The 'ErrorBox' function exist in two userlibrairies.

You must delete the Droopy Lib or the RequesterPlus Lib.

Sorry.

I tried to rename this function in the next release

( And the InfoBox too )

another solution (temporary):
delete 'droopy' from pb directory\PureLibraries\UserLibraries
download tailbite (if u dont already hav it) - if tailbite doesnt put itself in the tools menu, u have to add it ureself, commandline: the tailbite exe (i cant remember its name....), arguments: "%FILE" MAKE SURE U PUT %FILE IN QUOTATION MARKS (" ")
open droopy source code
rename the conflicting functions
save
compile with tailbite
should work....

and by the way, errorbox() is my function....

Please read, some of it is very important!!

ive been doing some major work on the site for droopy's lib, there are some major major changes in the design..... (but it only works in internet explorer... sorry, im still trying to work on getting it all working - its the dropdowns and other browsers.... - and it they dont display in firefox at all!

)

anyway, among these improvements, (i hope u like them) there has also been a change in the server it is on: it is now at: <old link> - now the site has no ads!!!

(i may release a help file that has the site url fixed)

the site still needs some work done, the scripts that let u contact me or droopy dont work.. (well the ones that are on the server dont - im almost finished the scripts that most likely will work

)

anyway, i hope you enjoy the new site (and the fact that there are no more ads on it

)

if anybody wishes to translate the site and/or the help file into another language, email me or private message me, im especially looking for people willing to translate into german, french (droopy doesnt have time), spanish, and possibly even dutch. some others couldnt hurt...

if anyone wishes to donate server space (with php support and possibly an sql database) that would be greatly appreciated, cos at the moment, im still looking for an sql database...

(and looking back on it, this has to be my biggest post on this forum....!!

)

The dropdown menus don't work with Opera either.

yeah, i know they dont work with opera - i test it with opera aswell - and i did say that at the moment the menus only work with iexplorer , and i am trying to fix this.... does anybody use netscape and have any problems?

the site is very dynamic (php) so it should be easy to change the position of the menus for the different browsers........

does anyone know where i can get a free mysql account to use? (cos believe it or not, the site is on a free webserver...)

lexvictory · Post by **lexvictory** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 1:00 pm

site is now fixed so that internet explorer users get a dropdown menu version and any other browser gets a non-dropdown menu version

and even if u use opera with it pretending to be IE, u will still get the non ie version

now what im looking for is a smtp server on the net or a server that lets me use the php mail() function....

Thanks for the lib!! very, very nice work.

Yesterday i took a closer look on it and I noticed the following problem:

If I use GetExtensionIcon() with extension like "html","xml","css" and so on. I do not get the browsers Icon or the correct icon which is assigned to one of this filetypes. why? Explorer shows the correct icon assigned to this files.
Maybe there is something wrong? Other filetypes (.doc etc) works like a charm!

Anyway.... good work! and keep it up!

Greetings
