Hey folks,
I'm working up a website to try to get myself hired this fall for the
'06 school year (anyone need a philosopher?). This has led recently to
two linux-related problems that I'd love to get help on.
1. I got a latex .sty file for making my CV with a pretty format, and
it looks nice in dvi and in the ps viewer. But when I print the ps
file, or convert the ps to pdf, the top of the page gets cut off. It
skips the header completely, and starts printing content near the very
close to the top of the paper. Any idea why this might happen or how to
fix it? (Files available upon request, of course.)
2. I've put up a website for my portfolio and such. I've been learning
the pains of CSS and its battle with IE first-hand. The site is
http://stevepetersen.net
(some links still dead). I have two questions with this:
2a. I discovered IE makes these CSS boxes look really ugly, though they
look fine in Firefox and such. Any ideas for quick fixes? As it stands
now the CSS requests two columns, the menu floating left and taking up
15% of the window, the content floating right. Do I need to fix the
widths to pixels? Allowing poured boxes seems better to me.
2b. In Opera the named anchors don't work when the CSS is applied,
though in the plain HTML (no CSS) they work fine. Why? How to fix?
Thanks again for helping a poor computationally under-informed philosopher!
Steve
