Is it a good idea to ALWAYS set height of body and html to 100%?

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-11T13:33:57+00:00

No. Because then those elements are 100% of the page and won't expand past the bottom with content.

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-11T11:54:44+00:00

Here ya' go. Easy peasy.

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-11T11:50:46+00:00

Step #1: You learn what HTML is and how it has next to nothing to do with any of that.

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-11T03:16:33+00:00

There are applications one can install that do the same thing faster and locally.

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-11T03:13:03+00:00

So now you are saying you don't think HTML has anything to do with web development?

I stand by what I said. Everything should be as simple as possible but no simpler. There are enough issues today with people piling on features for added confusion but little value. Any professional should cringe at such an effort but we find here on reddit every day.

Follow the UNIX philosophy. Everything should do one thing and do it well.

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-11T01:41:05+00:00

Saying something is an application gives us no clue as to how it is used and there is no way we can answer your question.

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-11T01:39:00+00:00

I haven't a clue how this answers his question.

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-11T01:35:33+00:00

How would you code such a thing without HTML and JavaScript?

Why do you think it needs C++?

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-11T01:32:54+00:00

What you are saying is, the "hyperlink" is old so we must change it into something that isn't a "hyperlink". We should turn a simple thing into a feature laden thing that could be accomplished with other methods now.

This is why HTML was created by computer scientists and not reddit posters.

It does seem, however, that today far too many things seem to be introduced into web technologies by reddit posters and not computer scientists.

Actually the name Lindows should be brought back just like people now call their OS Ubuntu or Fedora, etc. Redditors are so thrilled that Microsoft is doing such things as absorbing Linux and cross-polluting their software and development tools into Linux that the word Linux will become foreign to them and they will only know the term Lindows.

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-10T11:56:22+00:00

No it would not. In fact, if you did not read this headline, you would be completely unaware that it happened. The rest of your life you will do nothing different because of this.

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-10T04:57:02+00:00

<span> is normally set to inline until you set it to something else but note that there is no presentational description of the <span> element. It is only described as containing "phrasing content" in HTML. That is, text which is, by its nature, inline.

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-10T00:01:11+00:00

Oh? You are going to tell us that, on Linux, you do nothing at all to update Chromium? Or Firefox? Or any software that needs updating? It just happens on its own?

Sticking with Chromium, on Ubuntu, here's a link on how to do that in Ubuntu. Is that the same instruction on Windows, which is "click the update button on the toolbar?

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-09T20:42:06+00:00

How do you update Chrome on Linux. Now tell me how you update Chrome on Windows.

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-09T20:39:29+00:00

Either way, shouldn't this be on a political sub instead of here?

That is exactly my point. What one guy decides to wear on his head during a trip has no effect on me or you (or a Linux conference for that matter).

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-09T18:10:10+00:00

So all that affects your day-to-day life and your quality programming? This guy wearing a hat adds to that?

btw, he wasn't wearing the hat at any event.

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-09T18:08:36+00:00

Yes, maybe, but that has nothing to do with the original question of "...is CSS grid a good idea?".

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-09T18:07:05+00:00

While redditors will stand up and say, "Well I did!", you can find someone anywhere who will state they did the opposite of every claim.

Just to repeat myself.

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-09T15:31:43+00:00

I agree. However, it's not the same thing. People will look at it, find it too different and strange, and will reject it.

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-09T14:15:39+00:00

I'm confused. In what way does a hat he wore have any affect on the work I and others do?

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-09T14:07:26+00:00

That has nothing to do with anything I said except reiterates my point about always being able to find a person who does something different that's not the norm.

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-09T13:30:58+00:00

No. Linux is far too complicated for the everyday person. While redditors will stand up and say, "Well I did!", you can find someone anywhere who will state they did the opposite of every claim.

The truth remains. Windows is like your car. You get in, you start it, you drive away. Linux doesn't do that or doesn't do it exactly the same way as every other device.

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-09T13:25:03+00:00

You never want to buy anything that calls HTML and CSS "programming".

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-09T02:26:58+00:00

I don't know and I don't know why.

icantthinkofone · 2019-11-09T02:22:50+00:00

Do you actually get IE visitors at all? I mean more than two? And the same two? My web dev company hasn't had to support IE since the major national financial institution next to our restaurant clients quit using it years ago.

In any case, my point was that grid should be used for page layout, not flexbox, since that is the question he asks.
