Jon Stewart's "Talking Points" Piece from the Daily Show

[Goose3five]

Many of you were howling for Jon Stewart's piece on talking points last week. It is now online and I have made it easily available on my site at the following link Talking Points...

Enjoy!
(By the way, I do not make any money for getting click through's so feel secure you are not filling my pockets with dough)

8. It's on the Comedy Central site--great!

I've been checking their site for nearly a week--I guess they finally bowed to popular demand. Either that, or they've been lurking around here!

13. kick for content... bad for Firefox.

Dammit! I have to boot up I.E. to view this page? WTF!?!? people need to take more responsibility when coding pages so EVERYBODY can see the content w/out problems.

[Goose3five]

14. Any suggestions...

on how to code my page to work with Firefox? I am simply using a generic template I found on the web. Sorry, not a web developer by trade.

15. I'll take a look at your code and see what I can do for ya!

[Goose3five]

16. thanks...btw

here is a snapshot of the browsershare at my site:

19. That's normal...

As people will use whatever they are given with out question (Internet Explorer) However 17% of your visitors are not I.E. people... and 22% of your people are non-I.E. or not up to date I.E. people.

In other words, to 22% of your visitors, the page may or may not look the way you want them to see it. That equals turned off visitors.

I hope my advice has helped you, (Welcome to DU BTW!) and see my other posts below for other solutions.

17. You've got some tables breaking out of their constraints.

on line 61 you've got a width call for the table data tag (<td>) that's 140. then the Exception to the rulers table is set to 200 width. The BuzzFlash script wants a width of 150 that you can't do too much with, so maybe adjusting the style script to take that into account and set the tables in that left hand colum to a percentage of size (100% is best in this case)

Do this in all cases and change the setting your <style> </style> tags to the following:

#divMiddle {border-width:1px 1px 1px 1px; border-style:dashed; width:460px; font-size:10px; background:white;}
#divBlog {border-width:1px 1px 1px 1px; border-style:dashed; width:460px; font-size:10px; background:white;}
#divReferer {border-width:1px 1px 1px 1px; border-style:dashed; width:460px; font-size:10px; background:white;}
#divLeft {border-width:1px 1px 1px 1px; border-style:dashed; width:170px; font-size:10px; background:white;}
#divRight {border-width:1px 1px 1px 1px; border-style:dashed; width:250px; font-size:10px; background:white;}

Lines 60 to 68 (begins your page):
<table border=0>
<tr><td valign=top>
<div id="divLeft">
<table width=100% border=0><tr><td>
<p align="center">
<br>-- <a href="http://goose3five.blogspot.com/"><font color=#000000><b>HOME</b></font></a> --</center>
</td></tr></table>

<!-- Exception to the Rulers Begin -->

Around line 201, the main "body" of your blog:

<td valign=top>

<div id="divMiddle">
<table width=100%><tr><td>

after that, the third bar of your blog should begin as:

<td valign=top>
<div id="divRight">
<table width=100%><tr><td>
<div align=right>
<center>
<form><input bgcolor=white type="checkbox" name="targetnew" illegal code"targetLinks(this.checked)"> links open in new window</form></center>

18. BTW here's a demo of the adjusted code

Works well in both Mozilla/Firefox/Opera and I.E.

21. TV political news

The Daily Show is where I've been going for months for my TV political news. I'm sure we all know how CNN, FOX etc are as bias as hell. It's a nasty trend when a few months ago the West Wing changed from a group of decent people who were united in looking out for the best interest of the country to a group of disunited nasty self serving people. Now they are going to turn CSPAN into the new brain washing channel. After the houses debates were over one day, I saw a program ,(religion in politics), that said that if you weren't wealthy you were morally corrupt and that God made Mr. Bush president.
