How would i Achieve this without tables?

Hi
I have the need for 4 items in a grid on a fixed width page,
they need to be aligned both vertically, and horizontally. This
would be easy to Achieve with tables, but is there an elegant
solution in css?
The only solution i can think of is 2 divs stacked, each with
a nested (floated right) div.
Is there a more elegant solution?
Many thanks

There's nothing wrong with using a table for something like
this. Why not
just use a table?

  • I want to reset my bootcamp Windows 7 to factory setting. How would I do this without damaging or effecting my Mac data?

    I want to reset my bootcamp Windows 7 to factory setting. How would I do this without damaging or effecting my Mac data?

    If you want to erase the BootCamp Partition, you'd use the Bootcamp utility.
    Then that part of the Mac's hard disk drive may be available for use in OS X.
    {Or, if you want to install a clean Windows 7 in the same BootCamp partition
    you'd use the BootCamp utility to erase/install Windows in the same location.
    There is a BootCamp Support section in Apple Support online, and also there
    is a fairly OK ASC discussions area specific to that purpose. }
    But you may have to check to see if the partition map is correct for Mac OS X
    after you've used Bootcamp utility to remove Windows and the partition map.
    If you do not use the BootCamp utility to remove Windows, correctly or if a
    different method to install Windows was used, you'd have to move your Mac
    OS X system and applications off the computer to an external hard drive by
    use of a clone utility (carbon copy cloner, or superduper, etc) then use the
    OS X disk utility (from running clone, is easiest) to erase the computer's HD
    and then correctly partition map and format the hard drive for Mac OS X.
    At that point, the entire drive would be erased to reclaim any untouched
    partitions from alternative Windows utilities that were used, or not used in
    the time frame of proper opportunity.
    I've had a few Macs that had been partitioned for Windows and found one
    second hand MacBook to have more actual hard disk drive capacity than
    the previous owner and the Mac HD info suggested on first glance. About
    70% of the drive had been a Windows partition, but was invisible to OS X.
    So that turned out to be a lucky find, it was like installing a larger HDD.
    The wording of your question leaves a lot
    of important information out of the picture.
    Good luck!

  • Need to open .fcp  project from FCP7 in FCPX 10.0.3. How can I achieve this without exporting the original from FCP7 to a QT movie? I need the original timeline in FCPX.

    I have been working on a scholarship short film for a couple of months now (am a senior in high school) and have been using my school's Mac Pros with OSX 10.7 and FCP7 to edit it. Yesterday I bought a Macbook Pro and got FCPX, and am having trouble moving everything over (the computers at school are going to be wiped for the end of the year soon and I must continue to edit it on my MacBook). The project file "MattsShort.fcp" from FCP7 at school isn't even being recognized as a project file by the newest version of FCPX, so obviously I cannot open it and get to work connecting the media. How can I open this file in FCPX? Excluding exporting the project at school to a quicktime movie, I need to be able to further edit the timeline.

    Cool, thanks! I was able to import the timeline into FCPX but all of the files are offline, even though I imported the same exact clips that were in the original FCP7 project, into the same 'event' that I have the new FCPX timeline in. I believe the problem lies in that FCPX imported the clips and named them after the date and time they were created, rather than the "Clip #XXX" that FCP7 assigned to the timeline. Does this sound correct? And if so, is the only way to solve this problem to go back to FCP7 and rename all of the clips assigned to the timeline to the names FCPX gave them? I really hope there is a simpler solution but given all of the work it takes to even import a FCP7 project into FCPX, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the only solution.
    A little more info: When I use 7toX to convert the XML file, it says that my media will be offline.
    EDIT: I just watched a youtube video that explained that 7toX brings over the required media.....why isn't it doing that for me? I am on two different computers if I hadn't already said.

  • I want to open my bookmarks on the toolbar to a new tab. But when I click it, it replaces the webside I am browsing not to a new tab. How would I achieve this? Besides, I don't want to drag the icons. What I want is simply click it. Thank you.

    I am a new user of Firefox. I don't what is my edition but I just download it to my desktop yesterday.

    A middle-click on the bookmark should open it in a new tab. Alternatively there are quite a few tab related add-ons that give you the option to open bookmarks in a new tab. Some examples are:
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13784/ Open Bookmarks in New Tab]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122/ Tab Mix Plus]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59961/ Tab Utilities]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/14439/ Tabberwocky]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13288/ Super Tab Mode]
    The last 4 also add many other features relating to tabbed browsing.

    Hi OldRailroadMan,
    Here is one way. Start with a table with no fill (or white).
    Change the fill of the first two rows.
    Select cells in the first four rows.
    Drag the yellow Fill Handle down.
    For some reason this does not work if you select whole rows (by clicking on the row numbers at the left).
    When you are happy with the result, Menu > File > Save As Template.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • HT2534 I  don't have a credit card and would like to update facilities on my iPAD. How can I do this without a credit card?

    I don't have a credit card and would like to make updates on my iPAD. How can one manage this without a credit card?

    You use a debit card just like you use a credit card in iTunes. You have to enter the card number, security code and billing address as you would with a credit card when you set up the ID. You can make changes to your payment method in your account at any time.
    If you want to create an Apple ID without using a credit card you must first sign out of the Apple ID that you already created in Settings>Store>Your Apple ID.
    But ...you will also need another email address now if you already created an Apple ID, because that first email address is now associated with that first ID that you created.
    If you do have a debit card, you may just be better off entering that card information into your account and use that now. You don't need to even use the debit card if you can purchase iTunes gift cards and redeem those. I use iTunes gift cards exclusively now instead of using my credit card.

    Copy the content from one computer to another and import the media into iTunes.
    Any playlists, playcounts, etc on the computer the content is being moved from will be lost.

  • I deleted all my playlist by mistake from itunes. tried copying the to on the go on ipod and thought it would copy it on to my itune but it didn't. does any one know how i can do this without redoing all my playlists. thanks

    Are the playlists still on the iPod? If so I can probably cook up a script to read them back into iTunes, or you can check the features of the various tools listed at the end of this user tip to see if you can find one that you want to use.

    How to achieve this tree table ?
    My client wants that they should also be able to manage budge at Location or region level not only at the leaf(Dept) level.
    I did a lot of research and finally found out that the details can only printed at the leaf(Dept) level.......
    We can not hard code Region, locations and departments in table rows. When table tree is displayed we will only show all the regions... (US, UK, SA, IND, AUS, CAN,RUS, JPN.... etc..)
    For Example:
    Locations for US (NY, CA, OKH, WC...... etc.)
    Locaitons for UK (SC, ENG, WL..... etc)  and so on......
    Departments for CA (HR, IT, ADMIN, FIN, TRVL, OPRN........ etc. ..)
    Thanks in advance... It will be really great help if I get some breakthrough...
    -Rahul

    Hi,
    what if you add a transient attribute to those view objects? This way you don't need to change the table structure.

  • I had downloaded and used Final Cut Pro 7 (studio 3) on my mac, but it died. Can I download it to my new computer without buying a new copy? I'm not sure of the number of installations for academic copies. How would I do this?

    AH...good. 
    There is no limit on the times you can install it from the DVDs. There's just a limit as to being able to run it on multiple machines AT THE SAME TIME. If your old computer dies, or you sell it (please reformat the drive so they don't get FCP for free), then you can install on a new computer fine.  And you are allowed to install on (1) desktop and (1) laptop at the same time as well...but only use it on one machine at any given time. Meaning you can use it on the desktop at work, and then when away from the office, on your laptop.
    Long story short...you can install it fine without any issues.

  • HT204053 I use my iMac to help a friend with an IPAD and a different Apple ID to transfer their existing cps to iTunes on their iPad.  How can I do this without the content being merged into my own Apple ID Account

    I have an IMac which is my main computer and two IPads and an Ipod Nano.
    Obviously we use these in sync as an when required via Itunes.
    I have recommended a friend to have an IPAD2 and she wishes to load some of her existing cds into her Itunes Account.
    If I wish to do this with my own, it is simple as we simply use the Imac which transfers content into Itunes.
    However, my friend does not have a separate computer so I wish to load her CD's into Itunes and then sync to her Ipad without interfering with my own library and using her Apple ID.
    How can I achieve this?

    " how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

  • When I share a pages document as a PDF (via e-mail) all the pictures change from the original document, most are missing with just a few of them repeated in the spots where others had been.  How do I do this without the document changing?

    I need to be able to send it to a PC in order to print it.

    Hard to say what is happening without examining the file.
    If you like click on my blue name and email me both the .pages file and the the .pdf you have made from it.

    ps It would help to say what version of Pages you are using and on what you are running it. iOS or Mac and what version.

  • I want to delete my current exchange account. How can I achieve this and not lose stored information such as contacts, photos etc. please help. Thank you.

    I want to delete my current exchange account and replace it with my new one. How can I achieve this and not lose my contacts, photos, etc associated with this account? Please help..
    Thank you,

    Bad idea.
    What information do you want to share, exactly?  You can share contacts, reminders, and calendars with other iCloud users without the need for both of you to use the same iCloud account.  You can authorize both phones to use apps purchased under the same Apple ID without sharing an iCloud account.
    Sharing an iCloud account is a bad idea in general. There is too much opportunity for someone to damage or delete data that will affect both.

  • I backed up files onto an external hard rive form my old PC. Now I want to retrieve the files to put on my mac but it is telling me to format it to Mac. How can I do this without erasing all of the data on my hard drive?

    I backed up files onto an external hard rive form my old PC. Now I want to retrieve the files to put on my mac but it is telling me to format it to Mac. How can I do this without erasing all of the data on my hard drive?

    Your drive was used with a PC and formatted NTFS which is proprietary Microsoft format.
    You need to install a third party program that will read the NTFS format.
    There is various software from PARAGON, Tuxera and NTFS-3G
    When you get the data off and have verified it to be good, reformat the drive either HFS+ for Mac use only, or for Mac and PC use then MSDOS (FAT32) for under 4GB files (best) or exFAT (for larger than 4GB files) is proprietary and Microsoft is appling for a patent, which would likely mean OS X won't be allowed to read it anymore without a licensing fee and you'l have to pay another third party software company to read the format, just like NTFS is.
    The less you have to rely upon third party sources to read your drives the better, this way if you have a issue and need to read the drive on another machine you don't need the software, and a internet connection and a credit card and...and...and...
