Hello. It's me the noob again. Seeking for some help from experts. I have a few questions, and I hope you guys have the answer. 1.) Preloading page with a transparent layer? http://www.reconn.us/wait_while.html I found this preloading tutorial but it only lets me show a "loading.gif". I was hoping if anyone knows the code if I want a transparent layer that covers the whole screen with the loading.gif in the center while loading and goes away after loading is complete. Kind of like LightBox (http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/) when the image is clicked on, there is a transparent grey background that greys out the contents. 2.) What is the URL length in Apple's Safari browser? I know internet explorer has like 2,000 something characters. But I tried searching everywhere for the Safari. I just want to double-check that it is around the same maximum limit so I don't have to fix anything. 3.) Can I use PHP and ASP together? I have both PHP and ASP scripts, can I use them both? Or only one? 4.) Stopping bandwidth for overdownloaders I was wondering if there was something that could stop people who have exceeded their set bandwidth that I set for them of downloading. Kind of like most download sites. If anyone has a solution to any of these questions, it would be really helpful! thanks in advance.
hmm, no one has any answers? I really need the answers to 1 and 3... :/ Edit: I found the solution to #1. If anyone wants the answer, let me know.
#3: No, you can't pass variables back and forth, but you can include the ASP file from the php file via URL (not file include) like include the full web page. Also - if you need to share variables, do it through Querystrings. #4: If you have access to your IIS - I believe it has some control for banwidth throttling. #2: Not sure - try it out...
yes, IIS is the Windows Web Server. Is this on a webhost? or are you hosting yourself...? their might be some apache mod's to allow you to do this too (if you are on a flavor of *nix that is)
