Mal ,'The Train Job'
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!
Good idea. I'm on it.
eta: Well.
The disk opens perfectly on the iMac with system 9. I put it in the eMac and it doesn't even show up on the desktop.
ARgh.
etaa: a home burned audio cd popped right up on the desktop.
etaaasss: Aw jeez. I feel so stupid. In reading the quick start guide, I thought it said to install the drivers before hooking up the dvd drive. Um. No. I hooked the drive up, inserted the dvd and it brought up the utilities.
Nebbermind. I'm a dimwit.
Spent nearly 9 hours trying to upgrade the eMac today. The dvd drive works, but I can't get the system to recognize the Tiger disk. Nada. I can read the dvd utilities and regular dvds, but no love on the OS upgrade from 10.1.5.
Frustration in the extreme.
I tried restarting with the disk in the drive. I tried booting from the disk.
Why is this so hard?
So from your statement, it's not even showing up on the desktop?
Hmmm. If you boot into os9 mode, does it recognize the Tiger DVD?
First, a disclaimer: I did not create the troll. I'm moving content from an old website into a new design created by a design firm. Can anyone see any reason why the css on this page works in IE but disappears in Firefox? [link]
One clue is that it works in Firefox on my machine. This makes me suspect it's another frelling absolute path left to me by the designers.
I don't want anyone to go to a lot of trouble, but I'm feeling my sanity slip away.
Also, if anyone who knows html would like to make money doing something excruciatingly boring, e me.
Have you tried using t link rel="stylesheet" href="../interiorstyle.css" type="text/css" instead of the @import url thingie?
Actually, the @import was one of my desperate random efforts to make it work.
then I got nothin'
The console in Firefox claims that it didn't load it because the MIME type was text/plain, not text/css.
I love the Firefox console in a big way.
Edited to add, this looks like the web server is returning the wrong MIME type for the file, since you're declaring it as text/css. Not sure why that would happen.
I checked with the Unix command line tool wget and the Jackson server is claiming the type is text/plain, whereas buffistas claims style sheets are text/css.
You'd think that forcing the type to be text/css via the link command I used above would work, no?
It looks like I'm going to have to change .htaccess in Apache. I'm trying that now. I'm about to pound a hole in my desk with my head.
