hello…

outside of the context of the full page you’re working on, it’s hard to give you a concrete answer. can you post a sample somewhere for us to see?

hello…

like this?

https://metatroid.com/articles/CSS3%20transforms%20-%20rotate%20image%20with%20mouse

you’d just have to make your compass bg and then do an overlay of some sort of arrow image and then rotate that like that example, i’d think…

hello…

have you read the apple support doc on the topic?

hello…

well – assuming the text is plain html text and not an image, you have a few options:

1. make a javascript array of the text and then add a function to also swap that text out to the desired bit on mouseover (by setting the innerhtml property of the div/span where the text is)

2. make a series of divs (each with the desired text) and then stack them via z-index where you want the text to show and turn on/off the desired one via its visibility property

then for either option, you could just add another function to the mouseover bit – like this:

onmouseover=”changeText(‘redcrystall’),MM_swapImage(‘large’,”,’jewelry/redcrystall.jpg’,1)”

if none of this is making any sense i could do a mockup of what i mean…

hello…

considering that it shipped yesterday (i think?), i would assume that most people have yet to drop everything and install it…give it a few weeks…

hello…

those are proprietary names for smaller components that most of us have likely not heard of. some links would be helpful, along with what your specific implementation issues are and what you have tried to do already that has not worked…

reformat your main drive? apple told you that?

(or reformat the backup drive? i’d suggested that as it worked for me but you said that it didn’t for you?)

[Curtis Thompson]

personally, i did su to root and did the trash removal but at the time it didn’t work. i was in a smidge of a hurry so a quick format was next anyway as i had to get rid of the rest…

i must not have done the force option, but i swore i did. logically, root can remove all…

i am still fairly confident that it won’t work if you don’t remove from the shell as root, though.

[Curtis Thompson]

hmm – have you also turned off time machine? and i assume you re-tried deleting it once the drive was formatted?

[Curtis Thompson]

hello…

ya – deleting time machine backups doesn’t work so good… :-/

if possible, just format the original drive that you are using for backups via the disk utility – that should get rid of the backup in the trash. it’s what i did after i got stuck as well with a large file in the trash (it didn’t dawn on me that you couldn’t just delete those files either).
