HTML - Good Security Practices
Hi Guys,
I have created a basic secure login for members to my site. There is noting really secure on the members area but it started me thinking on what I can do in order to improve security. Does anyone have a set of steps they follow when creating a login using php and html pages? How do I stop people just going straight to the succesful login page and bypassing the login screen for example? Thanks all Similar TutorialsI'm having trouble providing the best download experience for my users across all browsers. In my opinion, the best experience is to have the user stay on the same page and just have the save dialog box pop up. Here are three ways I've tried: HTML Code: <a href="installer.exe">download installer</a> <a href="installer.exe" target="_blank">download installer</a> <a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="dynamicallyInsertIframeWithExeAsSource()">download installer</a> All three behave differently in different browsers. Some will open a new browser window that covers the current one. Others flicker that new window briefly before closing it. Some will just whiten out the current page. I just want to know what method will work consistently across all browsers and not have new windows popping up, weird flickering, or whitening. Hi all, I'm about to create my first multilingual web site in English / Spanish / French & German. Will be written using PHP & MySQL I have friends who are happy to do the translating (it's not a huge amount) but was wondering what was the best way to set it up. My idea was to have the browser language detected on load and a session variable set to whatever the language is. The text for the whole site will be stored in the database and the correct text chosen based on the session var (default will be English, just in case!) I will also provide links to change the language manually. Do you guys think this is the best way to go about it? I would also like the search engines to be able to pick up the fact that the site is available in different languages. thanks for any advice. I've made a lot of progress on my website: Bands 4 Babes but I'm still struggling with getting everything to look the same on all the different browsers. Basically what I'm finding is: Chrome and Safari (PC) - Displays exactly as I want it to Firefox 3.5.2 (PC) - Displays properly except for the Home link in the purple bar is a few PX too far left and the --- above home is a line too high Firefox and Safari on Mac - FF exhibit the same problem as above, but most fonts (sizes and faces) are off on the mac versions. This also throws off alignments of other stuff. IE8 - Two solid lines on top and bottom of page are a few pixels too low which ruins the continuity of the box frame I created. If somebody could take a look at my code and give me some thoughts on what the problem is I would really appreciate it. Thanks. Sorry I am not sure if this is the right forum but i have a qestion: Hi I currently have a web application that presents a user with a username and password box (text boxes) - once the user registers their password is encrypted and stored in a database. My question is this - the password is sent from their machine to the server in plain text. Is there a simple way of encrypting the form without using javascript to make it more difficult for their password to be seen across the internet/network Also are there basic security issues i should look into or does any one have any resources/links that will help me make a secure site. PS the client may not have the .NET framework installed so no .NET solutions please Thanks and sorry for the general nature of the problem Dan. Good morning: I'm doing okay in the search engines, but I wonder if this is a good header: <HTML><HEAD><title>BestStudentViolins.com - Stringed Instruments and Sheet Music for Contemporary Musicians</title> <META NAME="Author" CONTENT="BestStudentViolins.com" /> <meta name="keywords" content="violin,viola,cello,bass,cases,bows,student violin,student violas,mandolin,guitars,sheet music,sheet music, free music / > <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" / > <meta name="description" content="beststudentviolins.com/ - BestStudentViolins.com/violins.html - Stringed Instruments and Sheet Music for Contemporary Musicians" / > <meta name="Identifier-URL" content=http://beststudentviolins.com /> <meta name="Classification" content="beststudentviolins.com/ - Stringed Instruments and Sheet Music for Contemporary Musicians" / > <meta name="Author" content="beststudentviolins.com/" customerservice@beststudentviolins.com / > <meta name="robots" content="index,follow" / > <META NAME="rating" CONTENT="General" /> <META NAME="revisit-after" CONTENT="15 days" /> <META name="resource-type" content="document" / > <meta name="copyright" content="Copyright (C) BestStudentViolins.com.

I did all of the coding in dream weaver(Yea by coding I mean drag and drop )Everything looks great opened up in dream weaver. Then when I open it in a browser (IE and Firefox) everything is all chopped up. check this out. First shot is in DW, second shot is opened in IE: What do you guys think? This is only the second website I have done and havnt had much formal training so im kind of flying by the seat of my pants. Thanks in advance!!! EDIT: You can actually go to the home page and see how bad it looks. www.miattconstruction.com the home page isnt AS bad but go to project or contacts and the pages get worse. So, I have my logo which is a GIF with transparent background. I have placed it on a webpage that has a solid background using CSS. As my deveopment has been with ie8, its all been fine. I tried it on another computer which has ie7 and the image looks rough. The outside has a small white border and it does not sit nicely oin the background. I upgraded it to ie8 on that pc and now it all looks lovely again. Is there something I can do to make it look better on ie7? Trouble is, that's the only pc we have that had ie7 on it so I don't know if its all ie7, or something was up with that install. Thanks in advacnce. I'm trying to create a spreadshirt layout that can go good with my website... freewebs.com/stevenwang Anyone have any ideas? litclothing.spreadshirt.com Hi everybody, I am building a new website, and I have a browser compatibility issue. I'm using a table - and I'm looking to have a border, thin blue bar, text, thin blue bar, then border. My HTML displays fine in Firefox, but it looks like junk in IE (fat lines MUCH larger than 5 pixels!). Can you help me by telling me why? Thanks Jason ----------------------------------------------------- <table> <tr height=5px> <td> </td> <td style="background-color: blue;"> </td> <td>My Text</td> <td style="background-color: blue;"> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> I have a webpage I put up and I have ie9 but I noticed under my daughters ie8 browser the fonts are all a diferant size. Checking the screen resolution on her laptop it is the same as on my comp so it must be the browser. I do not want to list the url to this page because I do not want the page listed in the search engines. So I attached as a txt file. Is there a fix for this? I know the header sucks under any screen res. but it is the fonts I am worried about. They are a differant size under ie8. The bottom section of this page looks good in IE but not in Firefox... anyone know why? Here's a screenshot of the Firefox page: http://www.massagelaunch.com/firefoxtableproblem.jpg and you can see the IE version he www.massagelaunch.com (scroll all the way to bottom) hi, im creating a script where users will be able to upload files to my site from a form, i was wondering if i could stop files from being executed from the upload directory because if a user desides to upload a harmfull php file them execute it on the site, well it would be bad. so, can i do this by setting the directory permissions (chmodd) to 444, only allowing reading? thanks! Hi, just wondering if there was any way of having a little password box without too much messing. Also without somebody being able to view the source and find out the password. I know some companies do this sort of thing but you have to pay for no ads. Preview: You just enter your password, click a 'Login' or 'Enter' button and away you go to another page. But if you get it wrong you just go to a 'Wrong Password' page. At this address: http://into.net23.net/ beyond the index page lies just one other file, an .html page, on that page is a string of characters. This is a website created to test security for a website at a different address, it is my hope to keep paid content there using this format, without using any genuine security. I have tried all i know to find the page, download the entire website. nothing has yielded this page yet. Can anyone find this page and tell me what this string of characters is please? Or is it genuinely secure? Hi, I have made a website for a friend and it has a guestbook. The problem is that someone makes lots of entries and link to sex sites and things like that. I guess mabye its a program somone made to do this, but its really annoying. Is there a common way of solving this problem? I have some ideas but dont know how to do it: 1: How can i check entries if they contain cirtain words, and if they do, not make that entry. 2: How can i make entries with a html link not enter in the guestbook? Or HTML code at all. Hope someone can help me out. Parashurama I am working with a new client and am trying to access their admin area on the ecommerce site. I think I found the correct directory but am not able to get past a directory security pop up that asks for login information. Of course the client does not have this. I have FTP access and am trying to figure out if I can get around this pop up and finally get to the admin login. There is a .htaccess file with the following contents: PHP Code: #AuthType Basic #AuthName "OS Commerce Administration" #AuthUserFile "/home/lucid/.htpasswds/catalog/admin/passwd" #require valid-user I've removed this file completely and I still get that pop up. Can someone help. Please. Hi guys, I need help with password protecting a specific area of my website. Easy?! Me thinks not. Here is the challenge... I need to create a popup box that appears when people navigate to a specific page of my website. No username, just a password to continue. HOWEVER!!! the page(s) can only use HTML due to browser restrictions. If anyone has a way of doing this then please let me know. If you need more information please ask. Ill try anything you throw at me and let you know if it works. Please also send a short detail of how to use whatever you send if it is slightly ambiguous to apply. Hope to hear from yous all soon!! P.S. The password cant be 'EMBEDDED' in the actual page itself, because to me that is not really defined as 'secure'. Its like having a post-it stuck to your credit card with you PIN number on it. Encryption is allowed and works in this specific browser. Hi everybody, For some reason, my site sucks in IE but it's good in FireFox. When I view it in IE, the tables are all out of wack, and it doesn't look right, but it looks fine in firefox. The site is http://74.53.110.194/~redstar5/ thanks for your help, treadstar Do you know any good podcasts ? (psd to xhtml) I want learn how to convert psd to xhtml+css... Once again I have no idea where this post should go. Please move me and accept my apology. Here's the deal: I want to help out someone who has limited programing skills. Also, I don't want to give them access to my server. I am looking for a free program where she could add javascript and html code to the site for affiliate links and banners. I need her to work completely from the back end of the program. Plus, I don't want to baby sit her site either, just set it up and let her have at it. Would a blogging program be able to do this? I don't blog, so I'm not sure what's best. She's been pushing Cash Crate on a freewebs site and actually making money! So I know she can do better with better affiliates if she just had a chance. |
