All,
I'm trying to spoof Google's vertical tabs in a vertical menu
structured with nested UL/LI elements.
To do this, I need to find out where the anchor in the LI is, and then
create an absolute positioned div to bridge the space between the menu
and the content page.
This works with one level of LI's. However, with more than one, the
nested elements have offsetHeight and clientTop (among others) that
are set to 0 (zero). (And even more peculiar - using the FF debugger,
the embedded stacked anchor strings have apparently been converted to
a single string with embedded line breaks).
Anyway, I don't get it.
The question: how do I get positioning information for nested UL/LI
elements (in both FF and IE6&7).
Thanks!

I have no idea what you mean by that. Do you have a link?

That may make sense if I knew what you were trying to achieve, but I
don't so it doesn't. :-(

"stacked anchor strings"? Can you post an example of the HTML that
you are trying to manipulate? Or a link to a minimal test case?
Anyway, I don't get it.
Nor do I. ;-)

Matt Kruse has an object position library, have you tried it?

It's not perfect and may not work for your situation, but it's been
helpful in getting me over a few similar hurdles. Most I'd recommend
using pure CSS and HTML as much as possible, depending on script for
position (unless you keep the HTML simple) is generally a bad idea.

Eric Meyer's <http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/inline-format.html> is very

Unfortunately, that's what I think I need.
I understand the desired behavior: parent inline elements should not
stretch in height to fit nested child inline elements that are taller than
the parent.
What I'm missing is the "why", the rational behind this behavior that will

Ok, this might be for a web designing group, but here's my problem. I'm
trying to make a web page with tabs which you can navigate between
without the page reloading. I have one set of tabs working great, but
when I add nested tabs there is a problem with the 'visibility' not
being inherited and some parts stay visible in the sub-tabs. Sorry if
this is unclear.
Here's how I have it layed out: I have a <span> for each content

Hello.
I am working my way through Zhang's "Teach yourself C in 24 hrs (2e)"
(Sam's series), and for nested loops, he writes (p116) "It's often
necessary to create a loop even when you are already in a loop." Then he
goes on to portray a contrived example that doesn't tell me under what
conditions a nested loop might be favoured as a solution? i.e. what are
nested loops useful for? What kinds of algorithms are served by nested
loops?...

I'm building my first major C# program and am try to use best practices

Thus, when an instance of each the form and the class are instantiated, they
each will hold the same data, albeit be independent of each other.
To keep the two in perfect sync with each other,...

Hi,
I am new to the MVP pattern and one of the main reasons that we are going
this route is because we are doing Scrum with 30 day sprints - so we have a
continually morphing design. We are using TDD as well to improve our ability
to refactor... you probably all know this approach.
Although the user iterface is supposedly one of the last things that you
need to do, this is a web app and we have multiple nested Repeaters on the

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

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,...
