http://qpost.com/my/advice/tlgalenson I am a long time amateur and sometimes for pay ComputerPhile. en-us Your queston is a little too concise for me. I think your trying to ask if you can use mailto: as part of an include and/or a standard footer? Yes. The include command will be language (eg. .asp etc) or server dependent or something similar. In FrontPage 2002 there is a include command that is not dependent on the Front Page Server Extensions. I believe it does the includes on the editor. Other includes are dependent upon how the server processes the html or .asp or .aspx or .php pages. tlgalenson Sun, 13 Apr 2008 16:43:40 +0000 http://qpost.com/q/email_generation_using_mailto 56 I am an oldtime bulletinboard sysop. Transfer speeds for downloads were a big deal when dialup connection speeds were slow. Files sizes are usually in bytes/kilo bytes so you can guess how long it will take by looking at the size and dividing. I don't remember if we commonly used bytes when describing modem connection speeds. A 56k modem was connecting (in theory) at speeds upto 56,000 bits/second. Although 42k was more common (and still is). When LAN's came along they did their connection speeds in bits not bytes. A reasonable conversion is 10 bits to the byte. This gives you an approximation of one into the other. What I can't tell you is if that is some formal institutional thing that caused this. tlgalenson Sun, 13 Apr 2008 16:39:07 +0000 http://qpost.com/q/transfer_speed_and_connection_speed 55 I just looked on the internet via the seach engine dogpile.com. Apparently winmail.dat is a outlook format file that is attached to e-mail messages that are not being sent in plain text format. There is a way to read them. From:http://facstaff.gpc.edu/~jbenson/resource/winmail.htm ...One solution to the problem is to visit http://www.biblet.com and download the WMDecode program found there (look about halfway down the page). This will at least allow you to decode the winmail.dat files and extract any useful attachments from them.... tlgalenson Sun, 13 Apr 2008 16:26:53 +0000 http://qpost.com/q/winmail2_dat 54 I see I didn't answer you "how much can I make" question. I apologize. Your income can vary all over the place. High end designers and developers can command over $100,000 USD a year. But they have skills and experience far beyond mine or yours. ASP .Net is very popular for website developers. You can get free training from Microsoft on that. The trick is getting that first couple of years of full time experience knowledge. That is why I pointed you to guru and jim smith. To get a feel for the job market you can use www.dice.com or www.careerbuider.com and search for jobs with kee words like software developer or .net tlgalenson Sun, 13 Apr 2008 16:19:55 +0000 http://qpost.com/q/how_much_can_i_make_as_a_full_time 53 Perhaps this will help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization tlgalenson Sun, 13 Apr 2008 16:10:39 +0000 http://qpost.com/q/how_to_improve_search_engine_ranking 52 Are you a designer or a developer? A designer does the interface and a developer does the programming. Everyone has various strengths. Microsoft is offering free web developer training with free express editions of Visual studio. I recommend you get "How to start a home-based Web Design Business" by Jim Smith. I believe its in the 3rd edition now. This book will give you a feel for what you may want to do to try out the profession on a part-time/fulll-time basis. I recommend www.w3schools.com and www.guru.com as excellent resources. w3schools provides a huge amount of free training. guru has a free basic membership where you can bid on projects. If your not a member of the International Webmasters Association I would join it. It has excellent courses where you get a live teacher (unlike w3schools) would can provide advice, feedback etc. tlgalenson Sun, 13 Apr 2008 16:06:33 +0000 http://qpost.com/q/how_much_can_i_make_as_a_full_time 51 It sounds like you need to convert the business from any kind of partnership into something else. You didn't mention who put up the capital to start the business. If it was your other "owners" and you didn't then I can see how they would act like owners instead of workers. It almost sounds like you need to do a complete re-work of the company's vision/sop etc and then sell it to the other owners. Failing that I would consider getting up and taking the customers with you after you talk with a small business lawyer and other business consultants.. It all depends on how well you like your family. I would consult with a small business specialist lawyer. One who works on a LOT of small business activities. tlgalenson Sun, 13 Apr 2008 15:55:50 +0000 http://qpost.com/q/legal_recourse 50 Looks like there is a "border=x" command in the list of parameters you use to define an image map. If you make the x larger than 0 you may get what your looking for. If your using a reasonably powerful WYSIWYG html (Frontpage/Dreamweaver/Nvu etc) editor it may even add a border for you if you want it to. A great resource is www.w3schools.com . tlgalenson Sun, 13 Apr 2008 15:47:46 +0000 http://qpost.com/q/image_map 49 "Please help me in designing that form so it looks beautiful." Is too nebulous. I suggest you create a serious of versions perhaps using several pages since having all that on one page will make it look pretty "busy." Then try them out on naive and experienced users. Write down all their comments. Make changes and try it out on a new set of users. A really good book is "Don't make me think" by Steve Krug. I have the 2nd edition. (ISBN 0-321-34475-8) Published by "New Riders" tlgalenson Sun, 13 Apr 2008 15:40:44 +0000 http://qpost.com/q/designing_a_form 48 If the above doesn't help it sounds like you need a business consultant to help you work on communications with him. tlgalenson Sun, 13 Apr 2008 15:33:34 +0000 http://qpost.com/q/business_partner_problem 47 You might want to test your webpages in multiple web browsers. Expecially IE and Foxfire. If you can create the page simply to a lowest common denominator then you have to start writing Javascript to discover when web browser your loaded into and then use that information to "correct" the page to display it the way you want it to. Before you do that, convert as much of the webpage as you can to CSS controlled display and see if that helps. tlgalenson Sun, 13 Apr 2008 15:30:53 +0000 http://qpost.com/q/mac_vs_pc_webpage_appearance 46 Since your doing this for a specific group or committee I would get specific guidance on the form and layout they want. You can also review "Public management practices" research and see how they measure and report the outcomes. Trying to figure out how to measure outcomes is crucial. From your question it sounds like your talking about "Public Administration" or the "how to get it done and measure it" after the policy has been created. This is the area that both opinion pollsters and political scientists work in. tlgalenson Sun, 13 Apr 2008 15:26:36 +0000 http://qpost.com/q/public_management_practices 45 If your trying to avoid spam harvesting one common trick is to make the address an image file. People can still see the address but software can't easily read it. Another trick is to put some bogus information into the address that a human can easily spot like: tlgalenson at yahoo dot com tlgalenson Sun, 13 Apr 2008 15:21:27 +0000 http://qpost.com/q/hide_domain_32 44 You might also start working through wwwdotgurudotcom which has extensive contract / payroll stuff. tlgalenson Sun, 13 Apr 2008 15:18:25 +0000 http://qpost.com/q/deadbeat_clients 43 Javascript in and of itself is not (based on what I think I know) sufficient for a shopping cart. You will need something like Php, Asp, Asp .net or Perl to do a shopping cart. The problem is Javascript by itself doesn't include the power to read/write to a database which is usually needed for a "shopping cart." There are simple javascript buttons available from Paypal and some other sources if your doing something very simple. Paypal also has some "shopping carts" you can copy. There are opensource/free Php/Sql shopping carts. Hope this helps. tlgalenson Sun, 13 Apr 2008 15:15:48 +0000 http://qpost.com/q/shopping_cart 42 Webpages will normally flow down. You have to use tables or css positioning to keep them from flowing down. Perhaps I am not understanding the question. Could you talk some more about what your trying to do? tlgalenson Sun, 13 Apr 2008 15:10:37 +0000 http://qpost.com/q/help_me_plz 41 If you only have a little text then just retyping it is pretty reasonable. If you have a lot of text you need to locate an "Optical Character Reader" program and run the images through it. The best still require you to do a spell check and copy edit the results. I haven't done this recently so I have no idea what the brand/names of good choices now are. There maybe other ways to do this that I haven't heard of. tlgalenson Sun, 13 Apr 2008 15:06:26 +0000 http://qpost.com/q/convertion_of_jpeg_text_to_doc_text 40 While you should learn xml and xhtml I would study JavaScript and CSS next. The basic 3 legs of a website are made of up of html, javascript and css. You will find out that many things can be done with simple javascript that make your website more usable. You will find out that css can now replace many of the things that we used to use javascript and images (various buttons for menus) for. Don't forget that you need a little knowledge about how to display and edit images. A good free website is at: www.w3schools.com tlgalenson Sun, 13 Apr 2008 15:01:27 +0000 http://qpost.com/q/xml_vs_xhtml 39
