Internet Explorer IE submit when you press enter key | submit on enter

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

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.

Reset / Change lost oscommerce admin password

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

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.

SEO Impossible.

Monday, August 4th, 2008

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.
