Multiple CSS Classes on One Element/Control

You can apply multiple css styles on one element. For example, let's assume we have two css classes in the style sheet named "nrml" and "center" respectively .nrml { font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size:10px;} .center { text-align: center;} You can apply both the above 2 styles to a div using the following syntax. <div class="nrml center" id="Layer2"> It will render with both classes applied in Internet Explorer 5.0+, Netscape 7+ and Opera 7. CSS 2.0 is really cool and there are lot of powerful unexplored areas

Make printer friendly web pages easily, avoid banners, images from printing

<LINK rel="stylesheet" type"text/css" href="print.css" media="print"> The styles in the print.css will be used only when the document is printed. These styles will have no effect on the display of the document when viewed using a monitor, audio browser, or any other non-printing device. So you need not make seaparate printer friendly pages, but just make a printer friendly style sheet and link it to web page with media="print". I will explain it with real example. First we write a stylesheet for screen display, say screen.css BODY {color: silver; background: black;} A:link {color: yellow; background: #333333; text-decoration: none;} A:visited {color: white; background: #333333; text-decoration: none;} A:active {color: black; background: white; text-decoration: none;} H1, H2, H3 {color: #CCCCCC; background: black; padding-bottom: 1px; border-bottom: 1px solid gray;} Now we have to make a relatively simple stylesheet for printing, s

me Telepathist ??

Hey believe me I can read your mind. Think a small number Double this number Add 8 to the result Divide the result by 2 Subtract the original number Convert this into a letter of the alphabet. (1=A, 2=B, 3=C, 4=D, 5=E etc.) Think of the name of a country which starts with this letter. Think of an animal whose name starts with the country's second letter. hahaha You are wrong actually there is no elephants in Denmark except some in the zoo.. Thank you friends for not thinking about ostrich in Dominica. Still you don't think I mastered the art of telepathy, then try this Think a 3-digit number where the first and last digits differ by 2 or more... "reverse" number, obtained by reading it backwards. Subtract the smaller of these two numbers from the larger one. Add the result to its own reverse. Is it 1089 ?

3 = 2, am I right ?

-6 = -6 9-15 = 4-10 9-15+(25/4) = 4-10+(25/4 ) // adding 25/4 to both sides: 9+(25/4)-15 = 4+(25/4)-10 //Changing the order //(this is just like : a square + b square - two a b = (a-b)square.) //Here a = 3, b=5/2 for L.H.S and a =2, b=5/2 for R.H.S. . ' . (3-5/2)(3-5/2) = (2-5/2)(2-5/2) 3 - 5/2 = 2 - 5/2 //Taking positive square root on both sides 3 = 2 ----- ---

Joke

I am really fed up, for the last three months working in production support. Code drops, bug fixing and installation on daily basis. Seriously thinking about changing the job. I don't mind even if it is as a waitor in the hotel, but the fact is that I will be a failure in that too. Let us c Guest: Waiter! Me: Hi, my name is Roshan, and I'll be your Support Waiter. What seems to be the problem? Guest: There's a fly in my soup! Me: Try again, maybe the fly won't be there this time. Guest: No, it's still there. Me: Maybe it's the way you're using the soup; try eating it with a fork instead. Guest: Even when I use the fork, the fly is still there. Me: Maybe the soup is incompatible with the bowl; what kind of bowl are you using? Guest: A SOUP bowl! Me: Hmmm, that should work. Maybe it's a configuration problem; how was the bowl set up? Guest: You brought it to me on a saucer; what has that to do with the fly in my soup?! Me: Can you remember everything you d

To Re-register IIS

In order for your dot net web applications to run properly, the .NET Framework must be installed after Microsoft IIS is installed. If this is not the case for your machine, Microsoft provides the aspnet_regiis utility program to un-register and then re-register the .NET Framework. Its purpose is to ensure that ASP.NET is set up properly and otherwise manage the .NET installation. Run the following command sequence to set up your Microsoft IIS web server properly. //The "-u" flag uninstalls the current version of ASP.NET. aspnet_regiis -u //The "-i" flag installs the current version of ASP.NET. aspnet_regiis –i //The “-c” flag installs the client-side scripts for this version to the aspnet_client subdirectory of each IIS site directory. aspnet_regiis -c
