[04:10] <byfixar> it's like:

[04:16] * byfixar is now known as fakey07
[04:26] <webben> fakey07, what's "View"?
[04:27] <webben> and what's "Show source" for that matter?
[04:27] <Fuzzy76> ha went away
[04:27] <Fuzzy76> he even
[04:27] <webben> Fuzzy76, I think he just changed his nick
[04:28] <Fuzzy76> Yes, but in addition, he went to school :p
[04:30] <webben> ah
[04:39] <tiremeal> hey people. whats the 'opposite' to colspan? I mean, I have a table, but o
[04:46] <webben> tiremeal, I think there isn't one. Are you sure you're not misusing tables f
[04:47] <Fuzzy76> what you need to accomplish that is colspan="2" on all the other td's in th
[04:47] <Fuzzy76> but webben is right
[04:49] <tiremeal> well, i already have a table set... it have two fileds on different rows t
[04:49] <tiremeal> s/fileds/fields
[04:49] <tiremeal> yes, i thought of putting colspan=2 on every other.... just wanted to chec
[04:50] <webben> tiremeal, If the columns are real data columns probably best to duplicate th
[04:50] <webben> for reasons of easier accessibility and machine readability
[04:53] <tiremeal> hm no, its a bunch of controls for inputing data, in this case, radio butt
[04:53] <webben> tiremeal, So why do you need to merge two columns?
[04:53] <tiremeal> hm.. the colspan="2" in all other columns if a putrid solution, i dont hav
[04:54] <tiremeal> well, i paste the portion of code somewhere, I bet you guys will have a be
[04:54] <tiremeal> the damn designer aint here but we have to deliver this shit today
[04:54] <tiremeal> i should be doing it :(
[04:54] <tiremeal> shouldNT*
[04:58] <tiremeal> hm, pastebin.com is slow as hell, but this should do:
[04:58] <tiremeal> http://rafb.net/p/vyEdGM48.html
[04:59] <webben> tiremeal, that's not how to use label
[05:00] <webben> tiremeal, one label per control
[05:00] <webben> tiremeal, for radio buttons give each input a label
[05:00] <webben> then give the group of buttons a fieldset and legend if you can
[05:00] <webben> also, because user agents suck, you need to avoid relying on nesting
[05:01] <tiremeal> wow. first, one label per control, let me do it
[05:01] <webben> use <label for="last-name">Last name<input id="last-name"> etc
[05:02] <webben> as far as I can see, you could just put a class on the TR rather than a clas
[05:02] <webben> <b>Aparelho de Solda</b> => <fieldset><legend>Apa
[05:03] <webben> http://www-03.ibm.com/able/guidelines/web/webforms.html is a useful guide to
[05:06] <tiremeal> oh.. this fieldset/legend stuff looks quite nicer
[05:08] <webben> HTML has some nice form semantics. They're just a bit tricky to style.
[05:09] <webben> opps that example should have been <label for="last-name">Last name<
[05:13] <tiremeal> yes, i already changed it... the label gone to the wrong side :p
[05:13] <tiremeal> well, now the code looks much better, but still, i need to put the two gro
[05:13] <tiremeal> http://pastebin.com/867819
[05:13] <webben> yeah you can do <input><label></label> too
[05:14] <tiremeal> how can I make the two fieldsets go side by side, instead of the second go
[05:17] <tiremeal> WOW! I just put a style=float:left on the first fieldset, and it gave me t
[05:17] <tiremeal> its okay to use this?
[05:20] <DRPONIUS> hey girl wut kinda dongs u into
[05:26] <tiremeal> well, after all, the correct values are being stored in my precious databa
[05:27] <tiremeal> thanks a lot, webben
[05:27] <tiremeal> :]

[06:25] <DEMONFiST> Hey guys, i think there is a problem with the masking on my website
[06:26] <E-Draven> http://www.toolsforselling.com/v1/2/shtmview.htm
[06:26] <E-Draven> nevermind :)
[06:26] <DEMONFiST> if i create a directory on the webserver httpd/htdocs/test , when i go to
[06:26] <DEMONFiST> if i browse the webserver accross the lan it works fine tho
[06:26] <DEMONFiST> any ideas ?
[06:27] <DEMONFiST> and also not having www before my domain name wont work
[06:27] <DEMONFiST> like usually just doing http:// would take you to the same place as if yo
[06:27] <DRPONIUS> DONGS
[06:28] <DEMONFiST> This is annoying becuase i put files on the webserver for download and no
[06:28] <DEMONFiST> becuase it says the page cant be found
[06:29] <[Cartman]> can anyone tell me why images and font is blurry in a 1024x resolution ?

[07:52] <FishBulb> anyone know how to put two fieldsets side-by-side like this? http://www.we
[07:54] <Arrakis> float and width?
[07:57] <FishBulb> yeah, float worked. thanks.
[08:07] <timtux> float, div, width
[08:07] <timtux> :D

[08:48] <Darn> what code can I put into my page ti disable a browsers popup blocker?
[08:50] <quisling> hahha
[08:50] <quisling> you can't.
[08:50] <quisling> that's the whole point.
[08:51] <quisling> popup blockers block popups which don't result from a user's actions.
[08:51] <quisling> so if the user clicks on a link which opens a popup, the blocker shouldn't
[08:52] <quisling> but you can't disable a popup blocker via some code in your webpage.
[09:08] <estes> i have a table which contains data such as fname, lname, address, zip each in
[09:09] <quisling-> that's not valid.
[09:09] <quisling-> you can put an onclick event on the tr, I think.
[09:10] <estes> i dont want to put seperate <a href> on each text in that row
[09:10] <estes> do i have to?
[09:11] <estes> it works as a link but just not nice looking
[09:11] <quisling-> <table>
[09:11] <quisling-> <tr onclick="alert();" onmouseover="this.style.cursor = 'hand';">
[09:11] <quisling-> <td>test</td>
[09:11] <quisling-> </tr>
[09:11] <quisling-> </table>
[09:12] <quisling-> just change the onclick to whatever you need, like document.location.href
[09:12] <estes> ahhh and if i want the text to be blue and then have an underline when the mo
[09:13] <quisling-> use CSS
[09:13] <estes> i got yah
[09:13] <twentynin> howdy... anyone have any idea why this RSS feed would not be showing up a
[09:13] <estes> im gonan give that a shot..thanks for the help ;]
[09:15] <quisling-> http://rafb.net/p/Pw273s45.html
[09:15] <quisling-> ^ estes there's a working example
[09:17] <estes> excellent..thanks quisling ;]
[09:18] <Slade> hey could someone name a decent storefront package or two written in asp or a
[10:14] <bavarian> anyone know a way of having target="_parent" work with all links without h
[10:14] <quisling> why would you need to link to the parent? are you using frames or somethin
[10:15] <bavarian> ya, iframe
[10:15] <quisling> why?
[10:15] <bavarian> I wasn't given access to any sort of scripting or anything
[10:15] <quisling> so get a better host.
[10:16] <Darn> I found some javascript to disable popup blockers
[10:16] <Darn> I just need to test it with all of them
[10:16] <quisling> darn, oh let's see it.
[10:16] <bavarian> it's not up to me
[10:16] <Darn> let me see if it works and I'll post it

[10:18] * brainy` is now known as Lynx`
[10:25] <quisling> darn, and?
[10:30] <Darn> well it works on ie7;s block and firefox, installing the google one now
[10:31] <quisling> so paste the code.
[10:31] <quisling> http://rafb.net/paste/ < go paste your code
[10:35] <falz> is there a simple way to use an <a href> but make it be a POST? must one
[10:35] <falz> *OR* a way to get a form button to open in a new window, since that's the desi
[10:35] <falz> without javascript if possible (I'm assuming it's required)
[10:35] <quisling> falz, did you try adding target="_blank" into your form?
[10:36] <falz> heh nope, I always assumed that didn't work on forms. I suppose I can try it,
[10:36] <quisling> darn, well? where's this magic code?
[10:39] <Darn> I'm not sure it should be openly released
[10:39] <Darn> I don't want my competitors to be able to do the same thing
[10:39] <falz> heh what do ya know, it works (in firefox at least)
[10:39] <quisling> bwhahaa you're so full of shit.
[10:39] <falz> the last time I tried that was like ie3, and it didn't work, so I hadn't re-ex
[10:39] <Darn> I'll publish the site and let you visit it
[10:39] <quisling> oh, please do.
[10:40] <quisling> why not just paste the code?
[10:40] <quisling> http://rafb.net/paste/ < go paste your code
[10:40] <falz> what about the other option? do an HTTP POST via an <href> or some other
[10:41] <quisling> falz, why don't you just style a form submit button to look like a regular
[10:42] <falz> I suppose that's possible. I haven't done much css goodness, but if that can a
[10:42] <quisling> <input type="submit" style="background:none; text-decoration:underline;
[10:43] <falz> sorta, still have the 3-d border
[10:43] <quisling> border:none;
[10:44] <falz> that should do
[10:44] <falz> I guess I don't care if i can still see it being clicked :)
[10:44] <falz> one would assume that that works "target" in <form> works in IE as well?
[10:45] <falz> http://falz.net/form.html
