The markup below is the html encoding for a space char, you can use those to create sort of a shim in between things. " " Well, I having trouble with getting it to show, as you can see, it's invisible. & nbsp; Take the space out between the ampersand and the n [edit] Now I'm confused, you don't want the space now, perhaps because you placed the span tags or labels inside the p element, all the controls may be justified in alignment, creating spaces in between. So replace the p element with the div element, so they display inline.

Given that you know already the NAME and VALUE of the data to be written to the cookie, Its not so difficult to check the length of the data (to be written) including the name and then subtract that from the maximum size allowable for the cookie and then you will know EXACTLY how space you have remaining (in the cookie) to work with.

Other than that I don't know what you mean by "duplicate" code. If the objects are different than they are different and you shouldn't attempt to generalize. If however the are the related (by design and NOT by your desire to avoid typing) then you should perhaps re-think your design/implementation.

OK thanks. That helps me understand things a little better. SuzyB If I had a better memory I would remember more.

On a related note - rather than just accept the renewal quote, find out what they'd quote you as a new customer & insist on getting that. I did that at my last renewal and ended up paying £100 less than the renewal quote. It's easy enough to do with on-line application systems...

Suzy, Check out using this Tool called TaskManagerExtension on which application is using large amount of memory or CPU Cycles. I think that would provide you some clues into the problem.

I've heard that as well but never from a reliable source and I really doubt it's true when you consider all the problems with being able to do that. I could agree that it's if not possible at least conceivable that somewhere in a laboratory under ideal (setup) conditions a person would be able to recover a tiny fragment of an overwritten file after one re-write. I am learning as I get older that there are a hell of a lot of myths about what the "government agencies" can do that are just not even close to true. In fact there are certain incidents where we all hope that these skills exist, but sadly our expectations are usually way ahead of reality. I blame TV. "A preoccupation with the next world pretty clearly signals an inability to cope credibly with this one."

Looking back on it, it was...I was one mixed up kid, and the physical feelings I was experiencing completely contradicted my (and oddly, reinforced) emotions. I was awkward, unpopular, uncertain of who I was and ashamed of how I felt. The end result was 20 years of denial...the rest you know. 17th October 2002 - the day I started talking about who I was here - is a day I'll never forget. :rolleyes: Fortunately, the second puberty was a lot more fun than the first! :-O Anna :rose: Riverblade Ltd - Software Consultancy Services Anna's Place | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.

Just one word of caution. About a month ago, I was returning from Denver and decided to spend the night in the middle of nowhere in Kansas -- which is itself in the middle of nowhere. At the town we stopped by, there was not a single hotel room available. The explanation was that there was a softball/baseball junior league tournament going on. We drove for another hour before we found a hotel room. The same thing had happened a year earlier in Kansas, except that it was a different small town and that time it was a bass fishing tournament. Booking ahead sometimes is a good idea. You get Internet-only rates. You can google for nationwide chains such as Best Western, Days Inn, Knights Inn, (why not?), Red Roof Inn, Motel 6, EconoLodge, call them on the phone and put in a reservation. Generally, you can always cancel as late as 4 pm the day of your stay there. You can also just check under "Hotels in Podunk, Iowa" and get all the mom-and-pop hotels too. We ran into the Blue Sky Motel in Delta, Colorado run by an Englishman! Of course, you can also google for high-end hotels like Hyatt, W (hopefully, it is NOT named for our current President!), etc., too if that is more like your style. Have fun in the US.

I have received emails from Paypal asking me to update my credit card number (when the old one expired) but they NEVER provided a link for me to click through. They just told me to log in to PAypal and update my details. That is the benchmark I would apply sort out phishing scams from genuine requests. Though it wouldn't surprise me if someone comes up with a scam that entices you to log onto your genuine Paypal or other financial website for some reason then monitors your keystrokes to get your login info. Haven't heard of that yet though. Just don't click any links at all in emails you don't trust completely and you should be reasoinably safe. Steve T

As a user of both platforms, I feel obliged to point out how very, very wrong you are. "Many" Mac users run "most" of their software under Virtual PC? Craziness, specifically because Virtual PC is a dog. A more accurate statement would be that a statistically insignificant number of users run an app or two -- usually Quicken (the Mac version blows) or MS Money -- under VPC. Oh, and I do have a couple of clients who run vertical market apps under VPC, and spend the rest of their business time in OS X. In fact, other than cutting-edge games, there is no shortage of apps on the Mac side any more. I work on both platforms, and each has its good and bad points. For instance, as much as I like XCode on the Mac side (it's free for starters, and I'd like to see MS crib some ideas from Interface Builder), VS.NET rocks hard, and is by far the most productive development platform for enterprise apps. And, as much as I like VS on the Windows side, OS X spanks Windows in the usability department (we'll see how things change with both Tiger and Longhorn). --V
