Ad-aware SE is not a bad start. I assume the paid-for version does better.

sadly - no serverside. I guess I could but it would cost money, time and frustration - all for a small return. But when I get to an impasse I will take the plunge.

Thanks guys. I think we have reach the end of the dead end. I only use JAvaScript for incedental fillips like telling the surfer it is the third Friday of the month - which they could work out for themselves - which from the feedback I get is a 10% deal probably. I must say that I came to...

Ta but- I haven't got server side program availability. I guess I must have use JavaScript

Apart from frames or JavaScript - is there a way to load a common section of code before or even after the unique code contained in the loading file. I was sure I had done this but maybe it was in JavaScript. Frames may be the only way but I was told it makes it harder for search engines and...

FWIW dunno if it helps but IE5.5, NS 4.5 and Firefox all do things differently and what I found was that often somewhat like this helped // get it into a variable first var fred = document.myForm.inputField.value; alert(fred) // then use it var bill =fred.search(rExp) alert(bill) if...

presume this is XP we are talikng about. Some of use still use Win98 because the target audience do and it is the only way to understand their problems. Flash & "Flash only" sites - on 56K. double ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

just a thought but if you ever turn these dates into a full date and time the single instruction (?? not at home right now) to produce a string like "Wed Oct 20 15:16:59 UTC+0100 2004 " can differ on browsers. Opera uses the full day and month word. My solution to avoid this instruction...

var ns=(document.layers); var ie=(document.all); Firefox reports nulls on both The actual code has changed because it involved scrolling text in an oval. Some surfers remarked it was getting their attention - well it did its job but it was a bit over the top. I decided to use the status bar...

I forgot more code at the bottom - the closing brace } (ns)?window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEMOVE ):0; if (ns||ie){ (ns)?window.onMouseMove=Mouse:document.onmousemove=Mouse; } if (ns||ie)window.onload=drag; function drag looks to be straightforward maths to generate a moving ovoid by...

I am not sure what fails in Firefox (appName=Netscape appVersion = 5.0..........) that works in IE5.5 & 6.0 and can be made to work in Netscape 4.5 any ideas? ns & ie are created by tests that genrate nulls if not that browser (in Firefox both nulls) the set-up for layers has been ommitted for...

IF, ISNONTEXT, ISNUMBER and TEXT(cell,"blah blah") would do it if you have data from another cell (maybe hidden) eg If(ISNUMBER(cell),TEXT(cell,"format",IF(ISNONTEXT(cell),cell,TEXT(cell,"other format"))) of course you could format the cell during a WorkSheet_Change event and inspect every...

good tip - If we knew what they meant and browsed them all the VB help while typing would suggest these things but it is a huge task to look, interpret and test the long list.

you could try opening the app (app activate) and use SendKeys "%O" ' to open a file % = ALT SendKeys "filename" ' to open a file etc but using OPEN and GET are easier because you cannot single step through SendKeys as it sends the keystrokes to the VB window. AND the target app has to have...

update - if you type in the line it offers parameters which get a good explanation in VBA help - eg you can define the file name and it will fill the filename box ready for the user. The help file expands on all the dialogs but strangely (office 2000) does not include the hyperlink dialog viz...
