Peter,
Thanks for the response.
I am on a Windows machine. I am using the version of VI that comes with cygwin. I have also looked at the file by dumping it out with od (also part of cygwin). Neither tool shows and funny characters.
I am also wondering, if my HTML goes through the validator with out any errors, does it really matter? Will it improve my search engine ranking?

No errors from the validator is good, but not essential by any means. I would guess that a majority of good working web pages would fail 'strict' validation in some way. Browsers are much more forgiving. (Just try one with unterminated lists, badly formed tables, etc. The browser makes a pretty good guess.)
Validation and search engine rankings are orthogonal - they have no correlation at all. I'm guessing the search ending scrapers are just as tolerant of malformed HTML.
Cheers,
Peter

Did you type the message in using Dreamweaver, or did you write the content in another app and paste it in? I ask because if you used a word processor sometimes it's hard to tell a special character from a similar regular character. For example, double and single curly quotation marks can look just like straight quotations marks when pasted into another app, but they'll mess things up every time.
Have you considered using the HTML 5 DOCTYPE? Might still give you the problem, but if you're making new pages why not make the break?

Hi,
Why I am getting this:
No Character encoding declared at document level
when validating my php file in dreamweaver?
Thanks,
Jassim

hey!!!
I know that!
I already have the:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
but it is populating from include.
I am only asking to check if it's something to do with lang type or if I have to add something to the DOCTYPE because when double clicking the warning in dreamwaver it goes to the DOCTYPE line

I'm developing a website for my company and have run into a formatting issue that I cannot resolve. I know different browser's can format the same page different ways, so from the start I had two different CSS files; one for Chrome and one for IE8. The webpage displays correctly on all the computers my office in Chrome. However on some computer the webpage is not displaying correctly in IE8.
All the computers are Windows XP SP2 running IE8. All the browsers are running in the same mode (Standards Mode). Some of the computer are running in different resolutions, however I tried all the resolution settings on each of the computer and the page still displays the same way.
The problem is I have a section of HTML wrapped in a tag called "page". In the CSS file for IE8 I have the following code:
#page
{
min-height: 100%;
margin-top: -388px;
left: 191px;
width: 1051px;
position: relative;
padding-left: 5px;
border: none 1px red;
z-index: 5;
}
Now on the computer where the page is not displaying properly, the "page" element in shifted upwards and I need to change the margin-top: -388px; to margin-top: -310px;. I can't figure out what the position is 70px different between computers with the same OS, browsers, and resolution. I was hoping that I can auto detect something and change the CSS in my code-behind, however they are all running the exact same version of IE, so I don't know what I could detect.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. We are supposed to go live the weekend, but my company wants this fixed and I just don't have an answer to why this is occur. Thanks in advance for any help.

P.S. I only have the border element so that way I could track the element during testing. When the site goes live the border will be removed.

Ensure that compatibility button in the address bar is not activated so that the page is render for IE 8 and not a previous version.

Hello everyone,
Could anyone tell me what are the technologies needed to build a client support software (which processes, organizes, manages client emails) from scratch? Examples of this type of products are: http://www.zendesk.com/[^], http://www.kayako.com/[^] or http://www.h2desk.com/[^]. I wonder if we can use CMS tools like Drupal or Joomla associated with PHP to realize a such project. Your answers will be very appreciated.
Many thanks.

You can use any of present day technologies like .net, java, php, sharepoint. Depending up on time line you choose your technology. Drupal or Joomla with php are pretty good. Please check security and performance as main constrains while take such projects.

I am sure you know that when sending an email to windows live it will now show the pictures but it will instead display the following message in the alert bar:
Attachments, pictures and links in this message have been blocked for your safety.
However, I have seen some emails coming from some domains and I didn't need to do anything to display the images as it was displayed automatically.
How can I make sure emails going from my domain will be display the images automatically without showing the notification bar?

Hi,
I just try to place a flash file in my site, but I see I get the 404 error.
I have looked for the flash file on the server and it exist, so I don't thinks it's the issue.
I attach the code, and the error as well.
The code:
<pre lang="HTML">
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="480" height="430" id="move3" align="middle" viewastext>
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="/FilesDB/View3D/Movie_objID_3426_typeID_5.swf?NoCashe=1570316002" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#989866" />
<embed src="/FilesDB/View3D/Movie_objID_3426_typeID_5.swf?NoCashe=1570316002"
quality="high"
bgcolor="#989866"
width="480"
height="430"
name="move3"
align="middle"
allowscriptaccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
/>
</object>
</pre>
The error:
GET http://www.loveandpride.com/FilesDB/View3D/Movie_objID_3426_typeID_5.swf?NoCashe=1570316002 404 (Not Found)
Hope you can help me...

Because Cache is spelled wrong?
|
|
|
|
|
Nice attempt  but spelling is not the issue. I found the real problem - it was the swf file on the server. The file was hidden, and when I unchecked the hidden checkbox, it got to work fine.
You think that there is a chance that the file was hidden deliberately ?
|
|
|
|
|
Hard to do it accidentally, unless they meant for it to be read-only and checked the wrong box.
Or many company policy forbids media files and someone was sneaky...
|
|
|
|
|
my question is if it's possible to display a hidden flash file. is there a way to do it?
|
|
|
|
|
Probably not. Microsoft says they did it that way on purpose: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216803[^]
I wonder if logging into the server as the IIS account (if you can find or set the password), and setting "Show Hidden Files" in explorer would do it... I don't know.

Hi,
I want to ask about the Robot meta tag?
What's your best practice? is it better to:
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow">
or:
<meta name="robots" content="all">
which i guess it's the default?
|
|
|
|
|
Perhaps read through this: The Web Robots Pages[^]

but are there any pages I should avoid using this tag with it?

I don't understand the question here??
are you asking if you should use it and if so what pages?? if so then my response would be that you use it for web pages where you don't want a web crawler indexing that page. I don't know your content and as such that is really a question only you can answer or someone in your group who is playing the role of an SEO.
as if the facebook, twitter and message boards weren't enough - blogged

|

|

so you mean I will NOT include it in a page which I want it to be indexed by the search engine and ONLY inlcude it as NO INDEX if I don't it be index by search engine?
this means search engine will by default crawl the pages?
