  1. how is opera coming along with CSS3? From what I have read Safari got an early jump on CSS3 and Firefox is doing okay too.

    Safari 3 / WebKit has implemented 18 of the 19 CSS 3.0 styles so far tackled by any of the major browsers. Firefox is next with 9 of 19.
  2. perhaps that may matter to asome clients but like I said I have not had a client in 7 years that cared or asked about degrees or certifications, they only cared about samples of past work.Employers care about certifications but experience is considered justs as good if not better anyways. And when an employer wants certification it needs to be from a widely recognized instituation like a college or university not a small tutorial site.

  3. If you are dishonest about your experince and skills it will quickly be evident to your client. Nothing will kill your career faster than a bad reputation.

  4. The W3C validator rejects the <marquee> tag and says that it can be replaced using CSS. I don't quite understand how you can make text scroll left-right with CSS. Is it possible?
    Not with CSS alone, you need a combo of CSS and Javascript. Check out dynamicdrive.com, they have a few different scripts to choose from for sliding text.
  5. does the designer refuse your temp table right away or only at runtime? I set up a sample project in VS2003 using hte builtin CR. I setup a connection to Northwind and then added a Sql Command instead of dragging fields from the the Northwind object.

    create table #Yaks(yakColor varchar(50) ,  yakName varchar(50))insert into #Yaksvalues('brown','Tibetan')select * from #Yaks

  6. okay, I guess I won't be much help on that issue. In CR 11 it allows SP, drag n drop datasource, and direct sql commands then in the designer you can drag all fields returned from the SELECT regardless if it is a temp table or not. Sorry.

  7. Does opera say were this custom js gets inserted? It makes big difference when the js is executed. Ideally it should be added at then end of the page to give you the ability override everything on the page.If the window.onload doesn't work that means that the page is already using the onload event.If the custom JS gets added at the end you can use

    window.onload += hideAd;

    to insert the function and not break existing onload events.

  8. ok I got it working. I had to specify which connection to use with mysql_query

    <?php		class Database	{		private $server;		private $user;		private $password;		private $database;		private $db;				public function __construct()		{			$this->server = "localhost";			$this->user = "root";			$this->password = "sonicflood";			$this->database = "cms";		}				public function open()		{			$this->db = mysql_connect($this->server,$this->user,$this->password);			if(!$this->db) die("Unable to connect to database server!");			mysql_select_db($this->database) or die("Unable to select database!");		}				public function query($query)		{			return mysql_query($query,$this->db);		}					public function close()		{			mysql_close($this->db);		}	}	?>

  9. my database class now looks like this but I still get eh same errors

    <?php		class Database	{		private $server;		private $user;		private $password;		private $database;		public $db;				public function __construct()		{			$this->server = "localhost";			$this->user = "root";			$this->password = "sonicflood";			$this->database = "cms";		}				public function open()		{			$this->db = mysql_connect($this->server,$this->user,$this->password);			if(!$this->db) die("Unable to connect to database server!");			mysql_select_db($this->database) or die("Unable to select database!");		}				public function query($query)		{			return mysql_query($query);		}					public function close()		{			mysql_close($this->db);		}	}	?>

  10. you will have to run IIS. This requires Windows2000 Pro or WinXp Pro. If you do not have tis or don't wnat to set it up on your local machine. Brinkster.com provides free ASP hosting. It does have a tricky contol panel though.

  11. try using only one catch statement and use a regualr Exception and use Console.Write to output the error. That way you can see the true compiler error not the custom error that somebody made up.
