Cool, I'll try those.

Next question, is it possible to put a link (or somesuch) inside a frameset to close the frame it appears in?
For instance if someone had a menu frame that could be closed by the user leaving the main frame open regardless of whatever is in the main frame?

It also would allow the menu to be left open, thus retaining a 'home' button.

Feel free to slap me with a fish if I don't make sense.

Setting the Focus property to exit when the frame loses focus should work.

I feel, like, soooo outdated in this modern world of flash and java.

I can write a bit of HTML, enough to get by, but nothing past the "plain vanilla."

agree on the frames are bad point.  that is all.

:)

I managed to achieve a perfect replica of the page I made with frames with the aforementioned CSS. It also took me less time than it did to make the framed page.

I was thinking that it would be somewhat difficult. :)

btw in case you are wondering I am thinking of making a website of lessons guides and resources for bass players. So that's what all this jazz is about.

you could try The GIMP

I'm not sure what file formats it can save as but it's the best freeware graphics program.

I use photoshop 7 so I can't help you with anything other than the linky.

In the same vein as her Sahiness' post does anyone know a decent freeware animation program? Preferably one that can save as .avi?

Safari for Windows is in its beta stage.

The download page is here if you want to check it out. I'm just about to install it myself.

and as for Safari on Windows - I downloaded it last week when it first came out.
So far I'm not particularly impressed - it doesn't like authenticating proxies at all, and just crashes the moment you provide your login details.  So that makes it useless for me at work so far.

The fonts are rather heavy and ugly compared to FF and IE.

It doesn't integrate well with Windows.  I'm not too fussed about what it looks like inside its own Window - plenty of Windows applications, including those from Microsoft go ahead and make up their own look and feel that has no relation to the standard Windows one.  But the window itself should act like a Windows window.  Only being able to resize it from the lower right corner really bugs me.

No other major problems otherwise though, and I rather like the RSS reader.

However, I'm still hanging out for Konqueror ;)

Hmm... Maybe someone here can give me some advice on my laptop's apparent wireless issues.

I bought the computer in January and rarely used the wireless until this last month because I didn't have wireless at home.  Only sometimes used the uni's connection.  And that seemed to be fine when I used it. 

Last month I moved into a new place and we have wireless internet and my computer seems to have decided that it doesn't always want to connect.  No one else has the problem, just me.

The wireless connection sometimes will just cut out and I can't load any pages.  Sometimes the IE diagnostic tool gets it going again, but sometimes that won't do it and I have to restart my computer.  At the worst I've only been able to connect to the internet for less than 5 minutes at a time before the connection cuts out.  I've had to restart my computer a dozen times in a day just to check email and a couple daily pages.  I usually rsort to just unplugging the cable from the wireless router and plugging my computer in directly if no one else is around.

If I leave the wireless switch turned on and walk away when the computer tries to switch to the screensaver or hibernate it gives an error message saying it can't because the wireless device is preventing it.  And then the connection is gone again and I have to restart the computer.

I think that's about all I can think of right now to describe the problem... I did download a driver but when I went to install it it said it was no more up to date than the one already installed so I didn't bother.

I use Windows, and it's the Media Center version.  Toshiba laptop... Dunno what other info to give.

Anyways, if anyone can suggest anything I'd appreciate it. :)
