Hello,
I have versified text in a table, where each table row contains a
verse. Like :
Verse 1
Verse 2
Verse 3
Verse 4
I want to "drop cap" using CSS the first letter of Verse 1. Like :
| | erse 1
| | Verse 2
Verse 3
Verse 4
Any suggestions?
I don't think it can be done by splitting the rows in two columns. The
reason is that I cannot know how many rows the drop cap requires,
because I only use relative font size in my page. The only solution I
see is if the drop cap is an image. Like an image of the letter "V". In
that case, I need the image to automatically push right the text. The
problem is that the text is in multiple rows, so the image needs to be
floating over the table. I don't know if that's possible.

Completely ignoring the highly dubious use of a table...
Any suggestions?
<td rowspan="2">.

If the text size is relative, the drop cap sizes at the same scale as
the rest of the text. So why would its height be unknown?

Take it out of the table and it's simple:
CSS:
P.FirstStanza:f irst-letter {font-size: 180%; float: left;}
HTML:
<p class="FirstSta nza">
Twas brillig, and the slithy toves<br>
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:<br>
All mimsy were the borogoves,<br>
And the mome raths outgrabe.<br>
</p>

Well, it can, but why do it that way? Lines of poetry don't sound
too tabular to me.

If you make the drop cap 200%, it'll take up two rows.
The only solution I see is if the drop cap is an image. Like an image of the letter "V".
This is backwards. The image won't resize with the text, which means
that, if you use it, you won't know how many rows it requires.
In that case, I need the image to automatically push right the text.
Just float the image to the left.
The problem is that the text is in multiple rows,
The real problem is that the text is in a table in the first place.

Hello,
I'm just returning to MS SQL Server after two years of dealing with
Sybase ASE. I need to drop a column, using the alter table command.
I keep getting an error indicating that a constraint is using the
column. Here is the create script for the table
create table mytable
(col1 char(1) not null,
col2 char(1) default 'A' not null
)

Just a quicky about temporarary tables. If using QA, when you create a
temporary table, it gets dropped if you close the query. Otherwise you
need to state 'DROP TABLE myTable' so that you can re-run the query
without the table being there.
Sometimes, you can have quite lengthy SQL statements (in a series)
with various drop table sections...

Hi,
As I do not have IE7 on my computer, I was wondering if there is a
fault in my CSS Menu when using IE7.
Please can someone look at my site - http://www.worldofmonopoly.co.uk
and tell me if it works, and if it does not, tell me why it does not
work.
Thanks.
