    Disabled Text Area and CSS

    Cheers. That works fine. Interestingly, it works in IE6, IE7 and FireFox. What do you mean when you say IE6 doesn't support readonly properly?

    a question about html tables

    Not sure if this answers your problem but have you tried border collapse? border-collapse: collapse;

    Disabled Text Area and CSS

    I've got an HTML page with a standard textarea on it, which is disabled to stop users editing the text. I've changed the state of the textarea to disabled and as expected, the text appears grey in IE7. Thinking it would be a straight forward task to modify the default text colour, I created a...

    Custom JButton

    Ah! Easy when you think about it! Thanks. Actually used setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(0,0,0,0)) and setBackground(Color.white) but has the same effect as the solution you gave. Dunno why I didn't think of that myself!! Thanks for that.

    Custom JButton

    Anyone know a quick way of removing the default blue button background from a JButton? All I want to show is an image icon without the button outline and I'd rather not override the painting of the button if I can help it. Any help appreciated!

    Next Record in Report

    Probably an obvious question but how do you force a report to show one record per page? I could probably work it out using code but I'm wondering if there's a simpler way.

    Excel and ODBC

    Cheers for your reply. What I really mean is, can I connect to an ODBC datasource (with an Access file) from an Excel spreadsheet without having to specify the path of the .mdb file? When I've connected to ODBC in the past through Java, using the JDBC:ODBC bridge driver, I haven't had to...

    Excel and ODBC

    I'm trying to populate a simple Excel worksheet from data within MS Access, setup as an ODBC datasource. I've looked up some sample code and every piece of code I've seen has a reference to the absolute path of the .mdb file. Is there a way to simply access the datasource the way ODBC *should*...

    Floating boxes within DIV boxes

    One more thing, the .pagebox class stops a bit before the floating elements stop. All of what you say makes complete sense, but I'm probably missing something somewhere down the line - any more ideas?

    Floating boxes within DIV boxes

    Cheers. Read your postings, tried a few hings, but still no luck. I've included the whole of my CSS and the whole of my HTML. CSS --- body { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color:#999999; text-align: justify; background-color: #003333; }...

    Corrupt JPEG File

    Okay not sure which forum to post this, so I thought I'd try this one...I've just recovered some files from a damaged CDROM and, for the most part, this has been successful. However, one of the files (a jpeg) file is corrupt. Normally, I'd just accept that it's damaged and delete it. However...

    Floating boxes within DIV boxes

    The relevant HTML coding is as follows: <body> <!-- Page Box --> <div class="pagebox"> <div class="title"></div> <div class="text"><div class="contentimg"></div><p class="title">Home</p><p>Blah, blah, blah</p> <div class="picbox"> <div class="pic"><img src="photos/thumbs/DSCF0110.jpg"></div>...

    Floating boxes within DIV boxes

    I'm having a problem displaying floating boxes within a DIV box. I've got four DIV boxes: one to act as a container for the other three, one title box to hold a title graphic, one middle box for the main content of my page and a bottom box to hold a curved graphic. What I'm trying to do is...

    Box Positioning using CSS

    I want to have a simple layout with a title box, a content box and a footer box, with a small space between each. The result I'm looking for is the title box at the top, the content box in the middle and just below the content box, a footer box. I've positioned the title box and content box...
