Yeeesh! I hate rollover changes. I wish they had never added that capability. They make me hit my back button.

I can't do it when an ad has taken control of system time, until the ad finishes running.

You can put the link in anyway, and use the alt portion of the img tag for the link text. [code] <a href="myurl.htm"> <img src="mypic.jpg" alt="Click here for my purpose." /> </a> [/code] The hyperlink is active in either case, but the link text doesn't appear unless the picture doesn't …

Security: blanket and thumb. Totally virus-proof computer: Tandy Color Computer. The OS is in ROM, so it can't be compromised.

Two questions: 1. are you parsing the values before adding or multiplying them? Right now, it looks like you are multiplying the 1 in your sample by the equal sign. 2. Are you taking into account different lengths of numbers? I use a stack when I parse for a calculator, …

If you want bottom edges to align, use either absolute sizing or a table. This is one failure of the div method. Divs size themselves to sontents, not surroundings. One thing to remember is to not put size defining objects or values in the same div with surrounding styles (margins, …

Which disaster movie is this?

I think the list is made when you log in.

"Secure" and "JavaScript" can't exist together. Anyone can read your JavaScript text by downloading the page. Thus, they can know how to access the secure connection.

Put one link on the page that goes to a page of links.

Real time games don't work when you are doing system conversions to make them run. You need the actual operating system the game requires, or it will run s-l-o-w.

Use one variable to decide which one is out. Values: 0 = all in 1 = first one out 2 = second one out 3 = third one out etc. Keep a previous value variable to tell it which one to slide in.

Why do you want to hide images? If you don't want people to see your images, don't put them on the Internet. You aren't going to stop people from copying your images either. Anyone can do a Ctrl-Print-Screen and recover the image in MS Paint.

"The Dog Deleted My Homework" Now that I am teaching, I have come across several odd excuses people gave for missing their examinations or not showing up on time: - "Yesterday was Monday??? You're kidding!!!" (She accidentally set her clock back a day when setting it back an hour for …

Can you convert inches to pixels? 1 inch = 2.54 cm.

If Microsoft weren't trying to stifle competition, it wouldn't be changing the OS every 3 or 4 years. These changes make software developers have to start over on the software they sell.

You need to change one of the drive names to a different letter.

Does the ISP allow server-side scripts?

Trying to adjust the monitor for hindsight.

I have seen several times where the long text is cut off at the edge of the box around the post. Occasionally, I see it go under the ad on the right and reappear on the other side of it (with parts hidden by the ad).

I would look at the page the shortcut accesses for the trouble.

This is a control that belongs to the user, not to you. I am getting very tired of people w2ho want to take over the computers of people who are viewing their pages. You have no right to control how the user's browser looks or what toolbars are displayed. Attempts …

You will lose some customers who do not believe in electronic fund transfer for religious or security reasons. Always continue to allow traditional payments.

Those items you want to remove are part of the MySpace portion of the page, not the portion you write. You can't change them, because they are added by MySpace at the time someone opens the page in their browser.

What relationships are you creating between the table? That is central to the ER diagram. It shows the relationships. Look here: [url]http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa224825(sql.80).aspx[/url] Figure 2 is quite instructive.

I would suggest looking at Microsoft Access, since it comes with Microsoft Office.

You need a server-side script that interfaces to your database. Try PHP.

It's not even a gradient. It's a well-known optical illusion. There are two gray bars of different shades, surrounded by a white border. The shading changes are actually contrast effects.

Granted, but a goat just ate it. I wish we had a law that a computer operating system could never be changed by the manufacturer, except to fix errors.

I have done it. There is a trick to it: Don't use the same block element for both something using a defined width or size (either absolute or relative), and a surrounding style (margin, border, or padding). Nest them in the order you want them defined. Why: - Firefox puts …

I think that is better than some of the "professional" overkill many sites use.

Here are the answers, using the 180 meridian as the dividing line between east and west. East: Alaska (some Aleutian islands are across the 180 meridian. North: Alaska West: Alaska (the Aleutians just short of the 180 meridian are farther west than Hawaii). South: Hawaii is much farther south than …

DON'T! There are several reasons not to do this: 1. For accessibility, many browsers allow the owner of the browser to turn off changes to link colors and define overriding colors. 2. If a browser is set to override, and you use a background color that matches the standard text …

Mine was the secretary who stuck her floppy disks to the file cabinet with magnets, and then wondered why they quit working. One time, I had a floppy disk drive that worked, but only when it was not in the client's computer. A substitute floppy drive worked in the computer, …

Frames are deprecated. They will not be supported by future browsers.

No. The links must be static for the search engine to find them. In other words, they must be in html. 62000 links might make the search engine think someone is trying to pull a fast one.

That's actually just two bars of different shades of gray, surrounded by a white border. The other effects are a well-known optical illusion.

I don't think you can do that. The adobe browser opens inside an IE or FF window, but is a separate browser not controlled by HTML.

It might fail if the browser is set to override the web page to show the standard formats for links. This is a good reason to never change the styles for links.

There is nothing wrong with using a table when the div method can't do the job. The code will validate. The use of tables that is discouraged is the table used solely to provide a margin around a page. This was done before CSS existed, because there was no other …

Trick: For cross-browser-compatibility,You can't have defined widths in the same div that has margins, borders, and/or padding. Nest them in the order you want.

An id can be used on only one element in a web page. The second occurrence of the same id causes an error.

You can get it within +/- two days (no matter the length of the interval) just by integer-dividing the the output of the above formula by 7, and then multiplying by 5. To refine it more, you need to know what day of the week each day is, and add …

If you want to protect it, don't put it on the Internet. I predict the end of the concept of "intellectual property" within a few years.

The problem is that our long-term permanent memories are serial, like recording tape. The problem isn't that you can't remember something, but the rewindatory gap. That's the time it tales to find and retrieve the memory. My memory can take 24 hours to complete a search cycle.
