Well after almost two years, today is my last day working in education. As of September I will be on the other side receiving an education studying Software Engineering at UCLan. I personally can't wait as at 22 I feel I've put it off long enough. Working in IT in education has been an experience and a half and I have so much respect for all of you who have been in the game for a long time. I'll remain active on here (not that I post that much any way) as I enjoy the banter, and it's one of my main sources for IT related news. (plus I love the buzz of the once or twice in all this time I've managed to help someone with a problem haha).

Might not be a lot of help but it seems to work fine for me on safari and chrome (running windows admittedly). I can't see anything wrong with the code, is there some strange setting on the macbooks that disables the css? EDIT: I meant Firefox, not Chrome... although it works in that too.

That's because you have a 90% container and they're set to 'margin-left:5px' so they will float 5px from the left. If you try creating another smaller centred container inside the main one, then you may have better luck. CSS: .staff-container { width: 90%; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; text-align:center; } .box-container{ width:50%; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; } .staff-box { width:45%; text-align:center; float:left; margin-left:2%; margin-right:2%; background: url('http://www.edugeek.net/misc.php?do=dbtech_usertag_hash&hash=e2ebe8'); padding-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 10px; border:#000 1px solid; cursor:pointer; cursor:hand; } .staff-box:hover { background: [url=http://www.edugeek.net/misc.php?do=dbtech_usertag_hash&hash=6f9387]#6f9387[/url] } HTML: Online Bookingimages/bookingsystem.png Online Helpdeskimages/helpdesk.png

If I change to IE8 running in IE7 compatibility mode it puts them on top of each other, but IE8 itself seems to work fine. Have you tried what @comedydave sugessted?

They both layout fine for me. IE8 left, IE9 right.

Love it!!! Also found this.... Don't think I'll be fixing many computer today Make Your Own Angry Bird Paper Craft

Yeah I just used that image and added the text, fairly straightforward really. PM me if anyone wants it and cant be bothered making their own though lol (currently have 2560 x 1024 and 3200 x 1200 versions as I got new monitors today )

COOOKKIEESSSS!

From what I can gather from the specs the HTC seems like it will be better quality and much nicer to own, whereas the samsung seems like it will be a bit quicker. I have the Galaxy S I9000 at the moment and would happily get the second one. Samsung Kies is truely awful as previously mentioned, but the wireless version (kies air) is alot nicer to use, so it's not all bad. Also judging by the weight of the 2, the new samsung seems like it might be just as plasticy as the one I have which although it feels fairly cheap... is noticeably lighter than any other phone out there. I've never owned a HTC so can't really comment on that, but I've been very happy with my Galaxy, never had any problems with it and if I was due an upgrade I think I'd get the Galaxy 2. Hope this helps somewhat.

Well I've had a productive day.... http://pbonddesign.com/clippy.jpg

Cancel that, I got it

For the most part I've fallen in love with it, but it's irritating how it's still got some of the bugs I found before. Following links in e-mails seems to just open a new blank tab rather than following the link :/ On the up side, when you pin a site to the taskbar and then open it from there the back/forward buttons get their own custom colour... That makes up for it I guess ¬¬ Has anyone checked out the amazing sites section on the beautyoftheweb.com site? Some of those sites are pretty amazing

I had a go but after a while it started doing some weird things, like when you click on a link and it opens in a new tab it would just reload the page the link was on in the new tab as opposed to actually following it.

Internet Explorer 9 is being released on Monday (14th March) 9pm PST (that's Tuesday 15th March 5am GMT). I for one am looking forward to seeing how they've ironed out the millions of bugs from the beta... and seeing "A more beautiful web" with HTML5 A More Beautiful Web Launches on March 14th

I'm not entirely sure it's the same problem, but we had problems with people adding content to windows live movie maker from a network folder.. It came up with an error saying you can't add files from network locations. To get round it we had to create a registry hack for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live\Movie Maker (I'm guessing yours won't be in windows live) Created a new DWORD called ALLOWNETWORKFILES Then each user had to run the hack before it would allow them access to network locations. (We only had a couple of staff members though). Could be a wild stab in the dark, but it worked here.

Perhaps a collaberation? If SYSMAN_MK or CESIL fancy it. I was thinking use one of their trees, add the underline on to it and I can provide font + colour details if required.

What about something like this? If I'm not too late It's very rough and would be cleaned up obviously. Just threw it together quickly.

I've never seen this posted on here and came across this little gem a few weeks ago. http://www.microsoft.com/design/toolbox/ If you're interested in learning about creating rich user interactive applications and sites in silverlight using Expression Studio this is definitely a good place to start. You get to watch training videos building in difficulty as you get further in and complete little tests to earn points and badges (which for the simpler folk like me is always fun). These take you across 2 paths, one in design scenarios showing you how to do specific things in expression studio and one on design principles showing you basically what makes a good visual design and user interface. Plus you get to build your own little avatar (again for me, always fun).

I might try sneak it in there actually

I'm working on a little something and need as many different ways to basically say relax as possible. So far I've got: Kick back, wind down, relax, sign out, log off, switch off... can anyone think of any more? It's for a poster in the classrooms to remind people to switch the machines off at the end of the day, each ones going to be in grey with 'log off' and 'switch off' thrown in there randomly in white to highlight them.

I never found any decent free web parts when I was playing with it, but to upload silverlight content just upload the '.xap' file from the 'bin > debug' folder in the silverlight project, put in a silverlight web part, point it to that '.xap' file and you're good to go. Probably a good idea to change the web part properties to match the size of your silverlight app though.

From living both in the North and South of England I have noticed that up here it is dinner and tea, but down there it is lunch and dinner. I personally use lunch and dinner, then tea if you have a sandwich or something after dinner.

Are youhaving a problem viewing them on the photosynth site or embedded on your school site?

Works on mine, runs using silverlight does it not? Edit: im using ie9 beta and have silverlight 4 installed
