Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse normally html prints out vary according to people's browser settings.

That's kind of what I figured. No big -- it's not for printing out, anyway.

Like I said, you can control it most of the time. HTML/CSS let's you specify fonts, font sizes, exact margins - all that stuff if you choose. And, the example of SOBs like me to the contrary, most browsers will honor it.

One trick you can do with CSS is have one style sheet for the screen and another for the printer. (There is even a media attribute when linking to style sheets that lets you specify which media a sheet is for. Opera is (as far as I know) the only browser that currently honors this; so in practice you would make two copies of your html under different names, with identical html, but importing different style sheets. I wonder if dreamweaver has an option to do this for you. Never used dreamweaver, but from what I've heard seems like the kind of thing it might have a template to generate.

t On Edit

Apparently dreamweaver 8 has at least some tools for doing this - though not completely automatically.

Also, apparently Opera is no longer the only browser that honors the "media" attribute.

It really just sounds like it would take more time to figure out than I think it's worth. I'm not sure if the staff person who uses the template knows what CSS is.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hey - cell phone question here. I want to sell my old one on eBay, but I can't figure out how to make it not "mine" anymore. I've deleted all my contacts and pictures, and reset the preferences back to the default, but I can't find anywhere that tells me how to detatch it from my phone number (or delete the ringtones I added, though that's less of an issue). Any advice on how to do a hard reset on an LG VX6100?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I belive that it is something that your carrier has to do, at the same time you get your new phone activated.

Huh -- my new phone IS activated, but my old one still lists my number under the "location" menu. Guess I'd better call Verizon. Ick.

It's great! Do you know of any way to make the blinking light not blink anymore? I realize that it's helpfully telling me about the status of the battery, but I'd love to be able to turn that off.

On the 700p, I can clear the blinking light by holding down the middle button. I don't know how it works on the 650.

Hey. New board.

There's a free utility somewhere called LEDOff, Jessica. Google it or search handango.com or your preferred palm OS software site. I can't live without it.
