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!
My rule for CSS is "use a stylesheet,"
Yeah, this. No styling in content markup -- you may think you're only going to use a red button in one place (but, REALLY? silly client. Red means cancel, not OK), but then you end up having to recreate it each your wacky client decides it should be on another page too... If you never do that stuff in the body, you don't have to remember which place it is, plus you're ready to not screw things up when your IE-only app ends up being used in other browsers or totally different devices sometime 3 versions down the road.
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets, so it's kinda all inherent.
However, more to the point, I hate using styles in the HTML page. I find it clunky and confusing, and therefore tend to do the bad thing and use deprecated HTML instead. Bad coder. Bad, bad, coder.
HTML = model
CSS = view
JavaScript = controller
The three things should be as unmixy as possible.
ita, you FONT COLORer you!
HTML = model
CSS = view
JavaScript = controller
What do you do if you have formatting and Javascript in XML?
Oh, come on. What's a

From a practical perspective, if you keep your structure (HTML) and style (CSS) separate, you know which file to edit when you have to go back 6 months later and change everything from blue to red. Speaking as someone who has spent more time than she'd like to think about trying to figure out just which file she needed to fix.
Coming in late - tommyrot, if you really want to make table borders and rules disappear, you can set the color to match the background (white for my site's pages ... as I found out after a lot of aggravation).
Ok, anyone have any ideas? I have an emachine E627, and about two days ago, both of my USB ports stopped working. They appear to be working in the control panel, but if you plug anything into either one of them, nada.
Which completely sucks, since Dan's computer is not Linux based, and I can't connect my Touch or my external hard drive...where my resumes and 11 billion cover letter versions are.
Any ideas or advice? Obviously, I'm moving the external down to Dan's computer, so I can email my stuff to myself as a quickie, and I can burn a CD with all the other stuff, but I'd like to FIX it.
And we're broke.
You are using what flavor Linux?
