  • how to target html elements?

    I used to dev websites back in the 90s but here in the new age I am making a webpage and I want to make it right. It used to be that I could fill the page with frames or iframes and give the links target the frames. Apparently that is not what the cool kids do nowadays. So I made a page with a header, nav, 2 asides (left and right) and a main. I gave the links a target to main and it just opened a new tab. gave the main a name=main attrib. and it just opened another tab. tried the id=main attribute and same effect... I just want to load all new links from the nav bar into the main element so the user doesn't need to reload the entire page again, it can keep it's design without any sudden changes, and most importantly save coding time. Anyone have any advice for this?

  • AC internal fan not running?

    We got a unit that sits outside and its running as per normal but the vent inside I noticed I didn't hear it sucking air in. I turnt the AC off and after awhile it turnt off and I switched the fan from auto to on and I could hear it humming but couldn't feel any draw at all. I switched it back to auto and put the entire unit back on and I could hear the external unit kick on and the internal fan start humming and saw the air coming out of the registers but the internal fan was still not pulling air in.

    Sorry if this is hard to understand I am not an HVAC guy and I honestly dunno anything about the units. It's blowing cold air but the internal fan has always spinned up with the unit so it leaves me worried.

  • Load center purchase help?

    I have old knob and tube wiring but I am removing all the old walls and updating to sheet rock walls which gives me a golden opportunity to do 2 major renovations: Remove the old knob and tube junk and replace it with some good old 14-2 and switch the exterior load center for an interior model (no more going out in a storm to re-flip the main breaker after a lightning surge). Now I am just a good old boy and I've done some light electrical such as replacing receptacles, light switches, installing ceiling fans, and splicing wiring in junction boxes but I m not licensed so a friend of mine said he would assist if I bought the box and ran the wiring where it needs to go. The issue is I am not familiar, at all, with different load centers (AKA breaker boxes where I live) I went online to find out which box would be the best fit for me but I am unsure. I have a 2 story home and a ton of rooms which I want to run each room with it's own breaker for receptacles, one for it's own light source and that is pretty much it other than the heavy hitters like water heater, fridge, washer, dryer, etc. so I know I want around 30-40 spaces, and I am sure at least a 200 amp box, but the boxes also have a various amount of "circuits" and I am unsure what that is... IE 200 AMP 10 space 30 circuit load center) at lowes.com I see a lower amount of curcuits to spaces, some equal in curcuit to spaces ratio, though often it is double the curcuits to spaces. What should I look for?

    I have insulated before but always a more recent construction. I am insulating my own home, which is over 100 years old and I am replacing the old light switches and before I threw insulation (R13 batts) into the wall wanted to make sure I can put insulation on these. I've never seen wires like these before or those little knob things so I am unsure what to do...

  • Are all moons part of their home planet?

    Couldn't find a way to ask in google and get any answer. As I understand it when earth was in it's cooling phase a large object hit the forming planetoid ejecting a large section of the molten mantle into space which became our moon. My question is thus: Other moons such as Jupiter's moons, are they a result of a similar event or did they form in another way? If another way how did they form? I also understand due to our inability to travel out that far the answers are possibly speculation and mathematics at best.

  • What else to teach my 2 year old?

    I have a little girl who just turned 2 a bit ago. She can identify body parts, she can do some of her ABCs (point to a letter and say it) but gets confused at times like point to her nose and say "ear" or point to A and say D etc but most of the time she says the right thing. She can count to 10 but can't identify the numbers mainly because I've focused on trying to get the 26 letters done before attempting the infinite number system. She can name and identify a ton of animals but other than that I am unsure what to teach her. This is our first child so I am not sure what else would be good to focus on.

    Other than that there are a ton of preschool websites with stuff thats beyond her level, is there any pre-pre-school websites, free ones, that I can go to on the laptop and go over with her?

  • Which stovetop conducts heat better - Glass or Coil?

    We are moving to a house with a preexisting glass counter-top stove. We have never had such a unit in all our time and as such we only have experience with metal coil units. I've googled this very topic but all Glass verses Coil topics are more on cost, fragility, and aesthetics.

    I am most interested in heat conduction because I would rather not stand at a glass top waiting for a pot of water to boil for instance which the coiled units could do in 10 and takes the glass unit 30 minutes or more. Exaggerated, I hope, but still this is the concern I have.

    Are the glass units as good or better or worse than a simple coiled unit. I can replace the unit if need be but I was hoping on some insight before I get a loan for household utilities.

  • Birth Control without loss of libido?

    So my wife and I had a daughter a little over a year ago and as the doctors pointed out her system would be a little off after the child. Well a year has passed and several issues have arisen.

    She has been quick to anger and very quick to go from 0 to volcano (anger wise) in an instant, just not the woman I married. As well her libido has damn near vanished.

    To give you an idea of the scope of the issue the depo shot has caused she used to be a very happy and even mannered individual and libido wise it went from multiple times daily to maybe once a week if I push for it. I recently began to suspect the Depo shot maybe the culprit, even though the OB-GYN said the only side effects would be weight gain and a change in flow, and did a little investigating and what I found was a ton of women complaining that not only did it destroy their libido but it caused a ton of mood swings and made them more exaggerated.

    I am not one to rush to judgment because of a few boards where the shot was blamed but due to how the flash anger fits and loss of sex drive is affecting our marriage I want to remove the shot and see if the problem clears up, if it doesn't after a year or more (most women stated it took a year to return to normal) we can go back but in the meantime is their ANY alternative that will not effect mood or libido? I saw a few IDU or IUD whichever claims to not effect but then more posts that said it had just as severe an effect as the alternatives. If need be we can go back to unprotected status since we never had a slip up in 7 years so I don't see any repercussions to that at least.

  • Questions about the Canon IP5000 Printer?

    We got an Ip5000 from my wife's father's belongings after he died. I gotta say this printer is a lot better than the one we had however the manual was sub-par about some aspects.

    The printer and documentation states it takes BCI-6(color initial) however when we got it it was loaded with BCI-3e(color int) which even showed up when I was searching for replacement ink. Why? Can it take both? Is the 3e for a different type of operation like photo printing?

    I also noticed it has 2 slots for black ink a small BCI-6BK(currently has a BCI-3eC loaded there for some reason) and has a larger BCI-3eBK(The only 3e that actually shows it belongs there) yet again I just wonder why... I have had a ton of printers in my life but all have had 2 simple carts one color and one black so its left me wondering because I don't want to go out and buy ink and find out its either A.) The incorrect type or B.) the 3e last longer or have a better quality.

    Lastly The printer has an inner cover that appears that something like photos would eject from however the plastic panel appears to be removable but there is nothing behind it and the documentation doesn't cover anything about it so any information about this would be appreciated.

  • Help with running PS3 save mod please?

    I recently repurchased Final Fantasy 13 for the PS3. Over time I noticed X360 games could be modded but not PS3s till I noticed a modder called PS3 Cheat Enabler. I got the program, loaded the keys, found the game and the cheats I wanted. Brilliant right? Most get stuck at the keys crap.

    Heres my issue, loading my save!!! I went to the save location within my flash drive and I have a DAT, PNG, PFD, and SFO file in the directory but the program, and a lot of similar alternatives, requires an EBOOT.BIN file(s). Which is NOT in that directory!!! I am completely new to modding save files for consoles so if anyone can help please give in depth details and links if possible.

    TeamSoS was nice enough to include nothing but a changelog but no tutorial or information so sorry I have to ask something like this. For those of you who read this and want to just bi**h about using cheats I have beaten the game ages ago so I am starting out anew but want an edge this time.

  • Does speed in space grow exponentially?

    I tried to find the answer to my curiosity in google but all I found were seriously physics heavy topics discussing getting to light speed or space folds. I just want to know the very basic answer to:

    Given space seems to have no buffers to slow you down like wind, gravity, friction, etc. does here on earth if you start off in space with a small force to propel you does your speed grow exponentially given you don't hit any gravity wells or eddies or any other such resistance that would be an obvious break in vorticity?

  • What should someone have prepared before they die?

    My mom just found out she has cancer and she doesn't plan to fight it. Here are some basic things I could think of before hand but since I got a few months to get things in order if anyone can add anything please do. I would rather take care of all this now rather than get surprised later and make a bad call.

    Things needed:

    Burial or cremation:

    Burial (plot, location, Epitaph), Cremation (Urn, Placard, Keep or distribute)

    Will

    Insurance policies

    Need to get little sister's guardianship legalized

    Need to discuss who acts as pallbearers and speakers at wake

    Need to set forward power of attorney: (Cancer can throw clots and cause mental disability)

    Signed DNR and DNI order (if wished)

    *Really no good place to put this question, damn it. Oh well cancer topic it is I guess.

    **Please no answers like "Tell her to get treated!" we already discussed this and she has thought about this and due to no health insurance all it would do is cause sever debt and has very low probability due to aggressive type of cancer.

Also gas giants, do we know of any that can have rings (saturnsque) or would the gravity be too dense for one to form?

From what I can gather you must be 18 or older and reside 3-5 years to apply for citizenship which is fine, however, I need to go there and get work and I never left the country (US) so I have no clue what I need at the boarder to enter and to get a job you need a SIN card which is given to citizens but what do those attempting to become canadian need to get a job and get started off? Is there any social programs to look into that could assist as I get onto my feet within this new land when I arrive? Any info links would be great.

  • Something similar to "Mr Smith goes to Washington"?

    I just finished the above mentioned and as with a lot of older movies the characters had strong personality, a strong story, etc not substituting for flashy eye candy. It left me wanting. Is there any really good movies with great speeches, strong messages, and all that jazz anyone can suggest?

    They gotta have the following:

    Age & production: I don't mind older flicks (since the above was 1939 it seems apparent) but its gotta be hollywoodish as indie type films suffer from just the low budget.

    American/English: I love subs but they do destract. I know there are some great foreign films but I would rather not spend 90% of the movie stareing at the bottom of the screen.

  • World of Warcraft low FPS issue help?

    Tech info at bottom;

    I am having an issue with my FPS dragging and graphics lag during raids and notice a drop with the portal animation at summoning stones.

    When I first encountered this issue I did some research and several people said it was an issue with multicore CPUs, however, everything on my system is the same except I exchanged my old 8500GT GPU for a BFG GTX 260 maxcore 55(old one died).

    The old GPU would only net me around 30-40 FPS in Dalaran, however, even in a raid with particle effects and everything except shadows at near full the FPS would be about the same as above mentioned but the video would never lag or anything.

    The new unit is awesome in Dalaran I get about 65 FPS but in a raid or if anything spellish (like the summoning portal at stone) occurs my FPS drop insanely to 12-28(lowering almost everything to very low still causes an FPS drop). This is also very laggy vid. Anyone got any clue what I can do to fix this like in "Manage 3D settings" or something?

  • How can I add more SATA ports?

    My last PC was a Gateway (3 years old!) and the heat sink mount broke in the night and by morning the PC was toast. All the components are still good though. I got a Gateway SX2800-01 which would service my needs.

    Keep in mind, however, I did eject the mobo, HDD, and DVD and transfered them into a real case (a Ambec). The problem I encountered was I still have another HDD or 2 I want connected but the PC only supplies 2 SATA interface connections. My last had 5 so I never had this issue.

    The PC has a GTX 275 in the big PCI-E x16 slot so I onl;y have 1 slot remaining a small/short PCI-E x16 slot. Would I be needing a PCI-E to SATA raid controller?

    I don't want to go out and buy one at bestbuy or something just to find those do not function as I want them to.

  • HDD failure or something else?

    Last night I was muccing about youtube when the IE8 froze upon clicking a video. Waited for a bit, Hit the good old "C+A+Del" to no avail, held the power button for a few secs to see if that would push the PC past the freeze but still nothing so I held till power off.

    Restarted and the BIOS didn't recognize the HDD, restarted and it saw it, told to start windows normal but froze solid at slide bar load (vista). Power started again and tried safe, solid freeze again. even tried the factory restore disk and the PC just crawls like a &^$#$$ and freezes constantly, took a hour just to get to repair options which didn't help.

    Basically after that I attempted the ear and hand test. The HDD doesn't shake or viberate violently. I feel nor hear nothing metallic. The HDD is as quite and steady running as always which, from what I have read, says "Working drive" but I just can't get anything to go as far as the drive goes.

    Not that it matters but I am running vista 32x, gateway PC, the HDD itself was a SATA Western Digital 500GB, 7200, blah blah blah basic specs pretty much. Anyone got the answer to this puzzle and possible solutions. (At the moment I have another HDD with an OS within the PC for diagnostics so I can mess with the old drive if I can get it to work)

The current add-on only saves maybe 15 characters due to (design?) so I want to add a section to the bar called "Realm" or "server" for less clutter and more storage. Any ideas?

  • Raptor flowchart validation question?

    I am having an issue in attempting to work on a sales tax program for my programing theory class. I am making a sales totaling program so all the input should be numberical.

    I wanted to enter a validation loop that checks if the veriable entered was just the enter key, incase the user accidentally hits enter before entering a value. Problem is raptor enters a value of "" into the veriable which is a string value so I can't use !="" because if it sees a numerical it "Can't compare values" and crashes the program.

    Is there anyway, in raptor, to set the "enter" button to a certain value or ask something that won't cause a crash. I KNOW other, real, languages have validation rules that easily allow this however we are being asked to use raptor so anything that can help please share :P
