That was unexpected!

Or the butterflies in Peru! :laugh:

Quick, change the CSS back to the way it was before and act like you don't know what happened!!! :doh: [EDIT] And next time, try to be a more careful coder! [EDIT]

Exactly! Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition! :laugh:

But did you save? You said you were just about to....:~

Mitchell J

Nope. But fortunately I save regularly and only lost about 5 mins of work.

So I'm tapping away at my keyboard about 20 minutes ago, working on some CSS buttons for one of my own websites.
Just about to save, update some HTML, and refresh my browser when...

".......then the page looked exactly how I wanted first time! Now you don't get that very often when working with CSS/HTML." That is what you really wish for, but then you woke up and it was a dream. :laugh:

So you're living up to your username. That's good.

What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

Now there's a tale to tell the grand-kids on a long winter's evening. I think you should write it down somewhere.

... by candlelight.

But being careful doesn't mean I don't make mistakes! It just means that I'm more at fault when I do make them... :~

Mitchell J

Most of the time, yes. However I'd only made five minute's worth of changes - mostly very small size adjustments and color changes. It was kinda guaranteed to work.

Dan Neely

Nope. If he was being careful he'd either be using a laptop or have an UPS attached to his desktop; in either case he wouldn't've lost power. :rolleyes:

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Which country is this? In India where I live, this is quite common, so we have Inverters in most houses - it is also called a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply). That gives a 2-3 hour backup till the main lines are restored.
