun-18-2005 server time
ok thanks.
I memorized some C++ or at least i think it is.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
printf("Hello, world\n");

return 0;
}

Red Squirrel - Jun-17-2005 server time
Check out the php tutorials on here, they should help you get started on making a basic login system.

MikeDB - Jun-17-2005 server time
ok i know what your talking about scared.gif so where can i get it? or would i have to make it all on my own?

Red Squirrel - Jun-16-2005 server time
For login you'll need to use some scripting, like php (recommended) or asp.

MikeDB - Jun-15-2005 server time

by fixing the structure he means to make an index.html page and put your links on it that way nobody can see anything but your index.html page

no no now streety what you ment to say was

dancingbanada.gif stir_pot.gif

Streety - Jun-11-2005 server time
There is no index page so it's possible to see the directory structure which you may want to get fixed.

Am I meant to be able to access this?

http://members.shaw.ca/mike-db/_private/form_results.txt

I suspect not.

As for the background music please don't do it in anyway. If you absolutely HAVE to do it though use the IE only tags, that way i'll be able to ignore it in firefox.

Should you use frontpage? Well I suppose it is up to you, personally I write all my html myself, I don't use any WYSIWYG editors. It's more difficult in that you actually have to understand what you're doing but you have finer control over the output and your pages load faster (maybe not important for you but will be for some of your visitors).

rovingcowboy - Jun-11-2005 server time
yep your site will work with front page but be warned.

front page will add in things that ms thought should be in your html code that were not selected by the internet governing body as normal html code.

so you have in your html code lots of things that other browers don't know so they either send an error alert or forget the code and ingor it all together.

like adding background music. or sound.

ms uses the tag
CODE
<background sound= "">
only ie or possible ie knock off browers will see that.

it is far better to use the embed tag
CODE
<embed scr= "">  


if you use front page i suggest going to the site for first page 2000 and getting that program it is an html text editor not a wysiwyg one. but it will clean up your code for you.

also if you get 1st page 2000 remember they add in free javascripts, when you get it. there is one for a fake virus so your av program will send alert warning just ignor the alert, download the program install the program then go to the folder you put it in and look for its folder of free javascripts, then delete the fake virus script the av program wont alert you anymore.

good luck. xyxthumbs.gif

MikeDB - Jun-10-2005 server time
it does not matter really for me because im not the one who handles the money its my parents and my site seems to be doing just fine em320.gif

Red Squirrel - Jun-10-2005 server time
Avoid frontpage at all cost, if you want to use a wysiwyg try dream weaver. Front page is the oposite, it will weave your page into a nightmare. Look at the source code of some of the older articles here compared to the newer ones, the older ones are made in front page.

MikeDB - Jun-10-2005 server time

With a quick Google search, I found this. smile.gif

I wish your Web site the best. smile.gif

MikeDB - May-17-2005 server time
