 | Hmmm, kind of funny really. Hard to beleive MS missed that opportunity - normally quick of the mark in that sort of thing! As for those mentioning Domain NAme Squatting etc.... that should be made illegal - so long as the name isn't being used (All thos stupid look-up and … |
| | OK, I've looked at Mambo, PHP Nuke, Post Nuke, Xoops and Xaraya. I've read up on several others.... Is it me, or is there NO CMS system that lets you just position things where you want them. Everything seems to really on a coloumn based layout. Whats really got me … |

| | Yep, the title is right! All I want is a method for getting IE to display 2 divs in a row, the l/r to be 200px wide, the center fluid. The only stipulations are that all three stretch to 100%, (usually easy in IE), and that the HTML order is … |

| | OK, peoples prefences, opinions or ideas / knowledge on getting IE to act properly for getting Hover etc. to work. I've looked at the Suckerfish & Son of Sucker Fish, and I've looked at the htc file..... and can't figure whish is better. By better, I mean taking into acount … |
 | Just to bite a bit.... if using tables, I can split up graphics, stretch them from 1px wide to what ever is needed, align things without to much fuss, easily and readily use almost any of the numerous wysiwyg efitors..... it's really quite easy to do...... so how am I …  |

| | Re: Sort Tables... Is the table made in html or another web-language? If all it is is <table> <tr> <td> details </td> </tr></table>.... then it is static... it won''t change and can't be sorted!

| | OK, I've looked at CMS's, I've thought hard about the best approach to permit/enable clients to alter their content etc..... and I'm stunned at the vast array of basically limitless powqer this app's permit.... yet none of them are simple enough or small enough to just dump and let an … |

| | Hi all, OK, I can use the " minwidth: nnpx; " for most browsers, for IE I can use " <hr /> ". That mostly sorts out setting a minimum width... apart from the fact that I want a gap between the viewportal/screen-res and the content of the page! Any … |
| | Just a quick question..... So, how supported is JS? Do most viewers have it permissable? It strikes me as odd that I am being told by certain people that JS is bad and being phased out etc... yet it is used quite heavily in conjunction with other languages, or singular … |
