[12:09] <PAB`> hmm
[12:27] <cytraL> i have a <form> that submits in firefox but not ie, anyone know what i
[12:37] <Arrakis> cytraL, did you validate the page?
[12:38] <Arrakis> how complex is the page? lots of javascript upon form validation? etc
[12:38] <cytraL> i did validate it
[12:38] <cytraL> it says something about the doctype
[12:38] <Arrakis> did it validate ?
[12:38] <cytraL> no
[12:38] <Arrakis> how complex is it?
[12:38] <cytraL> not very
[12:38] <cytraL> you wanna see the url?
[12:38] <Arrakis> sure
[12:38] <cytraL> http://margauxhome.com/bridalRegistry.php?action=bridalRegistry
[12:39] <cytraL> on the bottom it says find bride
[12:39] <cytraL> it works if you put the wrong username in
[12:39] <cytraL> but if you put a right one in like bilbo it only works in ff
[12:39] <Arrakis> works fine for me
[12:39] <cytraL> in ie?
[12:39] <Arrakis> yep
[12:39] <cytraL> im using 6.0

[12:41] * DickSlaps is now known as Co-Op2
[12:41] <Arrakis> are you clicking?

[12:41] <cytraL> uhmm
[12:41] <cytraL> enter
[12:41] <Arrakis> okay
[12:41] <Arrakis> that's why
[12:41] <Arrakis> in your textbox
[12:41] <cytraL> holy crap
[12:41] <Arrakis> you will want to put something like
[12:42] <Arrakis> onkeydown="if ((event.keyCode) && (event.keyCode==13)) { document.forms[0].
[12:42] <Arrakis> i think that should take care of it
[12:55] <cytraL> i put that in a <script> tag at top and it doesnt work
[12:55] <cytraL> <script type="text/javascript">
[12:58] <cytraL> you mean put it in the <input> tag?
[13:24] <cytraL> the problem is there is 2 <form>'s on the page and it defaults to the
[13:42] <cytraL> arrakis?
[13:49] * Co-Op2 is now known as draco1111
[14:10] <Stinky-D> quick question about html tables
[14:11] <Stinky-D> is there a way to force a break up contiguous strings?
[14:11] <Stinky-D> so a really wide piece of text in a table can be printed out
[14:11] <Stinky-D> hello btw :0
[14:23] <webben> Stinky-D, nothing works cross browser except " "
[14:23] <webben> Stinky-D, in IE, you might look into SHY (soft hyphens)
[14:24] <webben> unfortunately, Mozilla haven't got around to implementing SHY support.
[14:24] <webben> IIRC Opera supports SHY. Not at all sure about Webkit.
[14:24] <Stinky-D> hmmm
[14:24] <Stinky-D> somebody else suggested something like this
[14:25] <Stinky-D> <TD STYLE="word-wrap:break-word;width:150px;">
[14:25] <webben> Stinky-D, hmm ... sounds like a CSS3 property
[14:26] <webben> it's not in http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/propidx.html
[14:26] <webben> Stinky-D, it's probably not widely implemented
[14:26] <webben> if implemented at all
[14:26] <webben> (CSS3 isn't finished yet.)
[14:26] <webben> here it is: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#word-wrap
[14:27] <Stinky-D> ya
[14:27] <Stinky-D> isn't working
[14:27] <Stinky-D> doh
[14:27] <webben> Stinky-D, maybe work out a different way of presenting the same information
[14:28] <Stinky-D> for the most part I don't have control over what goes in the cell
[14:28] <webben> either totally recast the page, work out some radically different print css,
[14:28] <Stinky-D> I'm just formatting data
[14:28] <Stinky-D> that word-wrap works in ie7
[14:28] <webben> really? good on IE7 I guess
[14:29] <webben> be warned its spec may yet change
[14:29] <Stinky-D> ya
[14:29] <webben> since it's only a working draft
[14:29] <Stinky-D> is there not a way to force a table width?
[14:29] <webben> Stinky-D, yes... you set a width on the table IIRC
[14:30] <webben> table {width: 60em} or whatever
[14:31] <Stinky-D> just <table width=80> doesn't seem to affect that one row
[14:31] <Stinky-D> wow I didn't think this would be a problem
[14:33] <ihate> im tring to submit a url to google.com my question is when i submit the domai
[14:33] <ihate> or will i have to submit them individualy
[14:33] <Stinky-D> if there are links to them
[14:33] <Stinky-D> it will "spider" the site
[14:34] <ihate> so it will add everything?
[14:34] <Stinky-D> as long as you have links
[14:34] <ihate> do you links on www.test.com
[14:34] <Stinky-D> ?
[14:34] <ihate> [14:34] <Stinky-D> as long as you have links
[14:35] <ihate> what type of links
[14:35] <ihate> to what?
[14:35] <Stinky-D> if you have links to your sub pages on your main page
[14:35] <Stinky-D> google will follow all links in your main page and try to index them
[14:35] <ihate> oh ok..
[14:35] <Stinky-D> it can't magically find files on your server
[14:36] <ihate> yea thats the problem im having
[14:36] <ihate> but what if i dont want to add the links to my main domain?
[14:37] <ihate> how can i make it so www.test.com is just a blank page with no links and have
[14:37] <ihate> is that possible?
[14:38] <Stinky-D> not really
[14:38] <ihate> let me find an example
[14:38] <Stinky-D> k
[14:38] <ihate> ok
[14:38] <ihate> so this site..http://daily-information.com/
[14:39] <ihate> now if you go to the site.. theres nothing on it
[14:39] <ihate> now if you go to yahoo and search http://daily-information.com/
[14:39] <ihate> it comes up with many pages that are on that server with that main domain
[14:39] <Stinky-D> it says under construction
[14:39] <Stinky-D> there might have been something there in the past
[14:40] <Stinky-D> or other websites have links to their internal pages
[14:40] <ihate> yeah but it has no links
[14:40] <Stinky-D> not now
[14:40] <Stinky-D> but it might have had links
[14:40] <Stinky-D> like I said...google can't magically find stuff
[14:40] <ihate> oh, so thoes links can be removed once the sites are indexed?
[14:40] <Stinky-D> a link has to be somewhere
[14:41] <ihate> what if i was to submit each site to google like this www.test.com/whatever
[14:41] <Stinky-D> how about the top level of your sub pages
[14:41] <Stinky-D> ya
[14:41] <Stinky-D> just submit those
[14:41] <ihate> would that still work? or will google reject that or something?
[14:41] <Stinky-D> no that should work
[14:41] <Stinky-D> plus if anyone else on the net links to any of your pages
[14:41] <ihate> yeah i guess ill just do that
[14:41] <Stinky-D> you will get indexed whether you want to or not :)
[14:42] <ihate> ok. do you know how long it might take a site to show after its been submitte
[14:42] <Stinky-D> no idea
[14:42] <Stinky-D> these days probably pretty fast
[14:44] <ihate> alright
