ie issues

[dorayme]

How come you did not ignore this post of mine then? But did
ignore a solution to your earlier query about second items which
I took the trouble to give you in good faith? Are you as fair in
your life generally as you appear on this ng?

Can you begin to get a clue now as to how much your continual use of sarcasm
denigrates the value of your advice?

Perhaps you and a few others in this group would benefit from some time with
a psychotherapist to determine the source of these feelings of inadequacy
that necessitate putting someone else down to make yourself feel superior.

You obviously have a good grasp of the subject, so there is no need to
impress us with your ability to tear down someone else. Straight from the
shoulder advice will always be respected, even if it isn't taken. And if it
isn't taken, there is no need for you to feel insulted. After all, you'll
probably not pay any attention to the advice I'm giving you now.

I won't feel insulted if you don't, just disappointed that you have been
unable to temper your knowledge with wisdom.

El [/QUOTE]

El Kabong, you slightly misunderstand me. Notice the "slightly"?
You are right and I am going to take your advice as much as I
can. I want to be wiser in your sense.

In the film As Good As It Gets, Jack Nicholson makes a wonderful
speech towards the end when Helen Hunt asks him to say something
nice (previously, he had been wont to display a particularly
childish selfishness). He says, as disarmingly and as charmingly
as any man could say in such a situation, that she has made him
want to be a better man. What goes for Hollywood leading men also
can apply to Martian visitors to Earth - like me.

But what about a teensy weensy bit of sarcasm now and again? How
can I control myself when I see those geeky expressions the OP
likes to indulge in? Do you realise what a tiger that is to
wrestle with? Alright already, I will try ...

Didn't you recently take some oath not to flame the chronically
stupid?

Slaughter is demonstrably Beyond Clue. His code is crap, it very
obviously doesn't work, but he resists any attempt for anyone to
explain why or suggest solutions. <plonk> a long time ago.

You can lead a horse to water, but that just makes your donkey soggy

Yes, maybe I did at least nod approvingly about the sentiments of
such an oath of this sort. Look, El Kabong does have a bit of a
point. I have been thinking we might get a better deal with a
shrink (they are so expensive these days for individual couching)
if we can arrange a bulk deal with one. Sort of Group Therapy.
You just have to admit that it would be worth the money just to
see JK and some others on chairs in a circle talking about
sarcasm management.

BTW, what I particularly liked in your above link was the pinky
red "Would you like to comment" under the picture of wet donkeys.
I mean, what the hell _could_ anyone say after seeing such a
picture?

 

[dorayme]

Who knows, but by ignoring gross obnoxiocity, one can more closely approach
the karmatic ideal of blissful ignorance.

Boji, you are the one exception I am going to make regarding a
promise I made to El Kabong. Go and see my attempts to help the
OP and tell what was in them that was so obnoxious? Go on! And
don't pick the wrong posts in your usual "Daffy Duck the Logic
Professor" role.

I even made a goddamn discovery for myself about how to target a
second child (the subject of his query). And what does he say?
Here it was on a platter and all he could think of was some
goddamn precious bullshit about the lowlife (that's me, Daffy)
carrying the tray of gold for him. I mean... c'mon!

 

[dorayme]

Oh... cause I forgot to put you on my ignore list... but I didn't forget
this time.

Yes you did, your post here is proof.

 

[dorayme]

hmmm... I have no problems reading it. Maybe its your eyes?

The colours behind the text are arty farty crap, stop the
nonsense and make the background sort of white and be done. Your
remark reveals a bad understanding of these matters. You should
be welcoming Bergamot's information as a valuable indicator, not
dismissing it (what's next, pal, to "ignore file" him because his
vision is different to yours?). The point of your web page is for
others, yes? So what the hell has your eyesight got to do with
the matter.

 

[John Hosking]

Yes blame the users. It couldn't be Jon Slaughter.

The colours behind the text are arty farty crap, stop the
nonsense and make the background sort of white and be done.

That would be reliable only if he set the foreground color to something
dark, like black, which he has also failed to do. As it is now, it's pot
luck, B.Y.O.D.C. [1].

another one bites the dust... I mean ignore list.

Damn... every time I come to alt.html it fills up quick ;/

Pretty soon now, you'll have to answer your own posts.

 

[Jon Slaughter]

Pretty soon now, you'll have to answer your own posts.

Thats fine with me... I don't need that kinda shit you people call "help".
I'd rather not have that kinda "help".

He'll just argue with them, won't he?

 

[Beauregard T. Shagnasty]

There are some fine books in your local library, and just think ... you
won't have to waste any electrons to read them!

 

[Beauregard T. Shagnasty]

Most likely. Do you think he would take his *own* advice?

 

[Blinky the Shark]

This sentence is false.

 

[Chaddy2222]

I think I finished my comments app but now it doesn't work in ie. I
basically used classes for all the divs because the selectors were not
working out(would work inline but when moved into a class and used selectors
it wouldn't work 1/2 the time(probably selecting wrong element but to much
of a hassle)).

http://www.abstractdissonance.com/PageComments.php

Anyways, I assume it has something to do with ie but maybe I'm missing
something... (maybe take a glance at the css. The div stuff should be ok
cause like I said, it worked fine until I moved all the inline into classes.

Also looking for comments in general to improve it.

Thanks,
Jon

Well, the fact that your HTML dos not even validate means that you are
throwing UA's into quirks mode, which is a bit of a gray area for
makeing stuff work correctly. Run your page through http://validator.w3.org
and fix all the errors. Then if you still have problems come back here
and ask for help.

No, validation has nothing to do with it. Going to Quirks Mode is based on
"DOCTYPE sniffing", which means looking for a string of particular kind at
the start of a document. If there is no such string, or it does not match
one of very specific patterns, then Quirks Mode, here we come.

For a document that does not specify any document type, there's even no
concept of validation. You can still use a validator so that you tell it to
imply a document type declaration, but that means validating a document
different from your actual document. And even then, the result of validation
has no impact on the choice of Quirks vs. "Standards" Mode.

....And the volcano said to the dragon, "Spitting a little fire now and
then don't matter."

If geeky expressions make you lose control, I wonder how you react to a
decent line?

But what about if the document in question has a full document type
(which has the URL) but the document still has errors. Would a
standards conforming browser not pass the HTML and notice it has
errors and render it accordingly. I always thaught that the web
browser would try and correct the rendering of a document if it had
errors.

Does that make me exceptional in general or only for the purposes of this
excuse?

Well, the first post of yours I see in _this_ thread is:

= Do you just blabber on without noticing anything that is said to
= you?

In the previous related thread, you did seem to be making an earnest
attempt at helping the OP. Apparently, however, when the OP didn't respond
to your altruism, you got a bug up your dufus and squawked in a manner
which historically has given women a bad name.

For shame, dorayme! For shame!

 

[dorayme]

I never lost control. And it was not just the geek, it was the
pretentious tendencious geekseudo that gets me going. About the
line business, you are not going to get all Luigi-like now are
you?

Actually thats not the first time so ignoring him wasn't my fault. He wants
to bitch about me not listening to me(which tells you something about him
and what he's really doing here(which isn't helping/answering questions))
but yet it all started a few months ago for reasons that I don't even
remember(either I noted his attitude when replying to me or to others). In
any case, I don't need his kinda "help" and rather figure the stuff out on
my own.
