I tried posting this on comp.infosystems.www.misc, but that group appears to get very little traffic. So now I'm trying here. If there is a more appropriate group, please let me know.

I am using CGI.pm and GD to make a page that generates a diagram based on some form input.

However, if you click the refresh button in the toolbar - it does....

Has anyone ever installed the w3c validator source under Windows and gotten it to work? This would be very handy to have on my laptop, where I often work without a web connection and already have Apache/PHP/MySQL running... But I don't want to even get started trying to get things going on Windows unless someone else has had some luck (or...

Today, my wife was chatting with a friend and her friend was telling her about an irc script that she just "needed" and then directed her to this download page: http://www.barrie44.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/script.htm I have IE all but removed from this computer and use Firebird. Needless to say, the page barely even showed up and the lower half,...

About once a week, I post an FAQ pointer in this newsgroup under the same heading as this post. That pointer has two purposes: 1. To keep regulars from having to post the standard answers to standard questions again and again; if you have a standard question, you might save yourself some time by first reading the available material for this...

I have a design where the page is divided into two frames. The top frame is just one line tall and is to contain a menu. The bottom frame is again divided into three frames (left, middle, right). Now I'm looking for a popup (or drop-down?) menubar implementation such that the top frame contains the menubar but the actual menus themselves...

Having spent hours on end sorting out layout issues caused by having different amount of cells in different rows, I've finally got a webpage looking as it should. However, when I add an image to a cell, it messes up a different cell. I have some of the cells set to definite sizes but that fails to keep them as they should look. Here's the...

I have this following code in my html file: <object classid="clsid:166B1BCA-3F9C-11CF-8075-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/director/sw.cab# version=7,0,0,0" width="320" height="320"> <param name="src" value="file.dcr" /> <embed src="file.dcr"...

I'd like to alternate the rows in a table between having a shaded background and being transparent to the background. It's a table of people's names, phone numbers, and beeper numbers. So, by having alternate rows be shaded, it will make it easier to read which number in the leftmost column belongs to the name in the rightmost column. ...

Can anyone suggest a better/clearer guide than this A List Apart article? http://www.alistapart.com/stories/accesskeys/ It appears to be not quite right as when I do as it suggests... it doesn't work. What I am trying to do is make the first letter of certain links bold, but not others (for Access keys), while also retaining rollover...

Hello, I am told I shouldn't use tables for anything but tabular data. I'm looking for a way to correctly align form fields using DIVs. With tables, I would do the following: <TABLE> <FORM> <TR><TD>Field 1:</TD><TD><input type=text></TD></TR> <TR><TD>Field 2:</TD><TD><input type=text></TD></TR> </FORM>

I need a vertical menu with maybe 10 links on it. The menu will run the full length of the screen, and will consist of 10 large boxes with large-ish text for the links. These links need to be large and responsive (idiot-proof) so that the IT-phobic users can navigate quickly. Note on Context: the page is on an intranet system, and these...

Hello all, I'm trying to convert some files from html into xhtml with HTML Tidy, GUI version. It does a great job, except that it uncurls all the quotation marks, single and dubble. There seems to be no difference between the various options for character sets (I use UTF-8). How can I keep my smart quotes? Thanks, Dirk
