 | When I hit the BACK button on my browser after posting, the following sometimes happens: - The posting window and the completed post appear multiple times as I keep hitting BACK. - The browser closes and I am on the Windows Desktop. I don't come to the page containing the … |
| | You do not have the RIGHT to mess with my computer. It happens to be the CRIME of computer tampering if you try to. That browser and media player are installed on MY computer, not yours. The settings I make apply to how they behave, and you have absolutely no … |
| | This is a problem with a browser setting, not the code. |
| | 100 percent of WHAT???? I don't know! I'm just a browser. But he's on third. Web pages don't come in standard heights, and neither do browser windows. Computers with different screen resolutions will have different maximum visible heights (in pixels), and the browser can't know what you mean by 100 … |
| | You have some capitalized style properties. That's a no-no. IE messes up, interpreting them anyway, though it is not supposed to. Firefox follows the W3C standard and makes styles case-sensitive. Thus, Firefox does not recognize the captitalized style properties. |
| | Capitalizing DISPLAY is the problem. CSS is case-sensitive, and display is a lowercase property. IE is the one messing up, because it is treating it as case-insensitive. All of your tags and properties should be lowercase. |
| | Re: Rotating Text You aren't going to sell anything by annoying the prospective customer to death with moving gee-whizzes flying all over the screen. Give me a simple screen with no moving stuff, no text on top of images, and no popups, and I am much more likely to read the whole screen. …  |
| | Html has several tag pairs tags for this purpose: code, kbd, pre, samp, tt, var code is an inline pair of tags used to show computer code kbd i an inline pairs used to represent keyboard input. [code] <kbd>C:> diskcopy a: b:</kbd> [/code] pre is for preformatted text. It is …  |
| | I can't even read your code, let alone understand it. Try using well-formed indenting. And put the code in a code box. But I have a theory that all of the font tags are messing up the sort. Take them out and get it working first. One other hint: Don't … |
| | I had this problem elsewhere. The problem was the way I grabbed the code from the editor to put it on the website. The editor had a single code which says "line number goes here" The actual number displayed for the line depended on where it was in the file. … |
| | The problem is not your code, but the printer settings on the browser. Mine has the following check boxes (under file/print setup): shrink page to fit print background portrait/landscape It also has settings for margins and titles. |
 | Re: Moving iFrames It has been my experience that, since different browsers render objects differently, that it is impossible to do what you are trying to do and have it render correctly on all browsers. The usual causes of the problem are: - Some browsers include the borders, margins, and padding in the … |
| | in the td tag, you can specify: [code] <td align="char"> [/code] If you don't also specify [inlinecode]char="#"[/inlinecode] (where # is the character you choose), guess what character it uses to align the columns. The DECIMAL POINT! Just what you need. |
| | You are forgetting that, once a user finds a web page, he can find any other file in the same folder using simple methods. He can also find subfolders. I have a page which is not linked to from anywhere else, except that my browser starts with it (to save … |
| | I see several errors: 1. The style tags go in the head part of the code, not the body. Your invalid use may be confusing browsers. 2. Something is very wrong with the second line in the code section. The quotes are mismatched. In addition, the div method of making … |
| | It's super-simple when you know how: Every time you change to a new screen, you open a different html page. Each one of the subgalleries is a separate html document with its own filename. Each individual image page is a separate html document with its own filename. Each html document … |
| | . . . . . A computer can't run any code until the code actually exists on that computer's hard disk. That's what the download does. The ability of a computer to control another computer in this manner is the way viruses spread. Operating systems should have never been made … |
| | Re: Desktop Icon "Vote now. The plan of Icron, or the plan of Tillamar?" You don't need a reformat. At most, you need a reinstall of either Windows or some application programs. Something messed up the registry. On each icon which is wrong, right mouse the icon, and select properties. Then click change … |
| | Re: downloader-AFH If it keeps coming back after the scans show it is gone, a web page you are using is putting it back. |
 | |
| | Re: all media I can think of several reasons: 1. The file you are trying to play is corrupted. Try playing a different file. 2. The sound driver is not installed, or is the wrong driver for the hardware. 3. Some other piece of software has grabbed the sound output device and won't … |
| | Two possibilities come to mind: 1. Your ISP is not set up to handle it. 2. You have to upgrade to a higher account price to use it. |
| | If the battery died or something clobbered the CMOS ram, the computer has forgotten the hard disk type, and possibly the floppy disk types (especially if a 1.2MB drive is installed). If you can get into the CMOS and BIOS setup menu, you have to re-enter the info on everything … |
 | That foldername is reserved by Windows. It automatically empties itself when you close the browser. But you can easily get around the need for the web files to be in that directory, unless they have scripts. First, have you tried the "save page as" selection when you right mouse on … |
| | How is it supposed to know which word to add? Does it always add the same word when it finds a particular word? Or is the same word always added in the same place in the file? Are the words to be added add in a list? If you always … |
 | [quote=Ancient Dragon;306427]Of course -- for the right price. Bill Gates would probably sell Microsoft too if the price was right. Shoot -- I would even sell my mother-in-law for $$$ if you want her :mrgreen:[/quote] I don't think he would. I thinkl he loves to drive people crazy when their …  |
| | The whole problem is that they won't keep things compatible. We HAD a system where most web code was compatible. But then the elitists pounced, and decided that web code had to be more "elegant." Now we have a bifurcation between the newest browsers and the old ones. There should … |
| | This malware may have changed the settings of the display driver somehow. The computer might think it has a special laptop screen or something like that. It may have also altered the registry or the Windows code to install itself, redirecting the part which normally loads the background to instead … |
| | It's possible that the fact that you once used a floppy drive there caused Windows to query the drive "is disk loaded?" Of course, since it has no removable disk, the stick didn't know how to answer the query. Go into the device driver menu in Control Panel and check … |
| | Don't expect miracles. If the environmental noise is as loud as or louder than the desired sound, you aren't going to get rid of it. I want to know how it is that every time someone tries to take a "man on the street" interview, the worst of all noises … |
| | We would have very little malware if Windows hadn't been written to allow advertising. Microsoft made Windows more complicated so nobody can come up with a competing byt compatible operating system. |
| | The removal of the program seems to have removed part of Windows. A reinstall is in order. |
| | It sounds like the screensaver wasn't coded right. |
| | Re: Slow startup/lag Sounds like you have some stuff running which should not be running. - Check for malware and spyware. - Do you have more than one virus blocker, or more than one spyware blocker running simultaneously? That munches a LOT of time, because the blockers keep checking on each other. - … |
| | Re: Html Woes I think that indicates that you are trying to use code which myspace prohibits. Check the rules. |
 | The problem is that you can't have other container tags inside anchor (a) tags. Put the divs outside the anchors. [code] <div class="stuff"> <a href="pootwattle.htm">Feitlebaum's wins</a> </div> [/code] Actually, this is a place where tables work better than divs. |
| | The problem is that IE does things differently than other browsers. If the page displays correctly on IE, it usually glumps up on other browsers. If it works on other browsers, it does something weird on IE. As an example, the width style is supposed to include the padding and …  |
| | There are several possibilities: 1. They changed the site to include something your security settings disallow. 2. Your particular section of the site was down. 3. You have bookmarked a page other than the home page, and they changed the url for that page (often happens when a site upgrades … |
| | Try reinstalling the program. The program is trying to access memory it does not own. |
 | Normally you have to explicitly make a slave hard disk bootable before it can be used as a master drive. You have not written the boot sector on the hard disk yet. |
| | IE doesn't follow the standards for browser response to certain tags or CSS attributes. For example, the width attribute is supposed to include any margins, borders, and padding, so the entire size of the object and its accessories fits inside the width. IE puts these attachments outside the width, making … |
| | What SOFTWARE are you using to receive the video? IEEEE 1284 is a parallel interface, but IEEE 1394 is a serial firewire bus. There are two kinds of fire wire, firewire 1 and firewire 2. Firewire 2 is much faster. Firewire 2 cards can do firewire 1, but firewire 1 … |
| | An IRQ error usually means a PC card is unseated, a drive connector is loose, or two devices are fighting over the bus. It is not a hard disk problem (unless the controlle cardr has failed or the cable is loose). |
 | First, I would reinstall the offending player. It may not be closing properly. Next, I would check to see if some software is usiing a sound event wrong. It could be that a custom sound file was used, and is corrupt. Finally, check what is open in the system tray … |
| | Some ISPs require SP2 for security reasons. |
| | I had that problem, and had a bad link in the allocation table that crosslinked two files on the hard disk. I ran the disk checker from Windows Explorer: [+] My Computer / (rightmouse) Local Disk C / Properties / Tools / Error Checking. It separated the two files, copying … |
| | 3 places to check: 1. Dumb question, but do you have speakers attached? I bought a used computer, and ran it for two days before I realized I didn't get any speakers with it. 2. Volume Control (found in Start / Programs / Accessories / Entertainment). It's a small screen … |
| | Give it an attention-getting swift kick: Boot with the USB keyboard unplugged, then plug it in when the login screen appears. This gives Plug-n-play a whack, and it will recognize the keyboard for one boot. If you get control, go into Control Panel/ Keyboard/Hardware and change the setting. You would … |
| | Several possibilities: 1. The vertical scroll bar appeared when enough of the paged loaded to make it longer than the screen, and it knocked objects around or shortened line lengths (causing text to wrap). 2. An image finished loading, and it is larger or smaller than the initial space the … |
The End.
