DideC:  Heres some sample CSS that creates  a box midstream and provides 
scrollbars automatically....
	.T3area3
	{
		padding-right: 10px;
		padding-left: 10px;
		left: 160px;
		padding-bottom: 10px;
		margin: 0px;
		vertical-align: top;
		overflow: auto;
		width: 642px;
		padding-top: 10px;
		position: absolute;
		top: 0px;
		height: 490px;
	}

We have a template based dynamic site here at work,  we use a base 
page to define the common logic, we use CSS "templates" to define 
the areas of different pages... the above code is Template 3 area 
3, which is the body area for a page that has a header, left navigation, 
body, and footer area.

Thank's Brock. I need to test that. What element do you use with 
this style ? DIV ? Any example ;-) ?

<span id="lblArea3" class="T3area3">......content here....</span>

Why doesn't my browser (Opera) refresh CSS files if I hit reload? 
I get a refreshed HTML page but the CSS isn't refreshed... any idea 
how to enable refreshing?

Sometimes I need to refresh twice -- but usually CSS is well cached 
(so you only have to download a stylesheet for a site once)

Usually F5 works  a hard refresh in Opera.

Otherwise check your setting for tools/preferences/history and cache/check 
documents/always  (precise path may vary according to version of 
Opera)

Try control-F5.  In IE it is a "stronger" refresh than just F5. So 
it might be similar on Opera.

keyboards should be velocity sensitive .. like some midi keyboards. 
 hit them harder to get a stronger effect!

Graham. Yes! Would like to map other things to. Like.. 1 hard thump 
== ctrl-alt-del

You could get bold uppercase type without using the shift key that 
way maybe... but that might not be desirable due to high sensitivity 
needed.

Keyboards leave a lot to be desired. I would like to see the often-used 
technique of copy and paste to be given more prominence on the keyboard 
(and supporting OS).

(for example).

Hey, I like the dynamic keyboard idea :-)) We should patent this. 
But knocking F5 through my laptop didn't work :-)) I cleared the 
cache. Seems to happen if CSS files are named the same.

I have some patent work started on an internet keyboard some time 
back...if there is some seriousness, I am interested to start a joint 
project/business with a few interested people.

BTW, funny these keyboard ideas poured in today...like Terry's * 
circle key idea...I was just trying to select-all and copy ... is 
there a key shortcut for this?

besides cntrl-A then Cntrl-C

and all I want from kb is one that doesn't come with the number pad 
on the right. It makes the mouse 'sits so far away'.

yes, that is an important problem...which noone has solve yet properly 
(as my patent searches revealed to me...;-)

I don't understand why kb manufacturere wants to include that in. 
How many of us use the number pad more often than the main alphabet 
part?


just remove it.... cuts down material cost and can still sell at 
same price.

me ....

very often - I nearly NEVER us numbers on main keyboard - the reason 
is simple - with foreign languages like Czech, you have to hold shift 
down ....

I was just shopping for kb today... but end up with nothing. Could 
not find one that fits my needs

my invention fixed yeksoon's problem, without affecting Pekr's pecking.

I am interested to find a good Mechanical person who wants to work 
on a manufacturable version with me.

Yeksoon, I agree. Numpad also throws the kb offcenter relative to 
user. Not good for laps.

Become left-handed and it's solved :-))

no

The mouse has always been a rather clumsy context shift for the user...;-)

either add some btns on left to balance it out

or take it off

mouse <--> keyboard is too much of a context shift the way they are 
at present.

It's really funny, I never had this problem because I have my mouse 
on the left side of the keyboard.

i did that too for years

One of the very, very rare cases a left-handed person has an advantage...

(on tablet - slow)

must get mic for speech input

Tablet's (or better all hand recognition) software is something that 
doesn't work for a left-handed. I write the characters the other 
way. The SW can't handle it :-))

tablet IS slower than paper...;-)   I forget what I was going to 
'write" with the pen in the 4 minutes it takes XP to boot...

So, just one of those very, very common problems...

I tried to train speech on tablet by reading the fairy tale in the 
XP tablet tools...it never recognized anything I spoke (I know my 
speech is tough to understand) but even if I said "blah blah blah 
blah" the tablet acted like it understood me reading the fairy tale. 
 Maybe there is a better version.

Carl - no laptop has numpad :-) Or those dozens I worked with ....

I call my internet keyboard "The Surf-BoardTM" ... ;-)

In fact - I never found use for additional keyboard buttons as handling 
sound, player, custom apps launch, sleep and I don't touch mouse 
if I don't have to .... there must be something strange with me ...

I even have special keys for cut, copy and paste, but I am used to 
old way ctrl + particular-button ....

ah, I have tried some other keyboads, like with the special buttons, 
the wireless part of WebTV was nice...but for sure we need to have 
REBOL embedded in a wireless keyboard...that would be nice.

just found out that Logitech does have a 'diNovo'  but the retail 
price is on the high side 

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/CA/EN,CRID=1,CONTENTID=7321

The problem with special keys and its usage is, that I don't want 
to use such special keys - I do use many PCs actively, notebooks, 
and once some PC does not have such keys, it slows my process of 
work ...

yeah, Logitech doesn't get it either...I have read lots of laptop 
keyboard patents...;-)

The problem with many keyboards is that they are not risc-- they 
need to focus on the most frequent actions .
