Re: [WSG] lost my data

Marvin, did you delete the data or is the drive faulty? If it is a faulty drive, try putting the drive in a sealed plastic bag and leave in the freezer for a few hours (or overnight). Sometimes you can get around 30 mins or so use out of the drive (until it warms up again). I've had success

Re: [WSG] unbalanced q tags for extended quotations?

There is quot; and apos;, but I don't think IE supports apos;. I think the Unicode entity is something like #39; or #37;. You could also declare quot as an entity in your doctype to assist IE (IE needs help). Would that solve your problem? T. R. Valentine wrote: Quotations which are more

Re: [WSG] The weirdest IE bug I've ever encountered.

Try adding borders to all block level elements (ie. p, div etc). Firebug does this for you in Firefox, but you'll need to do it manually for IE. To make it much more obvious, set a background color too (eg. p, div {background-color: #00f;} ). If there are unclickable links then chances are

Re: [WSG] Login/password app?

Hi Brooke, If you're looking for a lite solution and only have a handful of users, you could configure a .htaccess http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.htaccess file for authorization/authentication in Apache. This is done at a directory level. There should be plenty of tutorials out there if you

Re: [WSG] Code management advice needed

no problem :-) I still have to learn more about SVN with respect to selectively checking out code (I don't need the full code base for each branch) and retagging. To get the subdirectory you want, just check it out and give it a name: eg. svn co

Re: [WSG] Code management advice needed

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

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

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; }

Re: [WSG] IE and the button element

John, I like your approach - I think I might start using it. IMO - button means button whether it is in a form or not. And button has more meaning than input type="button|submit". Don't give into design by committee, just look at how it ruined Tim Berner-Lee's original vision for the web. He
