Whilst I would probably do something with a CMS/Database you could achieve this quite simply with a bit of server side scripting to grab the files from the directory. Combine that with some Javascript (or even a Flash element) and you can make a good looking slideshow. What server side...

I run CS3 on an Intel iMac and it's no problem at all. Runs better than it does on the Dual G5s we have here. All I've heard about CS4 has been frustration - on any CPU/OS. That said, I wouldn't buy the G5 (even though it's a very good machine) for the compatability reasons previously...

Do you have a page called index.html? If so, remove it. I don't have time to test at the moment but maybe the validator is looking for index.html first? Tek-Tips Forums is Member Supported. Click Here to donate <honk>*:O)</honk> Tyres: Mine's a pint of the black stuff. Mike: You can't drink a...

Looks to me like you have a page called index.html AND a page called index.php. The 'proper' page is under index.php but the default for the webserver is to serve index.html FIRST. Only if that page isn't found will it try index.php. The page doesn't validate though...

If you can log in as root then you should be able to see/change the password on the original admin account. If you can't do that then you could create a new user with admin privileges and take it from there. Or do you not have the root password either? I think that can be reset with the CD...

I'm not certain but I think it would probably have to be done with an OSX Server disc rather than just an OSX disc. Is root access enabled? You may be able to log in as root and create a new Admin user. However be very careful as you could hose the whole thing and since the server disc is...

If that's as complex as the XML gets then you could simply use Regular Expressions to grab the bit you need. However, the "proper" way to do it would be to parse the XML file. There are a number of XML parsing classes around which should make this quite simple. Tek-Tips Forums is Member...

I agree, but check the contract first. I know of a UK company that operates in the way in which you described and their contract is very crafty with regards to things like that. Tek-Tips Forums is Member Supported. Click Here to donate <honk>*:O)</honk> Tyres: Mine's a pint of the black...

There are at least a couple of ways to do this without breaking standards but to be honest, if you fix the other errors you could live with the Flash "problem". Try Googling for "Flash Satay" if you want a way to embed Flash content whilst meeting XHTML 1 standards. There are 2 flash objects...

That's precisely what it does do. The definition of "wrong" is that the code doesn't follow a pre-defined specification. That specification is denoted by the Doctype used. In this case the code didn't validate against the Doctype so therefore was/is "wrong". If by "real errors" you mean that...

It's not all bad. The problems I saw earlier were easy to fix. If you can't get them to fix it then live with it, see what you can fix and if you have any questions or need help then come back and ask here. Like I said, the homepage fixes would take less than an hour. Most of the errors were...

No, Dreamweaver is not a toy and is a very good piece of software but it will only do what you tell it to do. It is very possible to create junk code with Dreamweaver as it is with any HTML editor. The code for the site in question had numerous errors that were introduced by misuse of the...

Odd. I was just going back to get the source from your page to make it validate (I have a spare 30 mins) and it now seems to redirect to another site. Anyway... I realised I hadn't really answered your actual question. The reason you want the code to validate is that you are telling the...
