Hello Babu,

I found your webpage after searching for an Excel de-duper. I just wanted to thank you for having that resource available. It is very useful and works like a charm.

By the way, your pictures of Ooty and comments about Kovalum reminded me of the time when I was fortunate enough to visit Kerala. Thanks
for the flashback!

Vattekkat,

First let me say thank you... I found your site accidently about a month ago, and have been a regular site visitor ever since... you have helped me a great deal with my mshtml editor work.

I am currently trying to impliment an HTML Tidy function for my editor... similar to yours. I am testing out post processing, and would also like to set it up to do it through javascript like you do. Do you still offer the web service from you server? If not, where should I go to find a web service to use, and/or where can I go to find out how to set up my own little web service like yours.

Thank you,
chip

Hi there
I have just discovered your site, while looking for ways to integrate the
IE editor in (non-asp) database driven webbsites. I am currently using
Lotus Notes as a webserver, and would like to be able to save wysivyg

this yet, but have found your site most interesting and intend to return later.

I'm very impressed with your website it's clean, nice and functional. You have interesting links on it.

I call it a high quality web design.

Congratulations !

I'm looking at oswd.org to get a web page model, I'm a
programer not a designer, and your page is a good
model, will you be annoyed if I use your page as
template for my own personal web page ?

If not probably I'll use it and will put a credit and
link on it to your website.

Dear Mr. Babu

First I have to compliment you on the way you have your site layed out. It's nothing like th other script or development sites that
are so confusing just to move around in.
The reason i'm writing is because I've always wanted to know how to program from scratch whether it be CGI, Perl,ASP,VBScript
ect...

Chris asks about what is the best way to start programming. IMHO, try Python and the Python tutorial at www.python.org.

Satheesh,

I have been playing around with your printit.php3 script. It works great
except that it is very slow on my server. I'm using php3 ad I have tried it
the php4 loaded on the server also. Both are equally slow. I noticed on
your site that it is very fast, is there a secret of some tricks that you
found to make it run smoother. My other php scripts seem to run just fine.

Thanks and keep up the great work

Joe

vsb - Only reason I can think of is that Joe's hostname lookup from his webserver is slow.

I am using PHP on a website for the first time, and researching it on the web. Your tutorial is the best I have found so far for my needs. I was not looking so much for syntax (although your thumbnail sketch of the syntax appears to be superb), as "strategy" and "best methods" for incorporating it into a site.
I'm printing out your tutorial as I type. I'm sure they are going to help me "hit the ground running."

About the software

Front-end is Zope.
Uses Gadfly as the database. You can easily change it to use any other RDBMS. Only problem with this application using Gadfly is that Gadfly doesn't support Date as a datatype.
When someone signs the guestbook, an email is send to the administrator (me!) about it.
Administrator can go and approve the entry, in which case it will become visible for everyone.
Or this entry can be deleted. Very useful for managing criticism.:-)
