Solving technology problems, one at a time
The other day, I found an Internet Explorer ordered-list bug I hadn’t seen before:
A numbered list of items which looks right in other browsers will be rendered with the number “1” in front of every item in IE7.
This happens when a width is added to the “LI” tags in an ordered list. Internet Explorer 7 will not increment the numbers.

Now that you have created a project, the other people on your team should check it out from CVS. If they aren’t sure how to check out a project from CVS, have them view this tutorial then return here.
Scenario walkthrough
We’ll be following the workflow shown in the diagram below. This article will employ a scenario of two programmers, Paul and Wing, working on separate branches of the same project.

Now that you’ve created a new project, check it into the CVS repository so your team can collaborate on it.

To prevent this, projects can be developed in concurrent paths, with one path being devoted to the main line of development and others set aside for testing new features or bugfixes. One line can be kept stable or close to stable, with others not yet even in testing. Several common configuration strategies are used for team collaboration on software development.
With Fall coming, it’s time for Corn mazes. There are loads of them to find in Google Earth. Here are a few to get you started, including the Google Earth KML files. In England, they

An instructional designer came to me with a Captivate issue the other day. She had converted a working version 3 Captivate file to version 4. The converted file no longer calculated scores properly. There was a walk-through tutorial showing how to use a new web application, then a short multiple-choice quiz with 5 questions. The setting “Show Progress” was turned on, so each question should show a label: “Question 1 of 5, Question 2 of 5, etc.”
In version 3, everything had worked fine. In version 4, things looked fine in Edit mode, but at runtime, the numbering was off. The first question was numbered “Question 2 of 7” and it would increment from there.
I immediately assumed it was counting clickboxes from somewhere else in the file, but when I looked at the Advanced Interaction page, Add to Total was grayed out for all buttons and clickboxes, and Track Score was also not checked for any of them. So, I assumed it could not be the clickboxes. Thinking it might be some corruption in the question slides, I re-created all the quiz questions, and yet the problem remained.
