Something probably simple but I'm still grappling with CSS...
I'm trying to put a border along the bottom of a table and am using the
following as its class.
TABLE.jedheader{

To get bold numbers in ordered lists, one can write
 ol       { font-weight: bold }
 ol span  { font-weight: normal }
 <ol>

the page

displays perfectly on IE 7 and Firefox 2 and 3.  And it is HTML 4.01
Compliant.  For some reason, the bottom center div is a bit downward

I have cells that look like
<td class="menuLink"><a href="...">...</a></td>
In my style sheet, how can I specify a style for the anchor tags?  Or
do I have to create a new style altogether and write out

Why don't those look the same in Firefox?  The latter is the rendering
I'd expect for the first one, as well.  The only difference is that

I am here our of desperation, having RTFM'd and hacked for hours.
What I want is simple.
I want a left to right scrollable div, containing other divs.
Eg.

I guess I am missing something. I tried to put a caption on my photo (on
the bottom) but the caption appears to be a bit higher and overshooting
the area of the image with a few pix.
You can see it on:

I have two divs. The left div is floated left and the right div is floated
right. If the left div contains a single line, the left and right divs are
on the same line (obviously). But...the left div content is dynamic and its
content can occupy two or three lines, When it contains ...

What is the correct markup and CSS styles to create a Tag Cloud?
Should I place each tag inside a list item of an ordered list and
style the list item with a different CSS class according to the tag
frequency to change its size and color?

I haven't done it in a while, but I have on occasion placed a list
inside a box of a specific height (in ems of course) to prevent the list
from taking over the entire layout.  However I noticed a significant
slowing at the browser end when doing this, most notably in MSIE, to ...

It seems like there are only 4 methods to overlap 2 images using CSS?
There are two images, each with its own URL. Using CSS, there seems to
be 2 ways to overlap them (the task is actually to put a "play button"
image with size 50 x 50 on top of the bigger image which is a video

I have a "hidden" anchor in the body of a doc.  By "hidden," I mean that
the contained text of the anchor is indistinguishable from the surrounding
text, the text contained by its parent/ancestor element, which may or may
not be the case if the cursor hovers over the anchor text.

This is a rant. If you don't want to read it then don't, simple really.
I usually spend my working life buried away in the back ends (fnar) of
business systems. Serverside stuff over presentation stuff.
I've managed to steer clear of Microsoft stuff for most of my working

There is a link that encloses a span (or a div), but the link won't
work in IE 7 (clicking on video image works, but not on the play
button), while it works well in Firefox 2 and 3, and Safari 3. The
intention is to make the link clickable on both the play button and

The only browser I have encountered that supports
<colgroup><col class="behold"></colgroup>
to apply a CSS style to a whole column, is Microsoft Internet
Explorer.  I have been told it SHOULD NOT do so, since this is not
