Dynamic Header for a website. DOUBLE POINTS FOR ANSWER!!

I don't even know where to start with this one, let me try explain this:
I am looking for ideas on how to create some sort of dynamic header for an affiliate website, we have launched a new affiliate program for http://www.africancures.com/ the affiliate program is done through 1shoppingcart.com and each affiliate is given an ID like:
http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=812264
Once the affiliate signs up they choose their own website URL like: mikeshealth.com, then we point the affiliate URL mikeshealth.com to http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=812264 which in turn comes to our main website: http://www.africancures.com/ now here is where the problem comes in, how do I make the website display Mikes Health instead of African Cures .
I hope I was able to explain this well enough as it seems to be a bit confusing to me when I write it down. I really hope there is someone out there who has worked on something like this before or if there is someone who thinks they know how to do this.
Thank you
So here is something else I was thinking of, but I am not much of a programmer anymore:
Have a list of all the affiliate ids and their corresponding website names, eg:
Affiliate ID=812264 Website name= Mikes Health, then when someone comes to the site the jave works out which affiliate id sent them to the site, eg
Get(AffiliateID)from Refering.URL then Display.Header(AffiliateID) on main page, do you think you could help me now Sabre150?

I'm still trying to see what this has to do with Java. Each host name such as mikeshealth.com will need to be registered with name servers with the IP address of www.1shoppingcart.com. Your web server will then need to be configured to perform perform any mapping.
Again, what has this to do with Java?

Double Points for New Games?

I've been a Gamer's Club member for nearly a year now, and I've never seen the double points for any of my gaming purchases. Is there something else that I need to do to 'activate' this promotion, or is it just a glitch?
Do double points only happen when you purchase games for your 'preferred' system?

Hi house1548,
I'm very sorry to hear that our Gamers Club has only been half as awesome as it should have been for you since joining. I can imagine this has been a surprise to learn, and I want to get to the bottom of it with you!
I have reviewed your account, and everything appears to be in order, so I am not sure what may be causing the discrepancy. I have reached out to our partners on the My Best Buy team for further research, and as soon as I have more information for you I will let you know via a private message.

Best Practice for Updating Administrative Installation Point for Reader 9.4.1 Security Update?

I deployed adobe reader 9.4 using an administrative installation point with group policy when it was released. This deployment included a transform file. It's now time to update reader with the 9.4.1 security msp.
My question is, can I simply patch the existing AIP in place with the 9.4.1 security update and redeploy it, or do I need to create a brand new AIP and GPO?
Any help in answering this would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't update your AIP in place. I end up keeping multiple AIPs on hand. Each time a security update comes out I make a copy and apply the updates to that. One reason is this: when creating the AIPs, you need to apply the MSPs in the correct order; you cannot simply apply a new MSP to the previous AIP.
Adobe's support patch order is documented here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/498/cpsid_49880.html.
That link covers Adode Acrobat and Reader, versions 7.x through 9.x. A quarterly update MSP can only be applied to the previous quarterly. Should Adobe Reader 9.4.2 come out tomorrow as a quarterly update, you will not be able to apply it to the 9.4.1 AIP; you must apply it to the previous quarterly AIP - 9.4.0. At a minimum I keep the previous 2 or 3 quarterly AIPs around, as well as the MSPs to update them. The only time I delete my old AIPs is when I am 1000% certain they are not longer needed.
Also, when Adobe's developers author the MSPs they don't include the correct metadata entries for in place upgrades of AIPs - any AIP based on the original 9.4.0 MSI will not in-place upgrade any installtion that is based on the 9.4.0 MSI and AIP - you must uninstall Adobe Reader, then re-install. This deficiency affects all versions of Adobe Reader 7.x through 9.x. Oddly, Adobe Acrobat AIPs will correctly in-place upgrade.
Ultimately, the in-place upgrade issue and the patch order requirements are why I say to make a copy, then update and deploy the copy.
As for creating the AIPs:
This is what my directory structure looks like for my Reader AIPs:
F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\9.3.0
F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\9.3.1
F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\9.3.2
F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\9.3.3
F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\9.3.4
F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\9.4.0
F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\9.4.1
The 9.4.0 -> 9.4.1 MSP is F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\AdbeRdrUpd941_all_incr.msp
When I created my 9.4.1 AIP, I entered these at a cmd.exe prompt - if you don't have robocopy on your machine you can get it from the Server 2003 Resouce Kit:
F:
cd \Applications\Adobe\Reader\
robocopy /s /e 9.4.0 9.4.1
cd 9.4.1
rename AdbeRdr940_en_US.msi AdbeRdr941_en_US.msi
msiexec /a AdbeRdr941_en_US.msi /update F:\Applications\Adobe\Reader\AdbeRdrUpd941_all_incr.msp /qb

Not receiving double rewards points for transactions

Hello, I tried to send a private message to Blake_BBY to address this before I posted on here, but I haven't heard a response yet. I noticed I have two recent transactions, one in store and one online, that aren't showing double points. I have other transactions from a few weeks ago that successfully added double points, but not these for some reason. Not the biggest deal, it's only about 35 total points missing, but just wanted to see if I was missing something somewhere. Thanks,James

Hello Jcparks1229,
I apologize for the delayed response. I was able to locate your account and it does appear a few transactions are still pending to be processed to your My Best Buy account. Please allow 15-20 business days from the final transaction for the points to be allocated.

SSRS 2008 Column Chart with Calculated Series (moving average) "formula error - there are not enough data points for the period" error

I have a simple column chart grouping on 1 value on the category axis. For simplicity's sake, we are plotting $ amounts grouping by Month on the category axis. I right click on the data series and choose "Add calculated series...". I choose moving average. I want to move the average over at least 2 periods.
When I run the report, I get the error "Formula error - there are not enough data points for the period". The way the report is, I never have a guaranteed number of categories (there could be one or there could be 5). When there is 2 or more, the chart renders fine, however, when there is only 1 value, instead of suppressing the moving average line, I get that error and the chart shows nothing.
I don't think this is entirely acceptable for our end users. At a minimum, I would think the moving average line would be suppressed instead of hiding the entire chart. Does anyone know of any workarounds or do I have to enter another ms. connect bug/design consideration.
Thank you,
Dan

I was having the same error while trying to plot a moving average across 7 days. The work around I found was rather simple.
If you right click your report in the solution explorer and select "View Code" it will give you the underlying XML of the report. Find the entry for the value of your calculated series and enter a formula to dynamically create your periods.
<ChartFormulaParameter Name="Period">
<Value>=IIf(Count(Fields!Calls.Value) >= 7 ,7, (Count(Fields!Calls.Value)))</Value>
</ChartFormulaParameter>
What I'm doing here is getting the row count of records returned in the chart. If the returned rows are greater than or equal to 7 (The amount of days I want the average) it will set the points to 7. If not, it will set the number to the amount of returned rows. So far this has worked great. I'm probably going to add more code to handle no records returned although in my case that shouldn't happen but, you never know.
A side note:
If you open the calculated series properties in the designer, you will notice the number of periods is set to "0". If you change this it will overwrite your custom formula in the XML.

How can I make a intro page for my website, then after the intro has run make the page automatically change to my we site home screen

how can I make a intro page for my website, then after the intro has run make the page automatically change to my website's home screen

You can do this using a meta refresh but the problem is you have to add it to the html file for the page very time you publish changes.
A better way is to create a splash page and upload it to the server outside of the folder produced by iWeb. Example HERE.
The meta refresh is added to the head section of the html file...
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="32;url=http://www.domain.about.com/Page-Name.html">
The delay time in seconds is marked in blue and the URL to the redirect page is in red.

Help, how do i find out the host server for a website i have inherited

hi i inherited responcibilty for a website, simply because
there was noone else avalable. i have dreamweaver cs3, but only
about 2 weeks worth of knowledge and experience. I was given info
ie. ftp address and username etc, so have been able to download the
website to my home computer, and have been making updates, now
however i need to find out more about setting up a test server so i
can use dynamic pages, specifically for collecting form
information, collecting donations and selling art work. i will need
some information from the host server to start with, but am unsure
as how to identify and contact them, can anyone help me please. I
am sure it is rudimentary, but the information is essential.
also as a side note, could anyone tell me how to find out
where the websites domain name is regestered ( other than
contacting the original designer, as that seem quite impossible)
because i get the feeling that if all else fails i may be able to
move the website to another host ( not that i now how yet, or even
how to select or find a host) please let me know if any of my
assumptions are wrong.
Thanking you in advance

Hi,
To find out about the host, go to register.com and look up
the domain name.
When it gives you results, it'll say that the name is already
taken, but it
will let you do a 'whois' on it.
Those results can give you some info such as the server DNS.
That may let
you figure out the host.
Sometimes the technical contact in the whois, is the host as
well.

Should I still down-size photos for my website?

Hi - I am making a website. I know - or at least I think I know - that you should down-size your images for fast loading times. For example, if I have a photo that's 3800x3800 and is 2 MB in size, I always down-size it to maybe 1000x1000 and about 150KB or so.
I know we like to think that "everyone" has a fast web connection but I don't think that's always the case and with mobile you have to factor that in too.
A colleague working on another website asked me what I thought of her photo gallery. She had a thumb nail and when you click on it, it opens up much like a light box effect. Her large photo is 1200 x 1200 and is 1 MB in file size. I pointed out to her that she may want to take the larger photo and if she wants to keep the 1200 x 1200 fine, but she may want to reduce file size. I got it down to about 180KB and sent them to her side by side. She said she was worried about the quality (I honestly did not notice anything but maybe her eyes are better than mine).
I know there's always a catch-22 of "quality vs. file size." So with all of this said, I'm just asking for links, opinions, and so forth about this. I also tried explaining that phones don't always have great connections so the down-sizing should be taken into consideration.
Should I continue to scale down my photos like I have been as described above? Or doesn't it matter any more - that I can take a 1 or 2 MB photo and just use that for my web image to display in a photo gallery?
Any thoughts, links to articles, etc., are appreciated. Thanks, Deaf Guy

Hi Osgood - I'm fully aware of shooting high res and down-scaling for whatever you need the image for. Some folks I've worked with over the years were totally unaware. They thought you could shoot a low-res image and then blow it up to your heart's desire.
I totally understand and respect your thoughts on your post. I basically look at as to each his own - whatever makes you and your clients happy is the key. At the same time there should be at least a minimum amount of standards and expectations, too. Taking a client photo that was given to me and it's 2500x2500 and 2.5 MB and they say, "Stick this on my web page," I think it's important that they understand that this is not smart because of the large file size, possible slow connections and so forth.
The only time I would post it as is if it was some kind of photo gallery where you would want the person to have access to the large file (similar to what iStock does).
I think educating your client is also important. When I sent the side by side photos to her, she said, "So how do you do this?" This person is also a web developer to boot. I'm not criticizing her, but I thought most web developers would at least know about scaling down photos for websites.
But anyway, thanks for your post on this.

Double space for period. How about comma, too?

It's already kosher with the interface guidelines to
double space at the end of a sentence to get a
period, so how do I get people on the bandwagon
to make the spacebar a dual- or tri-function spacebar:
double tap for a comma, period, or question mark:
|   ,   |   .   |   ?   | <-----spacebar with
-----------------------           punct zones
Double-tap at the left edge for comma space, double-tap
near the middle for period space, and at the right edge
for question mark space. Why have to go to a separate
screen to type a comman and then come back to the text
keyboard? That's inifficient.
Comma, period, and question mark. That hits most of the major
marks used. Yeah, there's the exclamation point, but the
real estate on the spacebar reliably handles only three
marks. Four may be hard to employ, but I may be wrong.
I suggested this to Apple two years ago, and nothing's
been added to the OS.
Comments?

Firstly, when I said InDesign inflates the space I didn't mean it whacked in a great chunk of space. It just gives a little bit more air relative to the fit of the text around it. You may not always see any noticeable difference. But when I read a book I don't want to see obvious white spaces at the start of every sentence. As long as the full point and following capital letter register on my brain fast enough that I am reading a new sentence, that's good enough for me. I think it makes reading more fluid. If you want to see extra space at the start of a sentence, then it's probably best to carry on with your double spacebar - unless you want to try something more exotic like a fixed width space.
I didn't mean you to literally type <full point><space><any character> into the find. I was just trying to tell you what to input. Type the full point, hit the spacebar, and then use the options list to the right of the find field (shown as a @), select "Wildcards", then select "any character". What you should see in your find field is . ^?
You could then enter . ^?      - that's two spaces. See why I spelled it out as <space>? - into the change to field.

Need Help making a navigation menu for a website

Alright so I've been having some problems getting this to work correctly. I am making a navigation menu for a website and I'm trying to get when I hover over the main header a drop down appears animated of course below it. I also want when you highlight a specific text line for it to highlight blue along with a rectangle behind it to change to a lighter shade of red.
Some of the problems I have been running into is play and stop commands on mouseover and them not stopping when they should and getting the text to change color.
Thanks for the help.

Your page's code is still a bit of a wreck. Do you ever look at it?
<html>
<style type="text/css">#p7MBM_1 {
width: 951px;
You need a doctype first - I recommend HTML4.01 Transitional. Open this (and other pages) in DW and use FILE | Convert > HTML 4.01 Transitional, then save. But wait until you do the other changes recommended below before doing this.
Add a <head> tag below the <html> tag.
Add a <title> tag below the <head> tag.
Add this below the <title> tag - <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
Add </head> below this -
<style type="text/css">

</style>
You may want to change that font-family style to "Goudy Old Style, Geneva, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif", since Goudy is not web safe.
Move <body> below that </head> you just added.
That will clean your code up a bit. Let's look at the page again when you have done these.
