Here's a trick for firefox: Go into tools / content / manage Find the file type and delete its entry. Then firefox will ASK you what to do with that file type when you try to open the file. One of the choices is "save file to disk" Note that …

The minus signs prevent Google indexing, because minus means "do not include" in Google. Change the file name to not include minus signs.

All you have to do is specify the .css extension in the filename when you save the file. I don't try to change the file type dropdown. It works for me for both .htm and .css files.

I see some problems: - You have 0px in your styles. 0 must be alone, without a unit of measure. 0px, 0em, 0%, 0pt, and other 0 values with units of measure attached cause Firefox to throw away the entire style. - You have surrounding styles (margin, border, padding) in …

You are really supposed to put things side by side, rather than trying to pile stuff on top of other stuff. You might try z-axis, but don't expect it to work on all browsers. Most players (.flv, .mpg, .pda) expect to be on top, because images can move in players.

If you are trying to center it vertically, that is a no-no in web design. It can't be done in a way that works on all screen resolutions and browser window sizes. Centering horizontally is hard, because the "brains" at w3c TOOK AWAY THE EASY WAY TO DO IT, without …

Microsoft is greedy. They think you bought XP after the last day it is supposed to be sold. This kind of software registration demand should be illegal. It is too easily abused.

Microsoft just wants to extort money out of us to keep what we already have. They should be require to keep supporting and selling the product to keep their copyright on it.

You have a lot of errors: - Values of 0 can NOT have units of measure attached. Wrong: 0px Right: 0 - You have size styles and nonzero surrounding styles (margin, border, padding) in the same tag or style.

First, you are using size styles (width, height) and nonzero surrounding styles (margin, border, padding) in the same style or tag. This is guaranteed to cause a FF/IE incompatibility. Second, you need to understand the hierarchy of styles. Highest - specific class or id styles from a stylesheet - specific …

I would say this is a character set mismatch, with some other character in an extended character set being mapped to the underscore key. - Make sure the browser is using the same character set the server uses. - If an alternate set is used because the user speaks a …

It depends on what you are trying to do. GENERAL: If you are creating a picture, there is no real problem with any color combinations. There are some elitists who want to force their aesthetics on others. They don't like certain color combinations. Some of my personal dislikes are: red, …

It is not a good idea to make text blink. It can cause epileptic seizures. I have seen this happen. It is not a good idea to use nonstandard tags or features.

Remember that, in IE, the margin, border, and padding are wrongly rendered inside the width and height. This can make the image fail to render because it won't fit. FF and other standard-compliant browsers put the surrounding styles outside the widths and heights.

IE renders surrounding styles (margin,. border, padding) inside defined widths and heights. This is nonstandard behavior. Other browsers put the surrounding styles outside the widths and heights. The trick is to nest two tags, one with the surrounding styles, the other with the sizes. Then, they render the same on …

Questions: - Have you already defined the object named imageArea? Or do you even know what it is? - Is there a case difference between imageArea and what you wanted (say, ImageArea or imagearea)? - It might be a bug in the program.

You can't have negative surrounding styles. [code] margin-top: -12px; margin-bottom: -18px; [/code] These are causing the overlapping. Why are you using them? Negative surrounding styles are not really defined, and do different things in IE and FF. - Since FF obeys the standard and puts surrounding styles outside the size …
