Is it actually legal to lift data from a website and sell it to someone else?
This comes back to basic copyright infringement. You would have to look this up or contact lawyer about this. That said, they cannot just copy your content and rebrand it. But they can use it as the basis of their own content by changing up the sentences, images and still deliver the same basic material and structure.
These types of legal battles can be costly. My advice would be to contact their hosting company with a complaint of plagiarism and many times, the hosting company will look into it not wanting any headaches.
... I should point out that (if memory serves me,) that hosting companies cannot be held responsible for their clients content.

You should be able to wrap the function call in a try/catch and then set it to catch any error. This way, you can display a nice friendly message to users.
If you knew the twitter API, you could get a list of errors it throws, then create a more fine-tuned error handling routine. If not, just do a catch all and you should be fine.

On the Mac, you may be able to set file associations - if that is the problem you are having.
... To be honest I am not 100% sure if I understood your question. I guessed it was file associations.

You may want to check in the Dreamweaver preferences and see if there as option there to stop it from doing that.
But typically on Windows, when you install a new program, the program will ask you if you want it to become the default application for x,y,z files.

I am a big fan of Wordpress because it is really easy to use and install and it has a huge community behind it. That means lots of templates, plug-ins etc ...
We also have Wordpress videos too.

I have not used CMS Made Simple, so I can't comment on it except to say some of our members like it.

Hi,
I'm happy to hear you liked Web Design 1 - that was my very first video I made a while back.
I am actually planning on releasing a Javascript tutorial within the next few months. In the meantime, I would suggest you jump into PHP for now because:
1. PHP is supremely useful.
2. Once you know PHP, learning Javascript will be a piece of cake.
My PHP tutorials can be found on www.killerphp.com
Thanks,
Stefan

A spreadsheet would make sense or even a series of text files - one per client. Google has a free spreadsheet that works as a web application that may be something worth looking into.
Sometimes this kind of stuff is just messy.

Are the later versions any better, or would I be best sticking with what I have? I also have downloaded HTML-kit, but not tried it out yet.
Dreamweaver 8 is getting pretty old and it does use an older rendering engine. So yes, Dreamweaver CS3 and CS4 are a big leap ahead.
Of course, if you are just a coder, then using HTML-kit or some other inexpensive or free text editor can probably do the trick.

I wanted to view the two websites, but there doesn't seem to be any URLs or links to them in the original post. Benjamin, how did you know what sites to review?
Oops, I nailed the URL's too quickly it seems.
Perhaps the guy could put them back for now.

I believe in the 'broken windows' theory where it is found that if you clean up a place of broken windows and graffiti, it is less likely that others will feel compelled to break windows etc ...
It's kinda like coming into a really clean home; I've noticed how people are much more careful about taking off their shoes.

How to create a fraction in a web page? I know only this way: ?. How to get a horizontal line in an elegant way?
Could you, please, suggest a link where to read about it? Thanks. :-)
Hi,
You just wrote 1/2 in the post above and ... it looks pretty good to me.
I suppose you could create a ... around the 1/2 and then use CSS to change the font and text properties. You know, make it bold, all caps etc ....

Hi,
Welcome to the forum.
You have two options:
1. Change your pages to PHP pages and use PHP includes. Check out my video on PHP includes. The problem with this approach, that you will need to change the pages from being .html pages to .php pages.
2. You can use perhaps something based on Ajax or even more simply, use an iframe to contain your menu.
Which solution to choose?
If I didn't have much direct traffic coming to the sub-pages of the site, I would just go ahead with PHP includes - they are overall the best option. Otherwise, I would look to using an iframe.

Hi,
Falkencreative is correct ... I just have a habit of doing this for reasons of code clarity and because I have a history of using languages (Java etc ...) that required variable declarations and initialization.
For simple operations like in this example, it is overkill, but as things get more complex, declaring variables can keep things easier to understand.

We both agree, though, that lower case is preferred, even for HTML.
Yep, keep it all lower case.
CamelCase sucks now.

Never heard of it.
These days, JQuery seems to be the number one framework with several of the major players adopting it.
... I actually plan on creating a few videos on the subject.

Hi,
I am using it now and it is superior to Dreamweaver CS3 ... especially when it comes down to handling CSS. I created a few videos on the subject in the Dreamweaver CS4 videos section of the website.

Where do you go to check something like that?
You check your web stats.
That said, based on recent data I've seen, target 1024*768 and up.
Although, this will be affected by the your site's audience.
Merry Xmas.

Hmmm ... Firefox does.
Another thing to look at.

Hi,
I just wanted to break in this forum with a post about our Actionscript 2.0 video tutorials.
We also have an interesting video on the evolution of Actionscript (from AS 1 to AS 3).
Expect much more to come.

I/O Error: Unknown mime type : image/jpeg
The error is always relevant!
echo $icon_img_link; ?>
You can't echo an image. You can echo out an image string ... but not the actual image. Based on the error, I am guessing that somehow the error has to do with you passing/use an image in a bad way with PHP.
:/

It is hard to discern with the code fragments. If you could, in bullet points, tell us what the code is trying to do. Don't write an essay, because people will not read it. Make sure it is in clear easy to read steps.

I'm happy to hear you are liking it.
It was a tough decision to shut down the old forum, if for no other reason, that we've been using it for about 6 years!
