The other way of ending a comment is to begin a JavaScript one-line comment


The other way of ending a comment is to begin a JavaScript one-line comment-the kind that starts with // and ends with the end of the source line. Just make sure that the –> is at the end of the comment. As with the first method, browsers that don’t support JavaScript will close the comment that was begun after the <SCRIPT> tag when they see the –> at the end of the comment. Netscape sees it as a routine JavaScript comment.
And the only drawback to this technique is that it forces the </SCRIPT> tag to be on the next source line. If it were on the same line as the one-line comment, it would become part of the comment.

Cheap Web Hosting – A Blessing In Disguise?


Depending on the company, cheap web hosting can either be a blessing or complete nightmare. As with everything in life things are cheap for a reason. Whether your site will be hosted on an old server or whether it will have restricted functions, there is always a reason why a host offers cheap web hosting. Sometimes hosting will be cheap initially as the hosts hope to get you to upgrade to a more expensive hosting solution as you discover you need more functionality.

Before you sign up for cheap web hosting ensure that you get the right hosting for you.

The first thing to compare will be bandwidth and disk space. The key point to remember is that disk space costs a host very little whereas bandwidth is quite expensive. So if host A offers you 20gb of bandwidth and 100 megabytes of disk space and host B offers you 500 megabytes of disk space and 15gb of bandwidth Host A is making the better offer.

The next step is to ask the hosts to show you some sites that they are already hosting. You are asking to see these so that you can see the speed that the site opens at. Too slow and you should not use them. It is advisable to check these sites several times during the day as some servers get very busy throughout working hours but quiet for the rest of the time

Never combine your domain name purchases with your website hosting it will give the company too much of a hold over your sites and should you have a dispute they could prevent access to your site or domain. Finally, remember. If cheap web hosting looks too good to be true it most probably is.

Using JavaScript, you can also make it easier for the user to quickly navigate the document outline. You can allow the user to hide irrelevant portions of the outline, leaving only the portions that are important to him or her.
You can do this by making the outline a dynamic document created on the fly instead of a static document loaded from the server.

Web Hosting – The Life Blood Of Any Internet Activity Online


Web Hosting – The Life Blood Of Any Internet Activity Online.

what u think?

web hosting is a service provided by companies that will allow individuals and businesses to have websites visible to people surfing the web. Many people browsing the Internet are not aware of the vast networks of resources used to display those websites. Web hosts come in all different sizes from the teenage kid working from his bedroom to the large multimillion dollar corporate giant. They are all fundamentally the same and work the same way. They provide space on server usually in a data center which in turn are connected to routers to provide access to the server when you type in the url.

The teenage kid may lease a server at a data center or more likely lease a small portion of the disk space on a server. Some servers may have 100’s of people using it’s disk space. Next door to that server may be an identical server owned by a large household name web hosting company. The only difference between them will be the cost and the level of customer service and technical support they can provide on a day to day basis.

you should choose your web hosting company wisely. As we have seen above, your host could turn out to be a college kid sat in his bedroom. When looking for a host it is always good to go with personal recommendations and not rely solely on how the hosting company’s site looks. A professional looking template costs very little and can often be bought for a few dollars so if you rely on how a site looks to choose your host you may be sorely disappointed.

Check the hosts performance statistics and ensure that they can answer any questions you have promptly. A few hours spent investigating potential web hosting companies now will save days of heartache and in the future.

Form modification is the process by which data entered by a user


Form modification is the process by which data entered by a user is translated into another format before being submitted to the form’s server.
When data from a form is submitted to its server, the data has to be formatted in a way that the server can understand. The format is usually in the form

<url>?<field1=value>?<field2=value>…

where <field1>, <field2>, and so forth are the NAME attributes of the INPUT, SELECT, and TEXTAREA elements of the form. The values are, with minor translations made by the browser, the VALUE attributes of those elements.

The TARGET attribute tells the browser to display


The TARGET attribute tells the browser to display the submission results in the viewer frame.

Without that, the results would replace the contents of the control frame, and the user would lose his or her view of the data.

The big problem with the non-JavaScript solution is the enormous expense in bandwidth


The big problem with the non-JavaScript solution is the enormous expense in bandwidth. With every guess, a new HTML page is downloaded from the server. That’s a lot of traffic!

From the user’s perspective, this translates to a slow game. It’s okay for the user to deliberate about his or her next move, but the computer is expected to respond instantly! Instead, the user gets to watch the status bar display the number of seconds until the next page is downloaded.
