web programming, part III: success!

Thanks very much (e:paul) the new XHTML version works great, even in IE. ;-)

The home page looks almost exactly the same (that's the point, for anyone not paying attention) but it works much better. *poof* No more compatibility problem! Like magic.

Much obliged! You rock, (e:paul) .

web programming, part II

Big ups to (e:paul) for explaining the problem with my hover buttons and for offering a fix.

Of course Paul you're right about navigation from the home page not being dependent on java applets...sensible, very sensible.

I did figure out that in most cases IE will load the page and will allow navigation with the old hover buttons, as you predicted -- it just takes a preliminary click, then a follow-up click to actually load the linked page.

But this is definitely not optimal, and those with older versions of IE and with other browsers could easily be stuck on the home page with no way to navigate to others, so that's no good.

I'm going to try to implement (e:paul) 's CSS fix and I'm damn glad to have it. Thanks again, Paul.

If only I had time to update my webpage coding skills past 1998...

God, Inc.

Has anyone else seen this yet on YouTube?

Not as funny as say NBC's "The Office," but not half-bad.

If you are very religious and are easily offended, don't bother. It's not horribly sacrilegious but you wouldn't like it.

Episode 1


Episode 2

web programming peoples: help!

Hi peeps,

I just spent a couple of hours updating and spiffying up my personal website. Content is not quite done but the layout is pretty much the way I want it.

Trouble is, I have these old "hover" buttons on my home page. I rather like them, but the latest version of IE chokes on them. I assume they are not IE-compliant.

I'm not much of a coder -- all of my html is old and shitty, and I haven't a clue whether these buttons can be salvaged or not. Does anyone know how to fix my page so that the hover buttons will load in IE?

As much as I'd like to see everyone using Firefox (and yes, the page seems to load in Firefox) I just can't live with the idea that my homepage is inaccessible to all those misguided people who use IE...

Here's the offending page:

Thanks in advance for your help, peeps.

Hmmm... "Joyridin' with Jesus" -- that gives me an idea for a country song...

At the downtown BAC tonight around 6:30 pm, I was on a treadmill next to someone who was a dead ringer for (e:jill) , but I assume it was just a case of my overactive imagination.
