    The whole thing was a hoax.
    Uhhh, OK -- that "ans" before isn't me. There's an issue with the username system where you can add a space before or after and mimic another user. Sorry for the scare -- Pennypacker isn't going anywhere!

    I am going to get this thread closed.

    fuck, so it is a java function, not a css deal

    maaaaaaaaan

    Oh, I guess I'm more used to using scripting for that sort of thing, but there is a :hover CSS item.

    So you could do something like
    #magicDiv:hover {
        background-color: red
    }

    I think the hover function only works on a link. I tried applying that and it only changed the background immediately behind the link text itself, not to the entire link.

    The problem is that the div itself is in a repeating region, so to give it an ID I'd have to name it dynamically, which means the call itself would have to call the dynamic name, which argh there's gotta be a cleaner way of doing this.

    Yeah, Internet Explorer (at least version 6) only recognizes :hover on links, which sucks. I've seen some workarounds, but they involve using JavaScript to mess around with the classes, so the simple JavaScript solution would probably be the best bet.

    Are you trying to avoid using JavaScript at all?

    I've already got a call for an imageswap/restore on the OnMouseOver and OnMouseOut events, as well as an OnClick URL call on the div. Is there a way to add a second function call to the same event?

    right now, the code for the div looks like this:
    <div onclick="MM_goToURL('parent','/Support/Video/Watch.asp?ID={ID}');return document.MM_returnValue" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('img_MediaGallery_th','','/Images/video/{Thumbnail}',1)" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" spry:repeat="xrs_Video"><a href="../Support/Video/Default.asp"></a>

    You can call multiple functions in the event handler if they are separated by semicolons like so:

    onclick="doSomeFunction('blah', 'blah'); doSomeOtherFunction(1, 2, 3);"

    they've made some decent strides in 7, finally adopting most css standards, from what I can tell, but yeah, it's a giant pain in the ass for anyone trying to design for the web

    I hate learning all this css shit. I mean, it's neat, and damn handy from a maintenance point of view, but I'm a designer, not a coder, so my brain doesn't like to work like that, and I'm learning it all as I go. A huge learning curve just to get my job done.

    we're rebuilding our company's entire site from the ground up, adopting css compliance standards a lot more and getting away from a lot of the programming design ethics we had before, as I was literally learning web layout for the first time as I went. The last site was a gigantic jumbled mess of nested tables within nested tables. It looks nice, but search engines and indexing services have one hell of a time working through it all. This time around, we're using a lot more functionality built into the div/css method, and using some of the really cool Spry features in Dreamweaver CS3, and using more client-side services (based on historical browsing records) to make the site look and run a hell of a lot faster and smoother.

    Anyone know if any browser supports auto text scrolling. I don't mean clicking the middle mouse button and using the mouse to scroll, but to hit a key and have the page scroll on it's own. Possibly with some other keys that adjust the speed. I can't seem to find anything that doesn't have to do with the middle mouse button scroll.

    Being able to minimize tabs is pretty handy. I could go and type up a comparison, but the only way to decide whether or not it's for you is to try it for a while. And if you don't try it, there's nothing wrong with FF. :P
