Questions About Ecommerce Solutions

Daniel asks…

Is there any ecommerce/shoping cart solution I could integrate to my website?

I built a website using html/css/js and would like to include the shopping cart, is there such a thing I could use?

Administrator answers:

You can use Magento shopping cart. It is free and easy to use and install. You can learn more info about it here:

http://www.magentocommerce.com/

Sandra asks…

What’s a good ecommerce solution for my website?

I’m trying to kick off my ecommerce business and am currently stuck with yahoo stores. I don’t like the cookie cutter looks and would like something that I could either integrate with my site (with database support) or at least match the look of my site.
My site is http://pccogs.com

Administrator answers:

First of all, after looking at that site mate, I’m not sure if I’d buy from there. A black background just isn’t intended for ecommerce websites. Sure, would be nice if you were selling items related to gothic culture.

I’d say, brush up on the design and use PayPal eCommerce Starter Kit which is free and easy to use. It has all the cogs and pistons to make the backend administration easy, provide database support and make one the site editing easy.

You can find this ecommerce starter kit free at:

http://www.asp.net/downloads/starter-kits/paypal-ecommerce/

Charles asks…

what is the best ecommerce / shopping cart solution for a small startup shop selling designer apparell?

we are considering volusion, oscommerce, yahoostores, prostores, magento. We want flexibility especially with the ability to make design changes + strong features and easy to manage u/i and backend.

Administrator answers:

Go with a store that you have complete control over – one that you can install on YOUR domain name, on YOUR hosting.

Of your list, Magento and osCommerce fit the bill. You cannot get more flexible than “open source” (meaning you can change up the code to suit your needs).

Design wise, you are limited only by your skills and imagination. Here are some nice osCommerce sites which might give you a bit of inspiration;

http://www.clubosc.com/hot100/

As you are a startup, you will proabby be wanting to keep costs low – so why not install osCommerce, have a play with it. Sure, it looks awful when first installed, but it’s pretty simple to find a template or give it a design of your own (there are a couple of template systems available).

Also, don’t forget that os osCommerce has been going for so long, there are literally thousands of “add ons” available – the same cannot be said of Magento (yet!).

My blog is at http://www.clubosc.com should you want to read a bit more about osCommerce or ask any in-depth questions, and I have a tutorial site at http://www.oscbooks.com

Lizzie asks…

Which is the better open source ecommerce solution? Joomla/virtuemart, Drupal/ubercart, osCommerce?

I want to sell file downloads (software) which I believe rules out magento….

Administrator answers:

Stay away from osCommerce like the plague – the entire design is tabled and the code is mashed in with the layout. (IDK about the Alpha release, but it’s been in Alpha for 2 years without an RC so it shouldn’t be used in production).

Ubercart is a great choice (especially if you have quickbooks). It’s easy to set up, has a large user base and is built off of (IMHO) the best CMS out there.

I don’t know much about virtuemart but Drupal is my CMS of choice over Joomla any day.

Magento is definitely the frontrunner in the open source ecommerce market, but like you said there is no option for digital products yet. This is in their roadmap though, so you may want to take a look to see when it will be available.

Also, one you might not have heard of: Substruct. It’s built on Ruby on Rails and seems to be very well designed. Being built on an MVC framework really helps with the separation of design and code. Therefore: templating is much easier.

Donna asks…

Website hosting + integrated eCommerce solution.?

Hi, im having trouble trying to work this out.

Basically i want an ecommerce solution(shopping cart) AND a forum (and maybe something else) on one website. I can;t find any ecommerce solutions out there that allow both features(or more) in one. How would i go about doing this… any ideas ?

thanks (:

Administrator answers:

I would simply integrate the best of each kind. I would use the best (according to my needs) forum script and the best shopping cart solution together.

Your Questions About Iphone 5

Feb29
2012

Written by Administrator

Joseph asks…

How much do you think the iPhone 4 is going to cost when the iPhone 5 comes out?

I want to purchase an iPhone 4 but then the retail price is too expensive. When the iPhone 5 comes out , how much do you think the older iPhone 4 will cost? I plan on buying the phone for the retail price and unlocking it so I can use it for T-Mobile. Rumors were spreading across the internet saying that iPhone 5 will be available in the Fall. However, that is just a rumor.

Administrator answers:

$99 if Apple sticks with its iPhone pricing strategy. There are also rumors that the next iPhone would be available for T-Mobile & Sprint so that it would cover the 4 major carriers.

John asks…

What are the chances of the iPhone 5 coming to Verizon this summer?

Should I just go ahead and get the iPhone 4 for Verizon or do you think I should wait for the 5… Also is 5 going to be that much greater/better? What will be the changes?

Administrator answers:

Not very good. The majority of rumors state a September release for the next iPhone. Nothing is known (confirmed by Apple) at this time. Closest event to possibly hear anything about it is their WWDC conference in June.

Betty asks…

What is the likelihood the Iphone 5 for Verizon comes with GMS capability?

What are the expected new features on the Iphone 5?

Administrator answers:

There are rumors that the iPhone 5 wil use qualcom chips which can do both CDMA and GSM networks. Apple always hates product fragmentation. So if they could get a phone that would work on both networks, I’m sure they will do it…

Robert asks…

Will the price of the white iphone 4 drop when the iphone 5 is released?

I want to get the white iphone soon but someone told me I should wait until the iphone 5 comes out next month because the price would be lower. I’ll be getting the 32GB and ill be buying it from the apple store with no contract because I hate being on contract. If the price is going to drop then I might as well wait instead of spending 800 for it. Anyone know if the price will drop or will it stay the same?

Administrator answers:

Thinking logically, the price will most likely drop once the newer version comes out, however many companies plan for this and don’t drop the price until a little while afterwards.

It kind of depends on how their sales are. If people continue to buy the iPhone 4 at the price it was before, they probably won’t lower it, but if people aren’t, they will.

Paul asks…

What’s the difference between iPhone 5 and iPhone 6?

I might be an idiot for asking because IDK when iPhone 6 comes out but what are the new features i iPhone 6 that iPhone 5 doesn’t have? Different colors, different features, better camera.. What? lol.

Administrator answers:

There’s no difference between them since the iPhone 5 hasn’t came out yet and neither has the iPhone 6 lmfao. You’re pretty behind in technology =P

Helen asks…

What Search Engine Optimization companies offers?

I’m pretty new to SEO and I’m just curious of what these companies offer. Some SEO companies do charge high fees. I mean, isn’t search engine companies such as Google let us list our website there for free? What are these SEO companies offer as a value adding service?

Administrator answers:

The number of Search Engine Optimization Company is increasing every month, they present themselves with degrees of strategy to make sure that their clients will get the entire assistant that they need.

Susan asks…

What is the publics general perception of search engine optimization companies?

Administrator answers:

Google encourages SEO, there is an article about SEO in Google Webmaster, because it can increase the quality of searching. The question is, does this SEO company use white hat technology to do it or black hat tech to do it.

Sandy asks…

Are there any search engine optimization companies in Alaska? I want local guys not lower 48 city dwellers?

I run fishing websites and am interested in some SEO. I want someone who really understnads ALASKAN business… not some lower 48 company that doesn’t know a chunk of cheap farmed salmon from smoked white king.

Google rankings is my main goal.

Administrator answers:

You could try Frozen Alaska SEO.

Http://www.frozenalaskaseo.com

They rank right up top for the google search “Alaska SEO” and for “Alaska Search Engine Optimization.”

That’s a pretty good sign that they know what they are doing. Plus they say they are based in Haines. Thats a small town, and pretty Alaskan if you ask me.

Carol asks…

Lisa asks…

What is the best search engine optimization company?

What’s the best search engine optimization company? And what exactly do they offer? It seems there’s huge amount seo companies but not a lot that makes them different.

Administrator answers:

I think the real question is “Who is the best at spotting the best seo company?”

You definaltely want to stay clear of seo firms that don’t shows signs of evolving, algos never sleep. The days of keyword stuffing and automatic search engine submissions are long gone.

SEO has transformed into marketing, conversion, usability, local search, people pleasing, analysis and testing.

Lizzie asks…

Where can I find Free web hosting?

I want to make a site public, I have it implemented in HTML, CSS, and JQuery (Javascript), so i don’t need any sort of backend code support. Is there anything free that I can use for that?

I want to make it seem like a normal site as much as possible, i mean i don’t want headers, and menus and stuff like that, i want to have total control over the page.. but i don’t care about the url though

Administrator answers:

I’ve been using http://www.000webhost.com/ for the last 2 years. It’s really great and the give you a good panel considering it’s a free hosting service. Also for a free domain you can get a short one from co.cc . Hope it helps.

Daniel asks…

JQuery holding down key..?

On JQuery I am making a game, so when you press a button your character look’s right. But it stay’s like that, how would I make it so when you HOLD down let’s say, the right key your character look’s right but when you let go will resume to his normal state.

This is my code for making him move:

$(document).ready(function() {

$(document).keydown(function(e) {

//alert(e.keyCode);

var position = $(“#player”).position();

switch (e.keyCode)
{

case 65: // Left
$(“#player”).css(‘left’, position.left – 14 + ‘px’);
$(“#player”).css(‘background’, ‘url(left_walk.gif) no-repeat’);
break;

case 87: // Up
$(“#player”).css(‘top’, position.top – 14 + ‘px’);
$(“#player”).css(‘background’, ‘url(back_walk.gif) no-repeat’);
break;

case 68: // Right
$(“#player”).css(‘left’, position.left + 14 + ‘px’);
$(“#player”).css(‘background’, ‘url(right_walk.gif) no-repeat’);
break;

case 83: // Down
$(“#player”).css(‘top’, position.top + 14 + ‘px’);
$(“#player”).css(‘background’, ‘url(front_walk.gif) no-repeat’);
break;

}

});

I really hope someone can help me with this!

Administrator answers:

Detect when the keyUp event fires:

Steven asks…

Jquery, problem when I attempt to add a second button?

I’m making some panels that hide/show when I click on a link. It worked fine for the first one I did. But when I tried to add a second panel that would show/hide by another link, something went wrong. First of all, the second panel didn’t start hidden for some reason, and when I clicked the second link, it hid both links and the second panel.

I was following a tutorial (didn’t say anything about this problem though), so to give you an idea of what I’m doing, here’s the demo page

http://spyrestudios.com/demos/sliding-panel-fixed/

See the button on the left? Imagine a second one below it that opens another panel. That’s what I’m trying to do.

I simply copied the css over from what I put for the first panel/button, and changed the position so it’d be under the first one. Then I copied the JS used, and changed the class names.

Here’s what I have, I can’t copy the css in because it won’t fit-

$(document).ready(function(){
$(“.triggerCores”).click(function(){
$(“.Cores”).toggle(“fast”);
$(this).toggleClass(“active”);
return false;
});
});

$(document).ready(function(){
$(“.triggerElectives”).click(function(){
$(“.Electives”).toggle(“fast”);
$(this).toggleClass(“active”);
return false;
});
});

-Insert short intro paragraph-

# of Credits
Teachers maybe?
Prerequisites
Other crap in the book that i cant remember right now…

Cores
ElectivesPretty sure I did? Each div looks ended to me. Either way adding an extra

at the end didn’t fix it. Also fixed the typos, but they didn’t do anything either.
nvm xD, yes the last div tag wasn’t close, thank you very much.

however now the second panel is starting out as not hidden? anyway to fix this?

Administrator answers:

If you copy and pasted this then it could well be the typos causing you problems.

I’m fairly sure <script tpe is meant to be <script type, though I could be wrong.

Also at one point you write javascript as javscript.

EDIT: You didn’t end the last

tag.

Chris asks…

what is wrong with this jquery coding?

I have use about three jquery codes and none work, why is this?
This is the code:

href=”castillo.css” />
<script type=”text/javascript”

src=”jquery.js”>

$(“button”).ready(function(){
$(“p”).hide();
});
});

This is a heading

This is a paragraph.

This is another paragraph.

The hide() doesn’t seem to work
I noticed I forgot to put
$(document).ready(function(){
before
$(“button”).click(function(){
but still it doesn’t hide the text in the

tags.

Administrator answers:

In this script section:

$(“button”).ready(function(){
$(“p”).hide();
});
});

You have 2 lines wiht });

You only need 1 line.

Use FireFox and keep the Error console window open. It took me right to the error:
Error: syntax error
Source File: file:///c:/temp/test.html
Line: 15
Source Code:
});

Lizzie asks…

How easy is it to add an affiliate application to an ecommerce website?

I am having a website built for me by a friend of a friend and I want to ask them about adding an affiliate application where a code can be entered that gives a purchaser money off and also pays the affiliate who advertised the code. Is this a complected thing to ask for or is this something any web designer can install?

Administrator answers:

Lee,

Adding an Affiliate Marketing Program to your online store is EASY (when you choose the right eCommerce platform from the start). There are a few platforms that come pre-integrated with affiliate marketing programs and some other can be integrated with third-party affiliate platforms fairly easily.

Here are a couple links for you; this shopping cart comes with affiliate options built-in: http://www.ShoppingCartsForWebsites.com/outbound/3dcart.html

What seals can I use on my ecommerce website to enhance credibility?

I’m creating a website to sell information. I will put a PayPal Verified seal in there, but I want even more seals to increase credibility. At this point of my business, I’m not excepting any orders online, I’m only accepting order requests via email form. Therefore, I don’t have SSL, so I can’t use VeriSign or Thawte. Is there anything else that I can use to enhance credibility?

Thanks,

Administrator answers:

Hi, good question…

You can try this: http://hurleypix.com/honestonline

However you do need to be ethical and honest about your online dealings to be able to qualify for this.

Hope that helps.

How to write a requirements specifications document for an ECommerce website?

Just like there is an SRS(Software Requirements Specification) for writing a software, what document do we have for a website and what points are typically discussed in that documents. Please answer in detail and refer internet links.Thanks

Administrator answers:

Usually you need to create the wireframes for the pages layout. You can use some software such as
photoshop or other to design the pages before coding on HTML or other.

You can also use UML to describe the customer and your system and how s/he will access your web site and buy itens and do other stuff based on your web site.

Sharon asks…

List of monthly fees to run an ecommerce website?

Can somebody please give me a quick run down of ANY fee that I might come across when having an ecommerce website. I looked on google for this but didn’t find anything related to it. Thanks.
ANY monthly fee I might come across… (just to verify)
i meant clarify… i need sleep

Administrator answers:

Off the bat you should expect the following fees:

Server hosting fee’s – 5 bucks a month and upwards depending on the amount of traffic you anticipate.
Domain Fee- 15-25 bucks for the name
Marketing budget- Do you plan to use google adsense? Pay Per click with google (25 cents a click on average depending on how well you want to place on google searches.

PayPal- they deduct from your sales
Credit Card processing- at least 25 cents a transaction, depending on who you sign up with to process credit card payments.

On top of those common fee’s there are other things to consider:

We recommend you have a corporation set up to do business with.

A typical corporation costs 200-500 dollars to set up, depending on the type of corporation you prefer to start.

Also there may be some accounting know-how’s that are crucial for you to keep track of, especially if you plan on doing interstate commerce. This depends on the state you will be doing business in. If you don’t like the e-commerce rules in your state, you can file your corporation in another state and do business from there, but you dont have to physically be there, you just pay your business taxes to that state.

Depending on what angle you decide to go with for your website there are different fees. Read up on how to make a business plan on our website, so you can have a clear picture of how your business is going to look. Feel free to send us your business plan or email us if you have any additional questions.

Your Questions About Search Engine Optimization Pricing

Written by Administrator

Jenny asks…

Can you help with Search Engine Optimization?

My client came a crossed this site:

http://www.towingguru.com/pricing/

We are wondering if this is normal pricing for SEO? Many of the things listed there seem to be one time setup….am I wrong? Is there a lot of tricks to SEO which is why they charge so much, or should I just take the time to do it myself…..

Thanks in advance for your help…

Administrator answers:

Honestly, you’d be better off learning it yourself – you never know what you’re really paying for, some of these folks (not saying this one is) can do some really hinky stuff that will mess you up.

Betty asks…

search engine optimization help?

I made a website for a dentist and he is looking for a company that will submit his site for their search engine so when someone types in Miamisburg, Ohio dentist his name shows up in the top 10. Can you list a company that will do this for a decent price? Or does it even cost any money to even do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Administrator answers:

You can submit it to Google and Yahoo and more than likely Google and Yahoo will come and index the site. What you need to do to rank better is optimize the website. Check out Search Engine Marketing Inc. It will give you some basic info to optimize the website. Focus on the URL name and title tag for starters

Charles asks…

Need Info on Search Engine Placement for my web site?

I am about to launch a web site selling coffe and tea. I don’t know anything about search engine optimization, the companies that are supposed to do it for you, etc. Anyone with a web site have any insight on services/prices, etc. Thanks!

Administrator answers:

I suggest http://www.seotrends.in – it has everything on SEO/SEM Industry.

Mary asks…

Search Engine Optimisation services?

I have a website which is in development. It will be a pretty big website overall. Does anyone know about companies that offer SEO (Search Engine optimisation) and what are the price ranges for that? I have seen many who say they will train your employees for that, but i am looking to subscribe to someone who will manage the SEO for my website. What kind of prices does one pay for such services?

Administrator answers:

You’ll find there are roughly four types of SEO service:

Something that costs a few hundred $/£ per year. Steer clear of that, because you won’t be getting any value for your money – it’s too cheap, and the chances are the company will do very little beyond submitting your site to search engines (something which isn’t actually a great idea anyway), if they do anything at all.

Next up are companies which offer a sort of monthly management scheme, where they do a bit of SEO and other internet marketing as well as generally looking after your site every month. In my experience, this is around £200/$300 per month. It’s okay if you’re not in a demanding market, but generally not a sufficiently dedicated SEO programme to give new sites the push they need.

Then there is dedicated SEO consultancy, for which you can pay through the nose for if you want the best; you can expect to pay up to £300/$500 per hour for the top notch SEO consultants. You might also find some who will take you on on a monthly retainer, probably around £600/$1000 per month, for which you will be able to talk to them at any time and get a constant flow of advice.

Finally you can outsource different bits of your SEO out to different companies who have more expertise in one area. This works best in conjunction with some form of consultancy so you know what you need. Again, costs will vary according to the quality and reputation of the provider. For example, you could hire a linkbuilding team in India extremely cheaply, or you could pay thousands for the creme de la creme of linkbuilders.

By the way, in my opinion you DO need SEO consultancy before and during your site development, otherwise you will end up having to change things which just adds more cost. This way, the consultant will also be able to tell you what kind of future promotion your market will require : it might even be something you could do yourself with a couple of books, or it might well require a large investment in ongoing SEO from a professional.

There are plenty of companies and individuals out there, just keep looking. And if you don’t find anyone, well there’s always me!

Sorry, after writing so much I felt I deserved a small pitch

Thomas asks…

e-commerce website, best one?

I will be building an e-commerce website to sell products. I would like to know what is the best one for loading products, search engine optimization, price, etc. I found one at http://www.sitesell.com
Does it look good for the money or are there better ones out there. Thanks. Let me know if you need more info to answer my question.

Administrator answers:

I am a huge fan of SiteSell (or SBI as it is often known). I used it to build my website (1st url below) and have had great success with it in just a few months.

If you want to see more evidence about it, go to the 2nd url and click on the left hand menu on “Proof”, “Results” etc or look and see which biz model fits yours best.

There are other good products, but this is what I have experience with, and nobody else backs up their claims with as many real life case stories or as much statistical evidence.

Good luck – it is not “get rich quick” but it is very rewarding.

Cheers, Sarah

Ramadan section, I need your help!?

Assalamu Alaikum.
Muslim brothers and sisters, I have seen and met many Muslim brothers and sisters who are ADDICTED to totally haram and meaningless songs with music (especially Mr.Akon), mainly the Muslims in non-muslim countries. As you know, music is totally haram and 99% of songs contain bad meanings and even worse, their videos. They also almost hypnotize us and so it even makes us to lose the remembrance of Allah(s.w.t). In order to tackle this problem, I have created a blog with wonderful nasheeds(Islamic Songs) for free download! This is the link: truenasheed.blogspot.com. It has MANY Halal songs all for free download. Now the problem is, maintaining the blog is of no use if there is NO TRAFFIC. Yes, this is the problem – NO TRAFFIC. Its been two months since its has been started and I have been updating it since then. I thought people would visit from time to time, but NO! Only 3 people have come so far! I have done some Search Engine Optimization and added some meta tags.
Please support me, spread this info to all your Muslim friends.
And those who are experts in this field, I would prefer some advice and tips from you to increase traffic. Please view my blog (truenasheed.blogspot.com) and see if it could do some additional optimization.
And yes, Im the same user as Dawah SFZ. Dawah Sfz is no more. This is my new name.

Jazakumullah Khairan.
@All the friends who have answered-thanks very much. Try to help all our Muslim brothers and sisters by some way so that they all of us may enter Jannathul Firdous, Insha Allah.(Ameen)
@fab – thanks for answering. Im not a big computer expert, and I dont know much about this website stuff. I just felt that I have enough knowledge to atleast make a ‘normal’ site. Anyways, Jazakumullah Khairan for atleast taking time to visit my page. I will try to make it play in the site itself, Insha Allah.
@ All those who are reading – please share this site among your friends.

Administrator answers:

Walaykum salaam. Mashallah, its really good what your doing, bit i think it would be better if you can listen to the songs directly from your site rather than downloading. I did try and download them though to put some on my ipod but i was too slow, i dont know if it was my laptop or your site but my laptops usually slow.

Sandra asks…

How do you calculate projected internet sale percentage for mid-sized company?

I’ve been asked to come up with growth goals for internet sales for my mid-sized company – specifically, what percentage of sales should come from the internet in 2008, 2009 and 2010 given where we are now, based on what % of sales of other companies similar to us come from the internet. We have three major brands that we manufacture, distribute, and customize, but currently almost 90% of our sales are phone/catalog/contract based, only 10% or less coming from our three very amateur e-commerce sites. We are about to completely re-vamp all our sites to modern, easy-to navigate/checkout e-commerce sites with search engine optimization. (Which is where I come in, I’m a staff artist redesigning the sites…don’t ask me why I’m responsible for figuring out this profit percentage stuff!) Anyone have any tips on where I should begin, what I should look at, or what’s a good % to realistically aim for? Any help would be appreciated!

Try this tool:

https://adwords.google.com/select/TrafficEstimatorSandbox

Google’s traffic estimator
a) plug-in the keywords for your business /someone with experience in adwords, ppc, generic words, and long tail keywords would be a definite asset for this exercise/
b) chose in the tool your target markets
c) play with economic, average and generous daily budget for PPC ads
d) see what is the expected number of clicks/visits
e) if your websites get tuned-up to sale, you have the chance to turn between 1% and 5% of all visitors into buyers.

Assume that in year one, the ratio visitors/sales will be closer to 1% and by the end of the second year it can go closer to5%… Make the calculatios. Done.
Hope it helps

What Is Blackhat SEO, White Hat SEO and Gray Hat SEO?

I received an email today showing me several
pieces of search engine optimization software
designed to generate traffic automatically
from high traffic sites like YouTube and

My question is,”What’s makes something blackhat

Hi Eric,

As you probably know, Willie Crawford is my marketing partner

Here’s the full story on this one:

A while back Willie asked me to review some stuff from
a fellow named Bishop Anders. Bishop has written a bunch of

stuff”. In fact, it’s a bunch of fairly simple tools.

The thing is what you can DO with them!

Administrator answers:

These are terms that describe search optimization behavior. Black hat is a person that breaks search engine guidelines to manipulate the algorithm to gain top rankings, with white hat being the opposite (doing acceptable optimization tactics to get high rankings). Unfortunately the industry is a Grey hat approach, and it is not a black or white issue. Just don’t get caught.

Questions About Jquery

Written by Administrator

Joseph asks…

Is it ok to use Jquery in my website?

Jquery (write less and do more) is a very good library.But it its not suitable for old browsers.Should I use it or just do the same coding by javascript

Administrator answers:

Why reinvent the wheel?

Lisa asks…

how to set containment for jquery ‘s function ‘resizable’ and ‘draggable’ at the same time ?

I have a div #parent with size 300px and 300px and i want to have a draggable and resizable div #child within the parent ‘s boundary. how to acheive this ? thank you.

Administrator answers:

Set the containment property like so:
$( “#child” ).draggable({ containment: “#parent” });

and so:
$( “#child” ).resizable({ containment: “#parent” });

Sandra asks…

jquery datepicker – how does it close when you click anywhere else on the page?

I have to use the same kind of functionality for a DIV and can’t see how it works.

I tried setting the divs blur event but this doesn’t work

Administrator answers:

The datepicker binds a mousedown event to the document. The listener determines if the event that has bubbled up has a target that matches the date picker.

Specifically, this function is binded to the document’s mousedown event:

_checkExternalClick: function(event) {
if (!$.datepicker._curInst)
return;

var $target = $(event.target);

if ($target[0].id != $.datepicker._mainDivId &&
$target.parents(‘#’ + $.datepicker._mainDivId).length == 0 &&
!$target.hasClass($.datepicker.markerClassName) &&
!$target.hasClass($.datepicker._triggerClass) &&
$.datepicker._datepickerShowing && !($.datepicker._inDialog && $.blockUI))

$.datepicker._hideDatepicker();
}

You could accomplish something similar by binding a click event (or mousedown) to your document. Check if the event target is your DIV (or a child of your DIV) and if it is not, close it.

Here’s a basic script to get your started:

$(document).bind(“click”, function(e){
var _target = $(e.target),
_selector = “YOUR_DIV_ID”; // Replace with your DIV ID

if( _target.attr(‘id’) !== “_selector” && _target.parents(“#” + _selector).length <= 0)
$(“#” + _selector).hide();
});

Helen asks…

Is there a way to solve browser compatibility issues using jquery?

Administrator answers:

It depends on the browser compatibility issue, jquery is just a helper library for javascript. If your old javascript wasn’t working on all browsers (most likely not working on internet explorer) then using jquery may help because they tried to develop jquery so that it would run on all platforms without having to code browser specific javascript.

With that said though there’s still two issues, #1 its not perfect, you may still use jquery in a way that not all browsers support, #2 jquery is ONLY a javascript library, if your site design (the html and css) is incompatible with some browsers then jquery will not fix this.

Short answer: it MIGHT fix javascript that isn’t working in all browsers, it WONT fix any other issues.

Federal Tax Return of Income Forms?

We are Non-US Resident aliens and we are living out of USA. Last year (Jan. 2008) we formed an Limited Liability Company (a Partnership with two

individuals – shareholders) in West Palm Beach, Florida.da. Our Gross Incomes are no more than $5000 and we don’t have any employees. We are doing web

design, search engine optimization, graphic design services and etc. The largest percentage of our business activity are web design services. We are NOT

selling our services in USA.

We have to file for (isn’t it):
“U.S. Return of Partnership Income – Form 1065″
“U.S. Return of Partnership Income – Schedule K-1″
and another one “U.S. Return of Partnership Income – Schedule K-1″

May I fill and file those federal tax forms above on my own without any professional help?

How to send IRS those forms above and how to pay my taxes (if I have to pay any taxes)?

What’s the tax rate for non-US citizens who’re owners of US company?

What’s the final date to file my tax report? – My tax year: 01.Jan.2008 – 31.Dec.2008

Should I fill a “Gross receipts or sales” in the Form 1065, because I don’t have any incomes from USA for the tax year?

Should I fill any “Deductions” in the Form 1065 – I have an expenses from USA companies.

What’s the right code for our Principal Business Activity when we’re using “U.S. Return of Partnership Income Form 1065″?
I’m talking about the items below from “Form 1065 – U.S. Return of Partnership Income”:

For Example:
A Principal business activity:
Specialized Design
B Principal product or service:
Web Design
C Business code number:
541400

Instructions: “Once the Principal Business Activity is determined, enter the six-digit code from the list below on page 1, item C. Also enter a brief

description of the business activity in item A and the principal product or service of the business in item B.”

Is it should be a “code – 541519 – Other Computer Related Services” or “code – 541511 – Custom Computer Programming Services“, “code – 541512 – Computer

Systems Design Services“?

What should I pay at all?
*) I’ve already paid my partnership annual report – $138.

Thank you in advance!
Stan

Administrator answers:

Hire someone. And then you can explain to them why you created an LLC when you have no intentions of living or working in the US.

The mere act of creating the LLC makes this income appear to be effectively connected income. The IRS is going to expect you to file a 1040NR with a schedule E. (You get a $3500 exemption.)

Ps, the person who collected the money and paid you was supposed to send in 35% to the IRS. Did this happen?

Questions About Jquery Ajax

George asks…

What is the best way to learn C#?

In regards to C# i am an absolute beginner. I know quite about Classic Asp, sql, and some javascript/jquery/Ajax. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
I was specificly looking for a way to pass a value a database and have it return a value. this would be a no brainer in asp for me, but when it comes to c# i am clueless.

Administrator answers:

Depends on what you want to do in C#, i started with a good guide for starters that taught basic c# in console games, then i started doing some stuff in XNA and followed the guide on the XNA website, after that i looked at a few other places when i ran into trouble but mainly just made a bunch of games and stuff.

What All to Learn for Web-Designing?

I know PHP a bit (learning it ) and some CSS HTML .
I am gonna learn Javascript and Jquery after this and also AJAX.

What else do i need to learn for making good looking and efficient Web-Sites?

Administrator answers:

Well, you must know how to design.
Start off by learning to make logo’s graphic’s content layouts in Photoshop, I recommend CS3, it’s expensive but worth it.
You could learn how to use FLASH, people like moving things on there websites, it makes it seem more advanced and more professional, it’s hard to learn but when you master it it’s a pretty good chance you’ll need it when web-designing, you could make interactive flash etc.
You could also use dream weaver, many people sue this program to help them build websites etc.
You know HTML? You should try learning coding for word press too, loads of professional websites are run by that system, like official artist’s sites like miley Cyrus or Avril Lavigne or linkin park.
Good luck.

Susan asks…

web developer – open source?

Hi, i am outdated to web developing. 5 years didn’t even do coding after graduate..

i still have some knowledge in PHP and MySQL, mind to ask what really these tools would be:
JQuery, AJAX, CSS, code igniter

what tool is good for interface design, still adobe dreamweaver? any open osurce GUI tools available there?

thank you

Administrator answers:

CSS is just a simple document format that describes style attributes for HTML elements. You can give them attributes at the element name or element ID level, as well as assign a CSS class to each HTML element and create styles for them. CSS is a convenient way of styling web sites w/o setting attributes on every HTML element.

AJAX is a mashup of technologies, javascript and XML. The basic idea of AJAX is to use XMLHttpRequest objects to submit pages without submitting them. When the XML is returned from the web server, it is read by javascript which reads the current HTML document and modifies it in real time, giving the impression that your web page is acting more like a standard computer application.

Sharon asks…

What Web technology should I study over the winter break?

This past semester in college I learned Django and fell in love with it. This was easy to do because I was already in love with Python. Anyway, my experience with Django made me realize that really what I want to do is web development.

I was talking with my professor and I think that jQuery is really cool. I already bought a book on CSS, but its a pain to read. Do you think I need to learn CSS first, or can I learn it as I go just by doing Django and jQuery?

Also, I have really basic knowledge of Javascript. Should I perhaps master that before I jump into jQuery? What about php? I think php sucks… should I bother learning it?

So here is a list of topics that I want to study over the break:
jQuery, AJAX, Javascript, CSS, other?

Could you tell me which one I should/can learn over the Winter break? I have about 2 months of break, so take that into consideration.
Some details: Django is a web framework with an Object-Relational Mapper that bridges the gap between the data model and the database engine. That means that I chose Django because I want to avoid writing SQL. Given that, would you still recommend SQL?

Administrator answers:

First off, I think you learn best from a project focused solution. From my daily work that’s web-development centric, I use my skills in this order of importance: Java, SQL, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, JQuery, and PHP.

Java, as a top level language for web development is still common, fast and useful.
If you don’t know SQL, you will never, ever be a good web developer.
HTML is where it all begins. If you know how to construct good HTML, any templating engine will be a snap.
CSS is merely an extension of HTML that helps you control style and form separate from the contextual information. My CSS grows with use.
JavaScript is a simple scripting language with several pitfalls in it. You’ll learn from doing, and this requires projects. AJAX is a way of thinking combined with a way of writing JavaScript. It’s okay to learn AJAX as part of a Javascript learning process, but most AJAX assumes you know DOM and understand how a page is put together. JQuery contains an implementation of AJAX. It’s fairly good and well supported though I miss the days of using Prototype. PHP is a fast and dirty language I can use when my local machines and for testing connections and server functions and security with quick web delivered scripts. Xend Framework is a good way to learn good php with a pleasant smattering of Java.

I urge you, if you’re not a master of SQL, to focus on SQL first. If you know SQL, feel free to delve into a few web projects where you intermix html, css, javascript and various tools like jquery and AJAX.

Update After the Additional Details:

Let’s say you have a website you’ve developed using Jango or Hibernate or some other Database abstraction layer and you see that the columns on a table displaying data your customer wants is incorrect.

How do you:
1. Validate that the data in the database is correct?
2. Correct database errors including wrong data?
3. How do you streamline the database, clean up long queries and backup and restore data that has been overwritten in the course of the day?

SQL is more than just the language you use to make queries for the website, it’s the language you do maintenance, adhoc requests and database streamlining. You’ll find few if any web developer positions where you’re not required to be an expert in SQL, even when they use database abstraction layers for this reason.

Appreciate your kind answers in advance.

Administrator answers:

You can use Joomla and use the VirtueMart plugin. It’s actually written in php but it’s easy to setup. You just need to know php if you want to create a custom templates. Otherwise, no programming required.

Another good open source for e-commerce is osCommerce. It is also written in php.

Niche Blueprint is also a great e-commerce solutions. It also came with the guides on market research, branding, drop shipping, and complete promotion plan and there’s a lot of templates selection but it’s not free.

There’s a lot of best free e-commerce software written in php and not in ASP.NET but I think it doesn’t matter anyway.

How do I publicize a website online?

I’ve made a simple website to promote my mom’s new psychological counseling service. In the past, there were simple web pages that let you submit your site to different search engines. Now when I search for such a service, all I find are search engine optimization companies offering to do this for a fee. What’s the most straightforward way to do it on my own?

Go to google.com and add your site in their web crawler. It could take anywhere between 1 – 3 weeks for your site to appear.

BLOG advertising,seo expert,seo experts,seo experts pakistan,best Seo company pakistan,best seo services?

Internet usage is now all the rage for people to engage in communication with one another. Although people use email, instant messenger and chat, others have begun to create a type of online diary that gives others the chance to both read and comment on the writings. Blogs have become ever more fashionable, being authored by celebrities of stage and screen as well as various places of business. But our first question remain, what is a blog?
Your blog is whatever you want it to be: it can be a personal diary that you share with the world, or your outlet for your political views. It can keep track of stories in the media, or connect a company to its customers on a personal level. Blogs are even being kept by family members to keep other family members who live too far away involved in their daily lives.
What is a blogs purpose? A blog offers a way for the author to share their unabridged opinion on any topic, without having to worry about being censored. Most blogs also offer a way for readers to respond to topics with their own thoughts and comments. Some blogs are authored specifically to spark a debate or engage the readers in a discussion.
Some blogs contain photographs that the blogger has taken themselves, or even videos of what went on in their day. Others may post material that others have authored to share with their visitors. Itas also common for bloggers to share links to web sites they enjoy, web site belonging to friends, and even the sites belonging to the visitors that participate in the comments.
Blogs can be insanely popular, and garner a lot of website traffic. Some of the most popular web sites on the internet are strictly personal blogs of individuals who we would otherwise have never heard of. People can gain celebrity status just from creating a popular blog.
A blog can also become a source of income for the author. First and foremost is the oldest method of turning your web site into a lucrative endeavor: advertising. Many bloggers offer advertising space on their site for a nominal fee. There are also multiple advertising management programs that bloggers can apply to, that deliver content-targeted ads, and pay the blogger for the views.
Bloggers have a number of ways that they can increase traffic to their web site; some hold competitions or offer exclusive visitor content. Some spend money to obtain website traffic in order to increase their viewership and thus, perhaps, increasing their ad revenue.
If you begin to wonder, what is a blog? You now know it is not a chance collection of someoneas random thoughts; it can be an educational experience, an amusing interlude, or simply mentally stimulating. A blog can generate money for its author, and if popular enough, it can provide its author with full-time employment.

I was wondering what techniques can be used. I heard about search engine optimization but what else is there? I also notice some companies that can guarantee x number of unique visitors to your website for a fee. Are these services worth it? what do they do to get that type of traffic?

Administrator answers:

Be careful of those services that guarantee you X amount of traffic — some are often low quality and some uses techniques that search engines hate that could lead to your site getting penalized

Here are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible:

1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement – if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.

2. Use social media. Twitter, Facebook, Stumbleupon, LinkedIn, Reddit, Digg and others can be a big source of traffic for your business. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important — and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools.

3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.

Google’s Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide (PDF format) http://static.googleusercontent.com/external_content/untrusted_dlcp/www.google.com/en/us/webmasters/docs/search-engine-optimization-starter-guide.pdf
Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com’s “Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day.” http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm

4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.

5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.

Here is a comprehensive list of where to submit your articles http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=1006022407481

6. Improve your conversion. Getting visitors is one thing; getting them to buy your products is a whole different story. Read the article ” How To Sell More on the Web: 30 Tips To Increase Conversion Rates For An Ecommerce Site ” http://www.powerhomebiz.com/092006/ecommerce.htm for tips on how to improve your conversion rates.

7. Post a link to your site for free where it is allowed (always read the Terms of Use). Examples are:

Craigslist http://www.craigslist.com
Google Base http://base.google.com

How to perform valuation of a company?

I have a company which provides services such as: Website design, Website Hosting, Search Engine Optimisation and domain registration…

We do not have many assets. Can anyone recommend a good way to value a company such as mine?

Administrator answers:

Hi
you should keep an eye out for references, the company should have their feet firmly planted on the ground, not making unbelievable promises etc.. They should be able to give you somekind of an analysis on your current sites state and suggest a plan. They should also offer you “legit” methods only, no tricks (black hat seo), you may get banned or penalised as a result.
Ask to see some samples to start with.
They should define what kind of reporting , stuff that youcan quantify, they will be presenting you.
They should definately answr all your questions clearly and openly.
And using just common sense will get you far, or somewhere at least. Shop around.

George asks…

Can a teen freelance web development on Craiglist or at all?

I’m 14, I’m pretty skilled at HTML, CSS, JavaScript/jQuery, PHP, and Python. It is legal for me to freelance online like that? I’d be very cheap, like $200 for a big project.

Either Craigslist or something like freelancer.com

Administrator answers:

In the Freelancer.com terms and conditions it states that you must be of 18 years of age to be eligible to use the site, this is due to the fact that under 18s in many countries cannot legally sign a contract, and joining the site constitutes signing of a contract.

As with your freelance work done of your own accord through any other site you use you are not legally eligible to sign or be party to a contract so in terms of clients you are in a dangerous position as you could potentially do the work and they refuse to pay you and you wouldn’t legally have a case to pursue with no contract of sale.

There is no law that says you cannot do this work under the age of 18 and be paid it is perfectly legal. You can go ahead if you want. For your protection though it would be safer for you both legally and professionally if you have a third party e.g. Your parents be the ‘broker’ of the sale. Either that or make sure you get paid before you do the work [not likely to happen though].

Mary asks…

Image to remain active in HTML/CSS?

when an image is made active i need it to remain active when clicked away.

I have 5 images that when hovered are switched colours, and when clicked change again. These go back to the deafult version if you click else where in the page, i need them to remain highlighted unless clicked on another image (which they already do).

This is just done with CSS at the moment,. I do not mind Javascript or Jquery.
thanks

Administrator answers:

I am afraid, we cannot get your question well enough. An image is not like a color to change. You could swap images based on events like mouse-click or mouse-hover; that is, replacing an image with another by changing the src attribute of an img tag (setting a new image URL). Do you mean you want to swap the image itself, or you mean something like changing the color of the border or the small frame area around each image?

James asks…

Where can I see how to make a user interface to change web content?

With the use of jQuery, javascript or ajax, where can I see how to create a user interface to change the content and CSS style on a web page, Then have that code appear in a text field area for “copy and paste”?
Thank you!

Administrator answers:

Using jQuery:
Your html should be like this:

element to edit

Your javascript, once they make their changes in the ui.
To change the content just do this:
$(‘#el’).html(‘newContent’);
to change css do this:
$(‘#el’).attr(‘style’, ‘newStyles’);
to retrieve the current state of the code:
$(‘#container’).html();

hope this helps

Help with using JQuery and Lightbox2?

I am using scrollTo and localscroll along with Lightbox 2.0 and they are not working together…its either one or the other depending on the order i put them. I looked into the JQuery.noConflict() but not sure how it works.

this is my codes using multiple jquery libraries

$(document).ready(function () {
$.localScroll.defaults.axis = ‘x’;
$.localScroll();
});

Administrator answers:

You are using more than one js framework so for jQuery you need to use jQuery instaed of $, or you can use noConflict method to assign jQuery to variable like in example below

var $j = jQuery.noConflict();

$j(document).ready(function () {
$j.localScroll.defaults.axis = ‘x’;
$j.localScroll();
});

Im running 2 domains with more than 2000 viewers. If you are the owner of the company, how much salary will u give me? so that i can join with urs….

Administrator answers:

I dont think you can go work for someone else. You seem more capable of working for your self and finding your own clients… Later on you can hire people.

12 clients is pretty amazing, i dont know how you could have learned all of this and be 17…

If youre going to work for someone ; youre going to be held down ; youre going to need to graduate university first..

Otherwise; work for yourself ; get more clients; and get paid more than youll ever get paid somewhere else… Your employer would see, like anyone else, why would you work for someone if you can work for yourself, unless youre not really doing that well with your own clients.

But if you really want to know how much you’ll get paid ; 30K per year…

Theyll wear you out ; in 5 years ; youll be surrounded by college/university graduates ; and you’ll be limited on what you know just from working there… You’ll be disappointed you didnt finish school earlier, or just work for yourself and save your humility

Paul asks…

Where can I find an e-commerce or tech job with my business degree?

Well I am graduating a week from today and I have finally realized that I am not cut out for my degree (or so I think). My degree is in business management but I can tell that my heart is in computers somewhere.

I run a small website (small because I lack connections with other techie people). But I love everything about designing my website, playing with and learning new coding, advertising and marketing, analytics, and all of the sort. I just landed a job as a manufacturing manager at a global company (my dad knows the plant president) however I can tell this is not where my heart will be.

What does someone in my position do? Should I go to school again for something computer, ecommerce, or programming related? Search for some type of entry level position in a tech company or something that could fufil my need for electronics as well as utilize my management degree?? If so, How???

Administrator answers:

You can easily market your experience as a website designer. If you haven’t already done this, create an account at linkedin.com and start locating other technology professionals who might be willing to hire you. You don’t necessarily need to go get a new degree in computer science, especially if you know something about social media marketing and website analytics (those are hot jobs right now in demand).

Helen asks…

Getting business?

I have decided to start doing some extra work outside of my normal day to day job.

I am a software developer and im wanting to get some work lined up. I.e. developing business applications for companies or individuals. Does anyone know what the best way of starting out is?

Maybe i should target small companies. Any advice or anyone require any software developing, maybe to help with stock counting within a warehouse, ecommerce systems, or help exporting and importing data bettween companies by the use of XML etc.??

I would appreciate any help

Thanks
If anyone is interested in me developing software for them please dont hesitate in contacing me on paul@roseby.co.uk
I am aiming to keep my costs as low as possiable as its just a little bit extra income. Probly around £50 to £100, unless the application is huge.

Administrator answers:

Targeting small companies is a good way to go as long as you can keep the costs down. Most small companies don’t have a lot of capital and are looking at free or close to it. But, they want to look professional on the net. Inventory, a good shopping cart with more than just paying, but options like Mal’s ecommerce and more would be great. Check your competition to see what you’re up against and what they are targeting.

Daniel asks…

Which stream should I choose?

Alright so my BA in IT (information technology) offers 6 streams:

- Marketing
- Management
- Technical & Professional Writing
- Health Industry
- Technology & Society

Which stream do you think I should specialize in? in regards to better job opportunities when I graduate, ofc.

Another option I have is to switch over to the BAS ITEC in Information Technology which offers the following streams:
- Business Systems Analysis
- Ecommerce
- IT Auditing & Assurance

Thanks so much!!!

Administrator answers:

I think especially with new health care legislation that the Health Industry is the place to go./

properties that are below 70,000 pounds

Administrator answers:

Where are you moving to in Canada? Vancouver and Toronto are definitely the most expensive cities, you won’t find a house there for under $200,000. Smaller cities, like Hamilton or Windsor you’d be looking at about $90,000 for a decent house.

what are the best websites to find apartments at a affordable price??

in buena park, cypress, la habra, norwalk, long beach, whittier…
cheap.. low income

Administrator answers:

Rent.com is pretty good, they will send you announcements as things open if you don’t see anything. Also if you’re low income, check with the local department of housing and community development. They have a list of certified landlords that have properties at reduced prices. Ask about their Section 8 program. You only pay a portion of your income for rent and the government pays the rest. These homes/apartments are usually privately owned, but the owner has a relationship with HUD and agrees to accept the rent offered by HUD. (so you may not know the actual amount you are paying; because HUD picks up the difference) so it’s a good deal for the homeowner, they can usually charge more becaue they are only restricted by the average amounts rental go for in a particular area. The plus for you is that the unit will be safe and well maintained because HUD checks regularly and is very responsive to the tenants if there are problems

What is a cute small dog that is affordable? And if you know any websites please tell me. Thanks?

Administrator answers:

Go down to your local shelter. They have LOTS of cute, small, mixed-breed puppies/dogs that are much cheaper to adopt than to purchase from a breeder. Usually around $100 to adopt where a breeder would charge hundreds of dollars to purchase from them. You can also request that the shelter call you when they get in a specific breed (they are receiving new dogs practically everyday). Just go to petfinder.com and type in your zip code or major city that you are closest to.

Donald asks…

JavaScript & jquery issues?

For my final project we need to modify our last project (a battleship game in javascript) to use Ajax to submit and retrieve stats and scores. My javascript looked like this:

Then at the bottom of the html body I had:

Now that worked just fine, but now when I try to include:

above the in-page javascript it says my function isn’t defined. Know what’s going wrong here? I already tried putting the include below the initial javascript and below the one at the bottom of the body still no luck. One way I tried even prevented my html tables from loading. Not sure what’s wrong any help would be greatly appreciated! (And yes my source location and filename are correct I’ve checked it already)

DHTML/AJAX Expand Content?

Trying to figure out a way to do an expand/collapse of a content in a div in DHTML/AJAX/Javascript, what have you… but I want it to have the effect of opening and closing, e.g. the “stretch”. I don’t have an example and I know this isn’t the best explanation…but basically you see the animation of it opening, and I’ve seen it done before without images, and without Flash, etc. I just forget where I saw it.

Anyone know how to do this? I’m opening to using frameworks (Prototype, jquery, etc.) if it’s needed.

Administrator answers:

It does not work properly on all browsers with

‘s: all interpret the arguments differently. Some will hide overflowing contents, some will add a scroll bar, some will write the contents on top of the division below, some will move the division somewhere else, and this, whatever the code you choose!!!
The only stable way to stretch or compress a “cell” is in a table.
Say a 3×3 table, all in squares. Through AJAX, I double the content of the center cell: the middle ROW will increase its height to adjust, without disturbing the layout…

Joseph asks…

How can I get the ids of the elements dropping and receiving (and the receiver’s parent id)? JS/Jquery?

Javascript/jQuery: In a drag and drop application, I need to identify the following things:
1) the id of an element that has been dropped;
2) the id of the element that received the dropped element (the receiver); and
3) the id of the receiver’s parent.
The receiver happens to be an li (and the parent is the ul), and the element being dragged and dropped is an li element.

So to clarify:
I have set it up so that li.draggable#uniqueid1 can be dropped on to li.droppable#uniqueid2 of ul.parent#uniqueid3 (read as element.class#id for this explanation’s sake).

The end goal is to pass an ajax call to a particular url that includes the 3 unique ids. Therefore, how can it be turned into something like: $.ajax({type:’POST’,dataType:’html’,url:’/index.html/uniqueid1/uniqueid2/uniqueid3′}); return false;

Thanks in advance!

Administrator answers:

The following illustrates one way to obtain the ids in question:

Dragable

Dragable Item 1
Dragable Item 2
Dragable Item 3

Drop Item 1
Drop Item 2
Drop Item 3

However it is not a very elegant solution for two reasons:

One: You can drag an item from the first list to anywhere but the second list and then drag from anywhere else on the page onto the second list and it will behave as if you had dragged from the first list straight to the second list.

Two: When you drag from the first list to the second list the browser shows the content between the two as selected.

I want to write an informative article?

I want to write an informative article on “Search Engine Optimization”
that’s about 1000 words..

How do I start that.. I am a very bad witer….. Please suggest me an
old discussion or kindly suggest me some tips. I am looking for some
detailed material.

I want to make sure I am aware of the writing standards before I do
that..
Hello buddies… sorry for my mistake.. Tips on “Search Engine Optimization” it was only an example and was not the actualy question. I need to know details on Good Writing Practices. Again, those tips below are very useful.
So, please write to me the details on Standard Writing Practices.

Administrator answers:

Here is my standard suggestions that might help:

Optional but very important:

A – Own your-domain-name-dot-com
B – Host your site on a reliable server

1 – Shorten the title to 55 chars
2 – Add the robots tag
3 – Place the robots.txt in your root on your server
4 – Get rid of the js in the code and put it in an external file
5 – Use css instead of color, size and font tags
5 – Change the link buttons or js links in to text links
6 – Make sure to have a site map page
7 – Make sure you have 404 page
8 – At the bottom of each page use menus as text links
9 – Make sure your page code is not bigger than 100 K
10 – Submit your site to ODP and Yahoo Dir, make sure to select the right cat
11 – Pay special attention to your content
12 – Try to get as much as relevant links you can
13 – Read each search engines guide lines and follow them strictly
14 – Don’t spam
15 – Don’t use doorway pages
16 – Don’t cloak
17 – Always come and ask for advice on this board
18 – And pray hard that the big G appreciates all your efforts

This will help as long as you follow each rule here

a few additions to this helpful list:

* use wordtracker.com to research the proper keywords for your site.

* include your keywords in the alt tags of images.

* use the H1 tag for page headings (you can alter the way h1 displays text with CSS. . .).

* submit to gimpsy.com and goguides.org (these are free directories)

Please help me with SEO!?? Thanks!?

Hi guys, I need some good effective tips / direction to some search engine optimization / web site advertising sites or information that is easy to understand and follow. Can you tell me where / how I can advertise my web page for free? I want to be sure it gets listed but I can’t afford ongoing or excessive fees

Thanks SO much, all help is appreciated. I’ve been searching online and now I am more confused and scared!!

Administrator answers:

SEO is very complex and it is a job field in itself. There are some basics you should know, but if you really want to get into it, it will have a steep learning curve.

Social portal/networking sites are a good place to advertise for free: Squidoo.com, Hubpages.com, Apsense.com & Gather.com are all good for this. These are places where you can create one-page websites to advertise your site and get some visibility. There are other services like MyBlogLog.com which can bring in traffic if you become involved with it.

If you want to really get into SEO, use the guides I’m attaching below (don’t worry, everything is free and there’s no dumb links or sales pitches)

Jenny asks…

Need a little help with SEO!?

Hello everyone. I have recently made a online game website. I am to the step of SEO(search engine optimization) and I realized that I dont have much text for search engines to pick up. Could you give me some tips on how to add text for search engines pick up on?
P.S If you would like (you dont have too) you can see my site for yourself. www.holycowgames.com
THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!

Administrator answers:

Make sure you have great content full of your keywords on all pages not just your front page. This will help if you cant see the text on the body of your pages you want to be found for how can people find you …. Hope this helps.

Thanks

New Website Help? www.FreePrizeSite.com?

Hi, I Just recently started my new website.

http://www.FreePrizeSite.com

I Need some feedback, suggestions, and tips.
I’m Kinda lost in the whole running-it thing, and need help in advertising, Search Engine Optimization, and anything else that may be helpful.
Thanks

Administrator answers:

Well I took a look at your website, and I’m a little skeptical. Two main things bugged me: 1) Why do you have to complete the sign-up process by telephone? Sorry, but I just would never input my phone number for something like this. 2) On your ‘terms of service’ you say that “You may not sell, delete, or exchange your account unless allowed by FreePrizeSite.com” The fact that I cannot close my account at any point I want is a huge problem for me.

Here’s a website you should check out, it might be able to help get some free traffic.

Http://www.adgridwork.com/

This website is great for web advertising. It’s a free targeted advertising (based on you selecting various categories you would like to be included in) and link exchange network. You put other websites text ads on your page and yours appears on others. And it really is 100% free, forever. While it’s not something that guarantees traffic it also doesn’t cost anything, so why not try it?

Good luck!

Questions About Jquery

Written by Administrator

Chris asks…

Is it possible to have a hyperlink attached to an array item of jQuery Autocomplete?

Administrator answers:

No. But you could check the selection, and if it matches a certain criteria, then simply open that page or direct the current window to that page.

Cheers,

Gitlez

Robert asks…

How to detach jQuery event handler from object?

function save_form(js_clicked)

{

if(js_clicked == “WIP”)

{

jQuery(function( $ )

{

$(‘#contactForm’).unbind();

});

else

jQuery(function( $ )

{

$(“#contactForm”).validate();

How to use toggle of jquery? / How to create toggle box from jquery?

Administrator answers:

Try this:

– JavaScript –
function toggleDiv()
{
$(‘div#toggleMe’).toggle();
}

– HTML –
Toggle the invisible div!

I’m an invisible div, unless you click the toggle link!

– Alternatively you could use: –

– JavaScript –
$(document).ready(function(){
$(‘a#toggleDiv’).click(function()
{
$(this).next().toggle();
});
});

– HTML –
Toggle the invisible div!

I’m an invisible div, unless you click the toggle link!

Donna asks…

Is it necessary to have all version of jquery on your website?

Example Using jquery-1.2.1.min.js, jquery-1.4.2.min.js etc on one website? Will this bring about a conflict? Why should I do that or why shouldn’t I. Please explain your answer well. Thanks guys

Administrator answers:

Why would you? Just use the latest version that does the job. If you use a library, then simply insert it after your statement. If it doesn’t work include a lower version until you find the most compatible.

Richard asks…

Is there a way to make a slide down login page without jquery?

Administrator answers:

Why would you want to slide down without it? Either write your own, use jQuery or use another javascript framework.

You could possibly use HTML5 transitions if you have read up on that, but not all browsers support HTML5 right now.

I have an on line e-commerce website, I want to generate traffic to my website. Right now I don’t know which advertising company to use in order to generate traffic to my website? Any suggestions? Thank you very much.

Administrator answers:

I found this great marketing/advertising/PR agency. They do a lot of interactive work and are great with increasing visibility.

Mary asks…

What is the easiest way to create an Online Store / E commerce?

I know how to basic webpage design and programme but I now want to add an e/commerce or Online Store to our website.

Is there a free/good value download that I can trial before I buy or can you guys recommend one.

Cheers in advance!

Administrator answers:

One free, well respected, open source online store is osCommerce – http://www.oscommerce.com/

It’s reasonably easy to set up and to integrate with your site. It’s also pretty flexible. And you can’t beat free.

Laura asks…

What steps do I need to take to launch an e commerce website?

I have built an e-commerce website which is ready to launch. I know I’ll need to register as a business but what other steps do I need to take and can I launch the site now or are there steps that I have to take before I do. I’m sorry if I’ve phrased things simplistically, that’s why some advice would be appreciated. Thanks a lot

Administrator answers:

Assuming you’re in the UK, launch your site and tell Inland Revenue within three months of starting that you’re running a business.

It’s a good idea to keep your business and personal finances separate so it’s worth looking into having a separate bank account. Most banks give you a minimum of one year’s free banking when you start up.

Have you a set of terms and conditions on your website that comply with Distance Selling Regulations? It should be done as a matter of course and it also helps your customers trust you.

Once you’ve sorted that out, concentrate on marketing your site. Drive traffic to it, don’t wait for it to be found.

Good luck!

Linda asks…

Does anyone know how to determine what the infrastructure of an e-commerce web site is?

I need to outline the key technology infrastructure necessary to support an e-commerce business. Where do I look for this information? I know what to look for just not where.

Administrator answers:

Start with the basics.

There’s always going to be a real-time database. Oracle? SQL Server? Postgres? MySQL? What is the expected peek transaction rate? How many records will there be? What are the requirements for keeping old data online? What kind of data mining (analysis) will be done? What will the schema look like? Will you need a clustered database or a single instance? How do you recover data from serious failures? The size of your data set will often determine what kind of recovery you can do. If it’s very large, you’ll probably need Oracle.

Then there’s the front end. Today, it’s going to be a web server. IIS? Websphere? Apache? If the web server is known, a choice needs to be made regarding the application platform . VB, C#, Java, Perl, PHP.

Do you plan to build your shopping cart or will you buy it? Or, do you go with a free open source package? What databases does it support? How do you add and configure product data? How do you pull reports?

There may be middleware for tracking inventory, sales, purchases, analytics. SAS? Business Objects? Cognos?

You’ll need an electronic payment solution. How do you accept credit cards or e-checks? Do you get a merchant account or go with PayPal? Or do you signup with a 3rd party vendor that outsources this? How do you integrate their API? How do you sync their sales data with yours?

You’ll probably want a SSL certificate to run parts of your site with secure encryption.

You may want email software that can personalize and send receipts, subscription passwords, etc. If it’s high volume (say 200k to several million a day) then you need a bulk mailer, otherwise you could manage with simple open source software.

You may want backup hardware. How do you integrate your backups with your DB and web logs?

There might be a second offline database used for data warehousing. Running reports, ad hoc reports, analysis, projections.

And, ask people who know.

Of course, all of these things can be outsourced, which is often cost effective for smaller businesses, but not for large ones. They may host portions of your infrastructure or offer a whole package solution. Determining whether to outsource is largely dependant on the quality and size of your IT staff, your budget, security requirements, and how vital certain components are to your business.

You could also contract someone to build it for you, but as always there’s a risk they’ll hand you something that looks like spagetti if you don’t check references.

There’s another thing to. If you’re selling a physical product, now you need a product fullfillment center. Will your family and your garage be suitable or do you need a warehouse, tracking software, and 30 employees?

George asks…

Questions About Search Engine Optimization Jobs

Sandy asks…

Any help on search engine optimization?

Me and a bunch of friends are registering an I.T company but we’re all inexperienced but relatively skilled. My job is to be the “online presence”. Running the blog, advertising on sites and search engine optimization. Since i know nothing about these topics, i’m turning to the internet for help. A comprehensive tutorial on search engine optimization, some help on web advertising especially on social network sites and a link to a similar establishment’s blog that i can use as a model would be much appreciated.

Administrator answers:

This is a rather deep question, but the first thing is content. Content is the thing that search engines love. The more specific you get with your content, the better. The more helpful your content for those that want your services, the better because it will be more likely to be shared on social sites and referenced on other web sites.

You need to do research about your target market to figure out the best things to write about, especially if you have a brand new site. In the “source” section below, I have referenced an article I wrote about choosing an effective domain name. I have also listed a couple web sites where the authors of the sites do an excellent job of being found by search engines, all do to their content. Notice that the articles they write revolve around specific topics and are helpful in nature, not just begging for a sale.

I have also listed as a reference for you search engine watch, which has been around for decades and has excellent advice on search engine techniques.
