Ok if you are like me then you use the FF Web developer toolbar allot. I noticed it went away after a windows update. My productivity went down since the addon makes it so easy to debug websites or test out some css w/o committing the style. It took a few hours of testing / searching but here is the FIX:

For some reason IE will not submit a form when you are missing a submit button or when you have a submit button with a display of hidden or the button inline css on it.

Here is the fix for that:

<input style=”border:0; width:0; height:0″ type=”text” size=”0″ maxlength=”0″  />

Add this before input=”submit” , and Enter key works in MSIE.

There is a ton of java out there and even jquery has a fix for this but the code above will work. I hope this helps.

Lately ive been receiving a ton of compliments on my new phone system. People think i paid a ton of money for it, but in reality I used Toktumi which is  14 bucks a month. Toktumi is a phone service that is perfect for those who work from home or want to setup a virtual PBX that extensions ring to different cellphones.  I got the service and the phone adapter, its similar to the magic jack. The voice quality is decent and when im not signed in the auto attendant routes my calls to my cellphone. I moved over  from vonage and the folks at toktumi moved my number.

Below is how you rename a table in mysql or phpmyadmin

RENAME TABLE first TO second

replace first with the name of the original table and second with the new name.  Its good practice to have backups of the database just in case.

There are a couple of ways you can reset your lost OSCommerce RC1 password, the fast way is to login to your PHPMyAdmin and edit row 1 in your administrator table and change your password to this:

6cdd7c57450225fac77427f5962bb726:40

this will change your password to “pass”

Another way is to run this query:

UPDATE `administrators` SET `user_password` = ‘6cdd7c57450225fac77427f5962bb726:40′ WHERE `id` = 1 LIMIT 1 ;

this will also change your password to “pass”.

I hope this helps you reset your lost and forgotten oscommerce password.

Before you start - backup your table, do an export with phpmyadmin.

Step 1: Move the non duplicates (unique tuples) into a temporary table

CREATE TABLE new_table AS
SELECT * FROM old_table WHERE 1 GROUP BY [COLUMN TO remove duplicates BY];

Step 2: delete delete the old table
We no longer need the table with all the duplicate entries, so drop it!

S.E.O - Search Engine Optimization, is a topic that strikes fear in a web developers heart. Its the most unpredictable aspect of web design/development. SEO is not difficult however you need to have patience. There are thousands of companies that promise you number 1 rankings on Google. This is the first sign that the company is not being honest, I don’t care if your are Sergei Brin - you cannot promise a company number 1 rankings with out a competitive analysis. Don’t get me wrong there are some companies that can get you to number one using some black hat tactics which can result in getting “Google PWNED” ( this is when Google figures out the exploit you used to get to the top and kicks you to the end of their index). Believe it or not you need Google if your goal is to earn a living from the products or services you sell online. This is google’s way of keeping things fair. OK OK I digress, so you want to know the top secret stealth l33t way to make it to the top of google. ( I sound like those lame ebooks you see online ).
