34 1,649 And things were going so well.... thread by: Colin Peters \| last post Apr 19 '06 by: Tony http://www.wils.ch/News.aspx In FF all looks good. At least all looks as I expected, bearing in mind my limited graphic talent. But IE doesn't even show half the stuff. Until you CTRL-A then ESC. Oh, it's in the source alright, but IE doesn't want to render it straightaway. It has to be nudged into it. Scrolling up and down does the trick... HTML / CSS

Flavell Hi, I fully understand the purpose of an alt attribute within a <img> tag but why would you use a title or summary attribute within, for example, a <p> tag.

I want a "FAQ" page on a web site, I hate those pages that scroll you to the answer so and I figured that a good way to do it would be to have hidden content under each question, something like this : What is the first letter of the alphabet?

33 2,388 Pixel Specific Layout thread by: Dave (DreamIsle) \| last post Jul 10 '06 by: Markus Ernst Hello. I'm working on a layout that I need to be pixel specific. How can I get the font to stay precisely the height I need? Specifying line-height or font-size in px doesn't yield the results I need. The font size scales when I change the browser's font size and the text moves from where I need it. HTML / CSS
