calling all Javascript boffins...

[polar_ben]

Why can't I get this to work properly?

www.northpole2003.com/test/images.htm

rather proud with the rest of it, though - all xhtml, CSS and not a table in sight

edit to add - it's very much a work in progress - ignore most of the text...

What's not working? Can't see any JS errors...

Do you mean the image popup? If so, could it be because it's trying to load "images/2003-02.jpg" instead of "tmbs/2003-02.jpg" ?

Edited to say: Nice site! Bloody good work for a madman.

The pictures right? Some load up some don't - 404 file not found error.

Obvious to say, I'd triple check you have uploaded the images.

Edited as bonce beat me. didn't notice the thmbs images bit. Doh!

Images are there, I can get it to work and fail but not in any sort of order.

BTW turn directory browsing off on test/images...

[polar_ben]

I think I've sussed it - some are .jpg, some are .JPG

how do I do that?

[Plotloss]

Good one.

JScript is also browser sensitive, Netscape for example doesnt support all the properties...

[Plotloss]

Whats the web server?

If it IIS its in the properties of that virtual directory within the MMC.

If its Apache I believe its some switch in a file with an enormously complicated name.

BONCE!

[Bonce]

Apache? :shrug: m'dunno!

BTW, for me the images that don't work have "/test/" in their path.

In your apache conf (usually /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf unless set to some other location) look for the root <Directory....> directive. There is probably a line similar to: Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Remove the 'Indexes' parameter from this line. What this does is if the URI requested is a directory and there is no index document (usually index.html or some derivation), then it will display an index of file listing for that directory. I'm not sure about how you would "limit" this so that only internal users could see the index and externals could not. I am sure that there is a way to do that, but I am not positive what the method is. You can also limit individual directories with: <Directory "/my/path/to/an/individual/directory/"> Options -Indexes </Directory> The '-' before Indexes removes that option. Directory directives are nested. Ie, the one that defines options for the web root defines those options for all files and directories under it. The example above defines additional parameters for itself and all below it as well.

Oooh you clever bugger...

Unix - Mandrake 8.1, apparently (means nothing to me)

the /test/ bit should be fixed - try refreshing it...

BODO!

I am afraid one needs a beard to be any further assitance.

Linux indeed!

Google to the rescue - needed a .htaccess file.

Sorted.

Yes, I have a (short) beard (only because I couldn't be bothered to shave me every morning), but I have NO SANDALS, and I drink NO REAL ALE (what's that anyway?)

Isn't Apache the same on Unix and Windows?
I haven't worked with Apache yet, but it's installed together with the documentation on my current machine. Anyway, nice you sorted it, Ben
