reposition legend tag

Quick notes for future reference:
Repositioning the legend tag in html requires the use of position:absolute (or maybe position:static). And you need to put another tag inside of the legend tag; something like this:

<legend><em>login</em></legend>

then you can affect the position by using this CSS:

legend em {position:absolute;margin-left:10px;margin-top:10px;}

If you try repositioning the tag using only margins or floats, the contents of the fieldset are moved as well. So, just add position:absolute and it will break out of its position.

salmon: overheard

Things I learned whilst at Jack's Fish & Chips on Friday:


  • Kotzebue(, alaska) salmon run is very healthy and high fat content

  • normal fat content of chum is 2-3%; yukon chum is around 15% - 20%

  • johnson straight (in upper vancouver island) - bad runs this year

  • Bethel king salmon: turn to mush quickly when not eaten soon after being caught.

songs

For song reason unknown to me, I had a certain song stuck in my head for years. It was The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson theme. I was humming that song all the time for years.

Lately I've had Herb Alpert songs stuck in my head. Tijuana Taxi is now my ringtone on my mobile phone because of this. It's just so catchy.

A few others in the last several years:

  • FAO Schwartz music ('welcome to our world...welcome to our world...welcome to our world of TOYS...')

  • Fernando by Abba

  • Seattle by Perry Como (hey...when there are blue skies, it's easy to hear that song.)
