    Preferred Font Size Type - %, px, em

    Hey, I have been using percentages for CSS font sizes for years but was wondering what everyone else uses. I notice that px is becoming more popular and it resizes in the browser when the user wants it to. Some years ago it was only percentages and em's that did that and that's why I went with...

    Testing an email without sending a test email message to the inbox?

    Hi, I was just wondering if there was a way to test if an email address is working without sending a test email that the person would get. I'd like to see if a client's email is working without sending them a real email. Is there a way to do this in DOS, online, etc.? Thanks...

    IE 7 cannot display web pages but Firefox, Opera can!

    Hi, I rarely use IE but decided to upgrade to 7. Since doing so, IE 7 always returns that it cannot display the web page - for every page I try to go to. Funny thing is that I'm online with Firefox and Opera and I can get to pages no problem. My old IE 6 didn't have a problem either. So my...

    BSOD, Windows Logo Testing error even when not installing anything!

    I have had a Dell Inspiron 9400 (WinXP) for my small business for over a year. I haven't had any major problems until now. I've been getting the odd random blue screen of death for no apparent reason (although one time I got it when I pulled my cordless mouse USB thing out of the port). Also...

    Remote view shows root folder only - no folders or files!

    Hi, I've been using DW for over a year on my laptop and just today I can't seem to see any folders or files on the remote side when I connect. I get the root '/www/' folder but nothing is under it. All my sites do this now so I can't see the remote files. And yes, the folders and files are...

    Table cell padding

    Hi, I need to add padding to one table cell. When I change the 'spacing to contents' in 'table format', every cell in the table gets the padding. How do you add different paddings to table cells? I would have thought there would be a way to highlight a cell and choose properties to change...

    Folder contents listed in reverse order when saving/opening/browsing

    Just the other day, all my folders started displaying their contents in reverse alphabetical order. This doesn't happen when I just go to a folder using My Computer or Windows Explorer; it happens whenever I need to save a file, open a file, or browse for a file regardless of program. When...

    Resize doc from top? If not, how do I move layers/tweens up?

    I need to resize my flash file to keep the stuff at the bottom but chop off the top stuff. If I resize the document, it chops off the bottom (furthest from 0,0) and forces me to try and move every single layer and tween up! How can I resize the document from the top instead of the bottom and...

    Hi, I've got 3 bitmaps which I saved at highest res and imported into Flash. I made them into animated buttons. It all works fine with the background big enough, the movies playing nicely, etc. Viewing it in Flash (.fla) looks great but as soon as I preview it or export it into the swf...

    Simple Error Logging Questions

    Hi, I need some clarification regarding error logging. I'm on a shared server and want all errors to be written to a log file instead of the browser. I'm using error_log(string, 3, file) to write to a file and have display_errors off and log_errors on. I have the following questions: 1...

    Internal linking with http://www - Good/Bad?

    Hi, With regards to internal linking, is there any downside to including the full domain name or does this increase bandwidth? That is, for links, images, css, etc. instead of linking like "/folder1/folder2/file.php" or "../folder2/file.php" is it okay to use...

    php pages load slow; most people experience it, our supplier does not

    Hi, Our hosting supplier recently upgraded to php 4.3.10 and at that time ALL php pages for any of our clients began loading slowly (sometimes a minute or more!) HTML pages load quickly. It's not the code itself because when we move any of the sites, even to a free server to test, they load...
