  9. You want a gmail invite? by Laebshade · · Score: 2, Informative · on A GMail-based blog With 1000 MB of entries

    If you want a gmail invite you just have to search on Google. Google is giving invitations away a lot more now to current subscribers. Visit my website, I have 5 gmail invites left to give. And I'm giving them away for free, no strings attached. Gmail is still in beta too, so that's probably why it's currently invitation only. Not sure if they have plans to make it open to all though.

    Btw, POP access is currently in the works, though IMAP would indeed be nice. I'll make a suggestion.

    No, this is technically incorrect :P

    Ok, bad joke, had to plug my own website. I've never dabbled with XML itself, but I use XHTML 1.1 Transitional on my website. It *was* XHTML 1.1 Transitional compliant until I decided to change it where I have a <div> tag inside a <span> tag (a big no no apparently). Working on changing it...

    You didn't look hard enough. The same CSS positioning I mention on my website using a combination of left, right, top, and bottom, along with overflow: {scroll|hidden|auto} and position: {absolute|relative}. You can view the CSS too. If you look at my site you will notice that the width for the content expands as the page expands in size but the width of the menu does not expand horizontally only vertically (as needed). It is very possible to do what you want to do. Here's what you need to do:

    Enclose the images and text in a div tags. Assign an id to the div so it can be identified in a external CSS file. Enclose each item - image, text, image - in a div tag too with an id to identify them. The HTML should look something like this:
    <div id="header"><div id="img1">[image]</div><div id="htext">[text]</div><div id="img2">[image]</div>
    Then the CSS should look something like this:
    #header {
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    }

    #img1 {
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;

    }

    #htext {
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;

    #img2 {
    position: absolute;
    right: 0;
    }
    I haven't tested that but it should work. Of course you'll want to play around with it and modify it, but you get the idea.

    CSS does mundane and complex styling, but it is not, to my understanding, meant to replace tables exclusely. You had trouble getting a three column layout to work? Apparently you didn't take a look at CSS positioning. As for the "little space as possible" problem: not sure exactly what you're wanting to do but you can use width and min-width (minimum width), in addition to the CSS positioning I mentioned.

    Want a header with centered text and left/right flanking images? Easily accomplished with several lines of structured code. I would provide an solution but I'm not sure how you're want it to be done. If you take a look at my website's CSS you can see it is very possible to use CSS to design an entire site.

    It's not that they're using a fixed width that is the problem, and the main reason they're using it is so users won't see it smaller than it really should be. Instead of using width (like I assume they're using) they should be using min-width. As the name implies, this would set a minimum width (as I use on my website's CSS.

    HTML is for structuring the document, CSS is for styling it.

  18. Re:Blaming the user by Laebshade · · Score: 1 · on Infected PCs for Rent

    Well yes, one shouldn't take analogies very seriously and treat them loosely, otherwise they fall apart :). It is definitely difficult, but there are bonuses to it. For one, I have access to a T1 line where I can surf/work on my website in between calls. It's a very laid back atmosphere too.

    As far as the anlogy goes, changing your oil every 3 months isn't necessary; it depends on how much you use it. the rule of thumb is every 3000 miles (or 3 months if you don't put that much).

    But the analogy can't be taken that far simply because most people leave their computers on when they're not using them. That would be like running a vehicle for a whole month straight!

    A lot of breathing exercises go into dealing with customers, and a lot of it is just telling them how it is, telling them flat out, "look, it's a PC issue, we can't fix it and it isn't even our problem". People need to start buying those extended warranties or better yet get some computer education.
