Open Office 2.0 Released
Oct 22nd
I was pleased to spot that the final version of Open Office 2.0 has been released. For the unitiated it’s an open source office suite which is compatible with Microsoft Office.
The major benefit is, of course, that being open source, it’s also free!!
Check it out for yourself at OpenOffice.org: Home.
Really Odd Bug.
Oct 21st
I’ve just had one of the most frustrating hours of my life with a really odd bug on a website.
I’ve been working up sample pages on a new site I’m working on and I needed to put in a square image 250px by 250px. This shouldn’t be a problem and, indeed, everything was fine and dandy on my local computer. The problem came when I uploaded the page to the web. The image simply would not appear – the img tag containing it wouldn’t even appear in the source code (and I tried it in FF, IE6 and Opera).
In the end I tried putting different images elsewhere and then in the same spot on the page and there was no problem with any of them. In the end I took the tag containing one of the other images and changed the filename. The image appeared, at last, but was skewed because I hadn’t changed the dimensions from the other image. I changed the height and width back to 250 and, hey presto, it disappeared again!!
In the end, my initial work around has been to set the size of this particular image in the CSS for the page (it comes in a particular containing block) and leave the width and height attributes out of the HTML tag. When I have more time I’ll have to test it out a bit more thoroughly. It certainly has me completely baffled.
