The game discussed on the old boards is still being planned and I still looking for Ideas. So far

• The main user interface is a Desktop with ICons and a task bar.
• The player will download new "sub apps" that will be in password protected zip files (password will be bought with money raised in the game.
• There will be other hackers to watch out for. EG if you are hacking into a server and there is someone allready doing it you are exposed and can be easily hacked.
• Viruses will be made with a very basic script designed by moi.

I need more ideas and would be more than willing to make it a group project. And most importantly I need a name for the game?

This is what my editor screen looks like

Go here and scroll down to wysiwyg editor and sellect all top one I think

i already did that!!
i could see you were using ie. im using mozilla. when i viewed the editor in ie, i got everything!, but for some reason, mozilla doesnt show it all...im gonna have to go through by settings...

mozilla complies more to te w3c standards than ie, and unfortunately doesnt support a much javascript.

on sites which dont comply fully to the w3c html 4.01 transitional standards, mozilla uses a quirks mode, which attempts to emulate a buggy render of the page (inother words it tries to make it look like ie), but it isnt perfect.

i did email brian about a similar problem a few days ago, and support for more browsers may be added later on, but as he rightly stated, theres far more ie users than mozilla users, especially on a forum for windows programmers...

ug.....guess ill just switch to ie, or deal with it in mozilla

well id never encourage anyone to switch to ie, so i best mention some downsides lol...

the netscape rendering engine is slower than gecko,
ie is open to hijack scripts due to a poor bho installation 'feature',
ie doesnt comply very well to ANY w3c standard, so sites tested in it may not work on other browsers,
ie is virus-friendly (just like outlook infact... but i must admit to using outlook hehe).

obviously theres plenty more, but if i let my anti-microsoft side through i'll be here all night...
