    How To Decide when to use a loop

    I'm writing an informal test on programming basics on Monday (18 May), and I need to know (but can't find anything) how do you decide when to use what type of loop? How do you decide you need a for..next loop, or a for each..next, or a while...wend loop? I've always just thought "OK, I...

    Save User Input in a DB

    You can't do this using the Registration Control. That ties in to the site's administration. Sad I know :( You need to create custom forms... I have posted a number of entries on doing this in my blog using Visual Basic. Almost every post in the .NET category so far deals with user login and...

    How to enhance my PHP development skill and also start learning .NET to get into it?

    There's plenty of PHP tutorials out there, Sams Learn PHP, Apache, and MySQL In 24 Hours is pretty good, I just never stayed awake long enough to get all the way through it. I find .NET much more stimulating. For learning .NET, you'll have to decide what language you want to develop in. There's...

    Frames, iFrames, graybox, and _blank

    Generally, a standard hyperlink to the external page is the accepted norm and when this is used, the link's text is set to the name of the external site. This informs the users that when they click on the link, they're going to be taken to an external site. If you want to allow users to view...

    How to display an external URL while retaining menus and headings

    I think you're going to have to explain that better, I'm not sure, but it sounds like you want to display the user's ip address dynamically on the page in a "Your IP Address is: xxx.xxx.x.xx" format.

    IE Styling Problem(s)

    Viewing the page in both IE7 and Google Chrome, the only difference I notice is that I'm able to scroll horizontally in Chrome. You're not very specific as to what the problem is, and since you indicate that the problem only occurs in IE, I can't be sure. You can easily eliminate the user's...

    Dropdown CSS Menu - IE woes

    I see what your problem is, but I since I don't have behavior file or the javascript, I can't tell you what's causing it. I do notice, however, that your stylesheet sets style attributes to the list on the 2nd level, but the display property there is set to none. That looks a little funny to...

    Odd Table Problem...

    Unfortunately, I can't see the problem either, but I do know a quick fix that you can use until you find it. add a style to the main table on the Job Openings page only. Straight into the HTML is fine, there's no need to go to all the trouble to create a new class for it since it's only supposed...

    gidday just looking for some answers please

    In your css, add a background: transparent url('pathtobackground'); to your body[B] class. Also, I'd recommend setting [B]padding: 0 !important; and [B]margin: 0 !important[B] to your body class aswell. As for the image, the only reason it'll show up with a red x in IE is because IE can't find...

    Disable text/image highlighting

    Just set your css like this: a { color: #0000ff; text-decoration: none; } a:hover { color: #0000ff; text-decoration: none; } The link will still work, but it won't change when you mouseover it, you can set the same for a:active, and a:visited to complete the effect. Personally, I find it's...

    Help Please! Some problems with layers

    This is why I stopped using Frontpage. The Preview mode is useless and it writes TONS of junk code that you don't need... I would suggest you look over your css and increase your left margin on your menu a little (maybe). Without code to look at, it's hard to tell what the problem is. Also, if...

    Website Form Fields Appear on Click - HELP!

    First, place your form fields in a container (usually a div tag) that has the CSS display property set to none. This will have the form fields hidden when the page loads. Next, you're going to need to write a javascript function that shows the fields and tie it into your link's onClick event...

    Web Page Design Question

    Photoshop does it really easily. The way I've done it is to set the background colour for my site, I normally use a hexa code (e.g. #ffffff for white). Lets say I want the area where my content lives to be 800px wide. In Photoshop, create an image that's roughly 1000px X 10px (W x H) that has a...

    member login and registration function

    There's no quick way of doing this, there's a lot to do, and, fortunately for you, I've touched on this subject in my blog: Data Driven Login System The code is in Visual Basic. There's also a bit of SQL in there (to connect to, and read from the database). Basically all that's being done...
