    Ignoring transparent.gif spacers

    Ignoring transparent.gif spacers

    Yes, that does the trick. Thanks jpadie. I had not really taken in what you had explained in your first post. Sorry. Something that, as a self-taught nerd, I hadn't realised is that I could use the "http://localhost" url on the remote server. I had been thinking that "localhost" only referred to...

    Ignoring transparent.gif spacers

    So you think it is likely to be related to the tolerance of the older Apache. But I have tried your advice to no effect In this particular case the relevant code of the ssi required is: <h4 style="margin-top: 0;">Mental Health Information Service</h4> <p><img...

    Ignoring transparent.gif spacers

    Since recently installing the latest WAMP5 server group, which runs PHP 5.2.5, as my local testing server I have discovered that both Firefox 2.0.0.9 and Netscape9 (but not on IE7) fail to render the transparent.gifs that I have occasionally used as spacers in my text. The problem does not...

    The difficulty I am having here is that I receive the error message "You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1" but I can't see/tell which section of my code the error report refers to. The...

    php/MySQL error message

    Thanks. But as a greenhorn in the whole SQL/php world I need a bit more guidance here. (Up until now I've just let DW do the coding work for me) Perhaps and example of how I might use your echo($what_the_command_string_is); exit; code would help me over the next hump of ignorance. Steve...

    php/MySQL error message

    I am trying to find my way about php/MySQL as processed by DWMX2004. I have put together a couple of pages that (i) insert text data to a MySQL and (ii) edit that data. My pages work fine on my local WAMP5 server, but when I put the pages on to my remote server I hit a problem. The first page...

    Shortcut to Desktop

    One my previous PC (XP home)there was a v useful shortcut on the left hand side of the bottom of the screen, next to the Start buttom. With it I could, with one click, minimise all open windows and gain acces to my desktop shortcuts. How do I re-instate that with my new (XP Home) set-up? I...

    I have two installations of XP on my PC. One is on the Master Hdd. The other is on the first partition of a HDD that I have installed as Slave. Is is posible to boot up from this slave partition?

    IDE and SATA

    Thanks for the comments, folks. I have discovered that my M'board does not support SATA and so have invested in a IDE device, which is humming along nicely as I type. Thanks again Life...It's difficult not to take it personally. http://www.crab.org.uk http://www.hostinthepost.co.uk

    IDE or SATA?

    Thanks for saving me time, Freestone. Returning to the issue of actually choosing which drive to purchase, will drives that described as SATA simply not install on my system, or is it that they will fit but won't function any better than an ATA drive?

    Tinkering with the works. Swapping over HDDs

    I have inherited a PC with two HDDs (40GB as C:drive and a 60GB partitioned in 2 for file storage). C: runs XP although it is sluggish and a bit unstable because, I think, it has undergone quite a lot of changes and general abuse over the years. I would like to install a larger HDD and at the...
