    Using Ubuntu on a USB

    Hi Chris, Sorry it's taken me so long to respond back - craziness at work. I've been doing some research, and I think I'd like to use the Oracle VM VirtualBox tool and install Ubuntu there. I'll check that out. I've reviewed several tutorials and it seems like that may be the way I'd like to...

    Using Ubuntu on a USB

    Hi Chris, Thanks for replying. Yes. I mean the persistence. I believe I did allocate some space for this. I will have to double-check though. I'm a newbie at this, so I believe that would have been when I was making the bootable USB from the ISO image I downloaded. However, I have been...

    Best Practices for Creating Menus - How to Retain Your CSS Menu Structure even with Javascript

    Hi ChrisHunt, You know, I was toying around with that idea. I've seen it on other sites as well. It behaves almost like a custom error page. Because even though I can get by on the navigation menu, I was planning on having a tabbed panel interface containing information that users can switch...

    Best Practices for Creating Menus - How to Retain Your CSS Menu Structure even with Javascript

    Thanks, vacunita. I'll check this out. Thanks for the sample code. It's just gets confusing, because I see all of these cool things like Accordion and Tabbed Panels I want to incorporate throughout my site, but low and behold disabled JS gets in the way. I'll import this into one of my...

    Best Practices for Creating Menus - How to Retain Your CSS Menu Structure even with Javascript

    Basically, just have a menu that's similar to Adobe.com's. Where you have your menu items which contain sub-items, and then have the menu have a simple, nice design, like a gradient.

    Horizontal Menu Becomes Distorted with Firefox Window Zoom

    Hey all, Think I may have solved my own problem. Hope this helps someone. First, make sure your Firefox's Zoom Text Only Feature is turned off. One of the reasons the text was getting distorted was because the containers weren't zooming along with it. Also, I was still getting a wrap on...

    Horizontal Menu Becomes Distorted with Firefox Window Zoom

    One more note. Is this a universal problem in Firefox? I basically want the page and its elements to get bigger, like it appears in Chrome and IE, but Firefox wraps text, text overlaps other text, etc. Is there some fix for this? Thanks in advance for your help. mfho1
