    Google G-mail keeps popping up a message that my current version of MS Internet Explorer is not supported by G-Mail and I should upgrade. I've upgraded to Explorer 8, but the message won't go away. Checked cookies and script settings, dropped security levels, etc. to no avail. Google is...

    Looking for spam blocking code

    I've been getting flooded by spam-bots in a guestbook form on the order of hundreds of entries per day. I've been looking for some code to require submitters to type in a random set of characters to verify they're not a bot but haven't found anything. Could someone point me to some sample code...

    Critical file list for ME

    I asked a beginning student to cleanup the hard drive on an ME system...and didn't stand over him while he was doing it. In the process he got an error message about a file which he does not recall the name of. To get rid of the error message he just deleted that file. [big sigh] And of course...

All of the tutorials I've found so far get rather deep into the mechanics of how it works but don't really give any simple examples. I don't really need to understand the nuts and bolts of how .htaccess works...I...

    Photo album script

    I'm looking for a script that will manage a photo album without needing MySQL or other database. Something like the photo gallerys in Yahoo Clubs would be nice. Uploaders need to be verified before they are permitted to post. Free would also be nice... algraff ::-) http://www.bv.k12.oh.us...
