Who can explain Chris's and my experiences. And is that last sentence grammatical, and if not how do I make it so? Surely I don't have to say "The experiences of Chris and me?"

There's a web cache on your network?

RickyT, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Chris and I Nick, and I

Ronan, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

sounds like a local cache. no one else has rights to that image, but you still have it on your hd, so it isn't fetched afresh from site.

Alan Trewartha, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Ah, OK. But how does that explain what happened to Chris where it let him view it as an embedded image if he'd pasted in the address previously?

Ronan, "the experiences of I"? Surely not?

N., Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

it's grammatical

mark s, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

this isn’t business, this time it’s grammatical

gareth, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I trust mark s. But it does sound weird, yes?

N., Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

The address has a question mark in it, suggesting that yahoo does a server-side query for it. Perhaps they don't work as links because of this (I don't know why), but once you've pasted them into the browser they're cached locally and then work afterwards?

Sam, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Surely this is all part of the conspiracy against N.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Yes, that's what I thought. You should hear what happened to my friend K.

N., Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Tried downloading some porn and was never from again? Figures.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I don't think that was the subtext Kafka was aiming for, but you could be right. Maybe that's why Welles said he was guilty as hell. Orson knew all about the future of porn delivery channels, being a keen student of Nostradamus.

N., Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Oh lord, *that* K. Bah. But yes, it was an analog download if you like.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Dude.

Go Back To The Top of the Thread

jel, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I REALLY want little anchor tags for each post. So the first post gets <a name="1"> the second post gets <a name="2"> etc. so that it's possible to link to specific posts instead of just the whole thread. The way it is now it's like a hyooge collection of 70 minute mix CDs with only one track on each one. Also, it would allow jel to actually link to the top :)

(p.s. "my flesh"!! ha!)

Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I'd really like an HTML error checker, so people can check for open tags, dead links and so on before they post.

RickyT, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Could this be the answer to my problems?
I use a Mac (badly), so I don't even know how to "view source."
My continual posting ineptitude feels like the web equivalent of bad breath.

Just seeing something

Sam, Monday, 18 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Does anyone read this? RIGHT how do I change the colour of JUST ONE LINK? No, I'm doing no work at all. Do I have to faff with CSS for this? Oy vey... aidez moi!

Sarah, Wednesday, 27 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Top of new answers, phew, please help! I've tried putting the link I want to be a different colour as H2 {color: silver) but it doesn't change anything - is this because it is a link and that overrides?!

This is my STYLE:


Sheesh!

Sarah, Wednesday, 27 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Oh tits. I forgot about the TAGS:

[STYLE TYPE="text/css"]
[!---
BODY { font-family: serif }
a:link { text-decoration: none }
H2 {font-family: sans-serif; color: silver }
-->
[/STYLE]

Sarah, Wednesday, 27 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

You wanna define a different class for yr mail to link. Something like:

a.mailtostyle {font-family: sans-serif; color: silver}

and then use it in yr link like this:

<a class="mailtostyle" href="mailto:starry@themoderninter.net"> mail me </a>

RickyT, Wednesday, 27 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

(just testing)

jel --, Wednesday, 27 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

and again

jel --, Wednesday, 27 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

why not just:
<A HREF="http://www.google.com"><FONT COLOUR="#ff0000">red link</FONT></A>

(hope this works)
red link

michael, Wednesday, 27 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

arse, needs US spelling

red link

michael, Wednesday, 27 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Oh aye, but I thought Sarah wanted to do it with stylesheets.

RickyT, Thursday, 28 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Oh, I thought you could only DO it with style sheets! I thought I was being rather complicated... ah well! Hopefully I'll have a vaguely neu atommick brane latXoR. Does anyone also know how to make visited links struck through? Can you just do that w/ stylesheets as well..?

Sarah, Thursday, 28 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Yup. Try:

a:visited {text-decoration: line-through}

I'd just stick with colour changes though. Does it really matter if links have already been clicked on?

RickyT, Thursday, 28 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I've changed the colour AND the strikethrough. Go and have a look! The AB has been haxx0red but... in a very CRAP WAY. In other words some DIFFERENT COLOURS and boring stuff. God I'm dull.

Sarah, Thursday, 28 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I like the strikethrough idea ("been there, done that") - ha ha I must NEVER visit Freaky Trigger ever again!

Jeff W, Thursday, 28 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

ahh ok, stylesheets, i thought it was just for ILx, and stylesheets seemed a bit extravagant. if you're using stylesheets, save them as a separate CSS file (rather than as STYLE tags in the page), and include it's URL in the HEAD object, then you can change the look of the whole site at once, without having to change each page individually.

michael, Thursday, 28 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

This is pretty cool. (if it works)

Sam, Thursday, 28 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Never mind then.

Sam, Thursday, 28 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

This is a REALLY good Java Script Generator. No need to master it yerself. Just ask and it will be given to you! Woohoo!

helenfordsdale, Sunday, 3 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Well bollox, I need to brush up my html skillzz. This is it: http://javascript.internet.com/generators/
Try this

helenfordsdale, Sunday, 3 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

sam - only glanced at the source, but is probably not working because of line breaks - Javascript treats end of line characters as the end of the statement, whether or not it has reached the semi-colon. it would probably work with more careful cutting and pasting

does my picture work for other people? I'm trying to get round the angelfire no linking to directory items rule.

jel --, Monday, 25 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Oh well...(nevermind, reloaded with the answer!)

jel --, Monday, 25 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I want to jump on the comments bandwagon! So I've tried to add something. It vaguely works. But in the bit where you are supposed to say 'hahaha sarah that was a really good and witty piece of writing about cheese and jay-z there' it comes up with a bit of COMPUTER LANGWIDGE wot you can delete... but why is it there? Will someone go haf a look and see if they can see why this may be?

Sarah, Thursday, 4 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Grrr rubbidge! I got this code from... urr.. here here here...

Sarah, Thursday, 4 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

It looks like the last closing <textarea> tag is missing its /

RickyT, Thursday, 4 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Why, thank you.

I'm looking to design a form that'll allow people who acess my site to write a message in the form and send it to me (i.e. a long message/set of info) via e-mail.

Is this v. difficult? What do I need to know about forms? What are CGI scripts and are they scary? Can anyone point me in the correct direction?
