The general idea is an opt-in email system that lets people create ads in certain categories and select categories that they want to receive up-dates from when new ads are posted. I also want users to have to select at least 2 categories to receive postings from.
All ads will be approved by a person before being added to next round of emails being sent. I need to build the site, set up systems to collect and organize emails, eventually in-corporate a payment system if and when a lot of people start using it, and...program the site to respond to certain restrictions or conditions.
I have no clue where to begin, I was apprehensive about putting my idea out here  but I just want to try to build it and see what happens.. advice on what exactly i need to learn to do these tasks would be awesome. i am not concerned with appearance nearly as much as functionality.
Thanks!

Possibly an unhelpful answer, but factually accurate.

Firstly, make sure you fully understand the law with regards to the American Can Spam Act (and the international equivalents).
Make sure you discover and understand your requirements by doing the necessary analysis. This should give you very good clues as to the functionality required. If need be, get a good mind mapping tool (Freemind for example) so that any unstructured thoughts can be put to good use.
Database : consider those discovered requirements and normalize.
Frameworks : Look at ASP.NET and the various PHP frameworks and establish which might be a better fit.
Although functionality is important, appearance is also important. Something that looks ugly will not attract customers easily

A lot depends on your budget. You are going to have to host this thing somewhere. Your hosting account will require space for the site, space for the graphics in the ads and a database to record preferences. Space probably won't be a concern since most hosting packages offer more than most people would ever need. The database and how big that is will be the thing that is more important. You will probably want to talk to your host about your idea since mass e-mails can get a host blacklisted so taht no mail from them goes anywhere and they may have certain guidelines to follow.
Hosts usually fall into one of two categories, LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) or Microsoft. Typically Microsoft hosting is more expensive.
If you want to go the MS route you can download Microsft
Visual Web Developer Express[^]. I don't know what toolset people typically use for PHP other than notepad, but I am sure there are free tools out there.

Hi All,
I'm a nube to PHP but have done some VB scripting so thought I'd try this...
I am trying to get table information from our print servers, we have 5 all use the Microsoft Internet Printing system, which uses IIS to generate a page populated with that servers printer information through a ASP generated web page (google IPP_0001.asp) to to see the code...
My problem is that I want to extract the table information from each of the print servers (there are 5) collate all the tables into one uber table and then perform a search on that uber table to only show printers within a specific area... a standardised formatted area being one of the tables columns for each printer entry.
I have the code to perform the searches and generate the final page, but I'm struggling to generate an array populated with the html table info.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get an array populated with Html table and then displayed..
thanks in advance.

Hi all.,
I hosted an website and it is working fine if i open using HTTP://www.mydomain.com. But the problem is.... if i open the website using HTTPs://www.mydomain.com, it is redirecting to some other website.

Talk to your web hoster. Perhaps they are running a different web server on port 80 and 443, the secure web service is either missconfigured or not set up for your domain name.

Do you have a certificate? Even if your host sets up the server to respond to https for your site, if you don't have an SSL cert then your users will get errors when they go to the https site.

Thanks & Regards,

I don't know if this can be done directly but I have a work around for this.
Here is a sample code. You need to edit a few things to work for your requirement.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Auto-expand SELECT</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
function ExpandSelect( intSize ) {
document.getElementById('MySelect').size=intSize;
}
</script>
<style>
.blocker {
position: absolute;
margin-top: -4px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
padding: 5px 5px;
background: #FFFFCC no-repeat -10px 5px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<b>Please choose a number:</b>
<div class="blocker">
<select onFocus="ExpandSelect(7);" onBlur="ExpandSelect(1);"
onChange="ExpandSelect(1);" name="MySelect" size="1" id="MySelect">
<option value="1" selected>One</option>
<option value="2">Two</option>
<option value="3">Three</option>
<option value="4">Four</option>
<option value="5">Five</option>
<option value="6">Six</option>
<option value="7">Seven</option>
</select>
</div>
<p> The select box should float over this text
</body>
</html>
But it's not on Enter click.
Does the drop down open up if you press enter anytime/anywhere in the form - in that case call the function on load of the body.
Does the drop down open up if you press enter when the focus is on some control - in that case call the function on key down event of that control.
In both cases, you need to check if 'Enter click' was pressed or not.
That is done using:
if(event.keyCode==13) { }
Another important thing is you need to know the size of the drop-down list.
Do some edits as instructed and you will be able to do what you want.
Hope it helps!
..Go Green..

Use the jquery frame work.
trigger the click event on that select box.
search in google as jquery trigger
it is very simple to include.

Following code will track the enter event on combobox, I do not know
how to expand combobox.
<script language="JavaScript">
function onenter()
{
var evt=window.event;
var Ucode=evt.keyCode? evt.keyCode : evt.charCode
if(Ucode==13)
alert("enter tracked");
}
</script>
<select onkeypress="onenter();">
<option value="1" selected>One</option>
<option value="2">Two</option>
<option value="3">Three</option>
<option value="4">Four</option>
<option value="5">Five</option>
<option value="6">Six</option>
<option value="7">Seven</option>
</select>
Hope this will help!

Hallo!
I have such code in to the .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on<br />
RewriteBase /<br />
<br />
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /one1<br />
RewriteRule ^[^.]*$ for_one.php [L]<br />
<br />
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /two2<br />
RewriteRule .* for_two.php [L]
Here every thing works as it should be:
test.ru/one1 => for_one.php
test.ru/two2 => for_two.php
But when I exclude second RewriteCond every thing breakes:
I call /one1 it return me for_two.php
RewriteEngine on<br />
RewriteBase /<br />
<br />
<br />
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /one1<br />
RewriteRule ^[^.]*$ for_one.php [L]<br />
<br />
RewriteRule .* for_two.php [L]
test.ru/one1 => for_two.php
Nevertheless it must work: first RewriteCond is true and there is [L] flag after RewriteRule, so the Rewriting process must stop!
Why [L] flag dose not work?
Why the rewriting process dose not stop?
Here is text from apache manual:
Stop the rewriting process here and don't apply any more rewrite rules. This corresponds to the Perl last command or the break command in C. Use this flag to prevent the currently rewritten URL from being rewritten further by following rules. Remember, however, that if the RewriteRule generates an internal redirect (which frequently occurs when rewriting in a per-directory context), this will reinject the request and will cause processing to be repeated starting from the first RewriteRule.
Maybe here Internal-Redirection happened? but what is this, and how it could happend? I did not call Redirect flag [R].
Or internal Redirection is alway when using .htacess files?....

Hi guys,
I'm currently experiencing a strange phenomenon.
I have a user-control which allows the user to add data into a list on clicking on the OK Button.
On the page where I use this control all works fine.
However, now I need to have a second page where i need to enter the same data. So I wanted to re-use the control.
The control is shown but when I click on the OK button no event is trigger, nothing happens?
I have put a break point in the PageLoad of the user-control, but it doesn't event get there.
It seems like that the event if any is missing at all, althought that the html (client-side) code is the same.
Does anyone have a thought, or knows a reason why this could happen?
Thx,
Kurt

can you provide more detail ??
Like what type of control you are using, custom control, user control, etc.....
And what exactly you want on second page that is not happened after you copy
control and code from first page. (Which is working on first page)

Thanks for the reaction.
I'm using controls designed by DevXpress, so i did a search on there forums as well. While there I stumble onto a similar problem. The problem could lay in a databinding control which could prevent events from firing.
This second page exists out of a tab control with 4 pages. When I remove the 2 last pages the control starts working. So my best guess is that one off the bindings onto those pages misbehave.
Thanks anyway

Got it working.
Image name was different by a capital letter!
I have a css that reads like this...
div.boxedtext2
{
border-right:navy thin solid;
padding-right:25px;
border-top:navy thin solid;
padding-left:25px;
float:left;
padding-bottom:25px;
margin:0px 25px 15px 0px;
border-left:navy thin solid;
padding-top:25px;
border-bottom:navy thin solid;
width:848px;
height:300px;
background-color:#ffd0fc;
background-image: url('images/tardis.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center
}
.onmouse:hover
{
background-image:url('images/tardis2.jpg');
}
.onmouse
{
}
I am calling it under <div class="boxedtext2 onmouse">
I am getting the first image on first appearance, but not the second image on mouse over.

Good that you got it sorted. Did any of those PDF's I sent you help, or did they muddy the water? And did you download that "TopStyle Lite" application I recommended? If not, go get it from here http://topstyle.en.softonic.com/download[^] It helps you visualize styles without the webpage getting in-the-way.

I sent them to my home machine, but not had a chance to look at them too hard, but I have a long weekend coming up in which to get some serious learning done.

It seems you want to pass the client's network credentials in your call to the service. See this[^] article.
