Hi Tony, Yep, that was top of my list. I had this recollection though that if you had items with hard-coded positional info, that it wouldn’t work for scaling. Do you know if it does? I’ve also heard a lot of folk over the years saying that iframes are on the way out, and that the

An iframe on it's own wouldn't do it. But I think there is a zoom property in the DOM somewhere. David If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards... checkmate! -Zapp Brannigan, Futurama On 12 July 2013 15:13, Tony Wright tonyw...@gmail.com wrote:

Probably should give a succinct example of the type of thing I'm trying to do to see if there's a better way. Here's one example: 1. I have a report server that can send me the HTML for a report. 2. I have no control over the size of the report that's sent to me. 3. I

Thanks David :) I’ll give it a go. I did spend quite a while looking for this. I bow to your superior Googling skills :) Is there a word for that? (You have no idea how much rubbish I’ve read this afternoon while trying to find it. Most of the forums are seriously depressing). Regards,

My notebook of almost 7 years has died a tragic death. RIP. What's the go on notebooks these days? I used to just go straight to Dell and choose something but haven't looked for years so don't want to go down the wrong path if things have changed. Don't need anything crazy- 4GB ram was fine but I

Wow, you could buy just about anything and you'll have a major upgrade if you are going from an 7 year old laptop. I recently got a Dell XPS 13 ultrabook for about $1400 (added in the essential 3 year warranty thing or it would have been less than that). Light, good CPU, SSD, and 8Gb ram. 13 inch

Heads up - Dell haven't upgraded their XPS line with the new Haswell chips yet (except the XPS 12) so depending on what your needs are, either get in soon to get a soon-to-be-superseded model at a cheaper price, or wait until the new ones come out. -Original Message- From: Tom Rutter

As far as being on the way out, well, in HTML5 they added a whole lot of new attributes. They certainly didn’t deprecate it. Will it be consistent? Don’t know. Probably not. But I actually can’t think of any other cleanish way you can do it, and I think this is the actual purpose of the
