Question:
Dear Dr. Website:
I would like to wrap my text around an image in a table (like in a
professional newspaper). But it always starts at the bottom of the image.
How does this work, if it works anyway.
Thanks very much
Answer:
You can do this two ways...using a table with three data cells, one for
text, the next for the image and the next for more text. The other way is to right align the image...and wrap it all in a table cell to make it conform to a specific size, like this:
<TABLE WIDTH=300><TR><TD>
<IMG SRC="conformance_results.jpg" ALIGN=RIGHT HSPACE=5 VSPACE=5>
VoiceXML
renders voice actions and responses, as well as workflow for voice
applications in XML format. When you combine this with the VoiceXML 2.0 Speech Recognition Grammar Specification (SRGF), you can port complex Web applications to consumer voice applications with surprisingly little effort, after you've decided on a project's grammar formats and voice recognition standards.

Question:
Dear Dr. Website:
Excellent resource site you have, bookmarked it imediately. Here's my question. I want to start making downloadable pdf files available from my site as well as viewing them on my site with the acrobat toolbar embedded into the current page.
I've looked at 100 sites that do just that but for some reason I cannot duplicate this process. I uploaded the pdf's to my server, then include links for the pdf's in my html.
When I click on the link a new blank window opens then after a period of time I get a message that says file could not be viewed, file is damaged and cannot be repaired. Yet I am able to open the file in Acrobat locally on any machine. Whatz up?
Thank You for all the things I.ve learned from your site?
Thank you!
Answer:
Thanks for the kind words!! Now on to your question. It sounds like you need to set the MIME type for pdfs on your web server. The correct MIME type is:
application/pdf extension pdf
How you'll set it up will depend on the server you are using...Apache is set up one way, while MS IIS is set up another. Some host are set up so you can add your own MIME types by editing the htaccess file.
Of course this is all moot if you can successfully download and open a PDF file from your server from another browser or machine--if this is the case then you'll need to set up your web browser to handle the pdf file.
Thanks,

Question:
Dear Dr. Website:
When I make a link bar, my fonts don't look as good
as most I have seen. I use Adobe Image Ready's optimation tool. How can I get a clearer font?
Answer:
Essentially what you are after are sans-serif fonts. Serifs are those little "hooks" you see on text. The text you are reading now is (should be) sans-serif, so you won't see those "hooks" on this text. You can do this either directly, using FONT tags (i.e. FONT FACE="Verdana"), or you can create style sheets for your site, so that particular aspects of the site use particular styles. You'd do that like this:
In the head of your page you'd place the following:
<style TYPE="text/css">
<!--
.sml {
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
}
-->
</STYLE>
and in the body of your page, you'd use the "sml" class to style the fonts, like this:
<A HREF="yoursite.html"><I class="sml">yoursite</I></A> | <A
HREF="anothersite.html"><I class="sml">anothersite</I></A>
Then if you wish to change the font face, size, color, weight, etc. you'd do it in the style sheet. You can find out more about using style sheets here:
