Hi,

In the beginning days of SAF, around 7 years ago, we used to have a forum dedicated to Webmastering and HTML Articles/Tutorials. That 'era' has come and gone now. But I've decided to sort of 'revitalize' it again.

So, from time to time I'll be contributing a few articles for inclusion here at SAF. I also encourage others who are versed in Webmastering and HTML to do the same.

To start this off, here's one (quite popular based on page hits at my site)...

How to stream music or audio from your website

Here's another (this code has been asked for numerous times, so I'm providing it here)...

How to create an Automated Jukebox

And here's one more...

Tips on Winning the SE Wars

And another...

Web safe hexadecimal colors for use in HTML code within web pages

As I indicated above, I also encourage others who are versed in Webmastering and HTML to submit/provide articles/tutorials for inclusion at SAF. Don't concern yourself with formatting your submissions to include the current SAF site layout and design. I'll take care of that for you. You will also be given full credit for your submission(s).

Please post your submission(s) within your replies in this thread.

Take care!
Tom

Hi...

OK. Here is a
picture of me...
Or is it???
A picture of me. What's so special about it?

LOOKS LIKE ME... BUT IS IT?

I will tell you right now that the name of the image that you see above is in fact, phzzz.gif, and does in fact exist as that filename.

But... right-click on the above image now, and either view it's properties, or attempt to save the image as.... HUH??? WHAT??? Why the heck does it reveal itself as a blank image when right-clicked on and viewed or saved? Why does it want to be saved with a different filename - phzzz-fakeout.gif??

OK. This is what can be referred to as a TABLE Transparency Fakeout. Please click the below link now for a fully detailed explanation/tutorial on why this is happening and how you can accomplish the same thing for your own image(s)...

This is one of the 'original' articles, rewritten to include the current SAF site layout and design...

Stopping site visitors from stealing your images

Take care!
Tom

Get rid of the annoying Security Information bar in Internet Explorer

When developing Web pages at home, I'll often get that highly annoying "To protect your security...." yellow information bar come up when testing pages that contain active content such as JavaScript.

For example, copy and paste the contents of this code box into a Notepad session and save it to your Desktop with a name such as "test.htm" (and be sure to change the file type from .txt to All Files *.*):
CODE
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title>osjasoajosa</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
<!--
document.writeln("JavaScript on");
-->
</script>
<noscript>
<a href="www.google.com">Google</a>
</noscript>
</body>
</html>


When you run it in IE by double-clicking on it, you'll see what I mean (unless you've turned the option off in the Options).

If this is annoying to you, then all you have to do is add a comment into the header section that tells IE that the page has been downloaded off the web:

CODE
<!-- saved from url=(0022)http://www.domain.com/ -->


Thus the page looks like this:

CODE
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<!-- saved from url=(0022)http://www.domain.com/ -->
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title>osjasoajosa</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
<!--
document.writeln("JavaScript on");
-->
</script>
<noscript>
<a href="www.google.com">Google</a>
</noscript>
</body>
</html>


and when you run that, Voila!!!! No more annoying Information bar. The "(0022)" is the length of the URL, as "http://www.domain.com/" is 22 characters long.

There is another way, and that's to upload it to the web and run it using its URL. I know - IE clearly thinks that you're more likely to compromise your own security by running Web pages you've created yourself and have stored locally than you are by running them from the Web smile.gif

The title is just any old rubbish my fingers landed on - it's not code for anything biggrin.gif

Wow Angus! That's a really great tip/trick! thumb up.gif

So, guys/gals...

Do you think that maybe we should move this to the Webmastering and HTML Articles, Tips & Tricks sticky thread and keep it there as a great tip/trick?

Go for it, Tom thumb up.gif

I ran across it while working on a Web page, and I want to write a PHP function that will output HTML/JavaScript, and want to get the code right before I end up writing a PHP script that generates rubbish DHTML. So I created this minimal example and brought it here in the hope that some folk might find it useful smile.gif
