I'm running Firefox 25 on a Windows 7 Home system, and the none of the new unicode icons that Y! mail uses are loading (I'm getting the unicode squares with the code). What do I need to do to fix this? I've tried clearing my browser cache, restarting my browser, restarting my computer. The icons work on this system using IE, but the performance degradation of having to use IE kills me (as in it literally takes 20 minutes to open IE and load Y! mail). Is there a unicode add-on pack for FF25 I can download and fix it? As a side note, the icons do load on my FF25 Windows Vista laptop, so I know it is not FF25 specifically, just my installation on this system.

How do I set up a table to align a column based on a point? For example; if I had the numbers set { 3.8, 6, 8.23, 10.1, 14 }, each on its own row in a table, and I want the decimal points to line up....

To look similar to:

(*NOTE: "_" are place holders as Yahoo Answers doesn't allow HTML tags (<pre> or <code>) in question details.)

__3.8

__6

__8.23

_10.1

_14

I also would like to be able to line up strings of text:

____8 rainy days

__14 sunny days

____1 snow day

______7 fair days

(lined up based on the word "day")

Maybe a combination of the both? I realize I may have to make two columns to accomplish aligning two separate things.

__12.8%_ like candy

___7%___like vegetables

__57.3%_ like fruit

__22.9%_ like pizza

Lined up based on decimal point and the word "like".

I have to use CSS because the table is on a wiki, and I don't want to have to border-collapse the whole table..

I am helping my son work on a "science fair" project. He is trying to build a bicycle that runs on DC battery power. We know that this already exists, so he said what if we up the ante and build one for places with a lot of hills (like our rural Maine area). We wants to build a DC motor that also dual purposes as an alternator. That way he can run the motor drawing energy up the hill, and when he is just coasting down the other side the alternator side can kick in and offer some kind of recharging factor to the batteries. Any idea of where I can find such a dual purpose motor / alternator or where to look to see if maybe using a bunch of spare auto parts out in the yard build something like that?

I want to be able to stream my home video's to my friend across the country. I need some ideas for a way to do it that is cheap but effective.

I have a 1962 IH T5 Crawler dozer that currently is set up for a 6V + ground system, and I want to convert it to a 12V -ground system. What I need is a list of parts I need to get and some sime instructions or a clear schematic of what goes where. I know I need to get a 12V Altenator (I think I can use the one that came off of my '91 GMC Sonoma) Is that correct? Thanx.

Does anyone have or know where i can find a working javascript/VBscript that will allow me to have a drop down menu that loads its values based on the selection in another drop down menu which in turn gets its value from another dropdown menu? Just as an example to explain my question...

Lets say I wanted a menu that listed manufacturer:

Ford, GM, Chrystler.

then based on that model:

F150, F250, F350, Superduty, Mustang, etc...

then based on that engine type:

4.2V6, 5.4V8, 5.8V8, 6.2D, etc...

How do I do that? I've made a javascript that seemed to work, then I put it in a form and it doesn't work anymore. I can't figure out why, or how to fix it yet. I'm getting pretty familar with HTML, Javascript, HTML DOM. I don't have access at this time to PHP, ASP, MySQL... I've avoided databases by using arrays. Thank you.

Is there anyway I can create or D/L a Java applet, javascript,VBscript, PHP/ASP, swf or any other thing that will detect if a user visits my website using a dialup connect. I want to have my site automaticaly redirect dialup users to a special low-res version of my site to make it load better and fast for them. Is there anyway I can do this. I was thinking maybe make a script to ping their server and figure out how fast there connection is by how long the ping takes, but not sure if satellite users might have too much latency for this to work. Any ideas?

I need to find a webhost site to use as a testing ground for my formmail.php, and other PHP learning.

Hello. I was wondering how to pass values/variables back and forth from my HTML form to a JavaScript function and back to HTML form?

Lets say my form get's a users telephone number as three parts...

<input type="text" name="areacode" value="800" maxlength="3">

<input type="text" name="prefix" value="555" maxlength="3">

<input type="text" name="number" value="1212" maxlength="4">

Now I want to make a JavaScript function to take those 3 values and give me a...

var phone_no="("+areacode+") "+prefix+"-"+number

Then I want to pass (phone_no) back to the form as something like...

<input type="hidden" name="phone_no">

How can I accomplish this? I need for a few different scripts. After all that, is there another way to combine those without js? Can I somehow make.

<input type="hidden" name="phone_no" value='"("+areacode+") "+prefix+"-"+number'>

Doesn't anyone know how to read the other "why is myspace down" questions before asking the same question over and over themselves? What is up with that?

My 7/8 year old rottwieller has swollen lymph nodes. She has been on a steriod and antibiotic for about a week and a half, and the swelling has gone down some, but I can still feel tham when i search for them the are solid feeling little lumps. Should I get it biopsied for lymphoma or is it normal for them to feel like solid little bumps? She is my little girl, so if there is anyone with vetrinarian background, or has dealt with this in there dog, please give me some input.
