<0> it's what i do
<0> but
<0> i probably won't do that
<1> decore: i don't get it
<0> i'll probably get a job starting out at a factory or something
<1> why would you want to do that
<1> it doesn't make any sense
<0> why doesn't it?
<2> hax, he's a special kind of guy :)
<0> i'm different
<1> decore: you don't want to learn new skills?
<0> i do
<0> but
<0> i don't have the education levels to support them on paper.
<3> How could one find out what a font a unicode character appears in?
<1> decore: so?



<3> Or, alternatively, how can one find out what font Firefox is using to display a character?
<0> hax: im going to pm you, kay?
<2> webben, Web developer extension and check what font was used in the computed style?
<1> decore: i think the channel is probably interested, but you could
<0> eh
<0> id rather not share every possible aspect of my life.
<0> lol
<1> hah, ok
<1> yeah, go for it
<4> :(
<4> What about us voyeurs?
<1> oh that ptlis, always silently watching...
<4> Indee >;D
<4> s/indee/indeed/
<3> Zeros: how do you do that for an individual character?
<2> webben, firefox shouldn't pick an arbitrary font to display text... it should use whatever font is specified in the font-family shouldn't it?
<2> so click on the parent element and check?
<3> Zeros: you're forgetting about unicode fallback
<3> Zeros: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_fallback_font
<2> I know
<3> Zeros: if FF doesn't find a character in one font, it will check other fonts
<2> you didn't say it was outside the Latin plane though :P
<3> i want to know what font it's finding the character in
<2> I don't know how you'd go about doing that
<3> Zeros: sorry, should have made clear it's some weird unicode character
<3> How very odd.
<3> judging by http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Software/BabelMap.html
<3> i don't have a font on my system that can display === (U+2A76)
<3> yet in FF http://www.benjaminhawkeslewis.com/test/test.html displays fine
<3> opera and ie fail
<3> i wonder what mystical energy-space FF is summoning the correct character out of
<3> can other FF users see the === on that page?
<5> works for me
<3> hmm, doesn't work on FF on Ubuntu
<3> so it must be something freaky on my windows box
<5> would it depend on your default font, as the page doesn't set one?
<6> hi all! is there a way to use "&" within a GET-request without starting the next variable. E.G. something like: index.php?x=jim&bob are happy
<6> so, i am trying to escape the & without replacing it...
<5> RolandU: try using %26 instead
<3> RolandU: yes percentage escape it
<3> RolandU: it will work fine
<3> RolandU: http://people.w3.org/rishida/scripts/uniview/conversion
<6> thanks! that rescued me.
<7> if you have a 3 column list, what way do you think the user would expect to be reading... left to right, or top to bottom?
<8> starts top left, works across top, then runs down side then content in F shape... some uni. did eyescans of people reading sites :)
<9> This is a bit offtopic
<8> people reading #web sites?
<9> but, if anyone wants to knw about webpage security, join #webpagesecurity for a free tutorial :-)
<10> Are there browsers that would have a problem with <br /> ? or <img />
<11> not to my knolage
<10> oh, because i read that it could in my xml book
<10> sounded funny though
<11> how old is ur xml book ?
<10> not too old
<12> anyone know a good css file i can copy that has nice default styles for all the common html elements and also some nice cl***es for things like <p cl***="note"> <p cl***="warning">, etc..?
<10> it's by Liam Quin of the W3C
<11> [yip] make ur own
<11> [Pz] what year ?
<10> not sure, i dont have it handy, probably 3-4 years old
<12> RenaFuse: don't have the time or the fashion-sense



<3> well. i think i've worked out the three equals thing is something to do with unicode compatibility decomposition
<11> [Pz] everythings changed since then
<11> [yip] no one likes ppl copping there code
<11> [yip] css is sooo easy
<12> i'm not a designer
<11> [yip] look for this app TopStyle Pro
<3> [yip]: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1#appendix-a might get you started
<3> [yip] or better http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/sample.html
<11> [webben] heh if h understands it
<11> he *
<11> ;\
<3> Pz: yes ... in theory all conformant HTML user agents have a problem with <br />
<3> Pz: see the Hixie document in the topic
<3> Pz: fortunately there seems to be only one browser that was ever conformant on that point, but there are also conformant sgml parsers.
<3> yip, http://www.oswd.org/ might also be of interest
<13> yay
<12> webben: yeah i know that site but i can't really find something that fits what i need
<13> now I have to wait for QA to stage so I can show the boss
<13> this is the part I am the least patient about
<14> Is ASP.Net any good?
<1> Trent: its a trap
<1> bewest: yay for QA
<15> can anyone here help with publishing my blog to my own site or direct me to a channel?
<14> hax, What do you mean?
<1> Trent: ITS A TRAP!
<16> The most absurd picture I have ever seen is that of Bush, in fighter pilot gear, standing on the deck of a ship with the banner "Mission Accomplished"
<14> hax, I'm confused.
<1> jamescarr: its epic
<16> the biggest absurdity is that that was 3.5 years ago
<16> "The end of all major combat operations in Iraq"
<1> jamescarr: yeah, so?
<1> jamescarr: you just joined #web to talk about that?
<1> lol
<16> yeah, lol
<1> oh
<1> well
<1> okay
<1> Trent: .net is a trap
<1> Trent: avoid at all costs
<14> k
<3> swimrr: which software are you using?
<15> right now blogger.com
<15> I can't access my server settings to use wordpress (trying to change that)
<16> anyway, I wonder if I should create two new blogs... one for my political posts and one for my personal thoughts/stories
<16> to keep them seperate from my software development blog
<15> jamescarr: I think that's a good idea - who know how people are about politics
<15> jamescarr: what software do you use?
<3> swimmr: i thought blogger had an faq about how to do that
<17> `css @media
<18> Found for CSS 2 - @media - http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/generate.html#x17
<15> webben: there's always a question I have that isn't answered
<15> lol
<15> when I click view post it goes to my homepage, not the blog page for instance
<3> swimrr: http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=41438 perhaps
<16> swimrr, I am a software developer at Carfax
<15> webben: did all that - still goes to my homepage and not nomepage.com/template
<16> I usually blog about agile software development
<16> www.james-carr.org
<15> jamescarr: what software do you use
<16> uh... narrow it down? As a programmer I use and write a lot of software.
<15> lol - blogging software
<16> wordpress
<3> swimrr: as you can tell if you look at the footer of his blog :)
<19> hello
<15> LOL - OOPS
<19> if i put an img into a table cell why am i see whitsespace under the img ?
<19> without padding ofc
<20> margin?
<19> or margin.. :)
<19> have you got any idea?
<20> nope :)
<1> noocx: yeah, there's a reason for that... i want to say vertical-align: bottom would fix it
