Who Gives a .... Anyway

No posting for a while, wish I had, have learnt so much, will try to publish the other points A great feature that I found in style sheet is z-index. you add this into your normal def div.ItemOnTop {    z-index: 50; } then you can control how the page is rendered and what appear on to of another. the low the number the low the "layer" that the item appears. So with CSS you can make sure a pull down menu appears over the other items in the page, you can use the above, as long as there are no other items that are on the page with a higher Z-index

But this one I cannot believe has to be done. In a development environment spaces at the end of the line are just a waste of computing time, especially with browsers

I am always keen for people to know why coffee is given a bad name. And take a read of this and rethink. Sugar is a killer. I got this from urban sprout "Submitted by sproutingforth on Tue, 2007-04-24 11:11. Why is sugar bad for us? William Dufty, in his book ‘Sugar Blues’ has a lot to say on the subject of why sugar is bad for us. According to him, refined sugar is lethal. Sugar actually drains and leaches the body of precious vitamins and minerals through the demand its digestion, detoxification and elimination make upon one’s system, because sugar is what nutritionists term ‘empty’ calories. Taken every day, sugar produces an over-acid condition. This requires more and more minerals, such as sodium, potassium and magnesium, to rectify the imbalance. Finally, in order to protect the blood, so much calcium is taken from the bones and teeth that decay and general weakening begin" www.urbansprout.co.za/sugar_killing_you_softly_part_2

So here is how you add some code into your HTML aspx file <script>  does not work but <% ...%&gt does. And here is some code which identifies the current page, path and strips them into separate parts: <%   string sPath = Request.ServerVariables["PATH_INFO"]; string sPage; string sWebPath;      //-- Before capitlaizing get the path from the string sWebPath = sPath; //-- Capitalize for easy searching sPath = sPath.ToUpper(); //-- Find the page name sPage = sPath.Remove(0,sPath.LastIndexOf("/")+1); //-- Find the webpath sWebPath = sWebPath.Remove(sPath.IndexOf(sPage)); if (sPath.Contains("DEFAULT.ASPX")){     Response.Write("do something on the home page"); } else {     Response.Write("do something on the other pages"); } %> Reference site worth a vi...
