I've used some isopropyl alcohol to clean the scroller ball. Fixed a stuck roller several times now.

Mine flakes out every now and again - won't scroll down. I find if I press the ball while rolling down, it'll come back to life, and then be fine for weeks...

Mine just flaked out and wouldn't scroll down. I googled and got this link and this thread! Holding the mouse upside down and rolling the ball against the mouse mat worked for me.

Not quite a double post, I wrote that in Quick Reply and the page froze, so I found the thread and the post was there but it didn't update the thread to the top of the list, so I p…

Mines crapping out as well.. Scrolls in all directions but down now. Ive tried cleaning the ball as best I can, and it sometimes helps a bit, but not for long. Think i'll just have…

Mine is not scrolling down again now, I've rubbed it over the mouse mat (which has worked before), rubbed it over paper (which has also worked before), pressed the ball down and bl…

Same problem here, often won't scroll down. Apple should really have made then clean-able ..

Hi, Could someone please share with me some sample code of how to use vbscript on an ASP page to display the html of another url? (I know that this is an ASP question posted on a…

The trickiest part of this is actually getting the remote URL. First question: are you trying to do this with server-side VBScript (as part of the ASP page), or client-side VBScri…

I'll prefix this by saying most of what i've done on the windows side has been with c# in asp.net if you're using visual basic.net, microsoft has a nice tutorial for how to downlo…

after re-coding my website over the past couple of days, i've given it a routine run through the w3c validator and it keeps returning errors saying i've included "character data" …

Have you tried 'Zap gremlins' from BBEdit (replacing them with bullet characters) to make sure there's nothing wrong. The characters you're seeing usually mean a UTF8 character has…

Or just try deleting the whole two lines there and rewrite them? That should, in any case, get rid of this seemingly rogue character...

i thought i'd sussed it there - i ran "zap gremlins" on the header file and various included files and it found a non-character in one of the files - but unfortch i'm still getting…

Is it a dodgy line break? Could try normalise line endings. Or re-opening with/without translating line breaks. Does it look weird with Show Invisibles on? What are you document…

it looks fine with "show invisibles on" and yep - the document settings are as you say. i'm wondering if it's some kind of PHP glitch. the page [index.php] includes the header.ph…

I cut and pasted the page source into a new TextWrangler file, set it to UTF-8, and saved it to a new file. I then uploaded that file straight up to the validator, and it passed. …

hi does anybody know where I can find a javascript that will change the mouse cursor or add text next to it (in a little box or something) on a rollover? I've seen it before but ca…

You can do that via CSS, via the cursor property. You can see a list of available methods of doing this here. As for the text (I assume you mean a tooltip?), just specify a title …

thanks oisin - I never knew that <title> tag existed. sooo easy but can I ask - 1. whats the simplest way to format the text box (like make the background white) 2. and is…

I should add that I found this javascript that does allow you to change the format of the boxes but my head is spinning trying to figure out how to implement it on an image based w…
