Like My New Website?!

**Madboy** · Nov 22nd, 2003, 04:14 PM

Click the link from my sig.

What do you think? Only took over 30 minutes to make in Frontpage

**Acidic** · Nov 22nd, 2003, 04:26 PM

so far so good, I like the colours. You know, you could hide the tripod adds instead of shove them way down.
In javascript you can hide any adds for Mozilla Firebird (and presumably Mozilla and NS). damn IE though, doesn't work for there.

Anyway, quite a nice site.

**Madboy** · Nov 22nd, 2003, 04:44 PM

Thanks, how would you hide the ads, and would it hide in AOL?

**Acidic** · Nov 22nd, 2003, 05:05 PM

Here's ho I did it when the adds were right at the start of the body tag, ie just after <body> but before anything I'd entered.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function no_adds() {
document.body.innerHTML = document.body.innerHTML.substring(document.body.innerHTML.search("<p><strong>Updates:</strong>"),document.body.innerHTML.length)
}
</script>

and then run that onLoad

the Updates: bit is what I knew my actual page started with.
If the code for the addvert is at the start then just change the code slightly.

I don't know if AOL likes it though, It's a big bummer that IE doesn't

**Madboy** · Nov 22nd, 2003, 05:21 PM

Cheers, ill look into that

**Madboy** · Nov 22nd, 2003, 05:33 PM

That might make it work, then upload it so I can see it too please.

But the ads just keep on showing and showing. Check if i have the code right. If it isnt, could you make it right instead of giving me the code. I must be doing something wrong

**hellswraith** · Nov 22nd, 2003, 05:57 PM

You may E-mail me at any time using deleted If I don't reply to your email its either because im too busy, or I haven't got the email. You may email me for:

this is going to get you even more spam in your email than aol already provides you. Posting your email anywhere on your page or in the html will allow the spam people to spider you site, and harvest your email address. You should start receiving a lot of email in a month or two if the spiders come.

What I do is create a form. Use server side processing to send the email to you so you never have to expose your email address to spiders.

Just a suggestion to help you out. You probably are already used to the spam from AOL though, and you won't mind...lol.

**Madboy** · Nov 22nd, 2003, 06:00 PM

Thanks, i actually dont get much from spam from AOL.

Thanks again though.

Do you know how to remove the ads from TRipod in iE?

But as I said, this only works in Mozilla, still it doen't do anything bad in the others, so it's better than nothing.

edit:sorry code is right now

**Madboy** · Nov 22nd, 2003, 06:06 PM

Thanks, but what have you done!

In IE my page shows two ads at the top. But it doesnt display them, my background is dark grey, where the ads were its bright white. I think ill leave it as it was

**Acidic** · Nov 22nd, 2003, 06:12 PM

try again, I had to edit my post when I realised I had done a mistake.

If it still doesn't work then fine, ignore me. It's wierd though, it workied for me, and in IE it would only show it like normal.

**Madboy** · Nov 22nd, 2003, 06:14 PM

Ive just done a few searches and found a way to remove ads. If they work in IE ill let you know.

THANKS

**Madboy** · Nov 22nd, 2003, 06:31 PM

Wow! Black text on a grey background with dark blue links. You might want to consider trying something else.

**Acidic** · Nov 22nd, 2003, 08:21 PM

i liked the colours. It suited the feel and content (what there is) of the site. Maybe there should be a choice of many style things to choose from

**Lunatic3** · Nov 22nd, 2003, 08:57 PM

It would be better if you disable the link to the page you are in now, for example disable the link for Home when in home page and NEWS when in news page,...

**Kasracer** · Nov 22nd, 2003, 09:26 PM

[harsh]
1. Bad color combination. Needs more contrast
2. Does not validate
3. FrontPage really sucks ass and generates some really nasty code. Learn HTML, it isn't difficult.
4. The "VB6 keygen" on your site is illegal. Hope your site doesn't become popular or you'll be ****ed. That tiny disclamer won't save you from ****.
5. Tripod really sucks ass. Find a better host
6. What is with the copyright? registered? I highly doubt you actually copyrighted KL245 Digital.
7. E-Mail address on site = no no. It's bad enough that it's an AOL address.

No, that breaks navigation. It should be the same on all pages reguardless.

Well that's more of an opinion....

It isn't consistant. One page home isn't highlighted, other pages it is.

Like I said, it's more of an opinion. However, I believe the w3c has guidelines about it.

Obivously the page in which Home is not highlighted, or has another color is home page.

It would be better if you said that at frist and didn't mention 'it breaks navigation' which is obviously wrong.

I did mention that! I said it was an opinion!

In my opinion, it would break navigation because it isn't consistant. The navigation is changed on each page.

Number 6 of your post is wrong.

Any work he does is automatically copyrighted by law. The notice is usually there only to help deter people. He could pay for a legal one, but it is more of a formality than anything.

I am not sure about the R though for reserved. I think that means Registered Trademark (or is it TM), which he would then need to go through the legal process to get it.

In any event, Madboy, you should look at copyright notices on a few sites. They will show you how to format it.

**Kasracer** · Nov 23rd, 2003, 12:07 AM

It isn't wrong. You even mention in your post that he could go and get a legal one.

**hellswraith** · Nov 23rd, 2003, 01:26 AM

Maybe 'wrong' was the wrong word to use on my part, sorry. He does have a copyright on it. You said you highly doubted he had a copyright. He can go further and get a piece of paper copyright, but the fact still remains that he has a copyright. No need to doubt him.

**arsmakman** · Nov 23rd, 2003, 02:57 AM

Those ads are awful. My advise: get a new host.

http://www.freewebspace.net/search/power.shtml

**Madboy** · Nov 23rd, 2003, 07:42 AM

Thanks for the replies,

well i asked before for a good free web host. No good replies for it

Does it matter if the current page disables or highlights the link you are in? Its slighlty more work and the user should know what page they are in. THERE IS A BIG PIECE OF TITLE TEXT AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE. AND IT TELLS YOU IN THE BROWSER WINDOW CAPTION!

Who cares about the color scheme, its not bright, its not dull and bold. It is contrasted in between.

The Keygen was actually made for me, as backup purposes. When ever i buy software such as VB6 i never think of keeping product ID numbers etc. So this was merely for backup purposes. I think i should remove it from the site.

The reason it only took 30 minutes because i was also in the middle of doing stuff on the net. So ok, it only took about 15-20 minutes.

Frontpage does suck, but im not buying something like Dreamweaver. Sure i could get a cracked copy of Kazaa, but i dont see the point in doing such a thing.

**Acidic** · Nov 23rd, 2003, 07:51 AM

I don't think it's kosher to mention getting pirated software from *cough* Kazaa *cough* on this site. I use www.freewepage.org where your URL is yourname.freewebpage.org You also get FTP uploads which is handy, 150MB of space and formmail cgi scripts. It is also easy to get rid of their adds (in Mozilla). The only downside is that they not allow files bigger than 0.9MB. But you could always either split your files ro host the big files somewhere else.

**Madboy** · Nov 23rd, 2003, 07:57 AM

Thanks, Acidic. The link didnt work though

**Acidic** · Nov 23rd, 2003, 07:58 AM

typo,
now it works

**Madboy** · Nov 23rd, 2003, 08:00 AM

Which one is it?

Free webpages or
Free Domain Host Name?

Thanks

**Acidic** · Nov 23rd, 2003, 08:02 AM

Damn it, I had written www.freewebpages.org instead of www.freewebpage.org

go to the latter.
www.freewebpage.org
That should work.
