Geez ~ hot topic, to say the least!
I strongly disagree with Greg’s assertion that we should eliminate licensing.
I do agree, however, that the status quo has essentially done that.
And, Kris, in case you haven’t checked yet ~ your cat DOES already have a license
It gets even worse ~ In Idaho, law enforcement now asks for a real estate license when making traffic stops ~ seems that not everyone HAS a driver’s license
I think we need to STRENGTHEN our licensing laws and make it extremely difficult to become a real estate agent/broker, and thereby eliminate all the wannabe get-rich-quick snake oil salespeople.
How about some meaningful continuing education, instead of the wink and nod everyone passes stuff?

Kris, no, I just meant there’s about a zillion ways to fix it in the style sheet. As long as you found one, you’re good to go.

Job offers? No extra charge. Typing all night long on the Internet: priceless.

Thanks, John. I fixed the code in the style sheet, which seems to have helped Benn (if that’s what you meant by more complicated).

Thanks for the job offer, in any event!

On the Internet Explorer menu, see “View / Text Size” to adjust the font size on the client side. On the web site side of things, it’s a bit longer of a discussion. Kris and Steve, you know you get free programming and blogging support when you come to work for Elite Properties, right?

I’ve always wanted a San Diego office in case I need to go to a nice beach…

well, whatever you’ve changed has worked- so keep your wallet in your purse!

And yes, I do use a laptop, it never occured to me there would be a difference.
