CSS is easy, you just have to dive right in. I learned the basics for my job interview for this job on w3 schools. Then when I got the job I spent the first 3 months pulling my hair out. Now 12 months in, it is like a second language to me. Need any help in the future PM me A little tip. Build in Firefox (the most standards compliant browser out there), validate your code through The W3C Markup Validation Service then test it in Chrome, Safari, Opera and finally IE. As IE upto version 8 doesn't support w3c standards, because MS thought they were superior. So then fix for IE with a separate stylesheet. So the general rule is - Build to Standards, fix for IE.

The overall div may have been a bit overkill. As essentially you are using a block element to wrap an inline element. Try using "display:block;" on the ul itself to make the ul act like a div. This should help cut down on your markup

Try using "float:left;" instead of "display:inline-block;" Also, prempting the next issue - place after your 2 boxes in your markup. And creat a class with the same name and the property "clear:both;" in your CSS

Hi all, This is my first post on here since becoming a web developer. We have a clients website, which outputs the results of a set of data to an SWF file that displays a graph on the page. Unfortunantly, when the the client and thier customers print the page - it displays tiny from IE and doesn't display at all from FF, Chrome, Safari and Opera. Does anyone have a fix, preferably HTML or CSS that will force the end users browser to print Embedded flash?

Apologies Axe, but this one was too good to passover. And I have been waiting for a NW Managers position in Gloucestershire to come up. Did you apply for the position here at the College btw?

Already forwarded it to him

IT Helpdesk Coordinator £14,431 - £15,426 per annum Location: Gloucester Post Number: H094 Closing Date: Friday 14 May, 2010 (at 22:00) Full time, maternity cover until April 2011. Interview date: 26th May 2010 Gloucestershire College - Jobs

I got stitched by that a couple of years back. Was sat there in the lobby of "a private school which will remain unnamed" with 4 other candidates, then a 6th candidate wandered down from upstairs, removed his school id badge and replaced it with a visitors badge. Turned out he had been working there as a temp for 6 months, and they were only going through the motions to get him employed. 3 Technical tests, a formal lunch and 40 minute face to face interview later, what a waste of a day.

I wish a Job like this would come up in Gloucestershire!!!

We have an Apple techy here, but the college calls him an "Apple Specialist" and pays him £5k more than the rest of us. That said, he does do the job of a manager of a small network, including apple servers and keeping all the prissy apple loving types happy.

More specifically, Room Checks. We currently use a paper form to keep track of our Room Checks under our SLA. Our SLA states that we will check an IT room every 2 weeks. So I wish to setup a form on our new Sharepoint whereby users enter the Helpdesk reference number into a box once it is cleared, and it marks the flag on the field as done. If the time since the last check is over 2 weeks, it highlights them. Perhaps in an area at the top marked "Outstanding Room Checks" and thier assigned technician. I have absolutely no Sharepoint or Infopath training, so i'm an absolute newbie. This may even be outside the possibility of SP. I have been trying the almighty oracle that is google, but not knowing how to word the query, couldn't yield any good results. Thanks in advance.

For a Junior I'm a 2nd line Techy with MCP's and I get paid less than that. Shame it's so far away!

An excellent point, hence the fact i'm not a DBA

Microsoft Route MCDST (2 Exams) MCSA (5 Exams, but you can count MCDST, or Win 7 equiv as elective) MCSE (unsure not researched it) Cisco Route CCNA (4 Semesters/Exams) ITIL Get all of this, and you can easily walk into a NW Manager/IT Manager position in industry and command double (if not more) an Educational Manager Salary. Bearing in mind Industry do want thier pound of flesh! So if you want a quiet life, stay in Education

I like it too. Very tidy.
