I wish you all the best. If you are not feeling your best it might be best to take the time off. Try to find a job that will add to your resume. Then return renewed and refresh…

Ive thought of another idea. I was thinking that perhaps I could take some of my classes now and some of them in the fall. If i went part time, then maybe it wouldnt seem so bad.…

Don't rush out of college... BUT FINISH. As long as you KNOW you will go back, I wouldn't think twice about taking a semester off. Get a job and feel what the real world is like..…

Find a girlfriend!

the 2nd idea is a little more encouraging.... Trust me, the real world ain't that much easier, we get sick of school, sick of jobs, sick of locale.... just finish any way you can. …

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…

YAY! managed to implement that last one on my website yugyug.com Its pretty neat. but a bit buggy - i noticed a few things: > The mouseout command to turn it off is the same …

Holy crap. Talk about mystery meat navigation!
