    dropdown menu mods

    i found the menu code below. the original code dropped down sub-menus onmouseover. i changed to onclick and would like to change further so once any menu bar item is clicked, all menus will drop down onmouseover (like the menu bar of windows programs). i attempted several things (the most...

    2 problems uploading files - Image::Size and $CGI::POST_MAX

    upload multiple images

    let me find a rock to crawl under.... i forgot method=post - aarrrgh! i must have checked the form tag a thousand times - mostly concerned with the 'enctype'. i copied/pasted it from several different sources, re-typed it, used single quotes/double quotes, etc. thanks.

    upload multiple images

    More info.... i added a check to the script to display (on the results page) the upload_filehandle and the image path that shows in the upload form. the path to the image C:/..... doesn't show. i guess it's stripped during form processing. how do i get around that? i'm testing the script in...

    upload multiple images

    i want to allow user to upload up to 4 images so i use the following code i found. i modified it to loop through each image field name and process it if an image was uploaded. the script performs properly except the files on my server are 0 bytes - the file isn't actually getting uploaded...

    checkbox validation

    thanks again. your code may have accomplished the same thing, but i wasn't seeing it. however, it did get the thought juices flowing and i came up with this for (i=0;i<totalOptions;i++) { if (document.myForm5.elements[i].checked == true) { if (document.myForm5.elements[i].value ==...

    checkbox validation

    thanks for the quick response. while testing it further i realized what's happening - it's based on something i left out. my base application is the form, but i have a 'div' tag inside the form. there is a js sort function that re-writes the div based on dropdown selections so while i start...
