I've been taking a really close look at the examples over at CSSZenGarden because one of the things that makes me crazy, as a designer, is when someone resizes the text, in <div> and <span> layouts, you often have overlaps ... and it looks like crap, frankly. I've found several designs that look good, regardless of the browser, resolution OR text size, and just found This One - utililizing the expanding menu option - that renders somewhat differently in different browsers, but retains the style and readability. I like it.

(Wups ... might've been nice if I'd actually *read* the post prior to mine!! Sorry! Okay. Responding to COBOL) ...

Language (as in programming)

A programming language or computer language is a standardized communication technique for expressing instructions to a computer. It is a set of syntactic and semantic rules used to define computer programs. A language enables a programmer to precisely specify what data a computer will act upon, how these data will be stored/transmitted, and precisely what actions to take under various circumstances. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)

Autocrat ... I'm with ya!! I'm in the same boat. I'm in the process of learning CSS/XHTML and cross-platform/browser compatibility. Personally, I vote that everyone just convert over to Firefox, and then we'll all stop having these headaches.

Ok. My first question ... which version of HTML/XHTML are you using? I found out it matters .. if you're using XHTML strict or 1.1 *lots* of things will just disappear on you. If you're using HTML 4.x transitional, you'll be able to get away with a LOT.

The most comprehensive listing I've found is at CoreCss.com: Full CSS Property Compatibility Chart.

Technician

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

For a definition of the Technician profession, see wiktionary:Technician.

Technicians can be found working in a variety of fields, and they usually have a job title with the designation 'technician' following the particular category of work. Thus a 'stage technician' is a worker who supports putting on a play, while a 'medical technician' is an employee who provides technical support in the medical industry.

Before upgrading I read the forum at Mozilla about it. I'm thinkin' I'll wait until they've fixed the bugs the "fix" creates.

(I know it's not one word ... what can I say? :) )

Have you tried Drivers HQ? They've had every driver I've ever needed. Other than that, if you can identify the make and model of whatever you're missing, you might try the manufacturers' websites.

Good luck,

Chapills,

You've got two really viable options. First, with your document loaded up in Word, go to your File menu, select "Save As" and save the file as Rich Text Format (.rtf). It will save 90% of your formatting, including tables.

The second option is to have your friend go to the Microsoft website and download the Word 97-2000 Viewer (If that link doesn't work, go to downloads and search on viewers for Word.)

A third option is to go to this site and download their free PDF converter and "print" the file in PDF format. They'll need to have Acrobat Reader to read it, but it completely preserves all your formatting. They won't be able to edit the document, tho, just read it.

So ... it depends on what they want/need the file for.

Good luck!

Anything with Whoopi Goldberg in it

Heya, folks. Just popping in to wave "hi" and give a bit of an intro. I'm one of those who know enough to be dangerous, and wise enough to know when to call in the help brigade. Mostly I design websites, and am currently in the process of fine-tuning my learning process of XHTML & CSS. Not a programmer ... I leave that to beings of higher consciousness, and bow down before them - and promise not to hack your code!

Otherwise I'm an over-50, single, pamperer of a pillow princess (my dog), living in the middle of the desert in California, living in my 26-RV. And if you've seen my website, you'll probably know more about me than you ever cared to know.

So ... there ya have it :)

(My first post, here.)

As an owner/moderator of several different discussion groups, my main method for controlling spam was to moderate the first few messages posted by any member. It helped to determine the validity of their membership and that it wasn't some kind of bot. Then I allow a text link in their signature (much like Harishankar did in the above post), as a means to self-promote. In my world, it pays - big-time - to network. You never know where you're going to get your next lead or tidbit of assistance.

One method I've seen work fairly well on community bulletin boards is to have a separate thread, specifically for self-promotion.
