As max-width isn't a greatly supported CSS rule yet it's not that easy for a designer to accomodate for it. Fixed width will invariably be the wrong width for somebody whereas a liquid layout can be made whatever size you want. Whilst I'm all for making things easy for the end user, if they...

Er, you don't have to maximise your browser window, Just because you have a 1200 wide screen (or whatever) doesn't mean your browser window need be so big does it? If you think a liquid site's text is too wide then make it smaller - you have the power.

Off-topic comment: IRIS Indigo Workstations - that takes me back. I used to use one myself a few years back. It was pretty decent and I think I'd rather go back to that than the PC I now use at work (grrr!). On-topic comment: I'm hoping that at some point all these SCO claims actually get...

Yep, I agree with uoba - get Zeldman's book. Another useful resource is... http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=FrontPage Sorry Trip - didn't mean to be harsh, just wanted to point some stuff out so you could keep moving in the right direction.

Trip, I think you may have become too carried away with getting your code to validate. Sure it might validate now but to be honest that isn't good code on the link you provide. I don't mean to have a go at you so please don't take this the wrong way. Your code may technically validate but...

Question for you all... Do you have any first hand experience of screen readers (and similar technologies) and if so how well have your sites done with them? It would be interesting to know how old style HTML sites (as racerX is talking about) do compared with newer xhmtl/css sites. I read...

It's not just the actual uploading of the pages - there's more to it than that. I want all of the following.... Version control (very important!) Multi-user support and Distrbuted editing Upload/Download (via ftp, webdav, whatever) with ability to use stuff like staging servers etc...

http://www.apple.com/creative/webpro/technology/webdav/ And the just released 10.3.1 update mentions webdav as being one of the parts that is updated!

We use webdav basically as a replacement for FTP. It can probably do other clever stuff but we simply use it to 'put' and 'get' files. Which reminds me, if I recall correctly then OS X supports webdav directly in the finder. Haven't tried it for ages, might have to give it another go - or am...

I've been thinking similar thoughts recently. I used to use DW on my Mac back at version 2 and 3. I still use it at work on PC (ugh!) where we are lingering on MX at the moment. I now use BBEdit at home as I'm XHTML/CSS all the way so don't really use the DW WYSIWYG stuff much anymore. Whilst my...

Aha - spooky - we both posted at the same time! Yep - that's what I did.

Erm, I'm not at my Mac right now (pesky Work PC) but I had the same issue the other day in TextEdit and managed to change it. I think there was an option in the spelling window thingie (either from a right click or via one of the main menu items) to use a British English dictionary (is that...

Good luck! I got a few O'Reilly books a while ago and never looked back! Are you learning this for fun or profit (or both!) ?

Er, just untick all the tick boxes so it won't speak anything. I'm using Panther and this is under the 'Spoken User Interface' tab of the 'Speech' section of the system preferences application. It might be slightly different on an older version - can't remember. This is what you mean, yes?

Er, do you mean... System Preferences > Speech Then change or turn off the talking alerts.

Man, I'm rubbish at Chess - my Mac always beats me with out breaking into a sweat!

To login to the admin and manager contexts you need to add yourself to the users/xml file with the appropriate roles - you can then select your own username and password (whatever you put in the xml) The file is called tomcat-users.xml in the conf directory. Is this what you mean?

Just spotted this myself. I've been manually installing tomcat in the past for doing my little web dev projects. I see jboss uses tomcat (yeah?). Is it worth me changing to jboss? Opinions, comments?

I stand corrected!

Ugh - that looks real ugly. Like some old program that they just got running on Panther and not much else! Not surprised it's not in the final version!
