CSS Image/Text Alignment Question

I ended up using div tags with the clear attribute around the image and text and used a float left on the images. That worked.

CSS Image/Text Alignment Question

That kind of looks right, but while I want the images to stay on top of each other, there is a set of text for each image that I want to start to the right of each corresponding image. For lack of a better explanation, if you used a two column table with images on the left, the corresponding...

CSS Image/Text Alignment Question

It's been a long time since I've had to write HTML for anything, and half the tag attributes I used to use are no longer supposed to be used. How do I do the following? How do I do this? If the text is too short, the next image doesn't display under the rest of the images like a single...

Double Click Backup

I want to provide a way for my parents to back up their laptops onto a portable hard drive or memory stick. There are a couple issues with this. 1. The backup media won't always be plugged in so they will have to initiate the backup. I'm looking for something simple and shortcutable into an...

File Launcher for Windows

Yeah, it would work well for launching unique named items like applications, but a lot of my folders and files have similar names. RunMe works well for that.

File Launcher for Windows

I thought about that. I have quite a few folders I need to open actually, and I need to recognize them by text. That's going to get quite bulky, which is why I like the minimize to a tab method with just the name on the tab. That is my best option at this point though.

File Launcher for Windows

It doesn't stay on top of things. Having to hit Windows D to get down to it and not having the windows come back up isn't much help unfortunately. That is why I was looking for something that stays on top but minimizes down to a tab to the side.

Create Custom Shapes for OpenOffice Draw

I did a bunch of searches and I could not figure out how to make custom shapes for Draw. Does anyone have a tutorial they know about? I don't need much. I just want to make valving diagrams with shapes that could be drawn in MS Paint for all I care. Any help would be appreciated.

Legal to Search Employee Digital Files

I will definitely consult a lawyer on this for any real application, but I was just curious if anyone knew off the top of their head. What about checking someone's work email? I would assume that since the domain is owned by the company, the same rules would apply.

Building my first Linux Box. Need some help deciding.

This box is going to run MythTV and also work as a backup fileserver. So, I've narrowed down my selection of Linux choices to Gentoo or Ubuntu. I believe both of these have a package system that allows grabbing of dependencies as well. I'm leaning toward Ubuntu, because I think it's got more...

Is there a protocol for writing the style sheet? Like do all generic styles go up top and then you go in order of how the elements appear, left to right and top to bottom, like reading? I'm looking at pages and some of them seem to be a free for all.
