@CharlesJun 15.2006 — #im not sure thats what i needed[/QUOTE]I can assure you, that's exactly what you need. But you'll have to do your own work and bother to read until it makes sense.
@the_treeJun 15.2006 — #It should make sense the first time you read read it, but I can see it being a little confusing that you posted the pseudo-classes page.
@kaurotuauthorJun 15.2006 — #actually i tried doing the text lesson that you gave me and i can't figure out where to place the code or anything.(the lessons are very vague)
could anyone please paste code on here of what i need to do.
@the_treeJun 15.2006 — #Lessons? Those were specifications that ol' Charlie linked to, no teching involved.

@slaughtersJun 16.2006 — #Got a question for you Charles.
There is a lot information the w3.org site which is not supported by any web browser.
Do you suggest people follow the recommended rules even though in a lot of cases they will end up with a non-working web page?
Do you just have to "know" what works and what doesn't? How would a new developer know that?
Face it. The W3 site is only semi-useful to a developer. It let's you know what is possible, but not what is practicle. It's a starting point for experienced coders. Not a be all end all for anyone. It's the last place you should send a brand new developer.
@CharlesJun 16.2006 — #The only real poroblem is with MSIE, and everybody figures out pretty fast what it supports and what it does. And to be honest, there is very little that isn't supported broadly at the moment.
And those other resources, they're chock full of errors and omissions. Best to go the the source.
@the_treeJun 16.2006 — #He didn't; you were the one that dismissed Charles' comments (toward Slaughters) on the basis that you using Mozilla Firefox would make MSIEs support for the w3c's standards irelevant, which just isn't true.

@CharlesJun 16.2006 — #Threads often continue past the original problem, the process of learning is never over.[/QUOTE]Douglas Adams wrote a set of books separate from [i]The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy[/i] - less famous but much better. They revolve around one Dirk Gently and his wholistic detective agency. Mr. Gently has an interesting way of navigating when he's lost. He simply picks a promising auto and follows. He never ends up where he was going but he always ends up where he needs to be.
