The hardest part to XHTML 1.1 compliance was getting all the posted messages to validate, considering that anyone can enter anything into the editor. (For example, if you click the validate button on this thread, in which people have posted a bunch of various HTML.) The cleanup routines are pretty hairy.In all seriousness, it's great when someone who's into these things can check out the resulting code, because it was among the more challenging projects I've ever done.

I just converted the whole site to be 100% XHTML 1.1 compliant Well Todd, a friend of mine was over when I was writing you earlier and she had a FIT saying that I NEVER compliment a site [not really true but hardly ever LOL] and she's never heard me go on about one like today LMAO!! I did look at the code and also saw the validators in addition, at which time I said that dude is a glutten for punishment! how the hell did he get all these components to work together and stay separated in both I...

BuddahBoy,Welcome to the forum!You asked how to use predictor's picks. There's several ways.1) Select 'predictions' and then 'top predictors'. You can then filter it by game, state, 30 day / lifelong stats, etc. That will tell you the top predictors.2) If you're looking for analyzing tools, I have found these to be very useful tools...Deflate and Inspect. Read the instructions, check it out...you get 20 free tries at it. I use it every day. 3) Follow the forum posts, watch the feedback. So... [ More ]

Ron,By the way if you build websites yourself, you may be interested to check out the code work (not sure if you go there or not). I just converted the whole site to be 100% XHTML 1.1 compliant, with a table-less layout. It was about a 6-month project, and finally ended last month (whew!). I sure did learn a lot during that 6 months.

Ron,Thanks for the compliments regarding the popup menus. I really like them myself, although I haven't gotten much positive feedback about them. I thought maybe it was just me who liked them! Enjoy your stay, and I hope you're able to find everything you're looking for.

Thank you very much Todd - greatly appreciate your kind response and I'll take your advice and be patient [as patient as I can be! LOL] I did notice the super features that the site offers and that was one of the things that I was very impressed with when I first got to it - the popup menu structure is just sooooooooo classy! I do websites myself, transitioning to Mambo now from php Nuke, and have to say that this site is THE best I've experienced in a long while - and I've been impressed much... [ More ]

It can be overwhelming at first, but my advice is to be a little patient, and follow all the various posts from day-to-day. Although your interest in in Pick 3/4, try not to dwell only in those forums, because there is a lot being said that may interest you in the other forums.The most important function on the whole web site (in my opinion) is the Active Topics page. It is the first item in the Forums menu. That page tells you every topic that has been started or replied to since the last ti... [ More ]

Newbie with a couple questions please

Greetings - I just happened on the site a couple days ago and am just blown away with it; super great site and participation.I would like to ask a couple of questions [hope I don't sound too dumb] about how to use the wealth of information offered. I've spent many hours reading posts and looking at the various sections and I feel like a moron because I don't really grasp how to best use the info here - I'm interested in the pick 3 and 4 games - just starting out as must be obvious LOL - can I a...
