| | The problem is the order you are executing the statements in. JavaScript executes the statements in the order you place them in the program. You have the switch statement before the statements that get the info to work it. [code] // Until the user enters "end" keep asking what product … |

| | I am again having troubles with some of the same things: - The tooltips are appearing fast enough to be pesky when I move the mouse to an item. They seem about 3 times as fast as they used to be last week. - I am again losing the text-insertion … |
| | Let's see the relevant part of the code. I have a few thoughts: - Could the problem be an "unable to render as instructed" case? If your designed shape doesn't fit in the available space, the browser will alter the rendering. - Could it be a 'condensing whitespace" case? The … |
| | If OOB means Out Of the Box, and that is really supposed to be xml, you got rooked. I see deprecated code, which is part of html, but which is NOT part of either xhtml or xml: bgcolor is deprecated. width as a property is deprecated, but is allowed as … |

| | This is an area where there is much incompatibility. The values pageX and pageY are part of the Mozilla set of properties, not the W3C standard DOM properties. IE doesn't know them. Fortunately for me (I hate those popups), but unfortunately for everyone else, there is no agreement between IE … |

| | I wonder how many of those attempts were for spam purposes. |
 | Another trick would be to load the full size images and render them small. If I am looking at your page, I would very much prefer that the images stay larger all the time. I hate jumpy things happening when the mouse goes over something. They usually make me hit … |
| | It might be that the robotic logins are triggering a security flag (they should). Did you use some character besides letters and numbers. If so, a software upgrade might have invalidated that character for use in a password. Stupid question: Is your caps lock key on? |
