    Problems with Tables & CCS Margins

    Hello, all. I'd really appreciate any help from those of you who may have experienced this problem. The trouble I am having is when using CSS margins with tables set at 100%. If I define the blockquote tag like so: /* margins for content */ blockquote { margin: 4em 10% 5em 10%; } Then...

    Memory Leak?

    Is this a memory leak problem? It seems to happen most often in Quark, Illustrator & Photoshop. Menu items in the top menu bar will disappear along with the functions in those menus. For example, I was just working in Illustrator and both the 'File' and 'Edit' menus disappeared. I'm using a G4...

    CSS hover bug in IE 5.0 on a mac

    Just a couple of days ago I was having the same problem (also in IE5/Mac), only it was with text-decoration: none. Two of the links insisted on appearing with the underline. I tested it on the PC side and it was fine, so I uploaded it to my server. Once it was on the server it worked fine in IE...

    How to create a custom startup screen?

    Thanks for the reply. Actually, the solution is that the file must be named "Startupscreen" (no spaces), instead of "Startup Screen". This method diables the progress bar, but I want to avoid ResEdit, since I have to do this to about 10+ Macs and it's only temporary.

    Available fonts

    Verdana and Georgia are my favorites. Both are Microsoft fonts, created especially for on screen readibility. Anyone who has a Microsoft product installed on their computer automatically gets them.

    How to create a custom startup screen?

    I'm trying to create a custom startup screen with our new company logo. I know that the file must be saved as a PICT resource file, placed in the System Folder and named 'Startup Screen'. I downloaded a free one and it works just fine, but the custom one I create will not work. Does anyone...

    mailform .cgi ????in dreamweaver

    Paul, First of all, does your Web host support CGI scripts? Some don't allow them, so that might be your problem. Assuming that the answer to the above is "yes", did you open permissions on the .cgi file? It requires connecting to your server through a Telnet program and typing in a...

    how do I stop web page graphics from being ripped off

    Any "anti theft" Javascript is not foolproof. All one has to do is off scripting in their browser's preferences. I've learned a lot by using "view source", so I'm fine if someone wants to snoop at my code to see how I've done something. I'm NOT okay with someone stealing...

    Using FTP to download files from the Web

    Darren, Here are some step-by-step instructions on how to do this without requesting that the user right/control-click... First, compress your file(s) into .zip format. PC users will need PKZip to do this, available at http://www.pkware.com (it's shareware). If you are on a Macintosh, go to...

    Help in CSS in Dreamweaver 4

    CSS gives you more control over font sizes than HTML. If you use an external sylesheet, CSS also allows you to make global changes to the font formating merely by modifying the external stylesheet. With HTML, you'd have to edit each HTML page individually. If you use CSS Styles, you don't have...

    Something very strange is happening to my Dreamweaver Properties Palette. The only way to describe it is to look at the screen shot I've posted at: http://www.mmtglobal.com/properties.gif I'm using DW4 on a Macintosh G4/OS9.
