Yea. Firefox still has memory leak issues on the Mac.
On PC though, it seems to work fine.

Hi,
This can sometimes happen when you buy a video with an e-check ... there is a slight delay.
I will get back to you via email and we will get you up in running.
Thanks,

"I have been thinking that the links to short articles could produce a 'pop-up' window in front of the current page, showing the article. Is this a good idea?"
This is something you want to avoid. Usability studies have shown (and my own experience) that people don't like pop-up windows. Just have the article appear in the main window.
... People like to use the 'back' button and pop-ups add an extra level of complexity that will only frustrate.

It should work.

It would be easier to just use different email addresses than to go into the wordpress codebase to try and modify core behavior.
... After all, email addresses are cheap these days!

Hi,
There are many ways to approach this. The manual way would be to create a series of data objects (objects who's job it is to interact with the database) and in those objects, would contain your php database code.
You would then create another bunch of 'controller' objects that would use your database objects to interact with the database objects. Hard to understand in one sentence I know ...
This come down to MVC architecture. We cover that in our php shopping cart tutorial and in our advanced php lessons that are coming out now.
The links:
http://www.killerphp.com/tutorials/shopping-cart-tutorial/
http://www.killerphp.com/articles/getting-into-php6-and-advanced-php-concepts-part-1/
The other way is to use something like the zend framework where they have set up a structure/framework where they worked this out.

I am happy to announce our new Flash CS4 video tutorials are finally ready! It only took me a year to get Santo (the author of the video tutorial course) to finally do it ? better late than never I suppose.
Anyway, it's a good one and you can check out free sample videos here:
http://www.killervideostore.com/video-courses/beginners-flash-cs4.php
Some bullet points:
* Learn Flash in easy to understand bite-sized videos.
* Learn how to use Flash's new bones tool.
* Learn the key to Flash animations: Symbols and Movieclips
* Download the videos as many times as you need - there is no time limit!
* Buying the DVD gets you the download for FREE, so you can start right away while you wait for the DVD to arrive.
Thanks,
Stefan

Anything you want to do in the Flash movie has to be done in Flash. All that Dreamweaver can do is place it on the page.
You need to learn more about the basics of web design and Flash.

To be honest, it has been a long time and I forget the specific nerd nuances between the two loop types.
Off hand though, I know that with a WHILE loop, you don't have initialization and declaration of variables within the declaration of the loop ... as you do with FOR loops.
With WHILE, you have to declare your variables beforehand and the increment/decrement the variables WITHIN the statement block. Yes, this is nerdy stuff!
So let's translate that into English: WHILE loops look one way, FOR loops look another - but they do the same thing!
For most programmers, it comes down to personal preference whether to use a FOR loop vs. a WHILE.
... I wouldn't get too concerned about it.

* Getting jQuery: Part 1 ? 8:22 minutes
* Getting jQuery: Part 2 ? 8:57 minutes
* Events: Part 1 ? 14:43 minutes
* Events: Part 2 ? 13:23 minutes
* Dom manipulation ? 10:39 minutes
* Ajax introduction ? 10:16 minutes
* Ajax with PHP ? 17:59 minutes

Any forum moderators interested in a copy, PM me and I will set you up.
Thanks,
Stefan

Have you done my basic PHP videos?
-
I've put someone on it to take a look - display users last log in date.
... I think in the admin panels you can mass delete someone. You moderators don't have that ability?
:/

Hi,
I just noticed that we are closing in on the milestone number. So after 9000+ post, how are you old timers liking this forum vs the old?
... I know I've asked before, but there is new perspective to be had after things are given a chance to sink in.

Joomla is written in PHP. As such, if you want to modify it, you will need to know a little PHP. I created a site for people just like you - web designers who need to work with their PHP based CMS: Killerphp.com
About your particular problem; I haven't worked with Joomla itself, so it is hard for me to be able to give you a specific answer.

Just check your CSS code - you've either:
1. made a typo.
2. haven't linked to your css file properly - assuming you used an external style sheet.

The advantage of using Wordpress and many other Blogs/CMS software, is that they take care of all the SEO stuff for you automatically.
Other than that, there is nothing special about Wordpress based pages vs. static HTML pages.
I use Wordpress all over the place.

"I need it to only display 3 td tags per line and then move on to the row."
This is bound by the recordset you are pulling from the database - each loop allows you to print out one record from MySQL. So if your record is made up of three columns/fields you will get three
pairs. Does this make sense?

You cannot do it fully in Javascript. You have two options when including mp3's in your web pages:
1. Use a Flash based mp3 player. There are several free ones that you can find with Google.
2. Just link directly to the mp3 file as you would link to a page.

I have a complete tutorial and lecture on using ajax with php.

Hi,
I don't if you seen this video on server side vs client side programming languages, but it may help.
Oops, you should also watch this video on your first PHP script - I do the examples in Dreamweaver.

LSW has got it right: convert to MySQL.
Remember that Access was designed to be a single user database; it does not handle multiple users hitting it at the same time to well.
You can either export as a text file as LSW suggest, or you can use a program that will convert an Access database to MySQL. Your choic,e depending on how complex your Access database is.

Frames were essentially invented to deal with browser layout limitations - you could use frames to divide the page and load different pages into those divisions. I remember when they first came out ... it was amazing and amazingly confusing.
But today with CSS positioning, scrolling divs and iframes, frames are a relic and should never be used.

Hi,
The key to dealing with your IE vs. Firefox problems is to use IE Conditional Comments so that you can add CSS that remedies IE's problematic interpretation of CSS - IE basically does things wrong.
Hope that helps,
Stefan
