[12:20] <itai1403> hi
[12:21] <itai1403> how can i do that when i click on a submit button on my form that it will
[12:21] <TBF> What are these two actions you want performed?
[12:22] <v9> <form onsubmit="runthis();">
[12:22] <v9> can return false/true to make it not submit as well
[12:23] <itai1403> one is formmail
[12:24] <itai1403> https://secure.logmeinrescue.com/Customer/Download.aspx
[12:24] <itai1403> this is the second
[12:25] <TBF> I'm not sure I gather you correctly. You want to save the details the user popu
[12:25] <TBF> If so, configure formmail. Do not use Javascript as recommended by v9 unless yo
[12:27] <itai1403> yes
[12:27] <itai1403> what do you mean in configure formail?
[12:27] <GooseWork> http://www.liveattack.com/beheard.html , how can i make the footer be at
[12:27] <TBF> As in set it up. Formmail provides a way to forward the user to a second page a
[12:28] <itai1403> but for the second page i need the info i gathered in the form
[12:28] <itai1403> any way to do that when clicking submit
[12:28] <TBF> I see, consider paying for commercial support or learning to code.
[12:28] <itai1403> the main will be the .aspx site
[12:29] <TBF> Download.aspx needs to be aware of the data, doing it on the client-side would
[12:29] <itai1403> and the secondry will open another windows
[12:29] <itai1403> that will auto close?
[12:29] <itai1403> what do you say?
[12:29] <TBF> GooseWork, check Main in Blue for footerStickAlt solution.
[12:29] <TBF> Man in Blue*
[12:30] <itai1403> what do you day?
[12:34] <itai1403> any way to do that?
[12:34] <TBF> I don't understand your response. English is not my first language, try using n
[12:34] <TBF> Can you rephrase your response.
[12:35] <itai1403> ok
[12:35] <itai1403> is there any way that when clicking the submit
[12:35] <itai1403> the primary action will be the download.aspx
[12:35] <itai1403> and in new window will be opened the form succed sent
[12:38] <TBF> Ok, you will need to use Javascript to do that. Use JS to add a hook to the HTM
[12:41] <itai1403> any example?
[12:45] <itai1403> ?
[12:46] <TBF> No, no examples. Try researching to build up your skillsets.
[12:50] <itai1403> what to look for in google?
[12:51] <TBF> An application titled Spoon Feeder v2.04
[12:54] <kilomang> TBF: how long did it take you to get those 300k pages indexed without goog
[12:55] <v9> 300k google pages indexed?
[13:39] <TBF> kilomang, I've given you sufficent hints on how to form a decent lyric site.
[13:39] <TBF> I can't feed you direct information as you compete with me and your interest in
[13:40] <kilomang> yeah thanks for the info, but this question is a lot less harmless then th
[13:40] <kilomang> but its cool, i thank you for the info anywyas
[13:40] <TBF> You're asking me how I format my HTML documents to prevent duplication issue.
[13:41] <kilomang> no ??
[13:41] <kilomang> im just asking you what is a decent rate of adding pages
[13:43] <kilomang> plus i think you already answered the duplicate issue, you add classes
[13:45] <TBF> Use your brain and common logic too ;-)
[13:45] <TBF> You know Amazon distributes listings wihch inform you when albums will come out
[13:45] <TBF> A lot of the big sites "reserve" their name space for these even before the lyr
[13:46] <TBF> Google and others immediately get a grasp of what sites have done the "first co
[13:46] <TBF> It also helps if you can learn HTML::Parse and mine MTV
[13:49] <kilomang> yeah, ive noticed "upcoming albums"
[13:50] <kilomang> i cant really see how they get away with it though
[13:50] <kilomang> most of them are all "lyrics will be added soon!"
[13:50] <TBF> Doesn't matter, they have triggered the bots to recognise they were the initial
[13:51] <kilomang> but isnt that also viewed as keyword spam?
[13:51] <kilomang> having hundreds of pages with the same content with different titles, etc
[13:51] <TBF> If a large pool of the index suggests viable content, then what's a page which
[13:51] <v9> tbv; what site is this
[13:51] <v9> tbf too
[13:51] <TBF> v9, query lyrics on Google for some.
[13:52] <v9> your site
[13:52] <TBF> lol
[13:52] <kilomang> tbf owns metrolyrics.com
[13:52] <TBF> Why would I leak my own site names?
[13:52] <kilomang> oops sorry
[13:52] <TBF> I don't own that and you can confirm that.
[13:52] <kilomang> im just kidding, lol
[13:52] <TBF> I wish I did own it though ;-)
[13:52] <TBF> Bastards have great traffic
[13:53] <TBF> v9: kilomang maintains a Spanish or Portuguese lyric site and is looking for id
[13:53] <v9> tbf; why wouldnt you 'leak' your own site heh
[13:53] <v9> it's one thing to give 'trade secrets' it's another to have a person view the si
[13:53] <v9> retarded heh
[13:53] <kilomang> not really, i can see why TBF doesnt want people to know about it
[13:54] <kilomang> too much info
[13:54] <TBF> Because it serves no purpose for me to inform people on IRC what assets I own.
[13:54] <TBF> Yep
[13:55] <v9> ah, makes some sense
[13:55] <kilomang> well i guess the upcoming albums/lyrics would work well if i have a decent
[13:55] <TBF> If you generate your stable income from online efforts, it wouldn't make sense
[13:55] <TBF> I have nothing with teaching people or getting them to think for themselves. It
[13:55] <v9> well
[13:56] <v9> where-abouts is it in alexa ranking
[13:56] <TBF> Heh, look at you.
[13:56] <kilomang> TBF: so is metrolyrics 100% automated?
[13:56] <TBF> No
[13:57] <kilomang> most of their lyrics come from users which would require screening
[13:57] <kilomang> but everything else
[13:57] <kilomang> seems like it
[13:57] <TBF> "MegaMx" is one of the coders of the site. S/he pops into #MySQL to ask for hel
[13:57] <TBF> They've been in #CSS also and tried to ask me for commercial help, based on wha
[13:58] <TBF> Most of the code is shit too, no concept of cacheing.
[13:58] <v9> do you give false answers to throw off the competition? heh
[13:58] <TBF> Yes
[13:58] <v9> heh
[13:58] <v9> so is it just one main site making you money, or multiple?
[13:59] <TBF> None :(
[13:59] <TBF> I am actually a bank hacker.
[13:59] <v9> well, i hope all of your ventures fail, you vague bastard :P
[13:59] <kilomang> Ugh, i can't really stand how they use "LYRICS" in every imaginable anchor
[13:59] <TBF> heh
[14:00] <TBF> What are the chances we've just triggered someone in here to consider making a
[14:00] <TBF> :-\
[14:01] <TBF> Another bastard who is going to force index race against those who are in the t
[14:01] <v9> dunno, i wouldn't
[14:01] <v9> i wouldn't say anything that is
[14:01] <kilomang> meh
[14:01] <kilomang> even I wouldnt get into the lyrics site thing if it were in english
[14:01] <kilomang> too much for me to handle right now
[14:02] <kilomang> its funny though i imagined there would be a lot more lyrics site
[14:02] <kilomang> but if you search google for lyrics, there are only a max of 2 pages of ly
[14:03] <kilomang> ok, 3
[14:03] <kilomang> ok, 14
[14:03] <kilomang> nevermind
[14:03] <v9> sure it's quite saturated
[14:03] <TBF> heh
[14:04] <v9> lyrics, one of those things that are like zero-cost
[14:04] <TBF> Try 'artistName lyrics' to see pontential
[14:04] <v9> minimal space in a db, minimal bandwidth
[14:04] <v9> a win-win-win
[14:04] <kilomang> why does azlyrics win almost everything?
[14:04] <kilomang> those guys must be #1 in the lyrics niche
[14:05] <v9> or know how to abuse google
[14:05] <GooseWork> http://www.liveattack.com/beheard.html , how can i make the yellow box ha
[14:06] <v9> height:100%?
[14:07] <GooseWork> yea thats what i have
[14:08] <v9> it's 100% of your #content container
[14:08] <v9> which has no height set
[14:09] <GooseWork> height:100%;
[14:09] <GooseWork> min-height:100%;
[14:09] <GooseWork> height:auto;
[14:09] <GooseWork> i added that to #content
[14:09] <GooseWork> and it stil does the same thing
[14:10] <GooseWork> sniff
[14:13] <GooseWork> any other ideas?
[14:15] <kilomang> Did you know we give out free CDs every week to people who submit the most
[14:15] <kilomang> lol those bastards give away cds?
[14:15] <kilomang> cheap bums
