New Website being created !

[mtaman02]

Hey All,

With at least 1 day to go before the practice and competition days takes over Week#4 I have decided to work on something a bit constructive.

I'm building a website in which will allow you be able to get to the information quickly and easily!

The content of the website will host the following.

Team Rosters (Information Reguarding Team# / School Name and Location [similar to the white paper I posted in January])

The Game Manuals and Team Updates (Information Reguarding Game rules and other important information)

An Event Calendar (Information Reguarding upcoming events and due dates for FIRST Related projects [autocad / chairmans etc...])

A miscellaneous section for Flash / HTML / MS Office based game utilities that you the teams create. All you have to do is send me a link to d/l the game or utility and I'll link it to my website that way there's always a copy of it available.

A Useful links area. (the only 2 useful ones I know is FIRST / Chiefdelphi oh and Innovation FIRST)

The Link to this will be http://firstprojects.tripod.com

Edit:// 25% of it has been uploaded. You should find the 2003 and 2004 Team Roster accessible as well as the Competition Pit Timer created by Team 810 the Mechanical Bulls and the Score/Rank/Award Booklet created by myself.

It looks like it'll be good when finished. One thing I might say is that if you could reduce the amount of variation in the background, it might be slightly easier on the eyes. 'Course, that's just my opinion.

Nice site so far.

Ok Changed the font to a solid white. Is there anything else I should include on my website. Remember this will pretty much be a 20MB Temp HD with 16MB Left lol. I see it as a HD b/c its only got like 3 HTML pages and nearing 1/2 a dozen zip files. In any case. If you would like any of your "small" creations to be kept for alternate Team Access. Send me the file via email **SEE PROFILE FOR EMAIL** I'll be more then glad to upload it to my site.

2003 FLASH / HTML Game is now available to d/l at my site
2004 " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "

Links to FIRST's 2003 Rule Book and Competition now uploaded

Ok It has been determined that

Internet Explorer has picked up a stack overflow at line 0 when loading this page
Netscape Navigator has not picked up this said error.

Those with Mozilla and Fire Fox and other such browers need to let me know if you do or do not get this error.

Those who know webpage design I could use some help in finding out if its a problem with the HTM coding or if its just Microsucks problem

I use IE6 (with all the latest updates installed) and had no issues opening and viewing your website.
You have also done a good job with the site so far.

[Alex Cormier]

how do you use the pit timer?

[mtaman02]

There is a read me file with the pit timer . this was created by T.810 The Mech. Bulls in 2002.


The way it works is The time already there is taken from the computer

Where Round 0 is you may change that to your next match
Where the 0:00 is where you imput the scheduled match time. so for 1:15 PM you would input 13:15 which will auto matically convert to the standard 12 hr.

You may change the message it displays and the Backround while counting down in the *.cfg file also located in the ZIP.

Any questions feel free to direct them to a member of 810
and like I said theres a read me file there so check it out first. Its a fairly simple program and doesn't reuqire much effort esp since we are already concentrated on fixing a robot and not a PC program j/k

[mtaman02]

Even though one of 2 items really don't count anymore:


2003 FIRST Calendar
2004 FIRST Calendar - Additional Items to be added: Off- Season Events and Corresponding Info.

Are now uploaded

[mtaman02]

I haven't been working on this website lately but I did add maybe one or two small things.

1) A drop down menu of teams with websites - this is taken from the 2004 roster. Beats having to open that large file to look for a website when all you have to do is scroll down to find it now.

2) I also added a couple of small links. Parallax (P-Basic), FIRST Q&A.



Thats really about it

Any ideas or suggestions you know where to find me !

Ok Guys Its that Time:


Thats right time to help me =)

Listen I having issues implenting some JAVA into my website

Heres What I am trying to do:

1) I want a JAVA Application to load when the url of my website is opened.
2) I want the JAVA App. to stay open for about 5 - 7 secs and then forwarding to the actual website.

I am using a program which has been rejected by most but is quite useful for rookies that myself and others can understand - Microsoft Frontpage 2003
I would like to get a better web designing program but they're fairly expensive.


Thanks for any help in advance!!!

You want a timed redirect? I think that can be done in script. But I don't actually know how.

For finidng info on time delays using java(if you are so inclined to do) go here and follw the instructions...just set up the page like any normal one then have the URL redirect to be to the new page that you want. This site will probably answer many questions you have in the actual code, not sure what it can do for your program though. Good luck and feel free to PM me if you get stuck on anything...
