It depends on your audience, your image, and the purpose of site.

Personally, I click 'Skip Intro' whenever possible on any site that has a flash intro. I think they are useless, and come between me and whatever it is I'm trying to do. If you must have one, keep it short (3-5 sec.).

The organization of your site is more important than how cool it looks, IMO. Having said that, a graphically pleasing site it always a good idea, as long as you don't sacrifice too much in terms of usability.

So, once you have the organization(conetent and navigation) of your site laid out, then you can decide on how you want it to look. What image do you want to portray? This may cause a need for fancier graphics or even some flash, I suppose. The point is there is a balance that will work for your case.

I totally agree to your opinion...

This is the most profesional way to go...

There are good and bad flashy web sites and there are good and bad content based web sites... There are also good and bad websites that are a bit of both...

You need to find the balance depending on what your target group is and what the image of your comapny is. I wouldnt take seriously a financial companys web site if it was too flashy and it would be boring to have content based and serious web site for a company that make computer games...

There is no site there at the moment, I just get IE's page not found page - that's in Verdana Big Grin | :-D

If you meant auh.edu, there is a "american western" text style flash animation, but it may not be a font, just some bitmaps - I don't recognise it. Why not ask their web master?

Actually I was asking about the font in the 'flash' animation. Anyway, I was able to 'find' the font. Thanks to 'fonts.com'.

Hi,
I have an HTML doc, and nested inside it is another doc in an iframe. In the inner doc, I have some script and need some way of getting a reference to the javascript objects of the outer doc - I plan to use this to get a copy of the outer doc's html in string. But, I can modify the outer doc at all. Is it possible?

You can access HTML elements and FORM elements as well as JavaScript Variables from within the IFRAME.

Can reference to them by using the top. keyword or the parent. I think...

E.g.

If you have a javascript variable in the main doc as such:
var myVar;
Then you can access this from within the IFRAME as such:
top.myVar

Hope this helps ...

I haven't ever done this but there is an event which you can use. Its the :

onselectstart

event that is supported by IE for sure but I dont know if NS or Opera supports it.

Once you capture the event passing the object that triggerred the event you should be able to use the some of the following properties t get the relavent HTML code:
innerHTML,
outerHTML,
outerTEXT,
outerTEXT

Hope this helps

How to change input locales in a textarea?

Hi everyone, I just wanna ask if there is a way to switch between input locales in a textarea without having to press the altkey and shift key.
I've tried to use window.event object but both properties altKey and shifKey are read only and therefore cannot be set.
How can i simulate the pressing of altKey and shiftKey through scripts to switch between the languages in a textarea tag.

You help is greatly appreciated.

Nader.

Instead of stimulating the keypress, what you can do is to "stimulate" the result...

i.e. use the focus() method on the textarea you want to "tab" to.

e.g.

<br />
<textarea id="oText1"></textarea><textarea id="oText2"></textarea><br />
<br />
<script ...><br />
document.all.oText2.focus();<br />
</script><br />

Hope this helps.

I am not trying to set the focus on the text area.
I have two different languages on my systerm say A & B.
The active language on the system now is A.
All I want is to switch to language B when the focus is set on the text area as if the user has pressed the altkey and shiftKey to switch between the two languages.

Hi,

I know MSKB has a list of tags supported by PIE 3.0.. however, it does not list the attributes supported...

Is there a resource page anywhere where we can view the full list of attributes (as well as CSS properties) supported for PIE? much like MSDN Library's HTML reference.

For eg, does tag support the height attribute? height for tr is something only MSIE supports but does PIE support it?

Thanks.

Why use CAB-files?

What’s the reason for CABs?
I see there is a project in VS .NET that is called CAB-project. I’ve read a bit about them in MSDN and might be able to use it if I know how….

Think this is the wrong forum but oh well. Anyway one advantage to use cab files is that it can be much faster to copy a single file archive over then extract everything then waste all the time seeking on a CD for single small file copying and seeking again. That said why they didn't use cab files for Visual Studio, I have no idea.... D'Oh! | :doh:

But sometimes it's easier just to have everything all in one easy to manage archive.

Grrr.. Tables and Images

17-Dec-03 10:47

I am developing a webpage in ASP.NET and all I want to do is have a image align at the very right of a table.... Thats all. But even when I say align right there is always a couple of pixels past the image and I don't want that. Here is my code...

<br />
                     <TABLE id="Table2" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="300" border="0" style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 8px"><br />
                        <TR><br />
                           <TD bgcolor="#0066cc"><img src="graphics/tabreak.gif" align="right"></TD><br />
                           <TD bgcolor="#0066cc"><img src="graphics/tabreak.gif" align="right"></TD><br />
                           <TD bgcolor="#0066cc"><img src="graphics/tabcorner.gif" align="right"></TD><br />
                        </TR><br />
                     </TABLE><br />
<br />

Anyone know what I should do different? Thanks!
