USB to VGA? or how view web sites greater than 800x600?

My young children have a couple of hand-me-down iBook G3 clamshells. They're loaded with the newest version of OS X that they can handle (can't remember what that is off the top of my head - 10.3?) They're working great for how they're needed with one exception. Some modern web sites are configured to display a page that is larger than 800x600 AND are configured to disable the browser's scroll bars, so it's impossible to navigate to the parts of the web page that are not visible within the 800x600 resolution native to these laptops.
My first thought was to override the web site and show the scroll bars, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do that. That may be the best way to approach my problem if anyone can tell me how to do that.
My second approach was to look at USB-to-VGA adapters and attach an external monitor (I have an unused one collecting dust). But every such adapter I've looked at lists various versions of the Windows OS as a requirement. Are there any USB-to-VGA adapters out there that have been tested and proven to be compatible with Macs?

You can try Opera Webbrowser (Minimum OSX 10.3)

Opera allows to set the global Zoom to 80% which looks like 1024x768
Just an idea for VGA output: You will need a firewire Clamshell which allows you to hook the iBook to a TV with a special cable

Buy a composite-to-vga converter. But i don't know if it will work and the result will be worth the money.

Viewing web sites with Adobe Flash contents

How can I view web sites with adobe Flash player plugin for safari on iPad?

Sorry, you can't.
Thoughts on Flash
But a lot of sites are converting to HTML5 and there are other options.
Examples from Steve's link above, "YouTube, with an estimated 40% of the web’s video, shines in an app bundled on all Apple mobile devices, with the iPad offering perhaps the best YouTube discovery and viewing experience ever. Add to this video from Vimeo, Netflix, Facebook, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, ESPN, NPR, Time, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Sports Illustrated, People, National Geographic, and many, many others."

Strange problem viewing web sites.

Hi everybody,
I am having a strange problem viewing web sites. There are certain web sites that when viewed on my mac certain content that shows up on other computers (mac and pc) does not seem to show up on my mac. At first I thought it was a safari problem and maybe I installed a filter or some thing but regardless what browser I use, the content is not there. For instance: Spinepodium.com one of the sites I am building - I just recently added Google Adsense to the page. When I view the page on other computers (mac and pc) the ads show up just fine. However on my mac it is as if the code is just not there. I have noticed similar things on other pages as well.
Any help would be great.

Video plays for me on the site you posted.
As I suggested, install the Flip4Mac plug-in. After installing, open the preference file via System Preferences>Flip4Mac. On the Plug-in panel, 1st and 3rd boxes are checked. On the Movies panel, 1st box is checked.
Just in case, go to the Utilities folder>Disk Utility and "repair permissions" via the First Aid panel (click on your HD on the left of the window, "repair permissions" will appear on the right. Restart the computer. Try the video in Safari.

While viewing web sites the screen suddenly jumps like it is resizing itself. Doesn't matter what site I'm on. Also I have to click links/back button at least 2 times to get it to respond.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

I want to view web sites in more than one open window instead of tabs. How do I change the settings to do that?

I want to have more than one window open with firefox at the same time instead of having multiple web sites up using tabs. but every time I try to do this a tab opens instead. I am using windows 7.

You can copy a bookmark from one folder and paste it in another folder to have a copy in more than one folder.

My expecthat there would be no ads, vulgar picture ads, when viewing web sites. How do I remedy this? Thank you.

I opened the web site to a local newspaper and there was a ad, with a all hanging out lady and I am seeing this and so is my 9 and 6 year old. Someone who I know that uses Firefox told me he doesn't deal with the ads. So we are now trying out Firefox upon his recommendation but I am not sure what to do to eliminate ads.

You should not be getting any ads using Firefox unless the website specifically put the ads on there.
You can scan your computer for malware and get an addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-edge/?src=ss
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Viewing web site

Hi All
I am experimenting with different colours and page designs
with a client but
the site comes up using probably two thirds of the screen on
their PC.
They can view other websites without a problem.
We can view it ok here on several PCs
They have a new PC with Windows XP not sure about explorer
but probably 7
and I think they have a 19inch screen.
The address is www.hitechdemo.net
Could I please have some views on this problem and if it can
be fixed does
anyone know how ? We cannot go forward until this problem is
out of the way.
Regards
Helen

I'm not exactly sure what you are seeing as a problem? Can
they *not* see
all of the web page and are only seeing a portion of it, or
is it the fact
that it is sitting on the left side of the screen with empty
real estate on
the right (if they have a larger monitor with window open at
full screen?)
I viewed the page in FFox, IE6 and IE7 and the page was left
aligned and no
problems viewing the whole page.
Only problem I see is on the
http://www.hitechdemo.net/Houses.html
page,
where the text (graphic) in the footer is being repeated
twice in Firefox
and IE.
Also, you have a table width declared:
<table width="993" height="465" border="2"
bordercolor="#006600">
Is that what you intended? Or did you want a 'fluid' design.
Also,
bordercolor is decrepated and shouldn't be used. You should
define the
table border via css.
table {border: 2px solid #006600}
That will look much cleaner across browsers.
PS: You also need to define a color for your page background,
for the
header and for the middle content area, I'm seeing my
browsers' default hot
pink which I don't believe you want :-) I'm not sure what
color it's
supposed to be... white I'm guessing.... so you need to add
background-color: white to the body tag.
If I've got it all wrong, please explain further what exactly
you have
having a problem with :-)

How do web site created with After Effect differ from that created with dream weaver or Flash?

As I have some experiance not much in After Effect..I have created my website in After Effect., I have no knowledge of Dream weaver or Flash.. My web pages take too much time to open., due to it loads SHOCK WAVE and it take much longer time., were as I see many a website created in other software opens prety fast. As such I want to know whether creating website in After effect is right or not., and how to speed up

You do not create websites in AE, you can create at best animations and that is what you ahev done - produce a fat SWF file. You are really using the wrong tool and should better spend your time on learning HTML and CSS proper and do your website in Dreamweaver or otehr web design tools. And no, Flash is not a website design tool, either.

Problem with viewing web site- feedback needed

I have a friend who had his site redesigned and integrated with Paypal recently.
He is a Windows user and I am a Mac user.
For some reason I am unable to view the blue Buy Now buttons on his site and if i keep trying long enough the browser will suddenly tell me that the site server cannot be found.
I was told by paypal that it was a cookie problem but i completly cleared out everything and it still does not work.
I have tried both IE and Firefox. IE will work for me sometimes, but once the problem begin happening in Firefox then IE stops working also.
I have also tried using my PC and if i use it before the Mac, i can see it fine but if the Mac starts messing things up i will no longer be able to view it on my PC. I called a friend while having this problem and he said he could see it fine on his PC (not Mac).
I am beginning to think that it is a wireless network problem since i have tried everything else i can think of.
Could some of you please view this page and just let me know if you have any problem seeing the two top Buy Now buttons?
Please also let me know what browsers you used...
The BUY NOW buttons in question should be just below the Download buttons...
Please give me some feedback. This will help me decide if it is a local issue or not.
URL for the page is:
http://www.butlerofficepro.com/products.html
Thanks, this would be a great help to my diagnosis 8-)

Works fine here in Safari.
I think you have a Router problem, or a Modem with a Broadcom Chipset in it.

Re: Viewing web site

Hi Nadia
Thankyou so much for your very valuable help.. I never dreamt
in my wildest
dream someone would go to that trouble for me. I really do
appreciate it.
I think I have learned more from your file in the last hour
than the last 3
weeks of playing with it myself! I now need to get into how
you did some of
them!
I have completed what you suggested. The real picture in the
header table
will have a couple of photos and text however I have created
a gif file with
a photo on the left and one on the right.
When I view it in a smaller resolution I lose the photo on
the right.
I would be very grateful Nadia if you would go one step
further for me and
let me know how would you handle it ?
Once again thankyou very much for you help Nadia
Regards
Helen

No problems Helen, really glad to help and I've so happy that
you are
learning along the way.
The problem with your header iimage that you have it at a
width of 993px, so
if you drop the window size to less than that it won't work
as a fluid
layout. What you need to do is create a background image of
that greenish
gradient only and use it as a repeating image across that
table...
repeat-x; and then maybe insert another couple of cells in
that talbe and
put the actual house and logo graphics into those cells. that
way, there
won't be any 'restrictions' on that table (being an image set
at a certain
width) and the page will expand and shrink like it should.
I hope that helps, I can't really do a demo for you as it's
rather late here
and I'm just about ready to close for the night. Post back if
you are
having problems, and I'm sure someone will be along to help
while I'm
catching up on some sleep :-)

Is SHA-1 example shown on this web site better than UNIX crypt()

Hi,
For a project I am working on I have to store passwords in a database. I want to store this passwords encrypted and my first thought was to write/use an emulation of the UNIX() crypt function e.g. UnixCrypt. However I am concerned that UNIX passwords are easy to brute force unless you have a very strict password policy....
However I saw an example on this website in response to a similar question and it was suggested they use SHA-1 to generate a one-way hash and Base64 to encode the result before storing in the database. If I force people to choose passwords longer than the traditional 8 chars allowed by UNIX and use SHA-1 to generate the hash will it be harder to discover the passwords using brute force that it is for the standard UNIX passwords ?
regards,
Jeff.

Only if the passwords chosen are secure. If someone chooses the word 'password', it won't matter which hashing algorithm is used (and Base64 is an encoding scheme, which doesn't add any security). Regardless of how passwords are encrypted, they should always be protected as if they are plaintext. A very strict password policy, along with regular attempts to crack your own password databases would also be wise.
More simply, SHA-1 is considered to be a far more secure hashing algorithm than crypt(), and because Java has built in support for SHA-1 via the java.security.MessageDigest class you'll also save yourself some work.
Good luck,
-Derek
