How come there's a little red cross in my box where my picture should go?

[Yuffie]

does ne1 know how to make those little quizz thingys...ya know what i am mean how to make little quizzes that they use for the anime stuff to find out who ya r....

Ok. These are questions relating to web pages.

1.) How do you link to a different part of the same page? i.e. If I had a page listing computer games from A to Z, and it was all on 1 page, what is thecode that lets u jump to any letter u want?

2.) How do u get guestbooks and polls to work? I have made both, but people can't reply to them. I think it's because I don't have the stuff about cgi-bin?? I think you need to put that in somewhere, but I don'tknow the code and I don't really understand it.

A question about TFF.

AT the top of my sig there is a little picture of a woman. However, this image is a gif, but wont work on tff. Is there any reason for this?

GR: I think you forgot the </A> on the end.

Answers relating to webpages for Blitzie:

1) make use of the Name tag:
This will be the link:
<a href="#type anything but without spaces">this will show on your page as a link</a>

This will be where you're going to when you click on the link, place this code where ever you want on the same page:
<a name="type the same thing as above, but without the #">Type a titel or something else, a pic could be nice too</a>


Example 1:
<a href="#chrono">Go here for info about Chrono Trigger</a>

<a name="chrono">Chrono Trigger</a>
It's about blablabla...

Example 2:
<a name="list">Games:</a>
A
B
C
etc.
<a href="#list">back to list</a>


2)I don't know much bout creating guestbooks and polls yourself (if that's what you meant), tried it once. But getting it from free services is a lot easier, I use this for polls and this for a guestbook.

Ok, I doubt any of you know this, but can anyone tell me the OnMouseOver scripting? PLEASE? Oh and please highlight the variables (names, img src's etc...).

One more, can anyone tell me how to get transparent iFrames?

Thanks...

[Arus Kim]

Silent Sorrow: The OnMouseOver scripting that I know is this:

-----
<a href="Your Link Here" onmouseout="self.status='';" onmouseover="window.status='Text here that you want to appear in the status bar instead of the link address';return true">Your Link Here</a>
-----

I hope that was what you were looking for. And for the transparent Iframes. What do you mean by that?

[MOMO]

Oh~! IFrames! I think I know those...

But actually, you don't 'get' them, they're actually in a code, lol.^^0

You basically put this:

style="filter:alpha(opacity=50)"

into the iframe tag, or into DIV style, or table style. Though I prefer using DIV styles, since it's much more easier.

Like,

<div style="position: absolute {whichever position you choose, but I prefer absolute better.} ; top: top number { whatever you choose }px; left: left number{ whatever you choose }px; width: width number{ whatever you choose }px; height: height number{ whatever you choose }px; filter: alpha(opacity=opacity number{custom opacity}); background: transparent;"><img src="img url"></div>

{}'s dont put into the code. And for the 'px''s are named as pixels, but you don't have to put them in there, unless you prefer them to.^^;

Hope that help ya. ^_^

Thanks Jeri, I use DIV too... Is SPAN any good? I've been told that it is, but it seems very pointless XD.

[MOMO]

I'm not really quite fond in SPAN, but it can be quite useful in some styles. I think it's similar to DIV styles though, correct me if I'm wrong. But seeing how I've already gave you the DIV style for the transparent IFrames, there's really no use for SPAN anymore, lol. =P

Ah... Does anyone know any good FREE font sites? I know about... Acid Fonts (though it really sucks...) and 1001 Fonts. Any others? Oh and Jeri, where does the entire "iFrame" actuall code go?

[MOMO]

It goes into the <body> code of the html code, of course. =P

As for font sites, I would either recommend

http://www.fontalicious.com - good fonts
http://www.dafont.com - has a shitload of a variety of fonts there.

Despite that the Fontalicious site has less fonts than Dafont, it has pretty good free fonts there, mostly the ones you could rarely find in other fonts, but yeah. Hope that helps ya.

My topic got deleted or lost, so ill try here.

Ever heard of these things? They get in your system and slow it down, and have downloaded pop-ups that well....pop-up. Alot.

I think I have one of these. I hate it. My broadband is running like 56k and it pisses me off. And the pop-ups are more than annoying........


So, does anyone know of any software that takes care of these buggers?

A firewall might be good too.

OK, here are a few general precautions to preserve your computer.

1. Get a firewall, I use ZoneAlarm, and that's fine.
2. Get a VirusScan, like McCafee VirusScan. Run it every few weeks.
3. De-Frag your computer often, every fortnight. [Start--> Settings---> Control Panel---> System Tools---> Disk Defragmenter.]

Hope it helps .

[Djinn]

I'd suggest purchasing Nortan Anitvirus (or system works), i used to have one of them and i too noticed the lag in my broadband connection, it was swiftly dispatched after a scan by norton...it might not be able to get rid of it immediatly but if it does this it will quarentine it so it doesn't effect the computer...then when a virus definition that can delete the parasite is avaliable norton will download it and you'll be rid of the damn thing for good.

The only bad thing about this is that Norton antivirus isn't cheap
