If you press the power button on your computer, most modern machines will interpret this as a request to power off and shut the machine down cleanly. (It uses ACPI.) To override this, hold the power button in for ~6 seconds. As for the HTML stuff (I'm a full time working web developer). XHTML transitional is to ease the transition from HTML (4.01) to XHTML and should only be used for that, if you're coding from scratch use XHTML Strict. I've started developing a few projects using HTML5. There are several new elements that can add the the semantic richness of the document quite considerably (<article> <section> <header> <footer> <aside> etc etc). Support is pretty poor at the moment, but you can make the new elements block level in the CSS (or Javascript for IE6). One of the exciting feature of HTML 5 is the <video> tag, and a great deal of work has been done to make this backwards compatible with current browsers. Studying html? I'm sorry for you. I have had a few classes in it. I hate it. Besides no body uses pure html. It is only ever used as nothing more than a container for scripts. Mingle2 is done mostly in php from what I have read. Ummmm, no. HTML is the front end to the application that is Mingle2. It is not a container. Try to think of the code that draws the button as HTML and the code that does the work as the application. I wasn't giving a detailed description you're just arguing semantics. My point remains that HTML is just an enabler and handles formatting for the scripts and/or web applications that do most of the work. |

Dude, I have Dreamweaver, but if you've ever used this, you know that somehow, someway, some day you'll be pulled into doing a little bit of coding!
My question is in regards to the 0'Reilly Reference. Isn't there a reference out there somewhere that organizes the various tags under the heading of what can be accomplished with each of them (COLOR; background; adding to-/ IMAGE; resizing-)? What if a beginner doesn't know what tag to look for in the O'Reilly reference? It seems that if one knows what tag to look for in the reference, then there wouldn't be a reason to search for the tag in the first place, now would there? |

Well first off I would like to point out to some of the more experienced people on here that it may not be a good idea to create all your new paged in XHTML Strict. I say this because of the fact that Microsoft has already stated infatically to the W3C that Internet Explorer will Never Support the mime type of application/xml.
That being said IE will only interpret the page as HTML and never process it as xml. In response to the oreilly reference question. While I am not sure if they have one sorted out as you asked for I will suggest that anyone interested in a great reference to pick up Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference, Third Edition A Comprehensive Resource for XHTML, CSS, DOM, JavaScript By Danny Goodman December 2006 Pages: 1322 ISBN 10: 0-596-52740-3 | ISBN 13: 9780596527402 That book is incredible I think it belongs on any serious developers shelf personally. |
