Part of the problem is that war is against the religious beliefs of some liberals. They will go to any length to be rid of it. But Presidenbt Bush hasn't committed any crimes, so he can't be impeached. On the other hand, President Clinton not only committed crimes, but admitted …

Is there some reason I always have trouble posting at 4 am?

IE6 is made of bugs.

The only thing I can think of is having the user put a special symbol or word in the text when he posts, instead of highlighting.

XHTML has removed the "name" attribute. But the JavaScript method for reading radio buttons requires the "name" attribute to be the same on each radio button. W3C says to use "id", but that no more than one "id" is valid. I need to write an XHTML page with radio buttons. …

You aren't going to get this with HTML alone. Some other software is going to have to be continually updating your files (or you are going to have to do it manually - security may proihibit this). 1. Have a set of charts stored on your server as image files, …

In javascript: - You have to read the value from the text box. - You have to make a string with the #rrggbb value in it. - You have to assign the value so created to the style attribute needed. Remember that the hyphenated form does not exist in javascript. …

Was the policeman not looking at what was beyond the snake, or did the bullet ricochet?

Please don't! It is extremely ANNOYING when stuff happens when I move the mouse without clicking, or stuff happens just to get my attention. It makes me mad enough to hit the Back button and add the site to my list of no-no sites. If a page has moving content, …

They took a census one year and one month after the Red Sea Crossing: A second census taken at the end of the 40 years produced similar numbers. The number of males 20 years or older, but not counting Levites, was 603550. The number of male Levites one month old …

I see several problems: - You used html comments to hide part of the JavaScript. This is deprecated, and often no longer works. - I spotted some JS errors which IE lets slip, but FF does not. - You have some quoted content which begins on one line and ends …

That's interesting, because when I refresh the page, the text boxes are cleared only if I replaced the HTML file before the refresh while developing a web page. I have been leaving my test data in the boxes and using them again after changing the JavaScript and refreshing. Put a …

The kid playing in the chocolate river.

There are two compatibility issues to remember when designing pages: 1. If the total width of your content is wider than the inside dimensions of the body (after the outside margin is removed), the div+css method of layout falls apart. Different browsers fall apart in different ways. On the other …

[quote=cashblogs;301278]Hello members I've always wondered why, I found an answer in bandwidth economy, but other than that, how do they expect us to do it? With padding? Any advice, comments? thanks[/quote] The main push for elimination of tables is the use of tables to create predictable margins around the text. …

There is a way to put Powerpoint files on a website or in an email. They start Powerpoint when downloaded. I know you can just attach the PP file in an email, but I am not familiar on how it is done with a web page.

I tested it with several different names, including gibberish. It did the following: - Returned a different name when I entered the same name at different times. - Returned the same name for several different names. - Returned "Huggy Bear" more often than any other name. - Returned valid names …

It's fake. There is a crane cable making him move. I saw a clearer video of it and could see the cable. They tried it on Mythbusters and were unable to get it to work. The guy would have been spinning madly in a forward roll (which is what happened …

That reminds me of the Souper Minute Rice commercials. Rice that speeds across the table????

- No moving images, except to demonstrate an essential principle. NO MOVING ADS. - Never move stuff on the page once it finishes loading. Especially do not move links. Nothing infuriates me more than a web page that moves stuf just as I am clicking on a link. eBay is …

Do you have the same printer? Some print drivers ignore such operations. Are the browsers configured for the same security settings? Some browsers have settings to deny permission for such operations. I consider such a style to be a security violation. Those settings on my computer are mine, not the …

The trouble with commercial debuggers is that they often miss such quirks. They usually use the W3C DOM as the reference, and will miss errors occurring in the IE DOM. Do you know approximately where your error is occurring? I can think of some goofy things that cause cryptic errors …

How can I get JavaScript to display values and attributes when they are written to input boxes by the script, instead of waiting for a rather lengthy (10 sec) calculation to finish? - IE does not change the boxes at all, until after the script finishes. - FF displays the …

What was it?

I copied this from another thread because it became buried. So far, all I got were kludges that changed other parts of the page to fix the problem. Divs don't always work exactly the way you want them to, especially when they are inside other layout tags. I gave up …

Why not use an input text box instead?

Actually, you should not use html attributes as variable names.

You can apply CSS styles to it too.

I just had my code (in the proper code pseudotags) in a post show up in the advanced editor as evaluated html, showing the form items I posted code for. This was about 5 minutes ago. This didn't happen while I was editing, but when I hit the back button …

Code it manually. Use tr for each table row, and td for each table data cell. Close all tags. [code] <p>Example of a 3X3 table. The cell contents describe their locations.</p> <table> <tr> <td>This is the top left cell</td> <td>This is the top center cell</td> <td>This is the top right …

I don't think you can do that, unless you can store the elapsed time in a cookie.

You didn't get an answer because you didn't tell us what it was doing wrong. Note that [B]all[/B] CSS attributes are lowercase. The way you spelled 'Height' is not allowed. IE wrongly allows it.

Are you talking an anchor (a) link, or a value in the element?

The problem is that people were using tables to create page margins, borders, and other objects which can't be readily done without style sheets. There is absolutely no reason to not use tables for tabular data, or for forms with rows and columns of data entry. The place where the …

There is a Ford Windstar in my driveway, and I couldn't ask for anything better, unless someone builds the flying car in my avatar.

Using deprecated elements in XHTML will cause unpredictable borwser behavior. I always check my pages with W3C before deploying them.

There are fundamental differences between the way IE displays box objects and the way Firefox displays them. Firefox obeys the standards, and places the margin, border, and padding OUTSIDE the defined size of a box object. On the other hand, IE crams hem all inside the box object's defined size. …

It's the order in which your items are listed in the html. Your right list is immediately after the title banner. You have to put the stuff you want on the left in BEFORE the stuff which must be on its right. If you are dynamically adding the stuff which …

Where are you planning to save the values to complete it with? A cookie is the only place you can save anything on the user's computer.

:icon_mrgreen: Elves and dwarves.

innerHTML is IE-proprietary. It is NOT in the W3C DOM. Some versions of FF can use it, others can't.

Use CSS. The height tag is deprecated (due to be discontinued), but the CSS height attribute is not. [inlinecode]height: 100%;[/inlinecode] works in most cases. It does not work in two cases: - Where you are trying to make the item expand to just fill the browser window (which is always …

You set up a class with the width of the entire table. Put the class attribute in the table tag, not the td tag. [code] .width100 {width: 100%;} .... <table class="width100"> [/code]

You are never going to have a screen-filling design for all users, for the simple reason that different computers are set up for different screen settings. For example, my father still uses 800 X 600 because of his bad vision.

Negative pixels?

Not until you master speling. And we won't do your homework for you.

Caveat Emailor. I don't have Outlook installed on my computer, so there is no way you could somehow get my computer to use it. I have only the proprietary emailer my ISP uses. Every user's email must go through an email system he is actually subscribed to, or through your …

Several points: Other sites I use just have a note above the post window, reminding users to use quote or code tags. The watermark is hard to read, and is annoying. Other sites have buttons with the actual tags they make on the buttons. This site has undecipherable bbeilroglyphics. The …

I wish there was a way to send the spammers a spam sandwich.

Wow, I have the power to block your boss! I will use it. [U][B]BLOCK!!!![/B][/U] The trick is to provide a button the USER clicks to open the window. Any window which opens without the USER deciding to open it by clicking something is a popup ad.
