please help! css & browser-compatibility issues galore

1 New Member
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I've never had a page be completely broken like this before.

http://www.student.richmond.edu/~zp8we/streetlaw/

The image file isn't there, because I'm still working things out with the copyright-holder.

On Safari it looks almost fine, except for one problem, that being that the content div doesn't scale the way it should. I'm trying to get it to stretch from the top where it starts down to where the footer bar is. It either overshoots it or is just big enough to hold whatever I put in it. I've looked up a bunch of examples online, and they all do it the same way, which seems to be the way I'm doing it (as far as I can tell).

Second, Firefox won't load the stylesheet. The W3C's CSS validation tool isn't recognizing my style sheet as such, so could this be related? I'm using a Mac but Firefox is on a PC, so could it be a file-encoding thing?

Third, Internet Explorer 7 does basically everything okay but the bar at the bottom won't overlap anything, so it ends up too far down and pushed over to the right so that it doesn't line up with anything. I know IE, even 7, likes to break divs especially, but I'm not sure what to do about it.

I really appreciate any guidance y'all can give me.

You are serving the css file as text/html instead of text/css. That's why the validator ignores it as well as FF.

Well I'll just show you the code and some insert statements it generates. Could anyone please help me?

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: 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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
