No one on this planet will ever catch J. I think he must have just made the number up. He can pull strings.

Sorry - no balloons available! Just take my word for it - he is singing to you - something like..."Congratulationsssssssssssssss yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!!!!"


LOL

Looks more like he's singing:

"Polk Salad Annie,
the gator's got your Granny,
Chomp,
Chomp, Chomp"

Sorry paintbrush we seemed to have hijacked your thread :)

Eric I think J's count is a relic from April 1 and yes he can pull big strings.

****the cat meows at J's feet and purrs "SCC Pro ......SCC Pro...." ****

PING !!!!
That's the sound of a light globe lighting up inside a dull mind (mine).

Here I am building my own (simple) CSS blog page using <iframe> when I saw paintbrush's code containing a scrolling <div> - why didn't I use <div> with "overflow:auto" instead of frames?
Some of the simplest solutions tend to escape me, so thanks to paintbrush.

OK I've redone the page http://www.drivingnt.com/blog/zippersblog.html

Re list formatting - I've never liked the way basic lists are rendered, too much line spacing.
Here's a couple of a styles I used in my blog page (direct modification instead of classes because the style is embedded in the page head.
ul {
list-style-type: disc;
list-style-position: outside;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px;
}

li {
margin-top:7px;
}


The "li" mod is so that list items which word-wrap won't have a full line-height between separate items, I think it looks better (keeps the list together but makes the items stand out separately) but that's my opinion, you might not agree.

The 20px left-margin is to indent the bullets to the right, using "position:outside" causes the bullets to sit too far to the left, from memory in FF they actually sit outside the left-border of the list.

If you like to experiment you could try this and adjust the numbers to suit, it's also worth trying "list-style-position: inside" as well to compare.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
