Fighting CSS

• In 15:00
• Started to build toy page for this CSS question. Last night I had played with using a table but couldn't find how to get rid of the borders around each cell, so it looked double-bordered. Finally found the cell padding and cell spacing fields in the table properties. This works Good Enough to just leave it, methinks.
• One oddity is that Dreamweaver doesn't render it properly. But it looks good in the browser, so I'll live with it.
• Spoke too soon. IE and Opera put text to the right of the table, even though the table is 100%. Grr
• Near-perfect timing, someone on the newsgroup asked about search solutions and got a response with three. Got them bookmarked
  • WebAssist Products :: WA QueryBuilder Overview
  • Home :: QuB (Query Builder) - Visual Recordset Editor for Dreamweaver MX and MX 2004
  • Dreamweaver Team
• Got Desktop Publishing finished except for those bulleted items. No response from the newsgroup, yet
• Gonna work on customer authentication
• Don't really like what I'm seeing, so far. The authentication built into Apache sends the password unencrypted. We don't have really sensitive data, like credit cards. But I'd still prefer it didn't do that.

  Also, the password file has to be maintained by hand. I guess I could write a PHP script to do that

• mod_auth_pam is mildly interesting. But I can't test it on powweb.
• Prolly gonna keep session cookies? I don't think the stock Apache authorization keeps track of that itself?
