hello…

old-school way is to put your content in a table that is 100% wide and 100% high – you can do it in css, though:

hello…

for an image map, just google the phrase “image map” or “usemap” – you’ll get all the tutorials you’ll need on that. an animated gif (gif89a) is made with software – adobe image ready is the big one, but just google up animated gif software or the likes and you’ll find a lot of tools if you don’t have image ready (whch comes with photoshop)…

a gif89a is just a gif with frames in it to do different cells of animation…

hello…

it’s an animated gif with an image map:

if you were to do something in html like this, you could make a table cell with the animation as the gif bg and then center a logo over it…

you could try a can of air but if it’s dead then it’s probably dead…that would just help eliminate dust, etc. as the culprit…

hello…

often they ask you a preference and then remember it for you, but you can detect qt via javascript – here’s one way:

hello…

ok – well, you might be able to use this client area script i wrote a few years back:

https://www.sitruc.com/downloads/php_client_area.zip

you need php and the ability to have safe mode disabled (check with your isp)…i don’t offer technical support for it, but it has lots of docs in the install.txt file that you can use to check support, etc…

other than that, you’d have to find another scripted thing in php, asp, jsp, etc. – there are a lot online that you can implement, but writing one takes a decent understanding of web programming…

hope that helps!

hello…

alas – this is a pretty broad question (think “can anybody tell me how to fix my transmission?”)… :-/

what do you want it to do? share files? other functionality? what server scripting languages do you support on your isp? do you want sessions or is just plain htaccess (the little popup u/p combo) ok? and is that even feasible (i.e. are you running apache or iis on your site?)…

if you can narrow it down a bit, i can point you to some handy resources, but without knowing your goal, it’s hard to answer…

hello…

very known issue and there are hacky fixes at best (the hacks aren’t bad in this case – it’s the flash dom layer issue that requires hacks to get around it)…

the cheap fix is wmode=transparent, but that can cause problems in some flash animations based on content – and it won’t work for all browsers…

there are other tricks, but note that it will almost never work in safari on os x – you’re kinda stuck there…but try googling up wmode and transparent or the parent issue can be seen here:

and the main macromedia doc on it:

hope that helps!

hello…

i don’t have a specific resource – assuming you’re on dreamweaver, you can always do a google and go from there:

https://www.google.com/search?rls=en-us&q=dreamweaver+templates

“free” is always a loaded question, but you can likely find some truly free stuff in there…

sorry to not have a more specific answer for you on this one… :-/
