If a speech reader were to read the page, it would have to spell out the
planets. You could use an aural CSS to solve that dilemma, however.
Another problem I see is spider indexing.

Thanks. I'll have to look into that.
I have only just introduced a print
stylesheet, so new it is not even
validated yet..
[ oops, did I say that? ;-) ]

Oh, yeah, the proverbial 'gonna'..
I am gonna replace the less than
helpful "" alt texts of the image bars
to "label - value" (on the suggestion
of folks right here, ..long, long ago -
at least a month).
OTOH the page will be generated
dynamically (jsp), so there is not
a great opportunity for spiders
in any case ..unless they spider
particular complete URL's, which
would form a self contained page..
(wanders off ..muttering).

The page uses <br> to break each letter
of the word. I was sure there must be
a CSS way to change the text orientation
if a table cell, but a google of ciwah
for orientation+td+ text did not reveal
any hits.
Thoughts, comments, search terms?

writing-mode Attribute
"tb-rl Content in the object flows vertically—from top to bottom, right
to left. The next vertical line is positioned to the left of the
previous line. Wide-cell glyphs are positioned upright; nonwide-cell
glyphs—also known as narrow Latin or narrow Kana glyphs—are rotated
90-degrees clockwise. This layout is used in East Asian typography." http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/a...ritingmode.asp
I tested it under MSIE 6 SP1 for windows and it worked well.
CSS3 Text module (Candidate Recommedation): writing-mode http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/CR-css3-te.../#writing-mode
For a cross-browser solution, writing-mode is not recommendable. Not

Thanks, that gives me some ideas to chew
over.. The best solution I have read so far is
yours to 's p a c e..' the letters, I think that,
with a fixed width font could do what I need.
[ BTW - like your PToE.
And.. no better way to prove
you were serious! ;-) ]

Is there any way to get the same affect as alt text for an image on a
table cell? For instance I want if someone rolls the mouse over the
cell for some instructions to pop up like they do for images when you
have alt text.
I know how to do mouse over effects and onmousein and onmouseout. I
just dont know how to get the same text box style as image alt text.
Thanks in advance!!

Hello,
How can I make an <a> element (containing text only, styled to be a box with

specified any width/height (neither fixed nor percentage) for this table
cell?
Sizing the element to 100% width and height does not work, as the parent
element's width and height are not specified. And yet, in this case at
least, the width and height of the table cell are very...

Can anyone help me out with some code to change three table cells
(<td>) when one is hovered over?
I have a calendar grid where each day is made up of three table cells and
I want all three to change color when any of the three are hovered over.
I would prefer to do this with pure CSS if possible, but if Javascript is
the only way...so be it.

Hi folks,
I have a table cell with a background image, something like
<td background=landscape.jpg height=200></td>
The sole purpose of this code is to display the image inside that table
cell. It displays just as much of the image as the current cell width
allows. The actual cell width is determined by other cells in the same
table column and by the current browser window width.

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,...
