| | Hi folks... Awkward topic for me to discuss... but I'm seriously doubting myself onthis one... Am I being overly critical? I look through the "reviews" section and do my best to find problems, and list them, often with the possible cause or a solution. I do this in several communities, …  |
| | (No idea if this is the right place... couldn't really see anywhere suitable, sorry!) It's been in a couple of different threads... and I'm going to bandy it around a couple of communities... You can say what you like, the truth of the matter is that there are people and … |

| | Yep, the title is right! All I want is a method for getting IE to display 2 divs in a row, the l/r to be 200px wide, the center fluid. The only stipulations are that all three stretch to 100%, (usually easy in IE), and that the HTML order is … |

| | Is it possible to have a main page, with all the usual junk placed upon it, have a pretty looking and funky effect menu, yet have the links only change the main content area without loading another page, opening a new window etc. ? Would I be using frames... and …  |
| | OK..... I have a site/page template I've made.... looks good! Set the height and set overflow in CSS so I get scroll bars if JS is disabled.... yet the boss wants a method of using icons to scroll up/down without scrollbars...... seen it on several sites..... found sample code.... hacked … |
| | OK, a friend of a friend asked me to look into building a online cane builder. The cane can have a variety of different cuts, grooves, handles etc. In all, I thought it best to create a 2wide 4high grid containing a basic cane, and depending what they clicked on, … |
| | OK, I've looked at CMS's, I've thought hard about the best approach to permit/enable clients to alter their content etc..... and I'm stunned at the vast array of basically limitless powqer this app's permit.... yet none of them are simple enough or small enough to just dump and let an … |
| | :( Get w div, it should stretch full width of screen! Now, set a img in that Div, and float it right. now set a <hr> in the Div and set the width for say 300px. Now shrink IE6 window....past 300 px.... and the floated img still moves! Makes no …  |

I occassionally read these rants and whines from so called "purists" etc.... that harp on about accessability issues, and it being unfair about those with visual impairments not being able to use the web properly due to poorly constructed sites etc. So, I've looked into it, … |
| | Hi all, OK, I can use the " minwidth: nnpx; " for most browsers, for IE I can use " <hr /> ". That mostly sorts out setting a minimum width... apart from the fact that I want a gap between the viewportal/screen-res and the content of the page! Any … |
| | Just a quick question..... So, how supported is JS? Do most viewers have it permissable? It strikes me as odd that I am being told by certain people that JS is bad and being phased out etc... yet it is used quite heavily in conjunction with other languages, or singular … |
| | OK, I'm getting a little confused...... A lot of sites actually have little in the way of content, and have a simple navigation struction... be it basic text links, button graphics, roll-over graphics, or roll-over/hover affects from JS or even CSS..... I think this is fine for smaller sites..... yet … |
| | OK folks.... struggling with this one! You create a table, set the propeties so that t is 100% etc.... you place images in the outer cells, so you are forming a ring of out cells around the central/9th one. Now, if you set the images to stretch as well, then … |
