You don't. The user does this. The user right-clicks on the image, and selects Save Image As from the menu. It would be a security violation if a web page did this on its own.

First of all, I wish the hover attribute had never been invented. I hate pages that change when you move the mouse without clicking. They make the page not accessible to the disabled. Your problem is that the a:hover pseudo attribute attribute works only with the a (anchor) tag. You …

[QUOTE=itisnot_me;944248] if you do use fixed use a 960 grid instead of a 760. personally i think the days of 800x600 are over.[/QUOTE] No, they are not. Many people with visual problems use 800X600 to make the text large enough to read.

There is a separate w3c frameset doctype if you want frames in xhtml. Frames are deprecated in the strict xhtml doctype.

I don't click on links with IP addresses in them. They can go to malware sites. Check these: - Don't put size styles (width, height), and surrounding styles (margin, border, padding) on the same style or apply them to the same tag. - Make sure your site validates with W3C. …

You can't do it that way. You have to make an image with a transparent color in it. Usually this must be a .gif image. You create the image in an image editor, using a specific color you do not want in the image. You designate that color to be …

You can't reference an address on your own disk drive and expect that image to work when the page is uploaded. You have done this in your body css.

The only way I know to compatibly include a font the user does not have installed is to create an image file containing the text in the font you want, and put the image on the website.

Never put size styles (width, height) and surround styles (margin, border, padding) in the same style or on the same web page tag. Instead, nest two box objects. Put the size styles on one box object, and the surrounding styles on the other box object. This gets around the IE …

Just leave the divs transparent. As long as you don't specify a background, they will show the background under them. Be careful putting images under text. Many people have trouble reading that.

Another possibility is that a competing adware program is already running. Only one should be running at a time.

There are different players for use with Windows, plugin for IE, and plugin for FF. You can't put a player on your site for your users to use. The user has to already have the player on his computer to play your file.

It could be that the server doesn't know how to use a .pptx file yet. Or it might not know to serve some auxillary file. Did you use some built in file in the presentation, but forget to upload it? Missing parts can make corrupt downloads. Note that the client …

Don't use pixels to define sizes. This introduces incompatibilities that depend on screen resolution.

If you have a border, margin, or padding, it goes OUTSIDE the size attribute. This makes the total width greater than 800px.

Using pixels to define sizes causes all kinds of trouble. Different screen resolutions display the pixel sizes in different ways. Negative sizes are not defined. This throws browsers into quirks mode. Don't put size styles (width, height) and nonzero surround styles (margin, border, padding) in the same style or in …

There are two kinds of css failure: 1. The css has errors in it that prevent correct rendering. 2. The css renders, but not the way the page creator wants. 1. Look for the following css errors if the css does not render: - Look for typogoofical errors first. - …

IE6 might not have the resize capabilities that later browsers have. Specify only the width, and the height should automatically resize. If you specify both, and the height ratio is not the same as the width ratio, the aspect ratio will change, and you may get more blurring.

The ONLY style selector that works with hover is [code] a:hover [/code] It affects ALL a links on the page. You can't make it work on just one anchor tag. Which way do you want the navigation to display. Note that if the horizontal navigation bar does not fit in …

You are always going to have screen resolution problems when you define things in terms of pixels. Use percent and em to define sizes.

0px is an invalid style in some browsers. Use 0 instead. Those browsers throw out the whole style when they encounter a 0 with a unit of measure. "Lucide Sans Unicode" is not a valid font name. It may work on YOUR browser, because you have it defaulted to that …

The div tag is a generic box container. The span tag is a generic device for adding styles (such as fonts) to text.

Check to see if it uses codes specific to IE. If it does, you will not be able to fix the problem without using html, css, or a script.

This doesn't work very well on screens with low resolution, unless you prefer the page to be scrolled horizontally. The page can keep its identity better if you define sizes in percent and points, instead of pixels.

You don't have to use different stylesheets for different browsers. I get stuff to work just fine with only one. The following rules make pages work with all browsers: - Don't use deprecated tags and attributes. - Don't use browser-specific tags. - Make all HTML tags lowercase. - Be aware …

You have tangled tags. Your font tags are not nested entirely inside or entirely outside the div tags. Tag soup always throws the browser into quirks mode. Quirks mode makes divs go crazy. You need to align your tags like this: [code] <div> <font> <div> .... </div> </font> </div> [/code] …

You are designing for the quirks mode of the browsers without the doctype. If you are in quirks mode, the browsers do weird things. Standard mode puts the surrounding styles (margin, border, padding) OUTSIDE the width and height declarations, so you have to leave extra space for them. Don't use …

You forgot that margins, borders, and padding are added OUTSIDE the width and height styles. This makes the inner objects too big to fit in your container if the width percentages add to 100%.

I use multiple classes all the time. As long as they don't contradict each other, it works great. Use [icode] text-align: center; [/icode] to center text. The margin works on everything else, but not text. Remember that any surrounding styles (margin, border, padding) are rendered OUTSIDE any size style (width, …
