Haven't tried it, Rob. As a programmer, I try to keep all the browser
add-ons off of my machines. They often confuse debugging issues. I try to
keep my dev machines as generic as possible.

Hve you tried Google desktop search yet?...I'm gonna soon, but this machine
is giving me heartburn right now so not gonna put anything else on it for

| Good to know, and thanks Rob! You can also use Google as a calculator!

| | | Hi Bob,
| |
| | Well, here's the problem:

| | > that I

| | > talk. I only know to add a cell on the main page and stretch it out

hahahha
| |
| | Okay, you don't know any HTML "programming" (HTML is not programming,
but
| | layout markup). But you want to manipulate your HTML in a custom way,
| | according to your idea of how it should look and behave. So, guess what?
| | You're going to have to learn something about HTML to do so
successfully.
| |
| | As you've noticed, different machines and browsers and display settings
| can
| | make the same HTML look quite different. This is one of the biggest
| | challenges to web developers. Now, FrontPage can indeed build your HTML
| for
| | you, but Microsoft didn't invent the Internet (as we all know, Al Gore
| did),
| | and they didn't invent HTML. HTML is very flexible and configurable, and
| can
| | do all kinds of things. But when you let FrontPage write your HTML for
you
| | (which is what it does when you don't know anything about HTML), it
makes
| | all of your decisions for you about how the pages will look and behave.
| |
| | Now, FrontPage can be more flexible than that, but it requires more
| | knowledge on your part. FrontPage has many tools to enable you to be
very
| | productive in writing HTML, but that's like saying that a good tool box
| has
| | lots of tools to build houses with. If you know very little about how to
| | build houses, all the tools in the world aren't going to make you a
| | carpenter. You have to know what you need, and how to use the tools.
| |
| | So, you're going to have to do some work and learn something. That's
| | actually a good thing. And you have a great learning tool to work with,
| | namely FrontPage. I used it to learn HTML initially. After all, if you
use
| a
| | tool in FrontPage to do something, you can go straight into the Code
view
| to
| | see what HTML is used to do it. Believe me, HTML is nothing to be afraid
| of.
| | As I said, it's just markup, not programming. Now, programming, there's
a
| | daunting skill! ;-)
| |
| | You also have another great tool to learn with: Your browser. My home
page
| | is
www.google.com. I visit it almost every day, and I've been
programming
| | for more than a decade now. I'm getting to be an old dog now, but I
still
| | learn new tricks every day!
| |
| | So, in conclusion, when someone gives you an answer "in HTML talk," do
| what
| | my mother told me to do when someone used a word I didn't understand.
She
| | told me to look it up in the dictionary. Nowadays, I use
|
www.dictionary.com,
| | and I'm still learning new words too! So, when you hear an HTML term you
| | don't understand, learn what it means. You can always ask here.
