Can it be done? I know that an element needs either absolute positioning or a CSS width value specified in order for IE filters to display (or possibly other properties will work; I haven't played with it that much), but neither of these will work effectively for pseudo-elements (first-letter in...

[reading] I'm looking for a good book on using behaviors, filters, and transitions in Internet Explorer. The Microsoft website has some nice examples, but I'm always happier with a big, thick hard-copy reference guide. Does anybody know of anything out there? JavaStripped "I did *not*...

I was playing with JavaScript for getting rid of the focus outline on activated buttons/links/etc. I think this is pretty much how everybody does it (seems like the easiest way, anyway): onMouseUp = "this.blur()" But inserting this into every single individual button and link in my site seems...

I'm trying to figure out how I can preserve my HomeSite 5.5 configuration data (specifically CodeSweeper tag info and color coding settings) across different machines. Can anybody tell me which files/folders I need to copy? I've tried the files in the UserData folder; replacing them changes...

Is it possible to use IE filter transitions in hyperlinks to animate page transitions? All of the examples and tutorials I can find use transitions specifically for showing and hiding objects on the same page, and my experimentation is getting me nowhere. [curse][hairpull3] Thanks for any...

Is it even theoretically possible to use list-style-type values other than the "disc," "circle," and "square" values (for example, using a character entity value)? It doesn't seem to work directly, but I was wondering if such behavior is considered to be part of the CSS2 (or CSS3 draft)...

...how do I turn it off? Or can I? I just think it looks really stupid when my nicely-grayed-out "disabled" elements still highlight normally, even if they don't do anything at that moment. I would think that CSS should provide a way to do this, but if there is, it's a proposal for CSS3. BTW...

Is there any way to kill the highlighting on disabled option elements in a select control? I figured out how to fade the text to grey; that was rather easy, in fact; but I'd really like to be able to tell the browser not to mouseover-highlight option elements that are disabled. I'm developing...

I'm using the MSHTML control and an HTML table for my "database" interface (would like to use Access, but nothing has worked there so far). The problem I'm having with MSHTML is, in both table view and record list view I get a blank dummy record at the end of the data, and in record...

Is there any way to edit the language/extension profile in order to add new categories for color coding? No big deal... I'd just like to make my list tags a different color from all of my "legitimately" unclassifiable tags. They separate list tags into their own category for everything...

Specifically, which characters are and are not allowed in a class (or ID) name, and what is the maximum length for a class (or ID) name? I can't seem to find documentation on this anywhere... maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places. Thanks for any clarification on this. [yawn] This is a...

I've been playing with dynamic link styles in my current project, and I've noticed that (at least in IE6; I haven't tried other versions yet, and I know that "hover" is IE-only) the settings for "visited" seem to override anything in the way of settings for "hover&quot...

Is there a way to style the OL LI marker (the 1, A, etc.) independently of the LI text/contents? I'd like to be able to put the marker in bold, but not the actual text inside the LI tag. Different colors would be cool, too, but I'm not greedy... ;-) Thanks. JavaStripped "I did *not*...

Everything I can find online involving "CSS" and "tables" is about whether to use one or the other for page layout. I'm firmly on board with CSS in this debate. What I need to know is how to use CSS to style tabular data (that which we are supposed to use tables for). It...

...using CSS, of course. Right now, I'm just putting a nbsp in the cell, but I'd like to make the cell completely empty, but still displayed in terms of borders and background, if this is possible. Not to be picky or anything... [blush] JavaStripped "I did *not* escape. They gave me a...

As you can tell from my handle, most of what I do is JavaScript, and that forum is where I spend most of my time on this site. However, I recently encountered a deficiency in my HTML knowledge: Is there any way to force a button's displayed name (value) to display on multiple lines? If there...

Is is possible to call a JavaScript function immediately by selecting a specific <OPTION> value in a <SELECT> control (i.e., via some attribute of the <OPTION> element)? E.g.: <SELECT...> <OPTION...attr=&quot;function()&quot;...> [reading]I've found no such attribute mentioned anywhere, so I'm...

How do I pre-load an entire .js file before scripts start executing? I'm adrift in &quot;Object expected&quot; errors in code that worked fine yesterday, and I haven't changed anything except to add additional functions to the file. And yes, it's the code that worked that's giving me the...

I got into JS a few months ago, and all was going more or less well until I got to this point. I'm trying to send form textbox values back to the parent of the parent of the dialog box in IE5/6. The main web page has a dialog box (using showModalDialog()) that opens a second dialog box (using...
