Hello, I am in search for a program to copy webpages to my local drive for offline use. I have come across several programs like Grab A Site, WebWhacker, Teleport Pro, Visual Web Task, WINHTTrack, etc. But all these programs seem to be having problems with the fact that i am sitting behind a proxy . Normally there is an option in every...

I would like to have the space between words in the sentence halved in my web pages. There is no way to accomplish that, as far as I know. But maybe there is a way. Thanks for information. Fuli Chang

Hi, I got a flash file in my web site. I got some menu buttons above it. When the menu expands, the menu items are being covered by the flash file. How can I make the menu items appear over the flash file? Thank you for your time. Ram

I would like to try to set the size of a 'select' dropdown list, so that it does not automatically resize based on the data that it receives (horizontally that is). Can this be done in CSS or HTML? Rick

I am creating an active desktop for my office ( A webpage that sits on everyone's desktop, but doesn't have all of the features of a browser window). It includes two frames: one for a menu, another for content. One of the features I would like to have in the menu is a form that will make the content frame visit the site entered into this...

Some time ago I set up a webcam at home and a page on my site. Every three minutes the webcam would take a picture of my backyard and ftp it to my site where it was displayed on my webcam page. The image was ftp'ed to ftp://mydomain.org/webcam.jpg. On my website was a file, webcam.htm, that had a place for the image, webcam.jpg. I put...

I'm trying to be "smart" about constructing web pages with common elements. Since I don't have control over the server, and would prefer not to use scripts to construct pages, I have tried OBJECT. However, it does behave in (to me) non-obvious ways. (In case it's a browser thing: I'm using Netscape 7.02 under OS X 10.2.6.) In one...

Is it possible to FTP a file directly from a form? This needs to go to a FTP server that doesn't have a webserver. I have some memory of being able to pass the login on the url string, but don't remember how that works. Jeff

Hello, I would like to know whether having a <table> element with two <tr> elements each containing one <td> elements and two <td> elements, respectively, is legal from the point of view of standard W3C HTML/XHTML. In particular, is it legal for table rows to contain differing number of columns, even when the colspan attribute is not used?...

Is there any way to take one of the fields from the form and use that as your subject line.. right now I have a default subject line entered - but would rather have the subject be the information the user has typed into the field "store" current code: <!-- Start of FORM --> <form method="POST" action="mailto:abc@abc.com?subject=ABC...

Hi, I have a website displayed in an iframe with anchors (it`s a navigation tree) an every time I click on an object in my navigation tree, the whole website moves. Is it possible to move the navigation tree in the iframe without the website? Thank you,

I produce a couple of simple web sites on Frontpage 2002 and when attempting to validate the pages via W3C.org I get the FATAL ERROR message because the pages don't have the proper DTD's. My pages are only prefaced by <html>. My index page is a frame page and the banner, content, and main pages are vanilla FrontPage 2002. Will someone...

A page that my company maintains is having problems... the main page is set up to be navigated via images, and they are laid out in a table... whenever we view the page in IE there are gaps in the images where the different table rows start and end. At first I had a finite height set on each image, and the problem appeared in Mozzilla as well...

Hi. My friend used frames and layers to create: http://www.cooleycom.com/ccbeta/index.html He noticed that the page doesn't lay out properly for print. Can you give any advice as to how to fix it so the print layout matches the screen layout? I'm going to suggest he do everything in tables on one layer unless

I tried to setup a frameset which consists of 4 different subframes. Each of these subframes should fetch a different web page from the internet and display it completely (!). BUT: the vertical size should be undefined. Depending on the retrieved (lets say 2nd) webpage the frame should take as much space as it needs to display the whole sub web...

Wonder if anyone can help me solve this problem! I have a 3x3 table which i'm using to create a table with a rounded edge using images in the top left, top right, bottom left, and bottom right cells and lines in the top/left/right and bottom cells (sounds odd, you'll see what i mean when you see the site). It works fine, except the top and...
