Re: Click URL programmatically

at least you both put your homework requests in the same threadIf the page is being generated, to be redirected immediately, why not just put in a redirect in the page <head>, and populate the redirect instead of, or as well as, a link, from whatever (not shown) script is populating the link <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="5; URL=forward_target.html"> the effect is the same, it is browser independent, and standards compliantthere is very little real world application
the redirect would logically be done serverside and the user never see the intermediate page
the course you are taking is BS

Re: HTML and CSS Backgrounds...

1em = 10px

If you don't know, don't guess
1 em = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Em_(typography)

Re: HTML and CSS Backgrounds...

mmm, so... em is like % and px right? l have never actually heard of em, seen it used but never new what it meant... And is em just something like 10em instead of 10px when being used? Also, if l have n image, say a background and set how far from the top and left it is and pin it there and put all my text in it, will it still stay there on a mobile phone and wordwrap, expand and stay the same distance from the right hand side?

em(%) is the width of the M(any letter) in the users current basefont it scales around 1(100%), 0.8em(80%) is for unimportant text or footnotes 1.25em(125%) is for h2 1.5em(150%) for h1, 2em(200%) is doubly large
If you pin an element xxxem(%) from top/left it will stay there on a mobile phone or widescreen. If as well you set the width of the element as yyyem(%) it will auto adjust to mobile phone, windescreen, partscreen windows, and wrap the text within the width of the element
example a two column layout on widescreen, images in the top left corner of each column, each column being just under half screen width, with a margin between them and between the edge of the screen
|margin2%[image20%|text 27%|margin2%|image20%|text27%|margin2%|
you can modify the images in css, so they dont become invisibly small, and the text will then drop below them, preserving the layout in handheld, if not the actual text position …

Re: Automagically resize images?

those are the actual sizes of the images, not the desired size

<div id="main">
<h1>Pictures</h1>
<img width='594' height='292' alt='alt text is a requirement' src="Pictures/3DIM_poster.jpg" />
Poster presentation at 3DIM 2009.
<img width='594' height='612' alt='alt text is a requirement'  src="Pictures/scanner_inside.jpg" />
Leica HDS3000 LiDAR scanner in the lab.
<img width='594' height='612' alt='alt text is a requirement'  src="Pictures/scanner_outside.jpg" />A day of scanning in Troy.
</div>

I just pulled the sizes off the smallest image, and resized the others by proportion 730*752 > 594*612

its not a good idea to use html to resize images to suit the layout
actually resize the images with Irfanview, paintshop etc,
and serve them the correct size, (still with the sizes specified in the xhtml) smaller images = faster load times

notes
1:: the layout sucks, fixed width central column may look good on your pc,
mine is 2400px wide, what a waste of space
Ems and % are the dimensions of choice, width will adjust to screen and window size, keeping the same proportion as your design screen, on a wider range of systems
2:: incidental; the only bugs in the code is the missing alt tags in those images

Re: Do you believe evolution?

Five senses - I think if all species have around five senses then that would support evolution because why wouldn't a creator create some species with 20 or 30 senses?

fish, and birds, 'see' magnetism
may or may not be that our senses can't detect the senses that other creatures may or may not be using.
Ghosts,
If ghosts existed there would be standing room only for ghosts only, billenia of ghosts would be stacked on top of each other, hominid ghosts, erectus ghosts, cromagnon ghosts, ghosts of every religion, ghosts in every location.
ghosts persist in the folk tales of every society even those uncontaminated by contact with any other, and behave(if existing) in similar fashion in all tales.
there are occurrences that arent adequately explained by physical laws as we know them. shamen, healers,
there are fake TV evangelists, who if god(s) existed would be burned to a crispy critter by lightning in the middle of the broadcast, by the tenets of the religion they preach.
What happens to elder gods, do they retire after a few years, out of boredom.
baal aten mars odin jupiter, had a pretty good thing going, but now?
and why three religions all worshipping the same god, spend so much time killing 'for my god' the others.

what do(es) god(s) get out of worship
If omnipotent omniscient what benefit do you get

Women take time and moneywoman = time * money
time is money woman= money * money = money^2
money is the root of all evil woman = (evil^1/2)^2
