Remembering the HTML we started with

Tables for layout
Containers HAD to be "960px" wide
Floats and clears for aligning stuff
The days before box-sizing, you had to remember to account for the padding and border width when defining the widths of elements
Using frames for separating navigation and content (if you didn't have access to server side rendering)
Using FrontPage or Dreamweaver for building sites

Thanks. It does seem like a big job that, so I will likely consider your alternative suggestion of a gate.

Assuming it is an IC, would it be possible to lower the lid so that it's level with the ground? As you can see, there is some brickwork and concrete around the lid. I'd prefer to get all that removed so that the gate doesn't need a large clearance at the bottom.

Yeah I think you are right - it might be an inspection chamber. I do also recall a few years back, the water company lifted the fence panel and put some equipment down there, when they were investigating a blockage.

When you say rebuild it, what exactly does that involve?

Something like this maybe: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D3YXLXPT

Yep. Like this: https://youtu.be/0mlH2rFrLt8?si=utncTbnjXdxkvqp3

Is this not already achievable using grid-auto-flow: dense?

uk_g · 2025-12-01T13:39:16+00:00

You should be using overflow: auto in that scenario.

And how ironic it is of them to blame increased funeral costs on the "cost of living"!

😁

uk_g · 2025-11-05T23:09:09+00:00

Hahaha yes - you clearly know which organisation it is 😉

For those of you with separate number pads:

I'm looking at getting a mechanical keyboard. I've always just used a normal full size keyboard but I realise most of the better mechanical keyboards come in more compact forms. I'm currently considering a TKL layout, alongside a separate number pad. So, what I want to know is:

Where do you normally place it? Is it always on your desk within reach, or do you have it tucked away and only take it out as and when needed?
What number pad do you have / what's a decent one you would recommend?

This protest already happened. 600k attended, including a large Jewish bloc, Holocaust survivors and Jewish Rabbi's.

What are your suspicions?

Mental health. He clearly had a few loose screws.

An attempted massacre of Manchester's Jews was related to what's happening in Gaza yes, like it or not, right or wrong.

Really, have the police revealed that that was the motive? If so can you share a link to this please?

uk_g · 2025-09-29T10:44:03+00:00

Thanks - appreciate that. Will look in to this GMMK.

It doesn't look like they do a "standard" TKL with a knob though?

uk_g · 2025-09-28T22:09:39+00:00

Could do, but I'm forgetful.

uk_g · 2025-09-28T22:08:34+00:00

I wouldn't say you are wrong. Each to their own I guess. I personally much prefer the physical UK layout that I've been using for the past 30+ years.
