I hate HTML! They ought to simplify these things.. :(

dan perry you have just made my life a lot easier. thank you.

wow

― Ronan, Sunday, 6 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

three questions for those in the know:
1: does "font size" work like"point size" ie is size 4 smaller than size 10? is there a default size (presumably yes, in which, what is it?)
2: explain "cellspace"
3: explain "cellpadding"

(extra points for lucid brevity and fine penmanship)

― mark s, Sunday, 6 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

cell space and cell padding are to do with tables...cell padding affects how indented the table will be...er...I guess I can do tables when I have Dreamweaver or other web editor open. 0.1 of a point?

La la la, I'll be surprised if this works!

― james, Sunday, 6 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Oh it works! wow! View Source

this is such a beautiful thread

This is rather neat

five? nine? twelve?

― mark s, Monday, 7 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

one? two? three? half?

― mark s, Monday, 7 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

so how do i get the letters SMALLER than default size?

― mark s, Monday, 7 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

mark - there is some good advice on this page. See esp. second answer.

― Jeff W, Monday, 7 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Mark - on my mac your one? two? three? half? post is all smaller than normal except for the 'three' one. Plus/minuses are the way to go, though.

― N., Monday, 7 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

yeah i sorted it

don't think you can link directly to yahoo images, nick. it says that in the how to be a hippy guide to what's going on (uk collectors edition), i thought...

― gareth, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Weird - that's what I was testing. I knew geocities/web page ones taken over by Yahoo couldn't but I wasn't sure if that applied to photo album ones too. You're right that the one above doesn't work when I delete my cookies. BUT, the one of the Cameroon footballer does, even though its now in a folder that had exactly the same 'share with everyone' status. HANG ON A MINUTE! Now that one doesn't work either, despite the fact that Chris said it now was (following my changing the album setting from 'private' to 'share with everyone'). And it was working for me a minute ago, and post cookie-deletion. IT'S MESSING WITH MY MIND!

OK, sorted, I think. Everyone can see those last two, yes?

― N., Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I clicked on the properties then cut and pasted inrto my browser, which let me see it, after that it appeared on the nations cup page itself. How odd.

― chris, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

nope

― chris, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

But that's just MAD!! I have logged out of yahoo and deleted all my cookies yet the above two pics work for me. How can this be?

― N., Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Who can explain Chris's and my experiences. And is that last sentence grammatical, and if not how do I make it so? Surely I don't have to say "The experiences of Chris and me?"

― N., Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

There's a web cache on your network?

― RickyT, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Chris and I Nick, and I

― Ronan, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

sounds like a local cache. no one else has rights to that image, but you still have it on your hd, so it isn't fetched afresh from site.

― Alan Trewartha, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Ah, OK. But how does that explain what happened to Chris where it let him view it as an embedded image if he'd pasted in the address previously?

Ronan, "the experiences of I"? Surely not?

― N., Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

it's grammatical

― mark s, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

this isn’t business, this time it’s grammatical

― gareth, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I trust mark s. But it does sound weird, yes?

― N., Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

The address has a question mark in it, suggesting that yahoo does a server-side query for it. Perhaps they don't work as links because of this (I don't know why), but once you've pasted them into the browser they're cached locally and then work afterwards?

― Sam, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Surely this is all part of the conspiracy against N.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Yes, that's what I thought. You should hear what happened to my friend K.

― N., Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Tried downloading some porn and was never from again? Figures.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I don't think that was the subtext Kafka was aiming for, but you could be right. Maybe that's why Welles said he was guilty as hell. Orson knew all about the future of porn delivery channels, being a keen student of Nostradamus.

― N., Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Oh lord, *that* K. Bah. But yes, it was an analog download if you like.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Dude.

Go Back To The Top of the Thread

― jel, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I REALLY want little anchor tags for each post. So the first post gets <a name="1"> the second post gets <a name="2"> etc. so that it's possible to link to specific posts instead of just the whole thread. The way it is now it's like a hyooge collection of 70 minute mix CDs with only one track on each one. Also, it would allow jel to actually link to the top :)

(p.s. "my flesh"!! ha!)

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I'd really like an HTML error checker, so people can check for open tags, dead links and so on before they post.

― RickyT, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Could this be the answer to my problems?
I use a Mac (badly), so I don't even know how to "view source."
My continual posting ineptitude feels like the web equivalent of bad breath.
