Fighting NN4, filling some content, discovered MM2 shortcoming

  • 13:45 Email/newsgroups
  • Moved NN4 page resize fix into separate .js file
  • Noticed the Email button at the top doesn't show up in NN4
  • The position style seems to be the problem
  • http://www.quirksmode.org/js/layerwrite.html has an example of how to write to a layer in NN4. But I've decided to just punt. This is a support email address, and as I understand it, spammer bots filter out webmaster, support, and similar email addresses. So I'm just going to put this up there and hope that it doesn't get harvested. Interestingly, though, my content layer uses a position style and the script is working fine, there. Oh, well.
  • Read up a little on the difference between an id and a class. Obvious, once I saw it spelled out for me. This page http://www.codestyle.org/css/Glossary.shtml gave me what I needed. In particular, look at the difference between a selector and a class.
  • Gonna type in kudos. Do we want to do some as images of handwritten text? Different text styles?
  • Arrgh! Dreamweaver just crashed on me. Only cost me about five minutes of work, but grr anyway.
  • Done. And went over it checking spelling.
  • Sent email to dad
  • 20:00 Checked everything in
  • Watched the Stars lose :-(
  • Checked colors on CRTs, and they look fine
  • 22:30 Looking for a page to pour in
  • Ended up looking at whether I can still use MM2 to reorder or move the buttons. I think I figured out why the buttons got reordered. It was because I renamed them. That's why it looked random the first time. They were probably in alphabetical order. Then, after saving it, it renamed them back with numbers. It's not going to let me use MM2 to rearrange them unless I rename the triggers, too. I might do that first thing tomorrow
  • Also need to think about redoing the logo to fill its rect
  • Wasted some time looking at CSS Zengardens. Now that I know more about CSS it's even more impressive.
  • Out 12:30
  • Idea: Do we need a News page? Maybe even two, a Company News page and a What's New for the website? Maybe a schedule of upcoming presentations and/or other functions someone will be attending?
