New Ajax Popup Windows for Your Site

Ajax Popup Window

In my older blog post on ajax popup windows for your website you can find the reasons why you should use Ajax (javascript) popup windows.

The popup windows become more and more popular. New frameworks are developed very fast like jQuery and others. These provide the basis for the next level of ajax popup windows.

In this post I review some of the newest ajax popup windows. You can choose then which one you will install to your site.

Shadowbox.js is a very promising popup window script but it is free only for non commercial use. From the other side it's capable of displaying: images, imagemaps, videos, slideshows, flash content.

Installing Thickbox Directions

Hi Mario,

thanx for your question.

For a popup like this you don't need ajax. As I saw on target.com when you click on "Quick info" then a popup box appears and loads inside an iframe.

So what you need to do:

Download and install on your website Thickbox. It's a jQuery plugin that you place on your website.

You can find instructions here http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/

You for exaple want more information about a product or item, then you make an html, php or whatever you use file with the details or some more information about this item and then you place this inside Thickbox.

On the Thickbox plugin page are detailed information about "iFramed Content".

Use for example this:

<a href="your-item-info.php?keepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=250&width=400" title="add a caption to title attribute / or leave blank" class="thickbox">More Info</a>
 

Hope it helped ! See ya :)

Where can I buy Sony Rolly ?

Question:

Do you know where I can buy Sony Rolly? For some reason google gave this link????

Answer:

Information from wikpedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolly_(Sony)):

Rolly is an egg-shaped digital robotic music player made by Sony, combining music functions with robotic dancing. It has several motors that allow it to rotate and spin, as well as two bands of LED lights running around its edge and cup-like "wings" (or "arms" according to the Sony sonystyle USA website) which can open and close on either end, all of which can be synchronized to the music being played.


Site Update

IGotAnswers was heavily updated yesterday from Drupal version 5.x to Drupal version 6.x

After long updating times and lot of sweat I manage to update this site to the newer version of Drupal.

The most usefull information was a file called upgrade.txt inside of each module archive. Following their instructions I updated most of my old version 5 modules to version 6.

Before starting your updating your own site please read carefully the following guide http://drupal.org/upgrade/

Now I have to embellish my theme a little because now it looks pretty simple and clean.


How to make your car to a mobile office

Because I need to travel with my car in many places and I need to have my emails, contacts and presentations with me I thought that it could be very good to apply to my car various projects that I found around the net that will help me to advance my work and my driving experience.

1. Portable Computer

First of all we need a netbook, you know the smaller versions of notebooks. At Amazon you can find many kinds of them.

Netbooks are cheap and can do the most of your office work, play podcasts, run thunderbird and sunbird, firefox and all the other tools you need to have with you when you going to a trip.

I suggest to buy one with at least 80gb of Hard drive, 1024 or 1G Ram, and 10 inch screen because the smaller ones are not so usable (I seem to have large fingers :)

So you have your netbook huh ?

Now prepare it for your car. Buy a car charger for your netbook, to charge it while on your trip.

2. GPS Navigation System


Foxconn audio driver Realtek AC97 problems [solved]

Recently I formatted a system. The system specifications where nice though it had a Foxconn motherboard.

I don't know if you are aware of that company but I wasn't.

So after installing Windows Xp with Service pack 3 integrated.

After the installation, windows did not recognize the onboard audio device. The specific Foxconn motherboard uses a Realtek chip with AC97 high definition audio.

So I tried everything, re-install, format and install but that did not solve it.

I installed UAA windows drivers but neither that solve the problem.

The sound device was unknown and windows device manager showed it with questionmark.

So I tried again with something I read on a forum. I downloaded the Realtek AC97 drivers from the Realtek website.

Then installed them, rebooted and TADA!! there was sound!

Keep in mind that before that I downloaded the drivers that where on Foxconn's website.

Conclusion: Don't buy Foxconn motherboard :-)


WAG200G Remote Management Problems [Solved]

If you try to manage remotely your Linksys WAG200G adsl modem and router then you have to notice the following things:

Enable remote management from the administration of your linksys router (it's located by default at http://192.168.1.1 and username and password is admin)

Check if your ISP (internet service provider) is blocking any ports.

Go to http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and see if port 8080 is open. (Change the port for more security)

If the port is open then you can visit your router with the following link https://your ip here:port

Firefox or Internet Explorer will not load the administration until you grand access of the certificate. Trust the certificate and Voila! A popup dialog will ask you for username and password.

Change username and password for security reasons.

That's it!!

Also from Applications&Gaming page you can forward any ports you want. For example web server, ftp server, remote desktop etc.

Hope it helped!
