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!
I am brain-dead today.
I have a pair of radio buttons on a web page. How do I make them invisible?
Normally we create hidden fields with an <input type="hidden"> tag, except if I do this instead of <input type="radio"> then they are no longer radio buttons, and I'd have to change a bunch of code that refers to them. I suppose I could use javascript to hide them, but I want them always invisible (I don't want to wait for the onload event to fire).
My html knowledge has many holes in it, like a moth-eaten sweater....
Thanks, I'll give that a try....
eta: Ooh, that was easy!
Like so many things, it's easy when you know how.
I'm possibly looking for a docking station to use with my laptop, since one of our desktops have died. Toshiba apparently doesn't make one, which seems odd to me. I want something that will connect to an external monitor, not just function as a USB hub.
Anyone have any experience with this?
The forces of stupidity have triumphed.
I had a meeting to discuss our web site and the 20-something who's had all kinds of wonderful ideas (like making some information only available if you're willing to wait for 30 photos to download and prefers to have multiple layers of organization - requiring more and more clicks to find some information - and putting lots and lots of high-res images without a single ALT tag) prevailed. sigh.
When I asked about making the site accessible to people using a hand-held or who didn't have a broadband connection, I was told "these guys travel with laptops more powerful than any of our desktops" so it wasn't necessary.
Oh ... and they want our organization - a trade association, basically - on Twitter.
Gah! The stupid, it burns!
If it's any consolation, my teachers in Digital Design would all disapprove of their approach.
Web developers and designers have lovely big screens to work on, and that can lead to thinking that is the way that all pages will be viewed. I've seen the same mode of thinking affect application developers -- a coworker I just couldn't get it across that most of our users were going to see these screens on a dinky laptop screen and that he should never plan on their windows being more than 800px across!
Does anybody have the Cascade Script font? I don't have $29 to buy it for about six small headlines on a website. I promise to burn it after using....
I have Freehand 471 [link]
