Living Room / Re: Show us the View Outside Your Window

Went outside this evening and made my first attempt at shooting the night sky. The photos were taken a few hundred meters from my home. Guess there's some advantages to living in a rural area, you don't have to walk very far to find somewhere completely dark :)

Here's a couple of photos I took more or less just outside my home this evening. It's so nice to have the sun finally rising above the horizon again :)

...unless you are trying to make the site responsive. That's still a lot of work if you are not relying on some sort of CSS framework, which I would not use on a single page site of static content.

It's can be a lot of work certainly, but if you have the possibility of supporting only mostly modern browsers then it's not nearly as much work as it used to be. There are a lot of great tools available that helps a lot. As you said though, a framework or something like that isn't needed for something such as this.

Wow - awesome!!! Much easier to read! :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup:

Back in the day it was just whip up something by hand... all that newfangled CSS stuff came about after I had quit doing that kind of work. Back when I had a copy of Netscape ready to install, saved on a floppy. :P

Happy to help! :) When I first started making the occasional website, CSS had been introduced, but most websites still had the styling mixed in with the HTML so that's what I did as well. Over time I started playing around with it, and today with CSS 3 (and tools such as Sass) and standards-compliant browsers it's actually quite a bit of fun, very flexible and a whole lot easier than it used to be.

Besides cleaning up the HTML a bit, what you need is to add some CSS. Here's something I whipped up to get you started...

Fixed (and formatted) HTML:

Code: HTML [Select]

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <title>RemoteApp Sessions for 2015/01/18 12:52</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
 
<body>
<h1>RemoteApp Sessions for 2015/01/18 12:52</h1>
<p><a href="desk.html">Remote Desktop Sessions page</a></p>
<table class="sortable">
        <caption>click column header to sort by that column - updated every 2 minutes</caption>
        <thead>
                <tr>
                        <th>FirstSeen</th>
                        <th>Server</th>
                        <th>Session</th>
                        <th>PID</th>
                        <th>User</th>
                        <th>Application</th>
                        <th>Program</th>
                        <th>Parameters</th>
                        <th>IP Address</th>
                        <th>Computer</th>
                        <th>Session ID</th>
                </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
            <tr>
                        <td>2015/01/18 11:53</td>
                        <td>cotsa4</td>
                        <td>RDP-Tcp#0</td>
                        <td>5668</td>
                        <td>aycockb</td>
                        <td>"BJS Client"</td>
                        <td>"BJSUSER.EXE"</td>
                        <td>''</td>
                        <td>111.222.222.195</td>
                        <td>CODESK3</td>
                        <td>3</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                        <td>2015/01/18 11:53</td>
                        <td>cotsa5</td>
                        <td>RDP-Tcp#0</td>
                        <td>5720</td>
                        <td>aycockb</td>
                        <td>"Paint"</td>
                        <td>"mspaint.exe"</td>
                        <td>''</td>
                        <td>(unknown)</td>
                        <td>CODESK7</td>
                        <td>2</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                        <td>2015/01/18 11:53</td>
                        <td>cotsa5</td>
                        <td>RDP-Tcp#0</td>
                        <td>5720</td>
                        <td>smithr</td>
                        <td>"IE"</td>
                        <td>"iexplore.exe"</td>
                        <td>''</td>
                        <td>111.222.111.222</td>
                        <td>CODESK7</td>
                        <td>2</td>
                </tr>
        </tbody>
</table>
 
<script src="sorttable.js" async></script>
</body>
</html>

CSS:

Code: CSS [Select]

/*** This makes styling of elements consistent between most browsers.
     I'd recommend adding the content of the @import'ed file to the
     top of this CSS file, to avoid hitting the github servers every
     time you load the page! **/
@import "https://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/3.0.2/normalize.css";
 
/*** Styling for your tables follows: ***/
body {
  text-align: center;
}
 
h1 {
  font-size: 1.5em;
}
 
table {
  max-width: 80%;
  margin: 0 auto;
  line-height: 2em;
  text-align: left;
}
 
th:before {
  content: "\21c5";
  color: #ccc;
  margin-right: .2em;
}
 
table, th {
  border: 0;
}
 
tr, td {
  border: 1px solid #eee;
}
 
th, td {
  padding: 0 0.5em;
}
 
th {
  background-color: #545c61;
  color: #fff;
}
 
td {
  background-color: #fff;
}
 
td:nth-child(odd) {
  background-color: #d3e6f2;
}
 
caption {
  color: #444;
}

This will give you something like this:
