    Coding question

    Is there a problem with defining an absolute width to the body tag? This is something I've done for quite some time now, but a colleague thinks this is somehow wrong (although he couldn't give me a reason why). thanks!

    Table row expanding despite height etc

    I have a tabular setup with the outside column spanning 4 rows. The four rows consist of two "boxes" each with a thin title row (28 pixels high) and another row for content. the problem is that when the outside column grows, it forces the spanned rows to expand also--this is fine, but I do not...

    style explanation

    table.spanning td.spanning {color: #efefef; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px; : 2;} I don't completely understand this. I keep my css simpler (no doubt inferior). Does this mean that when table.spanning AND td.spanning are used, do this? So if I were just using...

    paths?

    I have a complex image in photoshop (a DNA/helix). Right now it's straight. What would be the best way to bend it into a shape. For instance a pretzel? Are paths the way to go? I assume illustrator is better for the job than Photoshop. Or would just drawing the thing into the shape I want...

    win2k dial up connection confusion

    I assembled a computer for a broadband-less friend and ran all the windows updates from my house instead of forcing him to do it over a 56k. However, when I disconnected the ethernet cable and setup the dial up conenction, IE didn't see the connection. It's still looking for the broadband...

    pop up text/alt tags/title attrributes etc

    I want an onmouseover text box to appear to gloss certain appreviations. What's the best way to do this. Ideally, I'd like to use alt/title attributes, but these are timed and don't stay on screen long enough. Is there a way to extend this? Is there a simple CSS solution? I've tried using...

    old 486 boot problems

    I need to transfer files from 5 1/4&quot; disks to 3 1/2s so I've been trying to get my old 486 machine to run (unfortunately not IDE). The HD has crashed so I'm trying to use a boot disk to get to dos so I can do my thing. The only problem is that the only options for boot sequences are a; c...

    removing selected words from a textarea

    I want my script to take a block of text from a textarea and remove any words from it that appear in an input box with a push of a button. When I run it all it does is put a space at the beginning of the text. I'm stumped. Thanks! function refreshtext2(input) { var goodArr=&quot;&quot...

    commas in array display

    Hi. I'm trying to display a user-defined number of random words from a paragraph in a text box (doesn't necessarily have to be a textbox) and everything seems to work except that instead of a word or two it displays commas. For instance if I set the number of words to 5, it displays...

    Easy randomize problem

    Hi. I know this is very simple for most of you, and should be for me, but I can't figure out what's wrong. All I want this script to do is access a list of names and randomize it, making sure no names are duplicated. Now, I am a beginner to JS so please excuse the simplicity of the coding...

    Am I missing something?

    I wanted to put list of misc links on the right side of my page. Since there are many pages and it would need to be updated frequently, I wanted an external file. I tried a number of methods using arrays and <iframes> or <divs> and nothing seemed to work well with browsers other than IE...

    browser compatibility

    Which is the best way to go? 1. Using CSS hacks to get browsers to comply? 2. A script that detects browser version and applies the appropriate style sheet? Number 1 is a pain. If 2, will any old javascript check work or is there a better way?

    centering

    Is it possible to center your website on a page across resolutions without using tables? With CSS tables seem virtually obsolete except in this one instance. Right now I get my pages left aligned which is okay, but I'd prefer them to be centered. Right now I'm using top:xxx; left:xxx...

    external vs internal css

    Is there a general rule of thumb? Is one preferable to the other in certain situations? Does an external SS load only once per website or with each page refresh/page. Thanks!

    user input without prompt window

    In C if I wanted to do this I'd use a gets or scanf statement. Is there an equivelent in JS? I have a loop, and within the cycle I want input from the user. I don't want to use a prompt. I'd prefer it to be mouse driven if possible. Ideally, I'd like it to perform the actions within the...
