The following style sheet for creating drop caps works fine in Safari,
Opera, Omniweb and Explorer, the drop caps extend over 3 lines. Only in
Firefox it doesn't look as it should, they extend over nearly 4 lines
(under Mac OS X). With Firefox under Windows, they extend over 3 lines
but are shifted too high.
Any idea/solution?
Thanks

Hello Group,
I am developing a web site using CSS. I have a div that has a vert
scroll bar in it. The div works just fine (scroll up and down, etc).
I have regular text (using <ptags) in the div, as well as an
unordered list - with 3 or 4 list items. The display of text in the
scroller div is just fine in firefox.
When I look at the same page using IE 6 - my li text is larger (font
size) than the text in the <ptags.

At work, we have access to only two browsers, IE 6.0 and Firefox 2.0, so these are the only two browsers I can test the site in, and they're the only ones that...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
