Me either. "Fight Club" has me scared of lye, so no real soap making for me. Oh yeah, and human fat. That scares me too.

Ok - looks like this thread is a bit derailed... so...
It's a serious problem. You're calmly having a few too many, hit a thread that fires you up, and all of a sudden you're posting ludicrous non-sense, but with the aid of careful typing, staring at the screen a bit too long, and a spell checker built into the forum, you've got a coherent mess of insanity that just makes you look like a complete jackass!
I wonder if you could make any money attaching those breathalyzer machines that they use on cars to your computer to stop you from becoming a complete idiot in front of the entire world...-Renegade (August 27, 2007, 08:01 PM)
Maybe I overreacted. Some serious family issues have arisen and it has been difficult for all of us to deal with them calmly. *If* I overreacted, my apologies.-fowmow (August 27, 2007, 03:45 AM)
No worries - just please be forgiving the next time I get blitzed drunk and start posting completely insane drivel!

You're questions are totally out of context....Addons for what? COM components for what? Copy protection for what? Be more specific please.-Ehtyar (August 26, 2007, 08:37 PM)
You should write a book. You are much clearer then Mr. Flanagen.-ljbirns (August 24, 2007, 08:54 AM)
I thank you for all your help.-ljbirns (August 24, 2007, 08:54 AM)
I truly don't understand the difference between Javascript and CSS. Flanagan's book came.. I'm beginnig to think he might as well have written it in Greek. But since I am retired now I have plenty of time to see what I can learn.-ljbirns (August 23, 2007, 01:44 PM)
I tried to use a GIF file that is on my HD instead of the URL. I changed URL(" xx") to
file("c:\map.gif"); as in # 3 above . It did not work. Is the syntax for files different than URL's ?-ljbirns (August 23, 2007, 01:44 PM)
At any rate I do thank you for all the time and effort. This website and forum has
great people on it.-ljbirns (August 23, 2007, 01:44 PM)
Hey Cpilot, they have a code block for FBSL too (in case you didn't already know).No I didn't fowmow, I'll check it out.-fowmow
Usually I just open an instance of notepad and throw a script together.-Cpilot (August 23, 2007, 10:59 PM)
Thanks for the Link to the FBSL ONLINE STUDIO COMPILER, I'd lost it actually.-Cpilot (August 23, 2007, 10:59 PM)
Clever idea CPilot
Now where is that online fbsl to exe service that used to be available?-mouser (August 23, 2007, 03:41 PM)

I wonder if there is a nicer speech engine i could get to make the speaker a bit smoother.-mouser (August 23, 2007, 06:12 PM)
Thanks everyone for the great work on this, this is pretty cool actually.-mouser (August 23, 2007, 06:12 PM)
@fowmow
Let me guess. You are using the "classic theme" on your windows. Well, that is obvious.
But i think it is the reason why the buttons are 'blank'.
Truth is, I haven't noticed that until i have finished coding. I designed my GUI while using the windows XP default 'Luna Theme'. But that will also be fixed.
Thank you fowmow.-ronriel (August 17, 2007, 02:00 AM)
The program ( NirSoft > SeqDownload ) downloads the radar sweeps from NOAA to my HD. At some point I run the animation program ( part of SeqDownload) It " animates" the radar sweeps one at a time every X milliseconds.
You are correct in that is does open up my browser ( Firefox )to show the animation and the background file that I have added. I have the file but for some reason it splits ( see my earlier post blue line ) and so the radar scan is not accurately placed. I ordered Flanagan's Book from Amazon. Should arrive any day.-ljbirns (August 17, 2007, 08:58 AM)

You can use JS to code for WSH (Windows Scripting Host).
You can use it directly to do smtg with your files on disk
or use it e.g. in an text editor like PSPad to extend the editor functionality--AbteriX (August 17, 2007, 10:10 AM)
I know nothing. I want to learn. I am trying to use an image as a background in a program that is on my HD
( Not a web page ) I get the image OK but it appears split. The left portion of the image and then the image again. See screenshot. Note the BLUE line and the repeat of the image .
I been trying to solve this for a week. I figured a good SIMPLE book would do the trick. Between all this info I should be able to work this out.-ljbirns (August 11, 2007, 07:28 PM)
