  1. Perhaps this will help: http://moneytreesystems.com/css/picpopup.html
  2. IE is creating the gap because of the blank space you have after the header image tag and before the closing table data tag. Remove the blank space so that the image tag is flush against the closing td tag, and you'll be golden. Like this: <img alt='Our Second Ghost' src='images/header.png'></td>
  3. Leo doesn't own any of CFH. If I'm not mistaken, G4 and Rogers Media in Canada jointly own it. Rogers currently has the production rights to the show, so the show has to continue to be produced in Canada. Sure, things could change sometime in the future, but for now, G4 won't be able to put their stank on it. The new Call For Help is different from the old one, and in my opinion, it's better. I never thought I'd see the day when G4 would do something to make me want to tune back in. I'm pleasantly surprised that I was wrong about that. If only G4 had done a better job communicating the go
  4. The person who wrote that was obviously kidding. Here's what the notice said about porn: Sorry, but..... No porn for you!
  5. This is halarious. Public relations has never been one of G4's strong suits, has it? I mean, they could simply have announced that Call for Help was returning to the U.S. and would air on G4, and people would have rejoiced at the news. But no! What do they do instead? They allow a draft copy of an announcement to be seen by the mods, who are outraged by the misinformation in the draft, so much so, that they blow their tops and shoot themselves in the foot. Now these mods are leaving G4 just as Tech is returning to G4. Oh, the irony.
  6. This is how you do it in Outlook. I'm pretty sure it's the same, or similar in Outlook Express. First, make sure you're composing your mail as HTML. Click Format on the toolbar, and make sure HTML is selected. Then, type the words "Click Here" in the body of your email. Click and drags over the words to select them. Then, on the toolbar, click Insert, then Hyperlink. Enter the URL in the URL box and click OK. That's it!
  7. If you own a USB flash drive and want a way to bring your favorite browser with you everywhere you go, check out Portable Firefox. I installed it on my Sandisk Minicruzer last night. It takes up only about 9MB and it works like a charm. Hopefully, someone will find this useful. Edit: Hmmm, maybe I should have put this in the browser forum. Sorry if I put it in the wrong place.
  8. Apology accepted, Crow. It's all good. **Burt shakes Crow's hand** I'm not sure what you are referring to at W3 (4.whateverthelatestversionis?). The very first line on the page I linked to reads, "XHTML is the next generation of HTML..." I looked on the Introduction to HTML page as well, and didn't see anything there referring to XML. I also looked on the page about XML that you linked to, and I don't see any reference made to HTML. It doesn't really matter. I was just curious what you were talking about.
  9. Thanks, Snaxe. You are quite right. I did leave that out.
  10. That was unneccesarily rude, Crow. I didn't mean to offend you. I was just trying to clear up some misconceptions that you have. Sorry for trying to help. Regarding your suggestion that I study what I say, I earned a certificate in designing and implementing XML applications from New York University, and I use XHTML and XML for a living, so I know what I'm talking about. XML is NOT HTML 4.0.
  11. I figured there had to be a good reason. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity. Just wanted to add: If you're going to be using Windows XP, your sister-in-law may run into an issue with activating it. If she's going to activate it with her own XP product key, she should be able to activate it, but she still may be prompted to call Microsoft to do so. If you're trying to use the same product key on both computers, you may run into trouble.
  12. Yes, that sounds correct, but I have to wonder: if you're dong a new install anyway, why not just do it on the machine that you want to use the hard drive on? I'm guessing there must be some reason. If it's because the other PC doesn't have a CD-ROM drive, I'd just borrow one from the first machine to make the installation.
  13. If you want to avoid the step of deleting files after you've moved them, cut and paste instead of using send to.
  14. Your best bet to pull this off would be to go into your device manager and uninstall all motherboard-related devices prior to doing the swap. The devices you want to uninstall are all listed under 'System Devices' and 'Universal Serial Bus controllers.' Remove each device, one at a time and do not restart when promted. Once you've uninstalled each device, shut down the computer, and install the hard drive into the other machine. When you boot up for the first time, the operating system should recognize the new motherboard, and install generic system drivers that should allow you to boot up
  15. I'm guessing you meant XHTML and not XML. I'm not sure I agree that XHTML is simplified, and I'm quite sure that plain old HTML accepts color names as well as hexidecimal values. XHTML is just the latest HTML specification. Think of XHTML 1.0 as HTML 4.0, but with stricter rules for syntax. The link that handplane left explains the differences very well (there aren't many). Here's a quick lowdown: XHTML requires html, head and body elements. HTML allows you to omit these. XHTML requires a DOCTYPE declaration. HTML does not. All XHTML must be in lower case. Again, HTML doesn't care.
