Thank you! I really appreciate that!
Thank you so much!!
Now I have to remember which post I was trying to respond to, LOL
Enter the Minimalist It's what's on the donut...
With the proliferation of display devices, screens now come in a wide variety of sizes and aspect ratios. The image below illustrates the range of screens possible. Differing aspect ratios are shown on the diagonal lines with the ratio in circles towards the lower right.
Given the wide variation in screen resolution and size when we step from mobi to fondleslab to display to HDTV it is lunacy to specify screen position in term of pixels. There is no way to know what sized screen you are imaging to so it is best to reference screen sizes and positions in percentages instead. The resulting size is the percentage of the width (or height) of the enclosing container. This is most useful when specifying positions and sizes of tables and images. The HTML for the image above looks like:
<img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/44/Vector_Video_Standards5.svg" width="95%">
The
width="95%"
part sets the image width to 95% of the width of the enclosing container. We leave the height unspecified so that the computer will figure out the correct value so as not to distort the image. If you wish to distort the image you may specify a height as well.Things that are text related, such as the whitespace around a paragraph or header and text sizes are best specified in
em
. Oneem
was originally the width of an M in the current font. In a multi-lingual world where not all alphabets have an M in them, the meaning has evolved to mean the height of the current font. As the user changes the magnification on a page the size of anem
changes with it. This produces a pleasing scaled effect to the eye not possible when spacing objects in pixels.Other unit values available are
in
inch,cm
centimeter,mm
millimeter,ex
x-height of a font (x-height is usually about half the font-size),pt
point - 1/72 of an inch,pc
pica - 12 points andpx
pixels - a single dot on the screen. If no units are specified pixels are used by default. Best results across the broad spectrum of displays are achieved by exclusively using em and percent to specify size and distance. Try not to do anything else.

Good Afternoon/Evening.
Is there someone who could help me out get the HTML set up in regards to the upcoming Mark Levin book, “Plunder And Deceit”, which is going to be out in the bookstores on August 4, 2015. Can at least one of these JPG threads be converted to a working HTML thread picture. Thank-you for your response ahead of time. :) =^..^=

Bump for HTML reference.

I don’t know where to ask this so I’m starting with you as you seem very knowledgeable...re Bookmarks...I thought they were saved in alpha order...but mine are not...is there some rhyme or reason to the saved bookmarks? Mine seem random. Thanks.
Which browser are you using? Typically (in Firefox), they are saved in the order you create them, or within folders you create.
Do you even use Safari? Is Firefox your preferred browser? If so, please share why.
TIA.
I run Firefox due to the extensions--AdBlock Plus, Tab Mix Plus, NoScript, YARIP (Yet Another Remove It Permanently).
I have Safari on Mac. Also have Firefox. Was just curious what advantages one might have, over the other. (I have AdBlockPlus on both.) But, you run Linux...thanks, tho :)
I haven’t tried the bookmark feature, on FF, but saw your post about it. Might be a feature worth trying.
What is YARIP...how does it work?
Usually using firefox...but, my FR bookmarks are randomly ordered...
You can drag and drop the bookmarks to order them however you like.
The project page doesn't look like it's been implemented very well, but the software itself works great. I remove tables and blocks on regularly-visited web pages to remove ads that AdBlock Plus may not, or remove content I'm not interested in. It really streamlines the surfing experience.
