The case of the vanishing List items

https://testbed.odysseyshipping.com/

1. If you do a "View Source", you'll see that there are 4 unordered
lists in the footer yet they are not displaying in the browser
(Firefox or IE). Why?

2. Once I do manage to fire out the above, you can see that two middle
borders do not extend the same depth as the first or fourth. This
must be related to the fact that the first and fourth list have two
items each while the second and third only have one item. But my CSS
has the border in each outer DIV. So why is this happening?

CSS as follows:
----------------------
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size: small;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
color: #000000;
}

#wrapper {
margin: 5px;
padding: 0;
background-color: white;

What would you expect white text on a white background to look like?

The inside of a ping-pong ball.

They don't appear in my browser because they are commented out. Perhaps
I've been overtaken by events.

You've got to be kidding, I've been overtaken by events ever since some
time in the 1950's :-)

Hi, I was asked at the tech screening what the linked list was which I answered with "academic" definition. Then a guy asked me how I would implement a linked list in C# and what would be a good case for linked list. I could not think of any .NET class that implement true linked list (I don't think there is any). But, I guess one could implement their own linked list. I couldn't think of a good case when it would be absolutely necessary...

There is a repeating issue of controls vanishing from a form in the Dev environment which is starting to get annoying. What happens is that I will have a form open in the IDE.

If the control vanishes completely, it may still show up when...

My unhandled exceptions seem to just vanish. If I put the line: int x = int.Parse("XXX"); in (which generates an exception, obviously) then the code that's executing just vanishes, leaving me back at the form (which carries on working). If I deliberately catch an error, I catch it just fine. Stepping through it line by line, it runs to the exception generating line, and then just doesn't execute anything beyond that line. I've...

I've got a datagrid with some nested controls, created at design-time. The controls themselves have no databound values. After a few other operations on the page (selecting a few parameters, etc), a button is clicked and the databind occurs. This part works fine. It retreives the 4-10 rows it needs and using the itemdatabound formats everything nicely. What I intend to do then, is after the user has gone through the nested controls...

I've used Access for many years. Several times, I've encountered a bug which I refer to as the "Vanishing Joins" bug. When it happens, joins vanish randomly from queries. More specifically, all joins vanish from at least one (seemingly random) query. I've always regarded the Vanishing Joins bug as a symptom of corruption. When it happens, I usually give my users advice on how to recover from corruption, and how to avoid it in the future....

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,...
