    Idiots

    that's awesome that you got to skip the class, at least, but quite silly that you were there at all. I'll hopefully skip some of my first classes when I get going in tech school.
  2. I don't have access to any IPB code, it's proprietory software, if I remember correctly. I guess the answer is to make mpoer a super-dooper mod with admin-like privledges :)but really, it sounds like perhaps a common thing... isn't there an IPB mod repository somewhere?

    That's really good to hear as I get closer to that point. I'm looking at an Associate's Degree in web design and/or Linux/Unix Network Administration.

    actually, i tried setting both the widths to 100px, but it didn't show the image

    Site feedback

    yep, that'd be easy enough :)i'll start working in a few minutes on this. Should take more than a day or two, PM me your E-Mail and I can email you progress reports/questions/and/or files
  6. this many web developers and we're making people type in the info like they're data entry slaves... couldn't we just mod IPB profile feature to include this info?

    indeed you are, sir :)and yes, I see MySQL in there. I'll piece togeter a script tonight. Are there any special features you want? don't expect Wordpress or anything, it'll just be an input/output thing. I'm thinking post title, date entered, and the content, and then another script to output the database.

    Harsh situation with the computers, let me know if you need any help from <yasp>Nerd Herd Computer Services </yasp> :)I'll scratch some code together if you want. Do check on MySQL, because it'll make things much easier. But if not, i'm sure i can do something with xml data files. It never hurts to learn new things :Dand yes, PHP include just makes things easy, doesn't it? :)btw, how did you know my name was matt? j/c do you read my blog?

    a little bit like this: #header { padding-bottom: 10px; text-align:center; font-size: 1em; background-color:#00ced1; color:#191970;}#header .left { background-image:url('tux-head.png'); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:bottom left; float:left;}#header .middle { text-align:center; margin-left:105px; margin-right:105px;}#header .right { background-image:url('tux-head.png'); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:bottom right; float:right;} <div id="header"> <div class="left"></div> <div class="middle"> <h1><a href="http://thinktank.ichyware.net:81/%7Ematthew/wordpress/">the weblog of mpoer</a></h1> <div class="description">Family, Web Development, Debian GNU/Linux, and the Atlanta Thrashers</div> </div> <div class="right"></div> </div> doesn't seem to be working. neither image shows at all. can you see what I'm doing wrong?

    not a bad idea! I'll mess around and see if I can do that.
  11. I use a perl script/software called AWStats. It is really useful if you have perl available

    currently the header is thus: /* relevant css */#header { padding-bottom: 10px; text-align:center; font-size: 1em; background-color:#00ced1; color:#191970; background-image:url('tux-head.png'); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:bottom right;}----<div id="header"> <h1><a href="http://thinktank.ichyware.net:81/%7Ematthew/wordpress/">the weblog of mpoer</a></h1> <div class="description">Family, Web Development, Debian GNU/Linux, and the Atlanta Thrashers</div> </div> and that renders it as shown here: http://thinktank.ichyware.net:81/~matthew/wordpress/What I would like is to have tux's head on both the bottom left and the bottom right parts of the head section, or perhaps tux's head on one side and another similarly-sized image on the other side. Any suggestions? I think this is beyond CSS' capabilities.

    Time to Design

    Ain't nothing wrong with that. However, as I've said before, not everyone can afford Dreamweaver. Bluefish is a good OSS alternative, but it's not quite the same. Us poor folk might just stick with hand-code in an OSS text editor
  14. I think I first found it when I would google something like "css background" because I couldn't remember all the CSS, or something similar in html/xhtml. I realized the W3Schools was almost always the top search result, so I finally checked out the whole site. I've used it as a referance since then, and a few weeks (months maybe?) ago I decided to join the forum and see if I can give something back
  15. Yep, I read about this a few weeks ago. I really thought M$ was up to something weird with this, because it seems so very uncharacteristic of them to not push IE somewhere... but nothing seemed to come of it. I guess it's just done
  16. that was pretty much my reaction, too! we have some really skilled designers and developers on these forums. Check out people's profiles, homepages, and sigs, they got good stuff

    sizes please?

    just some feedback: I started using some em sizes for fonts in my last web site and it turned out very well. It was easy to manage and very scalable, so I'm happy with it. I still find myself using px and percentages for images and div.widths, though.
  18. This is a web development forum, I don't think this topic is appropriate here.Besides, bypassing a school filter can/will get you into a lot of trouble, at my school at least. 9 days 'alt school' for the first offense, if it is mild. It is not hard to get kicked right out. I suggest you do your Internet surfing at home and use the school comptuers for what they are, as lame and slow as they are, running Windows in all the arrogent administraror's unjustified glory, with spyware and all. Don't worry yourself with it.
  19. I really do all of the above equally... so I don't have a main reason (sorry for being such a knot-head ). I do it for fun/hobby, but also as business, I made a theme for my WordPress Blog, and yeah I do just about everything
  20. put your finger on your mouse wheel and press down. :click:middle clicks are still around on modern computers... but if you're on thinktank (my IBM Thinkpad 600 circa 98ish), it's the blue button under the spacebar
  21. It'll be nice to have a way to use targets again... I haven't used it in a long time, since i've used XHTMl 1.0 Strict. Although, more advanced users know to just middle click (FF & Opera users at least) for a new tab

    Gradient color

    Holy Stuff that's some crazy coding! that guy is really inventive. I have to say, a gradient background is probably one of the only cases in which I would rather use an image than the code... it might actually take less space and bandwidth!

    Gradient color

    i was just wandering about this, actually. i guess i'll just use the graphical way out. any clue if this could be in a future version of CSS, though?

    Very Strange

    well I've learned something new again. but on what search engine does "http//jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/" result in Microsoft?certainly not google, my deault search enginehttp://www.google.com/search?q=%22http%2F%...validator%2F%22
  25. I think it's a very possible idea. I also think it's a great project that can prove helpful to new and novice web designers and developers
