No... I have tried. I have a cable Modem but I use Juno for my email. When I click on "Add me to the list" it starts my email but in the "Send to" area, it is blank. If you can manually add me that would be cool.

Here is my address... [email protected]

It looked nicer with the boxes. Though I never understood why you used images for it instead of just making a table. :notsure:

simply because the program i use to create the site wont produce tables very well.>:(

removed the boxes so that people with dial up connection can get the pages to load quicker. It was a case of loose the boxes or loose the visitors. the visitors won!:)

An HTML program that doesn't do tables? What's it good for, then? You know, those tables are simple enough that you could do them by hand and just copy and paste it in. This only took me a few minutes: http://www.cs.rit.edu/~pjw9720/table.html

If you would be so kind as to let me know how to do them (only built first ever site 6 weeks ago and have no clue as to programming) i will definitely use them. only used graphics as did not knoe how to design table. could probably work out how to get links working again afterwards

I think I used up all my table knowledge with that, acutally. :) I really don't have anything else to add. [tr] starts a row, [td] starts a cell. Um, you can stick a bgcolor="color" in the [td] to change the color of that cell. rowspan=# and colspan=# inside the td tag would make the cell span multiple rows or columns. Honestly, all I know I figured out by opening a table in notepad and editing it. But all you need is plain old rows and columns, so you just need [tr]s and [td]s inside a [table].

Well, I wasted an hour of my life but I created a webpage that looks almost identical to yours but is about half the size and loads about 10 seconds faster on a 28.8 modem. Once I get all the bugs out of it I will zip it and send it to you if you want. It shouldn't be that hard to use. It of course does not have any of the javascript that yours does but I could put that back in. If your hosting server allows frontpage extensions you can set up one page with the images that are at the top of the page that way not using as much space on your website.

Reply #94 Top

Reply #95 Top
Can do. I will finish setting it up and then post here once I send another zip.

Hey Spellfroce.

How about adding a "Pack" folder to your mod side.
Just would like to know if you would do so.

I'm currently building a Pack of so called "Halutian stuff" and i hope not to need dissasample it, if i'll send it to your mod lib.

May the force be with you and your empire

Ha ha - one of the biggest security holes you can put on a linux box without major effort. (you either have to modify files and totally rebuild from source (repeat for each security hole fixed!), or use an old (and vulnerable!) version

You can include files with the standard SSI options - although I may need to specifically enable that. This would mean you could set the page header up once, and then include it on each page. Alternatively look at using PHP.
