CSS is cool and all, but I don't get why tables are considered "old fashioned".
- lead to bloated markup
- crap for text readers and accessibility in general
- PITA for redesigns
- bad for document flow
- degrade like ass on toast
- the W3C says so
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, I've found that initially doing the positional CSS is a bitch, but once it's done, it's pretty sweet.
Thanks for that page, Ginger -- it's confirmed that the float is less of a cheat than I'd thought, and I'm going to re-float the nav panels on the left and the right -- my main problem was that the middle column was wrapping around the left one.

About that Netflix class action settlement mentioned in Press -- FAQ Wife got an email from Netflix about it, so hopefully it's well known.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Thanks for the Quicktime advice -- I got the screen cap I needed. I was looking under Save As, when I needed Export instead. ::sigh::

(Originally posted in BBaBB, but it's happening on more than one website, so clearly a browser issue.)
Last night before I went to bed, everything looked completely normal here, but this morning, quoted text is appearing in regular font instead of monospace. It's like Firefox is getting the t blockquote part, but ignoring the t tt
Any ideas? I'm on Firefox 1.0.7/Tiger 10.4.2, and I haven't deliberately changed any settings since last night, when it was working fine.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Your cat probably walked on your keyboard.
Although if you don't have a cat, the odds of this diagnosis being correct is somewhat less.
Um, have you restarted Firefox?
ION, any advantage to switching to Firefox from Mozilla? For some reason I seem to like Firefox more these days, but I can't come up with any concrete reasons why....

Hey. New board.
For future reference, Theodosia, in Quicktime you can actually pause the video where you want to take the screencap, click the image, and choose copy. Then paste it into any image program - I use Preview, usually, on my mac, with the "New from Clipboard" option under File. Should also work in a more edity program if you're editing.

I have, and it hasn't made any difference. I haven't restarted the computer, though.

You might even try upgrading to Firefox 1.5 RC3, maybe it'll fix it and give you a better version while you are doing it....
