I Have a Yahoo Merchant Solutions Web Site and need the HTML Script….?

I Have a Yahoo Merchant Solutions Web Site and need the HTML Script to show I am "Online Now", "Send me a Instant Message". I had it on my last web site and I lost the HTML script. I have Yahoo IM where the messages come in. Thanks :)

On your messenger main window. On the menu, click Messenger. From the drop down box click on My pingox. A browser window opens up linking to yahoo messenger pingbox page. On that page after loading, click on add ping box to web site. Then you will get the code.

If you have any problem you can IM me on yahoo messenger. My id is grvictorjohnson


Any web developers work on Windows Vista?

I am a freelance web programmer and considering to get a new machine with Vista installed. I hear many compatibility issues though.

These are the programs I must be able to run on.

IIS web server with multiple websites (on Ultimate I read so)
SQL Server 2005 (2000 possible ?)
MySQL 4.1
VS.NET
Zend Studio
Photoshop

Do any web developers/programmers successfully work on Windows Vista? Want to hear some experiences. Links to the issues will also be appreciated.

SQL Server 2005 and VS.NET work fine for me, I never got mySQL to work correctly, but I think its mostly me not setting it up correctly. With SQL Server, MySQL, and Oracle Express running all at once, I was required to push my machine to 2Gb of RAM. I did not run multiple websites, so I don’t know how that will work out for you.


Who should I turn to for affordable and reliable web hosting of a student design portfolio created in Flash? ?

I graduate in May 2009, and I want to stand out against the competition!

I recommend one of these: http://www.hosttell.com/

Powweb is on a 50% sale – $3.88/month ($46.56/year), and you get a free domain from them.

Godaddy doesn’t offer a free domain, but you can get one for $2.19 if you’re buying hosting from them, plus they also have a 20% sale at the moment.


My Website hosting company wants to terminate our contract.?

I signed up with a local website company to design and host my new ecommerce website. In the contract it states they would manage it, update, market, and give me email accounts. I choose the option they gave me to be somewhat partners to absorb the cost of the website. In return I needed to pay then 15% of my sales until a certain amount was obtained then it would go down to 5%.
Since my website opened in 07 (and paying my 3500), I fought with them to get it online. It went up in May 07 but still needed a bunch of changes to the look. As months went by, they put me on the backburner and did not complete my web design nor helped with marketing, SEO and etc. Now since my website has not made much or any money he wants to terminate the contract we signed. Although I paid ofr my SSL renewal he has not rewnewed it on my website and now it gives an error to my potential customers.
Can he do this? Is he bound to fulfill his 3 year contract? Please Help.

They cannot just cancel the contract unless it is so stated in the contract (and I’d bet that it is)

It sounds like you were ripped off from the word go. -is that $3500 you paid?(not yen?) Do you get any of that money back?

my ecommerce website was designed by samwilson3d.com
go to http://www.samwilson3d.com
there is a list of recommended ecommerce hosts there for under $6 per month; domain name is included and they all offer a file manager for easy upload These are probably some of the best offers on the web

also, they only charged me $375 to design my website:
http://www.simplycharmin.com and that seems very reasonable compaired to other quotes I received


Question for web developers or people who know about creating websites?

I am creating a website Frontpage and i cant figure out how to do something. I want to create something so when a user places the cursor over an advertisment for example it will expand revealing more details but when the cursor is taken off the advertisment it will shrink back to its orginal size. How would i go about doing this?

you need to do a couple things to do this (mostly because IE and others don’t follow the same rules, IE ignores most of the standards).

The best way to do it would be to use AJAX, there are many impimentations that hide these differences. I am currently using Dojo (http://www.dojotoolkit.org/ ) but yahoo also has an implimentation (among others).

The actual way to do this depends on how that extra information is aquired. If you just want to use two images with more info in the second, you just need to use a roll over –
<a href="link.html"><img src="img1.jpg" onmouseover=" this.src = ‘img2.jpg’;" onmouseout=" this.src = ‘img2.jpg’;" /> </a>
