HP chat support - how to get some
article #438, updated 4580 days ago
The excellent Mike Martinez found this:
which works for many products. If it doesn’t find your part number and serial number, try the “HP Support Wizard”:

And if that doesn’t work, we have:
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/contact.html
As of this writing, there is a link on the far right of the above to a page entitled “HP Products”, subtitled “Live chat with HP support specialist”. On that page, enter the product name, not any number. Here is a direct link:
Setting up a web file manager
article #387, updated 4664 days ago
A web file manager can be a very useful tool. The best one I have found so far is this:
One of these needs special PHP settings to run well (especially to handle large files), and if you’re using hosted web services, you’ll want to do this by special lines in the .htaccess file. The below is satisfactory if your provider’s web server is very powerful with lots of space reserved for you; if not, reduce reduce reduce!!!!!
php_value memory_limit -1 php_value upload_max_filesize 800M php_value post_max_size 800M php_value max_execution_time 50000 php_value max_input_time 50000
Good & simple web search forms
article #334, updated 4873 days ago
Seems like Google really really wants us to use its web 2.0 embedded-expansion search boxes. For a while there I was not able to find code for the simple method. But it’s still out there. Below is a straightforward working sample including Gigablast, Google, and Bing, with optional images.
<HTML> <HEAD> </head> <table border="1" cellpadding="11" cellspacing="0" width="90%"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 75%"> <a href="http://www.gigablast.com" style="text-decoration: none;"> <!-- <img alt="Gigablast" src="images/gigablast-logo.png"> --> </a> <form method="get" action="http://www.gigablast.com/search"> <input name="q" type="text" maxlength="255" value="" style="width: 80%"><BR> <input value="Search using Gigablast" border="0" type="submit"> </form> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 75%"> <a href="http://www.Bing.com/" style="text-decoration: none;"> <!-- <img src="images/bing.png" border="0" ALT="Bing"> --> </a> <form method="get" action="http://www.Bing.com/results.aspx"> <input type="hidden" name="cp" value="utf-8"> <input type="hidden" name="FORM" value="FREEWS"> <input type="text" name="q" maxlength="255" style="width: 80%"><BR> <input type="submit" value="Search using Bing"> </form> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 75%"> <A HREF="http://www.google.com" style="text-decoration: none;"> <!-- <IMG SRC="images/googlewebsearchlogo.png"> --> </A> <form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search"> <input type="text" name="q" maxlength="255" value="" style="width: 80%"><BR> <input type="hidden" name="sitesearch" value=""> <input type="submit" value="Search using Google"> </form> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </HTML>
