You're right. That's what I get for suggesting off the top of my head.

Try

#picture a { border: none; }

Which works in Firefox/Win2K. Haven't played with it in any other browsers.

Bless you! One of these days I'll read the entire CSS spec in order. I'm sure I've covered it by bits and pieces, but inheritance just never sticks that way.

To think it was just two characters off from where I was.

Now my page is all tidy and stuff.

I've read it, and I still have to look shit up when it gets at all complicated.

I've just done a three browser check (Opera, Firefox, and IE) and they all display the picture correctly without the dotted bottom border. Seems that IE also loses the border on the text in the picturebox div, but I really don't care.

Something I dropped into the code that I never had before -- link rel navigation attributes. I don't know if other browsers care, but in Opera I can now move to the next page in the series with a mouse gesture, instead of having to click on anything.

You mean prev, next, that kind of thing? Cool.

Yeah -- I've been skimming this accessibility site, and it doesn't seem like the major browsers care. Still, I like what it does for Opera, and it can't hurt.

Interesting tidbit here about CD copy-protection: [link]

SonyBMG plans to begin the new year with a batch of freshly pressed music cds that will feature copy protection technology from First 4 Internet. First 4 Internet's technology encodes the music files with a heavy encryption that allows standard cd players to playback the music. There are also additional data files on the CD that further enhance encryption. All of which is easily bypassed by simply holding down the shift button when you load the CD into a PC.

A very good friend is looking for a cheap laptop under $200 that is adequate for college classes via the Internet. Prefer Mac, but in this case, even a Windows would be doable.

I'm doing some looking, but am not yet arrogant enough to believe I know all the best deals, or even if there might be a techy Buffista wanting to sell.

I will be giving the resulting machine a good twice over and prepping it for this person, so I want to evaluate it as if it was for myself.

Any leads, let me know, as I will be looking. Any private mails can go to my listed account or at dcjensen at mac dot com.

Have you tried eBay? You should be able to find a clamshell G3 iBook for that much.

eta: duh, my link was to a screen only....

I've been thinking of buying one of those myself, just because they're cute....

eta: OK, most clamshells seem to be going for more than that...

Have you tried eBay?

Yes, I am looking at eBay. It was, in fact, my first stop. However, I know that it is not the be all and end all, despite being arguably one of the most well-known sites on the internet.

And yeah, Mac laptops tend to be pricy on eBay. All laptops, really.
