[LINK] Kill sticky headers: make your browsing easier

[Jevan Pipitone]

Hi Rick

I'm glad to hear about the positive side to my header/footer.

I don't like anything flashing since it distracts me from the reading 
text that's really the most important thing. Also I use an ad blocker in 
my firefox browser called "AdBlocker Ultimate".

I think one of my pages may have an automatically playing small video 
that uses adobe flash, it was written before the days of the "<video>" 
html tag that allows playing of videos in a webpage, prior to that it 
was necessary to use adobe flash to play a flv video in a web page. I 
haven't rewritten those old pages since they still work, however, I 
redid the menu around last year since these days there is no need for a 
third party software application to generate menu html/css/js code:

http://free.jevan.com.au/3d/dazStudio/3d-dazStudio.php

At the URL above the menu is just a single link at the top of the page 
which takes you down to the bottom of the page where all the links are 
for the menu, categorized into each menu header.

 From the page below it looks like the "<video>" tag only support mp4, 
ogg, and webm but only mp4 is supported in all browsers:

https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_video.asp

So I could convert the video to .mp4 in order to avoid the requirement 
to need the adobe flash plugin in the browser to play an ".flv" small 
file size video.

As to the popup on:

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/jerry-rigged

They are annoying I don't like those popup ads, when it pops up I have 
to resize the window to full screen by clicking the "maximize" square 
button at the top right, so that I can see the top right "x" to close 
the popup, then i click maximize again to undo the maximize. My ad 
blocker in firefox does not stop those popups like the one on 
"www.merriam-webster.com".

Jevan.

I am here for online friends, hobbies, volunteer work, and working on 
business ideas, and I am on Centrelink Disability Support Pension 
(Schizophrenia & Aspergers). I suspect that what will probably work is 
people who are on a Centrelink payment such as unemployed, disability, 
or retired, since they can benefit from me and since it allows me to 
give back to Centrelink, and also, if female friends then age 49+ and 
less attractive so that they will find me attractive, also probably 
overweight since I am overweight. However I can also work with highly 
skilled people since I can make use of what I get from them that is 
useful for me to be able to work with interesting concepts. Me:
