- I highlighted some text in red, with a note underneath indicating that the user was to substitute his own values for the items in red. When the post published, the text had changed to green.
I don't experience this. I posted a follow-up in the color thread.

It is doing it in the following post:

The browser page view shows "color=red" in the code. That's the html in the page source, not the pseudocode. Yet it appears green.

- I used to use the Google window at the top of my browser to look up the spelling of a word. Now when I do this, when I return, the text box for posting has been erased. So I have to start over.
This is your web browser.

This just started happening about two weeks ago. I have done no browser upgrades and have changed no settings for several months. The only thing I did was turn off rounded corners in your control panel, and let MS do Windows security upgrades. I also turned off Daniweb tooltips, but after this started happening.

- When I pause in typing the post (e.g. to look something up in a book), when I start typing again, the window inserts a blank line between what I had been typing and where I continue typing, even if I paused in the middle of a sentence.
Don't understand what you mean here.

If I pause in the middle of

Sorry about that. But....

- Links inside things that look like pills remind me of doctors and hospitals and other things connected with sickness.

- Moving images are interrupts which make it harder for me to read the text.

I wish people would realize that their favorite gimmicks are not universally appreciated.

I had a strange thing happen in IE when I tried to apply multiple styles to td tags:

td {padding: 2%; vertical-align: middle;}

Applying the padding style removes the vertical-align style in IE.

It works correctly in Firefox.

I found a fix: Put a div inside each td, with the following style:

.fixtd {margin: none; border: none; padding: 2%;}
td {vertical-align: middle;}

....

  <td><div class="fixtd>>
   ...
  </div></td>

The only problem is that adding all of those divs almost doubles the size of the webpage file.

Anyone got any ideas?

I'm not disputing the validity of the rest of your post; but:

The onclick attribute can be given, correctly, on (almost) every visible element.
See http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_onclick.asp for a full list.

Thank you.

Apparently there is an omission in my favorite reference book that left div out of the list of tags which can use the set of standard events. I tried it, and it works. I annotated the list in my book.

Does your ISP allow .net traffic?

Another possibility is that your ISP has lawsuitophobia and is blocking full content of what might be "pirated copyrighted material".

Huh?

You save that setting in a theme (giving it a name), and then select that theme.

I made a post the other day that needed color to make sense (substitute your own values for the values in red).

The problem was that the post changed it from red to green when it actually posted.

Firefox 2.0.0.3

The problem is that some of the parts slipped under other parts, and were hidden behind them. Probably you have things too wide for the browser window.

See this post:

I'm sick of moving images used to attract attention, and links shaped like big pills.

And the corner shading overlaps the text somewhat in Firefox 7.0.0.3.

First, please enclose your code in the code pseudocode tags (in square brackets), as I have done below. Otherwise, your code turns into zxnrbl through auto formatting.

<div id="Panel1" style="WIDTH: 64px; HEIGHT: 48px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellowgreen" onclick="checkedChanged(this,Checkbox1)" runat="server">

The above tag can't possibly work, for the following reasons:
- The div tag doesn't know how to use an onclick attribute, because a div box isn't a clickable object.
- The value "Checkbox1" is not defined in the scope the div tag can see. It should be in single quotes.
- The runat attribute must be in the html tag itself, not in the individual tags for web page elements.

I suggest totally removing the onclick and runat from this tag.

Now for the next tag:

<img id="imgcolor" name="img" style="WIDTH: 32px;
  HEIGHT: 31px" height="31" 
  src="file:///\\system107\HIS\Images\seat2.jpg"
  width="32" align="middle" runat="server" />

There are numerous reasons why this tag doesn't work:
- Styles are always lowercase. Change the case in your styles attribute, or to make it better, put them in a style in the stylesheet.
- the runat tag is not defined for individual tags, but only for the html tag. Remove it and put it in the html tag.

Now for the next tag:

<input type="checkbox" 
  onclick="javascript:var temp=this;alert(temp);"
  id="Checkbox1" name="Checkbox1" />

It doesn't do anything except tell you where you are! As soon as you leave the Javascript part of the onclick in this tag, the value of the variable declared in …

You can have more than one script tag in your hrml.

IE is grabby. It wants its own icon on every web page.

This sounds like a setting.

Or it may be that you have a hobbled trial version of the player (in which case, you have to BUY the full version).

Something tells me that one of these is the culprit:

1. The hard drive format is bad or is different than a Windows format.

2. The hard disk is not working right.

3. Some kind of copy-protection thinks you are pirating your copy of Windows (the guy who thought up copy protection needs shootin').

Some of the things that microsoft "owns" are set in the registry in places the user commands don't touch. The registry has to be edited to change these (and a special procedure is needed to keep some Microsoft programs from changing them back).

You could have a hard drive your BIOS can't recognixe, or can't be set for.

Use disks.

Several things are not working right now.

- I highlighted some text in red, with a note underneath indicating that the user was to substitute his own values for the items in red. When the post published, the text had changed to green.

- I used to use the Google window at the top of my browser to look up the spelling of a word. Now when I do this, when I return, the text box for posting has been erased. So I have to start over.

- When I pause in typing the post (e.g. to look something up in a book), when I start typing again, the window inserts a blank line between what I had been typing and where I continue typing, even if I paused in the middle of a sentence.

- The icon I choose no longer appears next to the topic in the list.

You've had the same problem many times. You specify the size of your object on the page, or specify the amount of space it should take up. But you also specify margin, border, or padding sizes other than zero. Now your settings work on one of the two main browsers, but are messed up on the other.

It's not your fault. The two major browser companies can't agree on whether the width and heit attributes include or exclude the margin, border, and padding.

But you CAN make both browsers behave the same when displaying your page. Use the following tricks:

Put these in your CSS:

.fixbox {margin: none; border: none; padding: none; width: wwww;}
.marbox {margin: xxxx; border: yyyy; padding: zzzz;}
.cenimg {text-align: center;}
.imgcen {clear: both;}

Use wwww for the width you actually want for the contained object, or the actual space you want everything to fit in.

Use xxxx, yyyy, and zzzz for the actual margin, border, and padding styles you want around your object, but inside the total space. They can be the multiple values used for different values on each side if you want. They can be absolute or relative.

The last two styles are needed only if you want to centar an image.

To specify the exact absolute or relative size of the contained object, use the following code:

<div class="marbox">
  <div class="fixbox">
    <!-- put your object here. I used img as an example -->
    <img src="mypic.gif" …

There are several things wrong.

- The div and img tags don't have an onclick attribute.

- None of those tags has a runat attribute. The html tag is the only tag with that attribute.

- The runat attribute works on only Microsoft browsers and servers.

- Most attribute catalogs mark runat as "not currentlysupported".

- the value "checkbox" does not exist at the div tag. You need to call the function from the input tag.

I don't unserstand why the Javascript needs to know the url of the calling page. Doesn't the person who wrote both of them already know that?

Does the mic require phantom power?

Times New Roman? Yuk! :icon_mrgreen: (I dislike serifs.)

Two things to check:

1. Are you using a template? If so, was the template created in Arial 10? If it was, the font will change to the template font every time.

2. Is a local network email server overriding you with a companywide default font?

The BIOS may be set to disable them.

have the same problem with IE 7 so I removed ie 7 and all the favocons came back !!1 So I thought "Good I'll down load IE 7 again" Well there gone again :( Go Fish

That's because the icons are in the files of the previous installation.

I discovered that some of them change when certain software downloads occur. The program that downloaded "took" the files and put its own icon on them.

It's as annoying as the moving ads.

I turned it off.

Could it be that they are working, but popups are blocked by either the server or the browser?

Why should it look any different?

I saw "its hark" instead.

There is no way to change data in either html or css. They control how things are displayed, but what you want is not a matter of display, but of changing data.

You need to take numerical data, which is stored in the computer in binary form (not decimal), and create a string of characters with decimal numbers in it, separated by commas.

This is far beyond the scope of html and css. In fact, it is not usually provided in most programming languages (The only ones I know of for sure are COBOL, PL-I, and JavaScript). The programmer who wants this kind of display usually has to write a special procedure to create the string.

One thought is that you can somehow use a spreadsheet to do the data conversion. They usually have this capability.

So how did you do it?

It won't be 0 if you take out the semicolon.

Some upgrade programs and malware checkers beep when they detect things.

It may not work with new systems. It wasn't designed for them.

It may be looking for the adminstrator account from the other computer.

You have a bug. There must never be a semicolon before an else statement.

If the value of document.form1.sum.length is zero, the loop will never execute. The termination condition is met when the loop is entered.

If there is only one input box, why are you bothering to find the sum?

This IS the JavaScript forum.

YOu may have to put it in a string, and then use the string as part of an address.

I'm not familiar with XLS. What does the @ represent?

You may also have to have the javascript external, rather than embedded.

How do I turn off the color once I select it? There's no black.

I also do not like the fact that you limited the selection. I use different colors to indicate different parts of text for comment below.

OK, I turned off tooltips, and it works right. But why do you have such an annoying feature?

It's back!
And it is very annoying!

The "dark gray" in the post renders as blue on my browser.

It jumps down below the poll. You have to scroll up to read it.

I went ahead and changed the way it works so it doesn't follow your mouse around anymore, and you have to pause over a link before it appears. Better?

A little. It still appears instantly as soon as I stop the mouse, and the text still spills out of the square if a url is in the first few lines.

And sometimes I get two squares, one on top of the other, with different text, when I hover over one of the icons.

But I need them for other things (and they appear after a delay there). I just don't want them appearing constantly on the topic titles (which started happening today).

I was trying to clean up the page and I thought it was self-explanatory. For example, regarding the pencil, it should be pretty obvious after seeing the pencil a few times that it's threads you have posted in, and when you hover over the icon, it even tells you that you've posted in it.

And then the new post icon always corresponds to threads whose title is in bold, so that seemed a little redundant too.

If others weren't using similar icons for different purposes, it might be clear. But a pencil is "edit the post" on eBay and A&E, and a checkmark means "you have posted" on another site.

I couldn't tell what the object inside the orange circle is. It looks like a square.

How do I get rid of this square full of text that chases my cursor around the forum topic lists like an angry bee. It is annoying, especially when the text spills out from the square and covers other text. It used to appear only if I hovered over the entry for several seconds, but now it won't go away.
