I believe that I'm not getting responses because we are supposed to discuss only Microsoft
Technologies here and not open source.

If that's the case, then I guess I'll have to ask elsewhere. Frown | :(

Mate PHP is a much better way to start of with web languages. If you need guidance in it just send me an email.

But I've been told that raw CGI with C (or python for that matter) can be
180% percent faster than PHP, and near about 350% faster than ASP.

Then why should I learn PHP just for the sake of programming simplicity?
I agree it's an easy way, but end clients wouldn't care whether it's PHP
or Ruby on Rails doing the work.

For them, it's about speed and reliability. And regarding the aspect of
difficulty: The term 'easy/better language' is bs, if you'll excuse the
expression.

Any language is easy as long as you are playing with ints and designing
nice games of tic-tac-toe. When you want full fledged concurrency control
techniques to handle a pool of persitent connections, or low level control
and deep operating system hooks, it will get complex in any language. Anyone
who argues with that is a moron.

So I might as well start with something which can scale up to millions of
documents and provide blazing fast performance, fast enough to leave ASP, PHP
JSP and the likes eating dust. Suspicious | :suss:

Peace.

Drop-down menu written in Javascript not working in IE6

13-Feb-07 20:27

The stats you have seen are rubbish. As of PHP 5 it can run just as fast 95% of the time. An example of it in use is Google and YouTube and Flickr, The last two in particular are an excellent example of extremely high load applications in the language.

Not to mention I can code an application in PHP within 200 lines that would take over a thousand in CGI languages. PHP is optimized for power as a server side application, and it's customization allows you to write your own functions that are compiled into the core compiler with little more then 50 lines.

PHP is certainly a major player in the web and is widely accepted for it's incredibly speed and reliability.

Hi all,

I have a drop down menu that's written in JS. It's working on IE7, Opera, and FireFox. But when i test it on IE6 i found that it's not working. i don't know why. there's no error occured, it just disabled. I checked security settings and aslo JS in enabled but i don't know why it doesn't work Frown | :(

Here is the JS

sfHover = function()
{
if (document.all && document.getElementById)
{
sfEls = document.getElementById("nav");
for (i=0; i < sfEls.childNodes.length; i++)
{
node = sfEls.childNodes[i];
if (node.nodeName=="LI")
{
node.onmouseover=function()
{
this.className+=" over";
this.getElementsByTagName("UL")[0].style.visibility="visible"
}
node.onmouseout=function()
{
this.className=this.className.replace(" over", "");
this.getElementsByTagName("UL")[0].style.visibility="hidden"
}
}
}
}
} window.onload=sfHover;

I'm trying to get my wordpress working right. I want to add the Search function, and maybe a Categories function if possible. I was told code_frog or Christian could help me, cause the dabble in WordPress??

http://blogs.wickedorange.com/andrew/

Heres the code which works:

<div id="header"></div>
<div id="container">
<ul id="nav">
<li<?php if (is_home()) echo " id=\"current\""; ?>><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>" title="home"><span>home</span></a></li>

Here's the code i added, which doesn't work...

<li>
<a href="?paged_id=110">
<span>
.NET Search
</span>
</a>
</li>

</ul>

</ul><br/>

What do you mean? What happens when you use that bit of code?

Well, the .NET Search button doesn't show as selected when on that page.
How would I do an If url = someurl in php?

Also, what is the link for the search page in wordpress?

When I need to do php stuff inside html, I build the string and then echo it.

<?php

$strHtml  = "<div id=\"header\"></div>";
$strHtml .= "<div id=\"container\">";
$strHtml .= "<ul id=\"nav\">";
$strHtml .= "<li ";
if (is_home()) 
{
    $strHtml .= "id=\"current\"";
}
$strHtml .= ">"
$strHtml .= get_settings('home');
$strHtml .= " title=\"home\">home</a>";
$strHtml .= "</li>";

$strHtml .= "<li>";
$strHtml .= "<a href=\"?paged_id=110\">.NET Search</a>";
$strHtml .= "</li>";
$strHtml .= "</ul>";
$strHtml .= "</div>";

echo $strHtml;
?>

You also have an extra /ul and were missing a /div...

File Input in my Language

Just to be the little nit picker I am, echo'ing text takes 1/4 more time then leaving it outside of PHP tags. Usefull fact when printing over 1,000,000 records.

I am affraid it's not possible - but I might be wrong so if someone knows some solution I'll be happy to know as well.

Drop-down menu written in Javascript not working in Firefox

Hi,

I am working on an expandable left-side menu using Javascript. It has three level. While it works fine in IE, the submenus could not be opened in Firefox. Anyone knows why??

The function I used to open the topTreeMenu is like:

function openTopTree(n)
{
var item_cel=document.getElementById('topTreeTable').cells[2*n+1];
if(item_cel.innerHTML=="")
{
closeTopTree();
treeImg[n].src="../images/redarrow3.png";
switch(n)
{
case 0 : {item_cel.innerHTML=item00_all;break;}
case 1 : {item_cel.innerHTML=item01_all;break;}
case 2 : {item_cel.innerHTML=item02_all;break;}
case 3 : {item_cel.innerHTML=item03_all;break;}
case 4 : {item_cel.innerHTML=item04_all;break;}
case 5 : {item_cel.innerHTML=item05_all;break;}
case 6 : {item_cel.innerHTML=item06_all;break;}

}
}
else
closeTopTree();
}

But in Firefox Javascript console, the browser says "document.getElementById('topTreeTable').cells[2*n+1] has no properties". Anyone knows why and how to fix it??

Thanks a lot!
