Is there any IE installers available for mac? No. The easiest solution is to install Windows XP onto a virtual machine (VMWare Fusion, Sun xVM VirtualBox, or Parallels). I've used VMWare Fusion, and it's quite nice, but Sun xVM VirtualBox is also very nice, and has the added bonus of being free.

Try ies4osx. I haven't, but have heard it works: http://www.kronenberg.org/ies4osx/ As for software, I'm partial to Dreamweaver. And Contribute. And Flex Builder. :) But I've also heard good things about Aptana, and I've been happy with TextWrangler, which did all I used BBEdit for, free. - m

Hi Naveen, Here are some resources to try... Testing Try Parallels (though there are others out there apparently equal or better?). This allows you to install multiple versions of Windows ­ which means you can test IE6/7/8 in different versions. http://www.parallels.com/

Hi all, this might be slightly off topic and I'm glad for any redirects. We're managing our source code in a version control system called SVN. This works as long as frontend carve and backend integration are linear. Sometimes however we need to change code that's old from a frontend

Hi, I'd just like to add one to the FTP list - FireFTP firefox plugin. I was using Cyberduck on my Powerbook and found it a bit clumsy, FireFTP works right in firefox and works just as well as FileZilla. Best, Tim MacKay -Original Message- From: li...@webstandardsgroup.org

Hi Jens, You need to branch the codebase. A typical SVN repository is setup as: repos/trunk repos/tags repos/branches Most people will checkout repos/trunk and just work off that. What you need to do is copy the trunk (svn cp/copy repos/trunk repos/branches/branch-version). Then keep two

[WSG] Floating a sub-list level with it's parent list

Hi guys, I'm in a bit of a bind here. I have a nested list that I have no control over - it's coming out of the CMS with this hierarchy and I can't change that. Here is an example of the unstyled list: - Main Navigation --- Page 1 --- Page 2 --- Page 3 --- Subscriber Modules - Module 1 -

2009-03-05 Thread Robert Turner
Hi Seona, Why not make the entire nav element (mainNav) positioned absolute? I'd probably use a div to contain the parent ul (if you are not already doing this). I'd start with something like: .mainNav { /* nav at top right of screen */ position: absolute; top: 0px; right: 0px; }

The other options is to use a two column layout with float: left and float: right, but these need to have set widths. eg. .left-nav { float: left; width: 19%; /* or Xpx */ } .content { float: right; width: 80%; /* or Xpx */ } We use this approach on our site: http://flexa.com.au
