Web Coding / Creating a Footer using HTML and CSS

« on: March 18, 2018, 12:40:55 PM »

The part that's the most important is the CSS part:
=========================
.footer {
    position: fixed;
    left: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    width: 100%;
    background-color: gray;
    color: #5c5c5c;
    text-align: center;
}
=========================

Now the part that you see is the DIV tag that will be in the body. The important part there is classifying it.
=========================
<div class="footer">
  Auther: Name<br />
  Address: location
</div>
=========================

I found this from a hacking group on fb. Uses a dictionary to get the preset password. Doesn't specify an OS when I skimmed through it.

I just got the Google Home Mini and am already in love with it. I know these things can integrate with A LOT of stuff so I figured I would make this thread for us to put information in.

Web Coding / Flash support for multiable web browsers

« on: November 29, 2017, 10:08:48 PM »

Ok so I've tested a few and I noticed with Chrome, Flash videos don't auto play. I've been reading up on it and noticed this is accurate and Google added that feature. Google actually plans to remove flash in the 2020s.

Edge - Supports Flash (via Windows Updates) and auto-plays
IE11 - Supports Flash (via Windows Updates) and auto-plays
Chrome - Supports Flash (via built-in) and doesn't auto-play
Firefox Quantum - Supports Flash (via NPAPI plugin) and doesn't auto-play
Opera - Supports Flash (via PPAPI plugin) and doesn't auto-play

The issue is with making logos or anything interactive we need the auto play function and I can't seem to fine much on it. I see a website here and there just use items like MPEG to perform the same function when needed. You can see my website as an explained at http://www.jeremydaniele.com and see that my title was built in Flash. It just looks ugly and users won't know they need to start it but in IE11 and Edge its fine. I'm sure this is why IE and Edge are preferred. Firefox was a program's ideal but not now.

Does anyone own BitCoin?  I have a small idea how it works but I never too the dive yet.  I want to have good access to information and found https://bitcointalk.org which actually is built on the same forum system as our forum.

Web Coding / Using CSS (separated file)

« on: October 29, 2017, 10:19:29 PM »

CSS is a game changer!!  Instead of giving design instructions via header or body you can actually control design aspects separately and in this case in one single file that all the pages will link to.  This is good when your website has a common deisng that you want to share between pages and makes changing the design quick and easy.

Example of CSS when in each file via header:
=================================
<head>
<style>
body {
    background-color: lightblue;
}
</style>
</head>
=================================

Example of CSS when in a separate file:
=================================
body {
    background-color: lightblue;
}
=================================


Example of CSS being called upon in a file via header:
=================================
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css">
</head>
=================================

You can perform the same task with either process.  You can test both using the following URLs.

Internal CSS
External CSS

General Discussion (Public) / File Formats and Conversion

« on: October 28, 2017, 03:50:50 PM »

I found this little gem today.  I used it to covert a .FLV file from a pet webcam site.  I was annoyed it exported that format but found https://cloudconvert.com/ to covert it to a .MOV file   At first I tried .MPG but it came out all pixelled but the second one I tried (.MOV) worked fine.

General Discussion (Public) / Guest Restrictions

« on: October 17, 2017, 08:40:37 PM »

Added some restrictions so a few of the boards are for registered users only.  Guests can see some slower topics but frequently updated boards will be blocked for guests unless you guys think they should be opened.  Once you're signed in its like normal.  The goal is to monitor who sees the content and is contributing.  These can be changed if needed.

General Discussion (Public) / VPN Web Browsing

« on: October 06, 2017, 01:50:12 AM »

By far one of my favorite is Tor.  "Tor's users employ this network by connecting through a series of virtual tunnels rather than making a direct connection, thus allowing both organizations and individuals to share information over public networks without compromising their privacy" meaning it bounces the website request all over the world to keep you hidden.  Although keep in mind that you do leave a trace that you're on the Tor network.

Tor Project: https://www.torproject.org/


Another one of the favorites is definitely Opera browser.  As a browser is pretty much the same as most but with its own design but they added the feature to enable VPN which bounces you around so you're hidden.  Once its open go to Menu > Settings > Privacy & security > VPN > then check "Enable VPN" to activate it.  It should start right away.  If you would like to test it go to Google homepage and simply type in the search box, "where am I" and see where it thinks you are.

Opera: http://www.opera.com/
