When is it a good idea, if ever, to use the font tag?

Wonder if there is ever a need to use the <font> tag since it is deprecated in HTML 3.801.
<font size="3" color="red">This is some text!</font>

(sidenote: this was a trick question...it was deprecated in HTML 4.01   )
I'm still on my first cup of coffee, but wasn't it deprecated in 4.0?
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40-971218/present/graphics.html#h-15.2.2
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/present/graphics.html#edef-FONT
And obsoleted in 4.01 Strict (recommended since 1999)
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#version-info
and obsolete in XHTML 1.01 (if not XHTML 1.0)?

    Hi screen name,
    Adobe PDF printer gets installed when you install Acrobat 10 Pro.
    To use this printer you need to purchase Acrobat. Once the trial period is over you cannot use the printer to create pdf files.
    An alternative way for you is to utilize Microsoft's own inbuilt pdf engine.
    You can simply open the file and select 'Save as' and in the type list select 'pdf'
    Please refer : http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/excel-help/save-as-pdf-HA010354239.aspx

    Use Software Update to update your os to 10.6.8 and anything else that needs to be updated.  After the installations go to /Library/Preferences - trash the com.apple.Preview.plist file.  Repair permissions, restart your computer and empty the trash.  Your Preview issue should now be resolved.

  • When is adobe muse going to be able to use the ecommerce features in business catalyst?

    when is adobe muse going to be able to use the ecommerce features in business catalyst? I need to figure this out asap. my client is using one of your templates in business catalyst but we are designing the new site in muse. How do I transfer over there current ecommerce products over to my muse design?

    Attitude? No attitude. Just facts.
    As to:
    why is there a full version of Photoshop available on NON mac products now if that is the case?
    That would be because ADOBE wrote and released a version of it for those devices.
    Complain to Adobe and tell them you want iOS versions of the apps. Apple has nothing to do with it.

    When I try to Reinstall Mac OS X Lion using the Recovery by choosing the partition, I got an error message saying that it protected. What should I do?

    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

    To prevent this, the only thing you can do is to create another Apple ID for your wife or you, so you will have your information separated. Anothe roption is to allow your wife or you to use iCloud, and the other one should not use iCloud, so in this case the information won't get mixed
    Nice Mende, I didn't even think of that.

  • When is it a good idea to use SingleThreadModel?

    Can anyone tell me a concrete example of when the SingleThreadModel is a better idea then simply using the default behaviour and synchronizing critical code?
    Thanks,

    I certainly cannot. It's inefficient and only helps in single-threading instance variables, which you shouldn't be using to pass info between methods anyway. You still need to synchronize on external resources. Besides that, it's deprecated in Servlet spec 2.4. Don't ever use it.

  • Newbie question: Why is "learn sound model" greyed out when trying to remove background sounds in a file using the Spectral Frequency display?

    I am trying to remove background sounds in a file using the Spectral Frequency display. The first edit on a new file, this process works fine:
    1. use brush to cover sound
    2. right click, learn sound model
    3. effects/noise-reduction-restoration/Sound Remover
    The next time I try to remove another sound in the file, "learn sound model" is greyed out. I have to close the file and reopen to be able to make another edit. What on earth is going on? Can it only learn one sound model or something?
    I'm a newbie, so thanks in advance for your advice!

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • When I try to forward a PDF file by using the email button on the toolbar, it won't send.

    I cannot always forward a PDF using the email button on the toolbar.  For example, I get a report forwarded to me as a link.  When I open the link, the document opens as a PDF.  I use the email button on the toolbar to forward the document as an attachment.  Outlook pops up as a new message with the attachment.  I finish writing my email and hit the "send" button and I get an error saying the doucment couldn't be sent.  If I close the email and save it as a draft, I can open the draft copy and it will send.  Is there someway to fix this so I can eliminate these extra steps?  This has happened on a computer with Adobe Reader as well as a computer with Adobe Acrobate 9 Standard.

    Is that the exact message that Outlooks gives you?
    Anyway, why don't you just forward the original link to the document, instead of the PDF itself?

  • Error when moving a mailbox from one database to another using the EMS

    Error "The database is excluded from provisioning.Please Select a different target database for the move"
    Above is the Error i get when moving a mailbox to another database on the same Exchange mailbox Server 2013 using the EMS 

    Hi MikeVATX,
    Using the EMS I ran the Command
    below,
    Get-MailboxDatabase DBName | select name,*provision*
    The result displayed that the Parameter IsExcludedFromProvisioning was set to True which i had to set to false by running the command below as per your guide.
    Get-MailboxDatabase -Identity DBName | Set-MailboxDatabase -IsExcludedFromProvisioning
    $ False
    Then i was able to move the mailboxes. 
    It now works fine.Thanks for that solution.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ronald

  • I have problem when opening a pdf page, my mouse control is hijacked to that tab when im on other tab, i cant scroll or use the middle rollling button, i have to click at the pdf tab then my control over the mouse middle button is restored.

    I think I have this problem even on earlier version. The thing is I set open link in new tab and not switch over to the opened tab. My habit is to open a pdf page in the background and let it load first. What happen is that when the pdf page finished loading ( i do not set to download it), it hijacks my middle mouse button control. When i scroll down or scroll up on my original tab, it wont scroll on the tab, but insttead it scrolls on the pdf tab. I have to click on the pdf tab, then i can use the scrolling function on other tabs back. As for when i opened several pdf tabs, it seems i have to click on the tab that just finished loading, that means several times until they all finish loading. It has been getting on my nerve lately. And all pdf trouble i search from google led to unable to open pdf, firefox hang or crash when opening a pdf and the likes.

    core-el, i don't see the advantage of that or i can't figure out how i'm supposed to use it. for starters, i have to click the mouse in order to get "add bookmark here" to open, which is no different than clicking on the star in the location bar, or right-clicking on the page. there are also options in the bookmarks toolbar, but they all require clicking the mouse & holding down the right button, etc.
    my goal is to use keystrokes only. typing on the keyboard, using both hands, using the space bar & my left pinky finger to tab over are all painless routines for me. as soon as i have to take my fingers off the keyboard & use the mouse, the pain begins.
    as i said, in older versions of firefox, all i had to do to bookmark a page was click ctrl>d, then tab over & arrow down, when appropriate, to find the folder & add the bookmark. for me, as a touch-typist whose speed is between 60 & 80 wpm, this is lightning fast.
    if i have this wrong, please correct me. i just see it as more mouse clicks that don't save me time or pain.

  • I want to know how to change it so when i open a folder full of bookmarks it uses the current bookmark as the first of the group again.

    Before updating from version 7 to 8 when i went into my bookmarks, and right clicked on a folder and clicked "Open All In Tabs" it would use the current bookmark that i had open as the first of these in the folder. It would then open the folder's bookmarks to the right of that current bookmark.
    I can accept that it no longer opens the group to the right of the current tab easily enough. What annoys me is that it no longer uses the current tab to open the bookmarks. I would like to know how to change this option.
