View Full Version : Displaying fake error messages

Biblia
09-21-2002, 01:37 PM
I've been trying to work out if there is some way that I can display a page of 'fake error warnings' - a similar effect to that shown at:

http://www.iarchitect.com/errormsg.htm

(yes, I know that the ones on the above pages are images...but I don't have the graphics software to make something similar).

If there isn't some coding that I could use, maybe someone knows an online graphics generator that could do this? I've spent about 4 hours searching for one......

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Many thanks for the reply, X_goose. Unfortunately, this will not help in this case, because I want to actually *make* a fake error message, not copy a real one.

So, you need a free image manipulator?

Thanks to all who've replied so far....and yes, I have paint. But I don't want to use an 'image' if I can get an *easy* script to create pop-up warnings from embedded links.

I'll use graphics if there is no other way around it.

Ta, muchly...

That was a joke. I thought your zipping up that small file was intended to be funny (it was). Sorry.

Thanks for all the help. I have now created the page:

http://warriorlibrarian.com/ROFL/opac.html

It's probably not funny to anyone except librarians...but it was a great learning experience for me!

I ended up using the graphics from the other page, and editing them in ArcSoft Photostudio 2000, just in case anyone was wondering ....

:D
