Title

I've been fooling with CSS filters a little lately. I know they're proprietary, but it would be really wonderful if they make it into CSS3 (even by different property names and/or possible values). Anyhow, in case you're interested, here's a link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/filter/reference/reference.asp and be sure to click the Show Me button on that page....

DWmommy

Ok, so you may be wondering, how I came up with the idea for DWmommy. Truth be told, it wasn't my idea; it was Massimo Foti's idea. It's sort of a long story, and one I'd rather not explain tonight. To make it short, he suggested it basically because I'm often a nuetral party and someone people seek advice from. :-) One friend suggested I turn this site into a Dear Abby type thing for...

Now public

Hello there! I've just made this site publicly known on the Dreamweaver newsgroup moments ago. What have I done??? :-)

Undies in a bundle

Lately people have had their undies in a bundle on the Dreamweaver newsgroup. I can understand some of the frustrations, but I think people spend way to much time worrying about the way that people post. If there is someone whose style you don't care for, add them to your block list. If you learn to use your newsreader wisely, you'll not be bothered by stupid things. Can't we all just get along?...

Research and writing

I spent most of yesterday working on the book, trying to get a bunch of writing done. I did quite a bit of research as well. So far it has been a lot of fun working on this project, despite the hard work.

Francesca's B-day and stuff

Yesterday was my niece Francesca's 6th birthday. We spent most of the day getting ready for that with last minute gift shopping and all. I'm way behind on work now though, and shouldn't have stayed there so late, but hubby wanted to hang with his family. Actually, for a nice change, I had a pleasant visit. Today Dan helped me learn how to make ZIP files on the fly so my co-author could download...

Foiled by typlexia

I'm absolutely determined to keep each page of this site XHTML strict. In doing so, that means that a form tag cannot have a name attribute. Well that just messed me up! I'm not worried about older browsers at all, which means I can use document.getElementById(). Unfortunately due to my typlexia I was using getElementsById()(notice the extra s) and was having no luck so I moved to...

Archives

I've spent today working on the archive for records older than 3 days. It has been quite challenging but I think I finally got it. I'll know for sure once I add a few more records and do some further testing. This time however I had to enlist the help of Dan. Thanks Dan! :-) My issue was that I was getting bad dates returned by the SQL I used. I needed to enclose the date variables in # marks and...

Making progress

Woo hoo; I did it! I figured out how to make it so I can have multiple entries for the same day here and only make the date show up once. I'm so proud, LOL! I didn't even harrass Dan for help. Next I need to get the navigation going and then the archives. Fun, fun, fun... I still wish this was being done in CF and I just might convert it for practice later on. After all, absolutely everything is...

Feeling better...

I'm just now starting to feel better. Being in pain all day has messed up my head and I can't concentrate on work. I've not gotten a darn thing done today really. Ok so I got a few things done but not enough. I better hurry up and get work done before company comes over tonight...
