Computer Tips

Many people often email me asking for help about how add scripts such as the colored scroll bar, the famous snow effect script etc, so I will try to help. I do not have any intentions to make any tutorial site, I'm just trying to help those who ask me for a little help. Sometimes I cannot reply all emails so quickly, so I created this page where you may find some useful information.

I often match the scroll bar colors with the backgrounds, so it looks very nice. It is a lot of work if you have hundreds of pages and uses different backgrounds like me, but I think the result is very nice, so it is worth doing it.

Scripts such as the snow script is nice in some pages, but it is better if you do not set the number of images that will fall to more than 8 or 10. Some scripts may also slow down other people's computer. A long time ago, when I used dial up connection, all pages I tried to visit that had some particular scripts normally froze my screen and I had to restart the computer, so every time I went to a site and that happened, I had to leave because I couldn't visit it. So it is advisable not to have too many scripts running on a single page or you may have many visitors quitting.

Below there are a few things people often ask me. Please, do not forget to give credit to the sites where I got the scripts from, do not give the credit to me because I did not create them. :o) Thank you !

Write this in the HEAD of your document before the title of your page:

This code is for a silent no-right click. It works much better than the one with a pop-up message, however you can use both at the same time in case you want to display a message with your own text when people right-click on your pages. If you do not know the difference between them, right click anywhere on this page. You will see the no-right click script with the pop-up message. When you use the silent script, the message window does not pop-up. :o)

The no high-light script will keep people from high-lighting your text and clicking on copy on their browser. If used together with the no-right click, it will make it more difficult for people to copy your pages. Of course, there are many other ways for dishonest people to do copy and steal things, but...

People who have use Internet Explorer 6 can easily save graphics from pages with the no-right click script. A small window appears when the cursor is pointed to an image and people have the option to save it. I did not know how it happened until I installed IE6 in my computer in March 2002, but I use this tag in all my pages since 2001. It was sent to me by a friend. Feel free to copy and paste it into the HEAD of your document.
