Layer at bottom

[Brian]

Hi

I want to create a layer that 100% wide, 200 px high and stays at the
bottom of the screen, even when the page is scrolled, how do I do this?
I have seen it on websites but can't find any example code

you can use CSS:
position: fixed;

Hi

Could you give me an example of the code to do that?
I can't seem to get it to work :)

Thanks

Please don't top-post.

Every time it seems that you might be emerging from puberty, you spout
off with some garbage like that. It is obvious to anyone that has any
common sense at all what the address is intended to imply. If it fails
to be obvious to you, you need to find another group.

It's not about it being obviously not his own address, it's it being
somebody else's. Should a harvester find the address, it is the
administrator at given.com that must handle the spam, not Brian.

It's simple curtesy *not* to use other people's domains. After all,
Brian is probably not affiliated with Fiven Imaging, Ltd, so he
shouldn't be appearing to be.

If anyone wants an invalid address, use so*******@something.invalid.

Certainly not.

The technical aspect is:

It is a violation of Internet standards, particularly RFC 1036 (Standard
for interchange of USENET messages), and RFC 2822 (Internet Message
Format), to which it refers. The `.invalid' top-level domain (TLD) is
not to be used for e-mail in public (RFC 2606: Reserved Top Level DNS
Names). Bottom line: "A mailbox receives mail." (RFC 2822, 3.4.)

See <http://www.rfc-editor.org/>.
The social aspect is:

Social thinking, reasonable people manage to handle the spam that they
are receiving (by filters); and fight spammers actively (by complaints,
e.g. to admins of open relays) instead of burdening others (i.e. those
who seek to use e-mail as intended, as an important means of non-public
communication, and mail server administrators, of course) with the
consequences of their own (the spam-receivers') incompetence.
Bottom line: Forging addresses helps spammers.

Sorry but anyone who equates address mangling with terrorism is socially

I should add that there are also means available to fight spammers
effectively passively. Search the Web for "tarpit" (or teergrube)

You should read it again, more carefully. It is spamming that is compared

First off You only need half a brain to work out what I meant,
if it bothered you that much then all you had to do was point out
that given.com was a real address, my reply would have been sorry
and I would have changed it as I have. I don't know that given.com
was real, you guys have spent way to much time on this, when all
you had to do was point it out instead of throwing your toys
out the pram and bitching at each other, and the best of all I still
didn't get the answer I was looking for !

You changed it to something less annoying for the owner of the domain,
but same annoying to readers and still standards-violating:

| Verifying <a@b.c>...
| Mail exchanger(s) for b.com: none.
| A record for b.c:
| None, thus <a@b.c> is definitely not an e-mail address (no MX).
I don't know that given.com was real,
It does not matter if the domain already exists. As I have already pointed
out, all *addresses* provided have to be existing, and the domain(s) used
has/have to be yours or you need explicit permission from the owner to use
it.

1) Lots of people don't put their real email address up as
they don't want Spam. If spammer didn't go round looking for
email address on newsgroups then we wouldn't have to do it.
So you should be complaining about the spammers, I, and lots
of others would not put up my real addressee for this reason, but
is doen't stop us from using newsgroups.

2) Newsgroups are set up for 2 things, one as you say to discussion
a giving topic, and 2 to help others that don not understand the given
topic or need help. This is called a community, a gathering of people
that are nice and helpful, and air thier views and points

3) I unlike you, I will continue to help others in other newsgroups who are
asking for help to solve a problem, once again it's called being nice.
If I spot a problem or note that a user is doing something wrong that they
may not be aware of then I would politely point it out, not jump on them

4) You may think you are perfect and never make mistakes and have
the right to 'boss' others about who make who do. A polity reply has
a lot more effect than pissing everybody off because you think you are
better than them.

And as for the 'Go Away' comment, you wish you had that power
give you some sort of meaning in life

So I'm going to leave you and your soap box to get on with it

I wouldn't mind posting on Usenet with no e-mail contant address
(there are probably even people out there who doesn't even have an
e-mail address). If the format does not allow it, I'll also accept
using an invalid address. I don't, but that's because the address
I use is already spammed flat, so it won't make any difference.

I once made the mistake of posting using Google Groups, and it
automagically used one of my GMail accounts. I cancelled the message
immediately, but the damage was done. That account now gets spam
addressed directly to it. If prior experience is a guide, the spam
will increase to the point where I have to abandon that address too.

It is, by now, common usage to have invalid e-mail addresses in
Usenet postings, munged or just plain wrong. It is what new users
are adviced to do by their ISP's security guides. And, in this
day and age, it's probably even the smart thing to do. Trying to
fight that, singlehandedly, is not going to do much good, even
if done diplomatically (otherwise it's doomed to do nothing but
incise people).
and the domain(s) used has/have to be yours or you need explicit

Absolutely. If munging an addresss, don't fiddle with the domain name.
If writing an invalid address, make it invalid, not just not yours.

Go away.

Politeness is free, and makes advice go over so much better :)
Remember, when you try to communicate, what you say is no more
important than how it is received, and making people defensive
is a sure way to make them not be receptive.

Well, that's too much like a red herring. Those two aren't standards,

That is antisocial behavior, too -- setting one's own good above the
good of the others --, yet it hits different and probably more people.
Not using mail addresses forces flame wars and other off-topic
discussions -- and I don't mean primarily discussions about nonexistant
or abusive From/Reply addresses -- on the newsgroups as people cannot
(more calmly) clear up their differences and misunderstandings in
private; not astonishingly, this is quite visible in this newsgroup.
It also hinders or prevents that people get know each other better which
can lead to nice meetings/parties of regulars in RL and stuff like that
(yes, that happens in de.ALL where address "munging" is deprecated by
many [most?] regulars). Usenet is and has been both public newsgroup
and private e-mail, to hinder or prevent one part is/can be considered
harmful to all participants. People who don't have an e-mail address
should not (and, according to the standard which made this communication
medium possible in the first place and allows to keep it running, MUST
NOT) participate *actively* in Usenet (readers are always welcome); but
then, anyone who is attracted by Usenet most certainly has one or more
e-mail addresses.

and the domain(s) used has/have to be yours or you need explicit
permission from the owner to use it.

Absolutely. If munging an addresss, don't fiddle with the domain
name. If writing an invalid address, make it invalid, not just not
yours.

Never ever "mung an address". A string that does not refer to a
mailbox, which at least has to *receive* mail (social behavior would
require at least one given mailbox to be checked for mails by the
owner), is not an e-mail address at all. Instead, learn to manage
your mailboxes (using a strictly filtered, yet not unread, spammer
trap in From and a regularly checked mailbox in ReplyTo helps) and
fight spammers using "legal" ways.

Ref. <news:17****************@PointedEars.de> and
