11/28 With HTML, I don't like how text runs from the left edge to the right edge
of the browser window. Without using a table with a width that's some
percentage of the screen, how can I let there be a (empty) margin on
both sides of the text? It's easier to read this way. Thanks.
\_ use <div> ... </div> tags to surround the text and use CSS to
specify the location and width of that region. you also could use
CSS to specify margins for the <body> tag, but that will apply
to everything, not just text.
\_ Wow, for a second I saw <booty> rather than <body>. I was trying
to figure out what the hell the <booty> tag did, and when it
got added to the spec....
\_ you're totally right. use css:
body { padding-left: 10%; padding-right: 10%; }
\_ hey that's awesome. now is there a way to fill up that empty
10% on the left side with a solid bar of color, or some
sort of vertically-oriented image?
\_ make another div, set the width to 10% and set the
background-color: orange;
\_ something like
body { padding-left: 10%; padding-right: 10%;
background: orange url(./img.jpg) no-repeat top left;
} might work, experiment. See http://www.csszengarden.com
\_ use css but make sure you test on whatever browsers you want to use.
IE 5 fucks some stuff up, so I test against IE5 and Firebird (which
is pretty similar to IE6 in terms of rendering CSS... but better)
\_ Cool, thanks everyone. -op |

11/29 http://www.nytimes.com/2003/11/29/business/29RENT.html?pagewanted=2&hp "Apartment Glut Forces Owners to Cut Rents in Much of U.S." According to the article, Bay Area rents have fallen more than 20 percent over the last three years, more than anywhere else. Is that true? \_ http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2003/11/29/BUGHE3CDHN1.DTL SF rents up as vacancies go down. \_ That's commercial property though, not residential. \_ But yes, rents have fell through the floor in SF. Not as much as they should, though - there is a huge glut of really bad apartments on the market, and many landlords still seem to think its 1998 and are overpricing them. Thus there are a lot of properties just sitting empty, because you can always find a better deal. |

11/29 What linux command shows the current RW or RO status of a partition.
on my debian server, mount shows these same partitions as the same:
/dev/hda2 on /home type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/hda3 on /sto type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
but /dev/hda3 has some disk error and is now read only. thanks. |
