Is Mozilla the best browser???

justin.Hall — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 06:46:19 GMT

Hi guys,
Can anyone tell me what is the main deference between IE and Mozilla Firefox ? I have been using IE (version 6.0) for one year but from now on I have decided to use Firefox. I just want to know as to what Mozilla can do which Internet Explorer can not.
Thanks!

Permanent Redirect

cma — Tue, 25 Dec 2007 17:02:51 GMT

I recently read this report from websitegrader.com about my website, www.vintagetextile.com

"Permanent Redirect Not Found
Search engines often regard www.vintagetextile.com and vintagetextile.com as two different websites unless you take specific measures to signal to them that they are the same site. The best way to handle this situation is to setup a permanent redirect (or a "301" redirect) from one of these sites to the other. This way, any links that are pointing to the secondary site benefit the primary site, from an SEO perspective.

We could not detect a permanent redirect for this site, so it may be experiencing the negative effects of link fragmentation (some of the inbound links may point to www.vintagetextile.com and others to vintagetextile.com) For example, www.vintagetextile.com seems to have 4,926 inbound links whereas vintagetextile.com has 5,353 inbound links. By correctly configuring a permanent 301 redirect, the search rankings might improve as all inbound links are correctly counted for the website."

Does anyone know how to to do this permaent redirect correctly or does anyone have a web reference, e.g., forum, on how to do this?

Thanks, CMA

How to make RSS subscribe page with XML?

toplisek — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 05:54:55 GMT

I enclose just sample. I would like to make it on the right Subscribe Now! section and under this
news. I have currently XML.

The webpage should be automatically updated on-the-fly and easily spidered by search engine robots. This script will allow me to create webpages that will always display the most current information from my rss feed (XML), and because the resulting page is pure HTML, it will be in a format friendly to search engine robots.

1. how to make page that there will be many links to subscribe like:
Choose your reader:...(Insert the url of the news feed )
2. The information in the feed will be updated when the feed contains new content.
3. PHP script for dynamically displaying rss feeds as HTML.
4. redirect the old feed URL to FeedBurner

Within .htaccess.:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedBurner
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/atom\.xml$ http://feeds2.feedburner.com/bgv/$1 [R=301,L]

Using newsgator "clippings" to populate my own blog

jquijano — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 08:27:04 GMT

I am a newsgator addict. I pull in tons of rss feeds and spend my time emailing links to friends and family who might find a particular article interesting. I set up my "clippings" as its own feed however if these people could subscribe to a feed they wouldnt need me anyway. So i want to setup a website/blog whatever that will allow me to pull in the articles in my clippings and preferably have a way to add my own blurb about the article. I dont plan on adding any "original content" other then a few paragraphs at most to establish my reason for clipping the article. I tried to do this with squarespace but the formating was all screwy so i let my trial account on the service expire. any suggestions appreciated

Setting a class selector

cma — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 13:54:52 GMT

I have code like this in my category pages:http://www.vintagetextile.com/edwardian.htm

<tr class="row2"&glt;<td&glt;</td&glt;
<td&glt;<a href="new_page_734.htm"&glt;<img src="images/Thumbnails/4066thumb2.jpg" alt="Irish lace blouse" width="209" height="325"&glt;</a&glt;</td&glt;
<td class="details"&glt;
<p&glt; <b&glt;#4066 $750</b&glt;</p&glt;
<p&glt;<a href="new_page_734.htm"&glt;Irish crochet lace blouse, c.1900.</a&glt; The all-over pattern of small roses is accentuated around the neckline and collar with large motifs. The blouse closes in back with snaps. The crochet ball buttons
are decorative only. The three-dimensional raised work characteristic of Irish crochet is amazing. <span class="bi"&glt;Wearable, washable, and beautiful</span&glt;! NEW LISTING </p&glt;</td&glt;</tr&glt;

I want the link around "Irish crochet lace blouse..." to be styles with a declaration block like this:
:link{color:#00f;background-color:#fff;text-decoration:underline}

It would be easy enough to do this by assigning a special class applied to each such anchor link, but that is so laborious and prone to error.

What I want is the correct selector for my style sheet, a selector that will automatically apply the declaration to anchor links inside rows of class "row2", which contains a <td&glt; of class "details", which contains an anchor link.

I have tried various combinations for the selector, like

a.row2.details.p:link{color:#00f;background-color:#fff;text-decoration:underline}

but have been unable to get anything to work.

Any ideas for the right selector?
Thanks, CMA

BBC and iGoogle - what's the code?

treebeard — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 15:35:04 GMT

I'm just curious on this, but as the BBC has launched its new homepage that looks very like iGoogle....
Anyone know how these work? The drag and drop ability looks useful, but I can't make out whether its some hybrid of dhtml or ajax, or something else...

Here is an idea I saw online to implement the design with divs instead of a table. I can't quite get the selectors to match up with the code.

All the jpegs are 209 px wide. In the odd rows, use this style to position the jpeg in the first "column": width 418px; float:left; margin-right:-418px;clear:left;

The third "column" text would be styled: clear:none;float:left;margin-left:418px;display:inline;

In the even rows, use this style to position the jpeg in the second "column": margin-left:209px;

Assuming this is the right idea, how would I match up the selectors and the classes in the markup?

Incorrect page source in Firefox

cma — Fri, 16 Jun 2006 08:04:58 GMT

I changed some metatags in my home page and uploaded the changes to my website. I am working over a network: the index.html page is on the main computer.
After I made the changes to index.html and uploaded them, the changes to source code look correct when the Homepage source code is view online from the main computer, using any browser.

However, from my computer, when the source code of the Homepage is viewed online using Firefox, the changes to metatags are not shown. But viewing source code with IE online from my computer, the changes in the metatags correctly show up.

So there is some glitch in FF, where it seems to be viewing a previous version of the file on my computer, even though I have repeated cleared the cache. Any ideas?

Non-copyable text

cma — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 08:04:34 GMT

I find that the original material on my website is often quickly copied verbatim by competitors. Is there a way to code my text to make copying difficult or impossible or does this involve complex Javascript?
In this context, I came across this page
http://www.style.com/trends/classic/080605
where the text starting with "the day dress" cannot be copied?

Cellspacing

cma — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 20:01:24 GMT

I have a few tables on my site, e.g., at http://www.vintagetextile.com/edwardian.htm

I have always used this markup: table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="itemtable" summary="1920s vintage clothing"

Is it possible, and if so, would it be better to accomplish the "0" cellspacing and "0" cellpadding via CSS as opposed to using table attributes?

For cellspacing, perhaps I could use the style "border-collapse:collapse;" though I don't know what's available for the cellpadding.

Applying a list-style-type

cma — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 14:53:45 GMT

On this page on my website http://www.vintagetextile.com/order.htm
the list items should have a disk as a marker. I tried this rule:
li.dk{list-style-type:disc;} but could not figure out what selector to apply and how to apply it to the list items.
Firefox applies an acceptable default marker, but in IE, the marker is weird, so I need to explicitly declare a rule for the marker's list-style-type.

Here is the markup of the first list item in the table:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" summary="condition">
<tr> <td width="696">
<ul><li class="dk">The focus of this collection is to present items of superb design in the best possible condition for the discerning collector. Please note that even when the item is marked "mint," it is still old and, therefore, is more fragile than a new item.</li>

New RSS Filtering Script

notepage — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 14:02:33 GMT

NotePage, Inc. is pleased to announce the addition of RSSFilter to their popular RSS scripts directory.

RSSFilter is a PHP script that filters the contents of an RSS feed. The filters can be defined by the publisher so that the resulting RSS feed contains only the information they want. RSSFilter uses rules to filter the items that are included from a feed in the resulting feed.

RSSFilter is designed to be able to be used in conjunction with other RSS Scripts to provide additional RSS solutions. For example RSSFilter can be used with RSSmesh, so that mulitple feeds can be filtered and then merged into a single RSS feed.

When using the RSSFilter script, the publisher can control the data filtered by defining rules. The allowed rules are currently: contains, does not contain, equal with, not equal with, begins with, does not begin with, ends with, does not end with, is empty, is not empty, alphabetically before, alphabetically after, before date, before or on date, on date, after date, after or on date, before time or after time.

RSSFilter supports RSS 2.0, 1.0, 0.9, 0.91, 0.92 and Atom 1.0, 0.3 feeds. RSSFilter also supports all of the RSS 2.0 item elements, as well as the elements in the iTunes(R), TrackBack and Dublin Core namespace extensions. These additional namespaces can also be filtered.

The RSSFilter script joins seven existing scripts in FeedForAll's RSS Scripts directory. Access to the scripts directory is freely available to all registered users of FeedForAll and FeedForAll Mac, or a subscription to the scripts directory can be purchased for $ 29.95. A subscription grants users access to all of the RSS scripts, which can be used to publish and manipulate RSS feeds. Current scripts contained in the directory include RSS Cache, FutureRSS, RSS2HTML, RSS2HTML Pro, RSS2SQL, SQL2RSS, RSSmesh, and now RSSFilter.

The RSS Cache script module expedites the retrieval and conversion of RSS feeds into html web pages. The FutureRSS script enables webmasters to prepare content for their RSS feeds in advance, and have it automatically appear at the desired date and time. The RSSmesh script allows for multiple RSS feeds to be merged into a single RSS feed. The SQL2RSS scripts allows users to generate RSS feeds from MySQL databases. The RSS2SQL script converts RSS feeds to a database, and the RSS2HTML Pro allows for advance manipulation and display of RSS feeds as HTML webpages.

All of the scripts dynamically manipulate the RSS feeds in realtime, so no periodic maintenance is required.

Additional details related to the RSSFilter can be found at: http://www.feedforall.com/rssfilter.htm

Universal class selector

cma — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 11:53:15 GMT

Eric Meyer distinguishes between these two selectors

*.class-name{font-weight:bold} and .class-name{

I have always used only the latter.

He says to use the former to apply the style to "every element that carries the 'class-name' attribute with the assigned value" and use the latter "where you only want to select all elements that share 'class-name', in which case you may omit the *."

I'm not sure the difference between the two selectors, though my guess is that where the * is used, the class-name applies not only to that class-name, but also only for that style assigned to class-name, but that's just my guess.

What is the correct contextual selector?

cma — Thu, 29 Mar 2007 19:05:10 GMT

I have a large table with the id of "itemtable" like this:
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="itemtable" summary="Main content">

The cells have a class of "details" like this:
<td class="details">
<p><b>#2135 $1,100</b></p>
<p>Silk lace/satin dress, c.1920. This superb dress captures the <span class="bi">unstructured
elegance of the early 1920s</span>. The earthy tones of cocoa and deep olive in the lace are perfectly
complemented by the gold slip, which gives the dress a lovely mellow glow. A lookalike to the
"<a class=bd href="new_page_255.htm#hope">Hope dress</a>." NEW LISTING</p></td></tr>
<tr class="row1"><td><a href="new_page_175.htm"><img src="images/Thumbnails/9364thumb2c.jpg" alt="1920s lace bolero" width="209" height="325"></a></td>

I want to be able to style an anchor link like the one for "Hope dress". The anchor is within a table with the id "itemtable" and within a cell with the class "details". I gave the anchor an additional class of "bd" but that doesn't do it.

The style sheet does have selectors for anchor links outside the table like this:
a:link{color:#000;background-color:#fff;text-decoration:none;}
a:visited{color:#8B0000;background-color:#fff;text-decoration:none;}
a:link:hover,a:link:active{color:red;background-color:#fff;text-decoration:none;}

But these are irrelevant to my purpose. For the anchor links within the table cells, I want the same styles as above with the exception of a:link{color:blue;

You can see the page live here as the 4th one down (#2135) on this page:
http://www.vintagetextile.com/1920s.htm

As you can see, the Hope link has color:#8B0000; so it may be picking it up from the anchor styles outside the table, but that's just a guess.

Thanks in advance for your help, CMA-

positioning on a horizontal background

Tim Steele — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 13:34:47 GMT

I've recently been trying to make a website with a horizontal layout. I've got the background image working okay using repeat-x, but the images, vertical nav bar and textarea will not stay centrally positioned on a 800x600 window.

The layout is very simple. The site is currently online using tables and no css (diamondbooks.org.uk/background.htm). I want to create this same look using css. However, even using percentage for positioning has not corrected the problem.

I'd value some advice since I am only a beginner.

With all due respect to Google ,I don't know why google is giving such a low rating to such a world class web designing site. I certainly gonna miss a lot if I doesn't opt for MSN in time. The [url=www.webdesigningcompany.net]www.webdesigningcompany.net[/url] have a lot of creative segments regarding web designing which certainly will add spice to your to your web materials .Frankly I don't know any other web designing company that better and that precisely.

RSS 100-Getting started with a RSS feed

winklerb — Sat, 30 Dec 2006 16:55:29 GMT

I recently installed and registered FeedDemon 2.1. The Newsgator feeds work just fine.

My goal is to write RSS feeds which are posted on my website, (or some client websites) which can be validated and fed to Newsgator. No issue with writing XML files suitable for feeds, nor adding RSS validated feeds from websites which have valid RSS files to my NewsGator account.
My question is can someone provide a good source of information so I can start to understand how to take an XML text file and parse it so it can be validated as a suitable RSS feed and then picked up as a feed when I add that web address to my Newsgator directories?
Thanks for any guidance on this.

It's highly likely that this has been addressed in earlier Forum issues, so a little direction to that discussion would be just as useful.

Unordered list problem

anotherhoward — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 14:53:07 GMT

My unordered list is at http://www.mettapress.com/Hover_code-3.html.

When viewed in IE7, it displays perfectly even though I did not set a right padding for the rightmost list item.

In Firefox 2 and Opera 9, the rightmost item does not display correctly unless I add "padding-right: 4px;" to li.last. But when I do that, IE7 shows too much right padding for the rightmost item (i.e., Contact).

What's causing this problem in IE7, and what's the best way to fix it so that the list displays the same in all 3 browsers?

Missing alt tags

cma — Mon, 19 Jun 2006 07:23:12 GMT

On all my category pages, all the alt tags assigned to the jps (about 30/page) disappeared, both on my web host and on my computer.

Has anyone heard of that being done accidentally by a web host or inadvertently by a web author using Dreamweaver MX 2004 or Topstyle?

Thanks, CMA

Wierd height in IE

fadeout32 — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 08:01:24 GMT

Hi,

can anyone tell me why this is displaying differently in IE? Firefox is doing what I expect and need, IE is just odd. I can't find anything referencing this bug on pie.net.

Many thanks,

Is anyone using the fieldset and legend tags? I didn't even know they were out there... but plan to implement them in current and future designs.

Deep level s in IE6

JimO — Mon, 20 Mar 2006 20:54:09 GMT

I'm having a problem getting my links to work in a div that is 4 levels deep. here is the css

#articleTitles {
position: relative;
top: 30px;
left: 0;
width: 350px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
.articleTitle {
font-size: .7em;
margin: 20px 5px 0 25px;
}
.articleTitle a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #A52442;
font-size: .9em;
font-family: Arial, Helvitica, sans-serif;
}
.articleTitle a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}

here is the markup

<div id='container'

... some stuff and other divs that are closed

...

<div id='articleTitles'>

<div class='articleTitle'>
<a href='#'>Article Title</a>
<div>
Here is some text to display so the reader can have a quick preview.
</div>
</div>

...

</div>

the link will work in NN and FF but not in IE. The rollover pseudo class will not work and it will not link to another page.

Any ideas?

Strange image positions in FireFox

robin — Wed, 12 Apr 2006 09:30:43 GMT

Page is here: http://www.absolutenetworks.co.uk/telephony.htm

When viewed in IE6, the page looks fine, with the images in the text rendered in the text according to where they appear in the code.

When viewed in FireFox 1.5 (and earlier if I recall correctly), the two upper images in the text are bumped down the page to appear beneath the first box on the left (the one with the product names in). I'm unable to work out what is going on. It maybe just a "FireFox thing" that maybe I shouldn't worry about since the *majority* of users likely use IE, particularly in a corporate environment which is what we are targetting.

Here's some code:

The images use class "floatleft" and "floatright":
img.floatright {
float: right;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-top: 5px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}

img.floatleft {
float: left;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-top: 5px;
rgin-bottom: 5px;
}

The images sit inside a [p] with the class of "mainbody":
p.mainbody {
margin-left: 0px;
margin-right: 20px;
margin-bottom: 0.75em;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 0.8em;
margin-top: 0px;
text-align: left;
padding-top: 0px;
}

The box on the left with the product names in uses the class "sidebar":
div.sidebar {
float: left;
width: 180px;
margin: 10px;
border-color: black;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
padding: 5px;
background-color: #f2f2f2;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 0.7em;
text-align: center;
clear: left;
position: relative;
}

The overall structure of this part of the page is (simplified):
[div id="mainbody"]
[img "globe image" class="mainimg" /]
[div class="sidebar"]
[img "product logo" class="sidebar" /]
[img "product logo" class="sidebar" /]
[img "product logo" class="sidebar" /]
[img "product logo" class="sidebar" /]
[img "product logo" class="sidebar" /]
[/div]
< - - images bump down to this point
[div class="sidebar"]
[img "product image" class="sidebar" /]
[img "product image" class="sidebar" /]
[/div]
[div id="content"]
[h1 class="telephony"]Telephony[/h1]
[p class="mainbody"]
[img "image that moves" class="floatright" /]
...paragraph text
[/p]
[h2 class="telephony"]
[img "image that moves" class="floatleft" /]New and Second User Systems[/h2]
[p class="mainbody">...paragraph text...[/p]
[/div]
[/div]

You get the overall feel of the structure. So the question is why do the images on the right bump down? It doesn't matter if I put the image tag into the header tag, the paragraph tag or take it outside completely and leave it just within the div.

Help! Thanks in advance.

CSS/Webpage oddities on one computer only!

Omicron — Sun, 15 Jan 2006 20:10:25 GMT

Hello All,
Can someone explain why one site I'm designing looks OK on the following systems:
WinXP SP2 IE6.x and Firefox 1.07 on two different labtops and;
on three different desktops as well as;
one laptop running Windown 2000 SP3;
but not on one desktop machine running WinXP SP2 and IE6.x
???????????
On the aforementioned machine, CSS Navagation bars are broken into two lines (while they are comfortably resting in a straight line of all the other machines with ample margins).
CSS-P graphics are visually misplaced by INCHES on this one machine's monitor.

All tests were made at a 1024x768 screen resolution with color quality set at 32-bit as well as at 24-bit.
I've also tested it at 1280x1024 - all fine.
All Browser windows were manually expanded, then shutdown via "File -> Exit" and then re-opened.
I've checked Accessibility settings and all options were un-checked on all machines used in this test. He also assures me that he have never changed any fonts from the Windows installtion default settings (I've not checked this statement directly as yet, however)

Only this one desktop machine is showing the page badly broken.
BTW, this gentlemen has this type of problem on various other webpages, so it isn't *totally* due to my poor coding techniques
When he powers up his laptop, however, he sees the world at it ought to be!

Has anyone seen this before and, if so, can someone explain to me what is going on and how to make it go 'way?
Thanks,
- Omicron - -

Converting a 3 Piece Web page to Use CSS

Lady Gem — Sat, 14 Jan 2006 11:01:26 GMT

Good Morning,
I am looking to Convert this style of page http://www.lady-gem.com/testing/ into one that is controlled using CSS. I am not too bad at CSS but this one really has me totally stumped. The page does not validate either but I would like it to also validate. I would prefer the XHTML Transitional page. I would even be willing to pay a small fee if someone can figure out how to do this.

You can download the files from the site but I also will upload the files here.

CSS, IFrame, Overflow, Scrollbar

bupaje — Mon, 02 Jan 2006 17:15:47 GMT

Hi. I am using an Iframe to wrap two external scripts on my site and try as I may with overflow-x, overflow-y, adjusting margins, padding, marginheight and so on I can't get rid of the horizontal scrollbar. If anyone could take a look and tell me if something jumps out at them as the cause of my problems it would be appreciated.
