nssone wrote: I want to change the border of this inline frame I have on my website to something with rounded corners This is pretty simple to do with a table, actually. Create a table in a 3x3 grid, put the corner images of the border in the corners of the grid, then set the background image of the edge cells to be the edge images of your border (to be expandable, the edge images will need to be repeatable). nssone wrote: I also want to change my navigation bar from the top under the banner to the side One method is to just have a big table with the navbar in the left cell and the content in the right cell. A more browser-friendly method (that doesn't abuse tables and renders incrementally) is to have the navbar be a floating div -- since you know the size of the banner image and the size of the navbar elements, you know the absolute pixel position of the upper-left corner of the div and the height and width. You can then set the left margin of the content to be as wide as the navbar. That's just off the top of my head, so you may find some methods which are more comfortable.

If you want your Perl script to be executed from a web browser, you'll need to have it as a CGI script on a web server -- that's just how things work. If you want to build a standalone GUI for your app, there are a number of toolkits with Perl bindings you can use to construct the GUI: Win32::GUI, Gtk, Qt, Tk, etc. Since you know HTML already, you may be interested in the Tk::HTML[^] module. - Mike

You don't necessarily have to use C++ for the Linux port; depending on your setup, you may be able to use Mono[^] to compile and run the C# app under Linux for a number of different architectures. - Mike

Sounds like you have depth buffering disabled. You'll need to have a depth buffer created when you're creating the OpenGL display, you'll need to enable depth testing (with glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST)), and you'll need to clear the depth buffer at each frame (glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT)). - Mike

Something like Graphviz, perhaps? http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/[^] - Mike

Template instance names in the STL, when fully expanded by the compiler, often result in truly awe-inspiring identifiers that exceed the 255-character limit for identifiers in the debug info. Remember that many STL templates take a number of optional extra template parameters that specify such things as allocators, sorting rules, and hash traits. The compiler fills in these parameters with default values when generating the instance. I've found this warning to be generally harmless. You can selectively disable it with: #pragma warning(disable:4786) - Mike

Who can blame them? I mean, who wouldn't want to stake a claim on a big chunk of 98% ice and 2% barren rock? :) - Mike

Seven different countries have made (overlapping) claims to certain portions of Antarctica (the U.S. and Russia have made no claims, but may do so in the future). Some countries (the U.S. included) do not officially recognize the claims of other countries. Paraphrased from: http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ay.html#Govt[^] - Mike

Use the line-height CSS attribute. Example:

<div style="line-height: 2em;">
Double-spaced text goes here...
</div>

It's tough to figure out this problem without details about your header/implementation and what the link error is. Is your class a template? If so, then the implementation must be defined in the header. - Mike

Smells like homework... what have you done so far? Also, it's 'pi', not 'pie' :) - Mike

I'm not quite sure what you mean -- I use both Perl and PHP in my webapps, and they really boil down to similar methods of operation. - Mike

For somebody without much patience, I'd say that DirectX is the last place to start, particularly since (at least with Direct3D) there are at least a thousand ways to code up a black screen with not much debugging info to go on. :) Python is a scripting language and so is probably the easiest to get started in. VB is also a good candidate. The reasons are that it is very easy to get something being displayed on the screen, which (at least for me) is all I need to really get into a project. - Mike

string is in the std namespace, so you either need to qualify it as std::string or add using std::string; before you first use it. using namespace std; will import the entire std namespace. - Mike

1. Get the DirectX SDK: http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/[^] 2. Run the DirectX Sample Browser. The sample browser contains many small examples and tutorials, written in C++, C#, and VB. The SDK also includes a C++ DirectX Project Wizard for Visual Studio .NET that generates a small DirectX app based on the same example framework that the samples use. - Mike

You need to have another server (outside of your network) that you can access to get your external IP (or, as an alternative, a program running on your router that you can query). There are quite a few servers on the web that you can query to get your external IP as seen by the Internet (the first is the easiest to query, but you may want others to fall back on in case the first is down): http://www.phpfreaks.com/myip.php[^] http://www.whatismyip.com/[^] http://www.networkports.net/yourip.php[^] - Mike
