[11:10] <lhabia> Hi, I have to display a recurring tree [files / folder] using div or table.
[11:11] <TBF> Sounds like an excellent case for UL usage.
[11:11] <TBF> The nesting will give you your desired grouping and default gutter spacing, and
[11:12] <lhabia> so you would suggest <ul> and <li> ?
[11:12] <TBF> Yes, I would recommend using HTML elements for their semantics. This is one of
[11:13] <lhabia> thank you, this will guide my research
[11:13] <TBF> If you code in PHP or Perl, you will have a easy time via Smarty or TT2 to abst
[11:13] <lhabia> Not using any of them
[11:14] <TBF> Ok
[11:14] <lhabia> Thank you TBF for your time
[11:14] <TBF> That's fine, you may also find #CSS helpful
[11:48] <VelcroMan> Hi, i want to change the cursor in a frame. I have tried both CSS and Jav
[11:57] <TBF> I guess W3C need to understand that naming the cursor property "cursor:" is a b
[11:57] <TBF> People like VelcroMan can't seem to locate it :(
[12:02] <Arrakis> lolz
[12:02] <Arrakis> omg sur what css proiperty

[13:00] <du_> my radio buttons are not working right, they are selecting multiple ones, the d
[13:00] <TBF> That's because you didn't "group" them, you must name each radio button the the

[14:56] <director|> evening everyone
[14:56] <director|> anyone doing well with freelancing, or design services lately?
[14:57] <director|> as in consistent enough work
[15:31] <Jagg1> a computer name from html? lol (topic)
[15:32] <Jagg1> that's cute.
[15:36] <Jagg1> I have a page with a left-right centered <div>, because an image is in
[15:36] <Jagg1> (but it's the background image)
[15:36] <Jagg1> now I'm having a problem positioning another div in the right place
[15:37] <Jagg1> I'd basically want absolute-positioning, but the upper-left-corner should not
[15:39] <TBF> The LOL part is that it's possible to get the computer name
[15:39] <TBF> Both via Java and VBS / ActiveX pairing
[15:41] <TBF> Place the parent container into position: relative; and the child via absolute.
[15:41] <TBF> That'll get you the odd ultra specific control you want
[15:44] <Jagg1> I figured it might be possible in some way (first thinking JS), but I didn't
[15:45] <Jagg1> ohh.. child absolute goes not from the page, but the container?! why, that w
[15:47] <Jagg1> and for a while I was marvelling at what seemed to be well-thought-out capabi
[15:50] <Jagg1> I also made the background too big, at 1024
[15:51] <Jagg1> :/
[15:51] <Jagg1> I didn't have too much liberty in the way I wanted to do the design..
[16:16] <Jagg1> why is centering something so difficult...
[16:19] <Jagg1> I think I got it. I'm not new at this either -- just haven't done much with
[16:19] <Jagg1> and css :}
[16:27] <director|> anyone know a designer named Gavin? he used to chat in a long time ago
[16:59] <Jagg2> my div is not taking the position from the containing div .. I'm not sure why
[17:00] <Jagg2> <div style="text-align: center; border: 2px solid black; padding: 5px; wid
[17:02] <Jagg2> the idea is to place some graphics as background images behind the content, b
[17:03] <Jagg2> actually the border and padding shouldn't be there
[17:04] <Jagg2> but nevertheless, the inner div is taking the top/left:0 as if it were relati
[17:06] <Jagg2> I didn't use "px" on them, but fixing it doesn't seem to matter. :)
[17:43] <techrush> any of you guys use aptana ?

[18:32] <Jagg2> The "M.T.O. Sufi Association" is supposed to be WITHIN the other div, and the
[18:33] <Jagg2> I think the "width:100%" thing is breaking it.. and I thought position:absolu
