Good point Dennis, plug away.
It's all part of the challenge and there needss to be people leading the
path for others to follow.
Well done for atleast trying for them James.

The only way out of that was to rewrite the whole lot. I mean the guys
who were on this project were creating empty spans with classes to push
elements along a page (like spacers). They had an empty h1 with a
span inside it for the logo they placed in using CSS ... that was only
a part of the

Indeed. My only problem is I have lost future work from the guy that feeds
me these jobs because I failed it, he isn't even understanding my situation
and he's a front-end developer aswell. I mean 10 hours to do a whole lot of
bug fixing and a near rewite is stupid. Also there was no SV so when I
Join the club, I've been commissioned to do a local website and the guy was
hoping he'd be able to get a quick bug-fix on his current with a bit of

Unfortuanetly the css was akin to the Guttenberg Bible; completely
unreadable and would have been a pig to translate. Not to mention, a
We need to always remember that if we're being brought in on a project
already in progress, we're probably being brought into a messed-up project
that is failing -- behind schedule, overbudget, unworkable, and in crisis.
Otherwise they wouldn't need us. They've already demonstrated their manifold

I've read that the Gutenberg bible is formatted without spaces. It's
interesting that they aren't essential to reading.
I've also read that it's all uniformly blocked out with so many characters
to a line, so many lines to a column, two columns to a page, and ending with
a full page. In a sense,
Hi all,
I'm surprised I can't find the answer to this on the interweb; I haven't had to
do it for a while!
I have a list of about 10 items, all of varying heights (but fixed widths), in
a single ul. I want to clear every third list item and start a new row. Of
course, if they are different
Some people are so tight with money (even those with alot) that they settle

Hi Paul,
I want to clear every third list item and start a new row
I haven't tested this so I may very well be wrong, but since you have fixed
width LIs, if you confine the width of the UL so it only accommodates three
LIs will the 4th LI drop to the next line?
Respectfully,

Has anyone got a solution, or seen on online lately?!

'clear: left' than

it, and did it as 'properly' as I could. It was all hand coded and validated to

Aye' I did a task for a friend once. Charged him £100 for a few pages, a
nice design etc. He refused to pay. He is a near millionaire, well his

I believe this is due to the inherent markings of the tops and bottoms
of the glyphs, particularly the lowercase glyphs.
