Working with opacity doing a transition, the following works in IE and Firefox: style="opacity: 0; filter: alpha(opacity=0); -moz-opacity: 0; -khtml-opacity: 0;" If I put the same into a CSS file and run the transition JS script, neither Firefox nor IE (version 6) changes opacity. When I...

I received a document with a strange arrow character several places in it. The shaft of the arrow points up then turns to the right where the point of the arrow is, and it is listed in Symbols as a general punctuation character. The character cannot be highlighted to copy and paste, appears at...

Just learning about database programming, and I ran across something I haven't been able to find anything that addresses this situation here or on Google. Several of the field names of existing databases (using BDE and Paradox drivers) have a pound sign # as a character. When I try to set the...

There's a discrepancy between the automatic padding/margin between Firefox and IE 6 in the logo at the top center on the following page: http://www.bigskydrivein.com and I've tried several different things to make the display uniform. I haven't done enough with CSS to remember (or know) how...

My wife handles medical dictation and stores some blocks of standard dictation in a text file. I wrote a small VB app to make searching through the file easier, but she still has to paste the found text from the clipboard (copying to the clipboard from the app is done with one button) into the...

The design of this site made it impossible for me to access the text area to type in a response to your problem. The problem is with a detail visible in your first posting: The type="javascript" isn't valid. It should be type="text/javascript". I missed it because I'm so used to seeing...

Is there any way in a destructor to automatically set the "this" pointer to zero, or NULL? Lee

A friend has asked me to help him with some web pages in Chinese. He has the idea it'll be a simple matter of copying and pasting from either a word processor file or text editor, but I'm not sure it's that simple. I've only done pages in English so far, so if anyone has any experience with...

I recently installed a simple, Belkin 2-port PS2 KVM switch so my wife could share the mouse, keyboard, and monitor between her personal (Compaq 866Mhz) and work computer. It worked great until she switched to a different company, and their tech came in to install their computer. Now, the work...

While I'm not new to programming, I've recently started learning Borland's C++ Builder Pro 1.0 (and have all the original manuals with it). I worked some with C++ with the old Borland 3.1 compiler, but that's been a while. I understand C++ objects relatively well. I get a compile error in a...

I just downloaded and installed Firefox last night. Doing some design this morning, I ran into a problem with Firefox (in IE it works fine) not using the value returned from a function, but the actual string that is the function call. The actual code in the function is, with onediv retrieved...

Using the Rich Text Box control, I display a RTF formatted string put together by the program. I designed the RTF form outside the program (saved in WordPad to avoid MS Word RTF codes), then copied the RTF codes directly from a text editor into the program to plug in the desired data, with...

Tripod has instituted GZIP software compression for MIDIs. MP3s, Javascript, and some other file types for sites hosted on their servers. Because of this, visitors to these sites using Netscape 4.7 and earlier will be unable to access anything compressed with this software. Angelfire will be...

I saw a site that advertises a tool for $50 that will encrypt web pages. It has a few sample pages that would look impressive to anyone not realizing all they do is write the page in % hex codes, then use Javascript unescape() inside document.write() to spit the page out. If anyone wants to...

I just went to your site (approximate 7:50 a.m., EDT) and there's a popunder that comes up before the page completely loads. I'm not trying to be nasty or impolite. I apologize for coming across that way, and do not intend any kind of disrespect for you in this post, either. I've read and...

A while back, xutopia wrote up some tips for optimizing Javascript code, and the question came up about what kind of loop was fastest. This can be significant in processing arrays, so the other day I tested the 3 kinds of loops in Javascript in Netscape 4.7, Netscape 6.1, and IE 5.01 to see...

Just out of curiosity, what common programming languages, besides Prolog, are NOT based in U.S. English? Just curious if there are any that are popular or growing in popularity.

In client-side Javascript, it's possible to alias document.write(), like: var write=document.write; Is it possible to do the same with Response.Write? I've tried the same (in JS ASP): var write=Response.Write; and function Document() { this.write=Response.Write(); return this; } var...
