Do you in fact have a CD burner? Is the burner program in simulation mode?

The sidebars on the DaniWeb pages match the vertical scrollbar in Firefox. When the handle is at the other end, it's hard to tell if you are on the bar or not. Could we have some contrast here?

Don't design to an absolute size. From computer to computer, you are going to find: - Different screen resolutions - Different color sets - Different browser software - Different window sizes - Different monitor dot sizes You have to make things flexible if you are going to have approximately the …

You don't have anything between the opening and closing span tags. This causes the tag to fail to render at all.

I am building pages that work the same (or very nearly the same) on both. Tips: 1. Don't put surrounding styles (margin, border, padding) in the same styles or tags as size styles (height, width), other than to set the other ones to 0. Internet explorer renders these in the …

I discovered a proof that evolution is false. In order to build a cell, you have to have the blueprint (DNA), and the constructor (ribosome). My questions: - If the ribosome somehow evolved independently of the DNA, how did the instructions for making a ribosome get on the DNA? - …

Your background color is overriding the background image, because it is later in the stylesheet.

Are you going for some kind of award for the hardest to create webpage in history? And I suppose you don't want the curves to change shape if the button stretches the image. The only way I can think of to do this is to have a series of images …

Put the visited styles at the top of the stylesheet, with the hover ones under them. If there is a conflict between styles, the lowest one listed in the stylesheet prevails. So the visited ones are prevailing over the hover ones because they are under them. You are mixing styles …

The problem is greedy web advertising with moving pictures that takes the entire CPU time. By the time you get the task manager open, the ad has quit.

Some browsers do not allow certain styles on form items.

Use the percentage styles to get the browser window width into styles. [code] .classname1 {width: 100%;} .classname2 {width: 50%;} [/code]

Maybe that is because IE displays fonts one pixel wider than FF does, for the same font size. You are not doing anything wrong. The browser makers can't agree on standards. Check the settings of the browsers too. A user can tell the browser to increase or decrease the font …

The problem is that not all monitors have the same screen resolution. If you design a page to fit a certain screen resolution with absolute sizes, the following happen to the page: - On monitors with lower resolutions, scrollbars will appear. - On monitors with higher resolutions, the page will …

What you need is one table with a list of all of the products, and more fields for the different kinds of products to link to the original tables you have.

Did you use the name of the field the query produced? I got it to work, using the name of the field produced by the summary data function.. But you can't use data from both a table and from a query based on that table in the same form.

Make two different forms, one for each purpose.

My computer was OK this morning. I am running Windows XP. When I started it up after coming home from work, all kinds of things were changed: - The display theme changed from Windows Classic to Windows XP. - My wallpaper selection is gone. - The color scheme I carefully …

What burner software are you using? Windows can't do it by itself.

Please don't! I am totally sick of this kind of page. They make me hit the BACK button.

Somebody may have reported a hotmail account as spam, and Yahoo blocked all connections to that server again. I am on Yahoo too, and sometimes can not access eBay because someone reported one of those phake eBay emails as spam again. For some reason, the spam reporting software can't tell …

Name is deprecated. Use ID. You have a scoping problem. You are using the names in onmouseover and onmouseout attributes outside the area where those names are defined. You need external scripts And I am totally sick of websites that make pictures larger when the mouse goes over them. Just …

It also depends on who made the cartoons. I like nearly all of the WB cartoons. But I am sad to learn that my most favorite of the WB cartoons ("Hare-um Scare-um") no longer exists. The early Hanna-Barbera cartoons were good, but the later ones were mass-produced. They were too …

Let's get rid of this "table vs css" idea. It's bogus. Use table for tabular data, and other things that must be in clear rows and columns. You can use css to format the table nicer. Even rows of buttons are nicer with tables keeping them in line. If you …

Use the onclick option on a web page object to call a JS function that sets the checked value to true.

We have Deep Freeze on our desktops. If the computer is rebooted, or if it sits idle for two hours, everything students put on it is removed, and the computer is restored to standard configuration.

CDRW disks don't work like other media. They have to be erased backwards and recorded forwards, like recording tape. A bare CDRW can't be used like other media. It must be used with CD burner software, such as EZ Creator. Formatted CDRW can be used with drag and drop, but …

You can't use getElementById to access elements added by a script. It can see only the original ID list present at the time the page loads.

Generally you can't control the vertical height of a screen object to match the size of the browser window. This is because there are too many possibilities among different browsers and window sizes. Div is also very poorly designed and implemented. It generally assumes the height of the tallest object …

In my opinion, Hollywodd is the main cause of the decline in morals. The producers, writers, directors, and actors demand "artistic freedom," but their artistic freedom often teaches people the wrong thing to do.

You don't have enough cache memory if that happens. This is a browser setting, not something you can control in a program. If the entire page won't fit in the unused cache space, the browser will dump the entire cache to make room for the new page. It does not …

Careful. Putting size styles (width, height) and surrounding styles (margin, border, padding) in the same style or tag causes IE/FF incompatibilities. Nest two divs, ome with the sizes, and the other with the surrounding styles.

Aural css was never implemented enough to be used, and is now deprecated.

This is not available in Word. I would suggest some kind of posting software (like this forum) with no possibility of editing the posts. Then have a trusted person compile the posts into a document.

Try asking if the field equals "".

We need a way to make a poll that uses Independent Voting, as opposed th the faulty Plurality system used now.

How do we know you aren't trying to break into someone else's computer?

Let us choose with a setting.

There is a Trojan Horse appearing on some websites that claims that it "needs an updated driver" to display a video or similar file. It won't let you back out from installing the "upgrade," opening the same window again and again. But it is no upgrade; it is a Trojan …

HTML can't do that. It can't do anything but display web pages. The only way it can display a graph is if the graph is in an image file. Why do you want HTML? You need Microsoft Office instead. Excel contains all you need. Excel can also save an HTML …

Are you trying to put the icon on a link to a web page, or download the icon to the user's computer? To use the icon as a button to link to a website, do this: [code] <a href="website.htm"><img src="pic.ico" /></a> [/code]

You can also use the lookup wizard, which is a lot easier. It is a type in the Access table design view. But first, you must create a relationship between the tables.

First, you need to know how a horse walks. That in itself is a huge task.

My findings: - Write your own pages. Don't use their stuff. It writes tag soup. - Any page served by a Yahoo or Geocities server will NOT validate as served, because their ad insertions won't validate. Their ad insertions are also tag soup. And they are more concerned with keeping …

You also need a server that supports and permits serving streamed music.

A few tips: 1. FF usually follows the W3C standards better than IE does. So designing for IE is usually the troublemaker. 2. The defaults for text positioning (text-align and vertical-align) are different for the two browsers. Define them in styles, and the browsers will act alike. 3. Don't put …

Unfortunately, the div tag is not implemented very well yet. This is a case where a table is needed.

It's no simple task. A server-side program would have to do this.

That won't validate - it's tag soup. The anchor tag is an inline tag, and you can't put a block tag pair inside an inline tag pair. Div is a block tag. You can't put box properties on inline tags either. Put the anchor inside the div instead, and attach …

Upper case is also not allowed in tag, style, and attribute names and values. Replace Color with color.
