How can I get my footer to render properly in IE 6&7?

I've been successful in overcoming several other problems that appear in IE 6&7, but I have a footer div that contains two elements to create left and right content. In every browser these appear as they should, but in IE 6&7 the left element drifts into the center. I'm sure it's something simple, but I haven't found a solution

I don't have time to fix all the problems on that page. So let's just focus on the Footer code.
Copy and paste this into a new, blank html document. I took out the height, APDivs and replaced them with Floats. Tested and works in IE6,7,8, latest FF 3.6.7 and Chrome with increased and decreased text sizes.

How can i get the footer bar to stay, whilst page scrolls?

how can i get the footer bar to stay, whilst page scrolls?
at the moment, on my site, if the page is longer than the screen, it goes behind the footer,
but the foot bar moves up the page as yo scroll down to see the rest of the content.
any way of getting the footer to stay put, while body/page contant scrolls ?
thanks

You can use some css to do it...
#footer_id {
position:fixed;
bottom:0px;
<div id="footer_id">Your footer content</div>
The css above will lock your footer to the bottome of the browser window. As long as your footer <div> is last in your html, it will float over the top of everything on your page when the page is scrolled. If it's not last in the html, you'll need to add a z-index to get it on top of your other content in the stack.

I REALLY hate the page up/page down functions that automatically loaded with the program. I LIKE to use my page up/page down keys for web browsing. How can I get these keys to work properly, or any of the keys to work "normally" as I have in the past?

When using certain keys on my keyboard, they don't work like they are "intended" to be used. I HATE how Firefox has changed those functions without my request. How can I get my keyboard to function as it "should"?
Thank you.

How can I get my foot in the door in the world of SAP consulting?

I live in the U.S. but have the opportunity to work for Fujitsu in India in an entry-level position. I haven't yet been able to get a similar offer from a company in the U.S. Do you think it is worth moving half way around the world, work there for a year or two, and hope that I gain the experience and knowledge necessary to land a descent job here in the U.S.? Or do you think that it would be too much hastle and it would be best if I kept trying my luck here?
I'm curious to hear you guys' thoughts!

Hi Akshay,
as you don't know where your future is, so i think you have to grab this oppurtunity. while in USA you have seen millions of people who have just walked there to get a good oppurtunity, so it never matters
how far you are from your home to start your career, that menas if you are getting a good oppurtinity
to work with, you should take it on priority basis, it might become a fruitful decision for you.
And as you are saying that "should i stay here at USA to look for another option", dear its upto you.
If you think you can find a better oppurtunity there, then you can stay, but droping an oppurtunity sometimes creates a problem, so i will not suggest it to you.
Now, you can talk to your family and ask what they wants, i think you are so smart to choose the best
option , rather than asking to others.

How can I get my site to render current page version, not the cached version?

To disable browser caching for a web page, try adding the following code to the Head tag of the page:
To add the same:
1) Open the page with Muse
2) From the Page menu, select Page Properties

How can I get my ipod touch to properly sync all my songs, when it keeps stalling in different stages and hours later doesn't sync all the songs I checked?

I can't seem to get all my songs and playlists that are checked to sync to my ipod touch. The ipod has been troublesome since the first round of updates. It was originally set on "itunes match", but it was dropping songs for some reason and since the wifi only operates when I'm in a place where wifi is available, I can't download the songs again while I'm on the road. I turned off itunes match and plugged it in to my computer to sync it that way, and it keeps stalling in different stages of the sync process. After hours and hours of being stuck, it "completes" without syncing any of my playlists that I checked.

Try a low level reformat of the iPod's hard drive to possibly try and repair some of its damage. Use the instructions in this article to walk you through the process.

How can I get Firefox to load pages properly and stop asking me to add every single page I visit as a "security exception"?

I just downloaded the newest version of Firefox today because it is required for some of the websites I need for my college courses. However, every single website I go to (even the Mozilla site, Google, etc.) says that there's an "untrusted connection." On some sites I have an option between "Get me out of here!" or to add this particular site as a security exception. As you can probably imagine, this is very time consuming and frustrating. I have uninstalled the program (clean uninstall) and reinstalled it. I have reset Firefox, and nothing helps. The problem persists in Safe Mode as well. Along with this issue, every website I manage to get access to is all kinds of messed up. Modules are missing, or the whole page is blank. It can sit there for an hour and nothing loads. I have a good internet connection and fast processor. I was using Chrome before, and Internet Explorer with no issue. About two years ago I used Mozilla Firefox on this same computer and had no issues. I have a 64-bit system, which is the only issue I can think might be causing this problem. I have gone through and tried changing just about every setting, and nothing has helped. I am at my wit's end because I have homework to do and can't because of this problem.

Glad it is fixed. Thanks for posting back, (even if we are not sure exactly what happened).

How can I get quiz scripts to pull properly.... Using CP 6 with Infosemantics Drag & Drop Widget

I'm modifying a course which is composed of 4 mini-quizzes with each section having a results slide which gives you your cummulative score. This course was created by my predecessor. The course was previously published, loaded to our LMS, and used by new hires to test their knowledge and abitliy to locate information. In it's original state the course works and the Results slides score and coaching messages display as they should.
Now that I need to update the course, I've discovered that the first section was built using a Drag&Drop widget. I didn't make any changes to the section built using the widget. Unfortunately, the Results slide for this mini-quiz section has become a problem when the user gets a score of 0 or 10 points. Instead of getting a message that reads, "Keep Trying!" (0 points) or "You're Doing OK!" (10 Points) they get a "Perfect Score!" message.
Notice the scoring is correct for the section it's the messaging that's wrong. Since this is only happening with this one part of the quiz I'm assuming that there could be something wrong with the widegt.
Any input would be appreciated.

Rod Ward was very helpful in aiding in the fixing widgets that outdated due to a version update. However, this fix does note resovle my original problem. In short, the widget Drag/Drop was never the problem with the scoring/scripting issue. Can anyone give me insight as to why a course that has used by our learner population previously would stop functioning properly.
Reminder:
1. I made minor edits to the course in question. none of my edits impacted the section that is not functioning properly.
2. Currently, learners would get a "Perfect Score" script if they scored 0, 10, or 30 points. "Perfect Score", in this first section should only display at 30 points while 0 points should yield "Keep Trying" and 10 points should yield "You're Doing Ok" responses.
Any Thoughts!

TS1587 How can I get my Mac to run properly when it starts up and goes into a Gray Screen?

To cut a long story short here's basically what happened:
Had problems with signing into my Mac, not quite sure what happened. So after a lot playing around with some stuff, I tried to run a Start Up disk, which is now stuck in my Mac and it just goes to a GRAY screen everytime I go to power up my Mac. Have tried all sorts to get it going, but to know avail. There's not even a start up Chime. HELP PLEASE Thanks in advance.

No startup chime is usually the sign of a hardware failure. If you have an installer disc (or if the disc that's stuck in the optical drive is an installer disc) then you need to try booting from it. But the first thing you need to do is:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Next:
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If you can get this far, then you may be able to reinstall OS X without erasing the drive. But you will need to tell us what version of OS X you are using.

How can I get cursor keys to work properly in Excel under Mavericks?

I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks on a 24" iMac, with wired Apple USB keyboard and mouse. The cursor keys do not work properly in Excel 2011 - instead of navigating through the spreadsheet, they move the spreadsheet up, down, or sideways within the active window. Booting in safe mode did not help. All software is up to date. The cursor keys work as they should in other apps. I have also tried this with peripherals disconnected but that made no difference. Suggestions, anyone?

Need more information. The drop down calendars are a custom JavaScript that has been developed by a number of different people and use many different methods so without which one and how you implemented it ion the form it hard to determine what is going on.

How can I get my iPod to sync properly when it gets stuck on 'waiting for changes to be applied' during syncing

My iPod gets stuck at this point every single time I sync it and it will not sync again unless I factory reset it. It also will not sync on Wifi because apparently it is 'waiting for "HP"' (is that my HP laptop? Who knows...). I am syncing on a Windows 8 laptop (since having Windows 8, I have had this issue). Google hasn't provided me with any answers.

Same thing has been happening to me and I havent been able to find a fix. Itunes has basically rendered my phone uselsee. It wont see it, let alone sync it.

How can i get my ipod to work properly?

My ipod is not charging at all when connected to the adapter or to my mac. when i connect to the charger either the battery sign comes up with the connect to power symbol. or the apple sign keeps flashing on and off. it doesnt charge. I already tried to reset it but it doesnt let me. I need help?

I'm assuming from what you have said that your iPod is in recovery mode. This is the logo that says connect to iTunes. Hold the home and sleep button down for 10 seconds and the device will be in recovery mode.
Try plugging the iPod into a different computer with iTunes installed and you might be able to restore your iPod. If this doesn't work take it to an Apple store and they will be able to help you.
