Trying to recreate a page layout

I'm putting together a page layout, and I'm getting frustrated trying
to recreate a setup that I had made before, but forgotten exactly how.

The page is a table with two columns; the left is a fixed-width column
that acts as the page's sidebar, while the right column contains the
main text of the page.

The tricky part is that inside the right column is another table, 1x1,
that's aligned to the bottom right of the table cell, such that the
text flows around it. It was meant to be a short block of text at the
end of the front page's text, that introduced the reader to the latest
blog entries.

I can't seem to get the arrangement of the elements right. The text
either refuses to flow, or it flows but the 1x1 table won't move from
the upper right of the cell.

The last time I had done it, I used some combination of putting the
table inside a DIV and then adding a single CSS style tag, "bottom:
100%", while making sure the table was aligned to the right. Maybe
another element, of making sure the table and table cell widths were
set, or not set in a certain way? At any rate, I'm stumped.

Thanks,
-Sean Givan

Hi, I seem to having a peculiar problem with the display of odd and even pages in XSL-FO. Here is a small background of the problem. My xsl stylesheet mentions my fo:layout-master-set as <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master margin-left="0.5in" margin-right="0.5in" page-width="8.5in" margin-bottom="0.5in" master-name="Section-odd-page" margin-top="0.5in" page-height="14in"> <fo:region-after region-name="xsl-region-after-odd"

Hi, I am trying to position 2 columns of links so that the first is at the left of the page and the second is at the right. The lines in each column should be left-justified. I have managed to achieve this by using 'nowrap' for each links column and adding a middle column with 'width=100%'. However, this seems a bit fragile as it is dependent on the resolving the layout conflict. If the percentage width attribute has a lower weight...

I'm just getting started with ASP.NET in Visual Studio 2005. The last web work I did involved ASP 3.0 in FrontPage. I've been through the MSDN tutorials on creating web pages, but not of them seem to cover real-world page layout. In the ASP era, I used tables to provide a structure for a page, then coded HTML controls within the grid. So, my first question is: Are pages laid out the same way in ASP.NET--start with a table and add...

I want to test to see if I am on the last page of a document. In this example it is an invoice. I want to print a different table in REGION AFTER when I am on the last page. I have tried many variations, no luck yet. It seems like it should be an easy thing to do with xsl:choose. Any ideas? Here is one of my attempts. More detail of what the xml, xsl and pdf look like are here: http://www.bangboompow.com/xml/invoice/

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
