Hi, I'm not sure exactly where to place this since it sort of spans HTML, CSS, Javascript, and PHP; but since AJAX is basically based around Javascript, I'll try here: So my problem is that I want to use AJAX to update cells of a table. Basically I have a table with 15 columns and 3 rows. What...

Hi, I'm still working on an Ajax application that involved the use of a menu item (I think it's just a combo box with multiple items or something). The problem I have is that after double clicking an item and through Javascript setting it's "selected" attribute to false, there remains a faint...

Hi, I have an application (AJAX) that uses a menu (just a multi element select box). But I have two problems: 1. There is a (dead) scrollbar on the right side that I can't get to go away (overflow:hidden doesn't work (which I kind of expected)) 2. When the list gets down to one element (the...

Hi, I have an AJAX application with a div called "floating" that contains a menu and the div is only visible at certain times. Here is my problem: I want it to disappear whenever someone clicks on the background, any form elements, or basically anywhere EXCEPT that menu box and one specific...

Hi, I'm having a bit of an issue with a JS/HTML page that I can't think of any solution to. Basically the way this page is designed (I can't post a link to it as its not online), it has a lot of form elements in a small area. Now, in Firefox when you highlight text it highlights text and...

Hi, another one. I've got a text area that I want to word wrap properly using CSS (HTML isn't valid to do this anymore). This is the behaviour I want: DO NOT word wrap unless someone hits enter. I can do this in HTML, but I'd rather it be valid. Thanks, Graeme

Hi, I've got a bunch of radio buttons with labels. The thing is that the radio button seems a little high compared to the label (they are not vertically alligned perfectly). I've tried CSS but gotten no where, although I'm probably doing something wrong. Any ideas? Thanks, Graeme

Hi, the last of three validation problems I'm having. I have a page with some Javascript, and this Javascript has a String declaration along the lines of: word = "the word \"this\" is in quotations". For it to work correctly, I need the escape character, but the validator gives me the...

Hi, I have a textarea that I want to turn wordwrap OFF (it should only wrap when someone hits enter, otherwise the line could go on as long as someone wishes). In trying to get the code valid, Strict XHTML doesn't like wrap="off". Is there a CSS property that will work similarily? Thanks, Graeme

Hi I currently have some HTML code which I pasted below (there is more to it, but those are the relevent parts). I want to get valid strict XHTML, and it does not like the target="_blank", so someone suggested using Javascript and an onclick. The problem being that the action happens in the...

Hi, I'm getting the error I posted below. Basically in XHTML Strict, it doesn't seem to like the target="_blank". It says I need to use Transitional (which I don't want to). Generally attributes that only Transitional allows are supposed to be fixed using CSS, but I can't figure out a way to do...

Hi, I have a small problem. I have a floating frame (by frame I just mean an "id" specified area) that goes over top of everything else, so because of this I had to put position:absolute;. Now this cancels out the other propery, margin: 0 auto; that is supposed to automatically center the...

Yet another question. After this though I should be done (well maybe one more question, but that's it). Anyways, basically I've got a floating inner frame. This is working great, but it always shows up in the same spot, which kind of defeats the point of it being floating. I have an idea of...

Hi, another question: I have the following code: var url = "http://www.google.ca"; document.getElementById("external").src=url; "external" is just an iframe. So all this does is load google in an internal frame. Now the thing is what I want to load inside this frame isn't an actual pre...

I'm working on some Javascript embedded in an HTML file that is organized using CSS. Now this seems to make it act really funny. For one thing, the document.write() writes to a new page instead of the current one. (it works fine for the page loading, but if you have an onclick with a...

Hi: I'm making a site that has a table and whenever someone scrolls over a cell there should be a pop up. I got it working by using the onmouseover to call a function. It's in the function that I'm not sure what I should do. I want a pop up window with a two row table inside of it, but there's...

Okay one more question (hopefully the last one). Here's the command I'm using: qx{mysql -h localhost -u pingbase -fGGfGGf pingbase -e "update servers set last_status = current_status where name = $server; update servers set current_status = 1 where name = $server; update servers set updated =...

Hi: I'm new to Perl and I'm using the command: system('/usr/sbin/ping '.$servername) where $servername is the name of what I'm trying to ping. It works fine, but the output goes to the screen, and I want it to go to a a varialbe $result. I can put: $result = system('/usr/sbin/ping...
