... that will teach me to read the whole thread!
Have a look in my sandbox, i think i found a solution. http://

The OBJECT model

Two ref's: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/objects.html#edef-OBJECT
http://www.htmlhelp.org/reference/html40/special/object.html

It tested well in Firefox and Opera on the Mac (Note: OK, but not as  
well in Safari???)

I don't know how it handles on Explorer in Windows???

Re: [WSG] Site Issue - opinions please

2007-02-20 Thread Charles Eaton

W3C says: try to avoid server-side image maps [xhtml]

a better setup (IMHO), is to use a definition list,
drop your image in the background of the dl, giving it the image size,
use dt and 3 dd's in a two row setup to overlay the image.
add text [no display] and links, ... your in business.

Hello all,

I updated my PHP Browser Sniffer script for Firefox 2.0 on Windows  
and Mac.
Windows I have confirmed myself. Mac, though, I cannot and was  
hoping one of

the Mac users on this list will confirm that your browser is shown.

http://mikecherim.com/experiments/php_browser_sniffer.php

If it's not, please reply with the referrer info so I can properly  
add it.

IE7 is done, but it's been updated since the betas. :-)

Thank you very much.

Respectfully,

Re: [WSG] Convert html to ascii script?

2006-04-17 Thread Charles Eaton

i have one setup at:
http://www.eatons.net/tools/code2html.html
it will convert and syntax color your code. You can use it or get the 
source code from the link at the very bottom of the page.

PS: you can also add line numbers.

I would like to post some code online, but it is a ton of work to 
manually convert tags to their ascii equivalents. Is there a fast, 
online (or offline) converter for this? The google approach has yet to 
yield me any free results.
