My iPod has gets its recharging via a USB-to-iPod connector cable

Hmm. I usually use this on a Firewire machine, but I do seem to remember this was part of the reason why.

Okay, I'll hit up the Apple store today.

Thanks, guys.

I don't know if anyone is familiar with the course software Blackboard. There are instructions as to how to format a tab delimted file to upload test questions, which I followed to the letter here:

It does not work. When I go to upload them, I get an error (can't parse) on every line.

Tech support is telling me that the below:

Multiple Choice questions are structured as follows:

‘MC’ TAB question text (TAB answer text TAB ‘correct’ or ‘incorrect’)

Text within () may be repeated for each of the answers that are part of the Multiple Choice question. The maximum number of answers is 20.

means that I should use the single quotes and parentheses in my document but a) it isn't done that way in the sample document and b) it doesn't work.

Does anyone have any ideas? .

Sophia, I should be able to help, but I can't get to it just now -- can you wait until, say 4-ish? And what Blackboard version are you on, what OS, etc?

Thanks amych

I am using Blackboard Academic Suite™ (6.3.1.574) on a Windows XP professional with Internet Explorer (I can't figure out which version). I already foudn that Blackboard and Firefox don't seem to play nicely!

I am using Blackboard for my online class now, but I am still figuring it out myself and don't know how to fix your problem with it.

They should! but that's a separate rant for another time.... I'll see what I can find for you about test uploads after my next way-too-many meetings.

Can someone explain why tables for layout are so depreciated. I did a CSS replacement for a table layout and it has seperate hacks for netscape 4.0 , I.E. below 7 and I.E 7. It still doesn't work right in opera. At this point I'm ready to go back to friggin table - where none of the three columns will overlap in any browsers. By the time you have to a seperate "Div" for what would have been a cell in a table, what exactly does any of this gain?

When I did some reading on CSS a while ago, it was pretty well acknowledged that layout issues that could be easily solved with a table were still a major hurdle in CSS.

You've probably done the same reading, but I could dig out a few sites and the sample code they produced, if it would help.

I think they (standards people) want tables in CSS mostly for philosophical reasons. i.e, the idea tha only content goes in the HTML, and all formatting stuff goes in CSS.

I asked a similar question about tables a while back: and Plei slapped me down (in a good way!).
