    PowerPoint on Web

    CliveC, Exactly! So, do you really want to be using an application like PowerPoint to generate your content and HTML when there are other much better programs available for those tasks. The issue here is not the program really, but the user of the program, in this case my supervisor's boss...

    PowerPoint on Web

    CliveC, FX would be "effects" as in, animations, sounds, etc., in the original PPT file. I guess what I'm really asking for here are some great, valid reasons NOT to use PowerPoint content on the Web if at all possible. But there may be an appropriate and useful purpose for using PPT...

    PowerPoint on Web

    Thanks CliveC, Yes, I know about the Save as HTML option in most of the MS products, I use it for certain Word documents sometimes who's content needs to go online and the code always needs extensive clean-up to make it palatable, and I've seen what kind of HTML mess PPT files make when...

    PowerPoint on Web

    Thanks Wullie, It was helpful and it's a start in the right direction. I'll keep looking too. Thanks again.

    PowerPoint on Web

    Okay, I know this seems like a no-brainer, but please bear with me. My supervisor's boss, who has no real idea of how the Web, HTML or browsers work, wants to put a PowerPoint presentation on the Web. This person won't take my supervisor's word for it and since I'm just the code grunt, the task...

    Doctype header causing problem

    Thanks Nate, And I thought MS IE 6 was supposed to be the most W3C complient of the IE iterations so far. Maybe they've channeled their efforts in to "security" features instead of complient coding. Whahtevah! Have a great week otherwise! Ciao!

    Doctype header causing problem

    Thanks again Spyderix, Yes, or so the W3C validator says. And all but two of the errors are generated by line 35 which is a Google site search function, the code of which is supplied to me by the all-wise and all-knowing Information Management Department and therefore unassailable in it's...

    Doctype header causing problem

    Thanx, Spyderix, Well, I suppose that's entirely possible. But, is there any clue as to why it only does it in IE 6.x? I'll try running it through a validator also and see what it says. Here's the link to an example page: http://www.cbs.state.or.us/external/ins/docs/legislature/ins_bills.htm...

    Doctype header causing problem

    I have discovered that the doctype header I've been putting in my pages causes the text on the page to be centered in table cells, but only in IE 6.x. They display fine in IE 5.x. Here's the header code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN&quot...

    Simple Web Editor

    You might try 1st page from Evrsoft. http://www.evrsoft.com/ They have a free version that might be a smaller download and faster on your laptop. It's what I first used when learning HTML and Web page design. Almost real time WYSIWYG editing. You had to make changes in the code view and then...

    longer page vs. more clicks - what's better?

    DoubleV, You have a couple of possible solutions each unfortunately with their own pros and cons as far as usability are concerned. One is to use the infamous &quot;frames&quot; layout technique for pages long in content, but that is usually not a very elegant method and is despised by many...

    I'm also glad to see that this has turned into an interesting and ongoing discussion topic! We've been seeing some very good and thoughtful ideas and references presented here lately. I was thinking about what people have been saying here and elsewhere about this issue and it occurred to me...

    Wow! Thanks for the praise y'all! Now I'll have to buy a larger size hat! I think this has turned into a very good thread on an interesting topic. I'm glad to see people putting their sincere thoughts and opinions on this forum! I did a little informal polling about the subject at a recent...

    OPEIU Union for IT Folks?

    It's interesting to see how other IT and technical folks out there feel about unions. We have yet to hear from anyone on this forum who has joined a union that was directly organized around their situation to see how they feel or what their experience and thoughts on the issue are. I'm waiting...

    OPEIU Union for IT Folks?

    For others out there who would appreciate more information regarding unionization of IT professionals from a respected source, see the August 5, 2002 issue of eWeek magazine, page 41 for an article on the subject by Lisa Vaas. Also currently available online at...

    OPEIU Union for IT Folks?

    Craig, Labor unions have gotten themselves into a lot of trouble in the past few decades because of poor management and negotiating strategies and are paying for it now through low membership and bad PR (Having highly public internal power struggles and in-fighting, doesn't help either.) The...

    OPEIU Union for IT Folks?

    I'm a Web Coding Technician for a State government agency and am in the union here (OPEU/SEIU). I have also been in the Communications Workers of America union (CTA) in the past. My experience with the CTA was similar to carp's above, and I wasn't impressed. But that doesn't mean I'm opposed to...
