Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Everyone knows I can't code for shit. Well, everyone who would care to think about my coding abilities, anyway.
I'm trying to just put together a small little thing on my book, and for some reason, I have three columns showing up when I just want the text to fall in blocks under each other.
Also, does anyone know why there's an enormous space between the apostrophe and the "s"? Should I try a different font?
Appreciate anyone with the time and patience.
Allyson, I don't see 3 columns.
You've got a superscript 1 instead of an apostrophe here:
When Allyson Beatrice isn't watching television, she¹s
That's what I see too, though the second apostrophe is fine.
Allyson, I don't see three columns. In Firefox, everything looks cool. In IE, the header and footer aren't centered. The font appears to be standard Arial and I don't see anything odd about apostrophe-esses.
Other comments: I might drop the commas setting off "in her mid twenties" and after "message boards". Also, I think you mean "pay allegience"? Otherwise it looks great to me.
ETA, I'm in Firefox. Off to check IE.
ETA2: In IE, the header and footer are left-justified. Everything else the same, including the superscript "1"
I don't see the three cols, either. Just the superscript 1. Other than that, the apostrophes look fine.
I can see a few things in the source that could be switched to CSS to make your life/updating easier.
If you'd like, once you've got it written up and looking the way you like, you can e me the files (momhlet at gmail), and I can clean them up for you. Wouldn't take more than a jiffy, and your content is so much more interesting than the content I do that with for a living.
On a separate issue, I hate going into IE because it reminds me, despite how much I prefer Firefox in other respects, how much faster IE is than Firefox. Is this normal, or is there something I can adjust to get FF up to speed?
Brenda, what platform are you on? I've always found FF to be far faster, but I do have to close it from time to time for optimal performance in OSX, which I don't remember having to do on XP. (The Mac version is a lot buggier, in my experience, than the Windows one. Which annoys me, as I'm not using my XP box much at the moment, and do all my browsing on Fredlet.)
oh! thanks, Plei! It'll take me awhile, I'm really very slow-going on this stuff.
XP home. Closing it from time to time hasn't seemed to affect it.
