Try limiting your comments to those she can brag about to her friends. For example, I work on AmericanStandardAir.com and do a lot of things that are interesting technically, but to her, I write the pages for AmericanStandardAir.com. She is happy to impress her friends with that tid bit.

Mmmm you are right, just because someone is promoted to management does not mean they are worthly of the position. But then again, your view of a manager is more one sided since you don't really understand the managers role until you have been there. I once was a manager, it was fun til I was downsized. Then I was in trouble because my skills where not sharp enough to compete in an overcrowded market. It took a while to get back into the main stream. Managers need reliability. That is why most young guys don't get management jobs right off the bat. For a manager, stability, understanding your environment, and the organizational politics is more important than technical savvy. I must ask you a question... Do you program for technologies sake, or do you program to solve a problem? A wise programmer understands the problem and the impact of change before he develops the solution.
The reason you did not see anything in the first version of your css is that the scroll bar stuff is not valid, standard CSS styles. Therefore, they would be ignored. Please don't post experiments cause I don't want to teach you how to code. Nor, I am sure, do most of the others. Learn CSS and only post real problems. Why, oh why!
Because your page is blank. Nothing is called - except the body which happens with the body tag. The form tags is not displayable and does not support class/style parameters. Why oh Why!
The only tag you are calling is the body. Do you have a body {} defined in you css? To be honest, I don't know much about .skins, but in my experience nothing happens unless you call it. So where are you calling your skin file. I think you should post the contents of your css file.... might give us a better picture. :confused:

Is that the definition of single point of failure?

You have a lot to learn about people. Some people are not cut out to be managers. Just because a person gets old does not mean they get wise. Others, simply have not played their career cards right and fell into to the right place at the right time. Some have been managers and have been burned up by the system. It is much easier to be a programmer than to fight the political battles of management. As you grow older your ability to take stress is reduced. Still others just like programming - as others have mentioned. In short, programming is not a career path where the only outcome is management. It is one on many choices. Typically, us older folks get nice cushy jobs in Peoplesoft, Oracle, or application support because we understand the system (both political, reality, and technical) better then our younger upstarts. Think about it as another version of SDLC! Scott
