# From Entropy.ch:

# Here’s a little terminal command I use to repeatedly attempt to download a file. This is useful if the transfer aborts frequently or if the server is busy:

# The while/do/done loop keeps calling curl, with pauses of 10 seconds. curl will keep returning a failure exit code, which is what keeps the while loop going if inverted with the ! (logical not) operator. The -C - flag tells curl to continue at the last byte position.

1. In xcode, create a new empty project with the same dir any sources were checked out from. 

2. Name the project with the same name used as the SVN module. NOTE: the .xcodeproj file should end up in the same directory as your build.xml file. 

3. From the finder, dragged the src/ directory into the top level project name item in the project window.

4. Removed any unwanted items from the folder hierarchy now in xcode. For example, remove all generated build .jar files.

I wanted a table to allow the user to select a range of rows with a Shift+Click… The problem is that, by default, the browser will select the page’s text content. This isn’t something you’ll want to do very often but it is possible to get around this:

Firefox can do this from your CSS:

table {

}

On the table element IE needs:
