 | I'd love to use HTML 5 in my next project, it does so many things which we currently rely on PHP and JavaScript and such things to do, but as far as I remember IE 8 [B]STILL[/B] hasn't caught up with all the other players. And unfortunately because that's what …  |

There are plenty of other sites out there covering similar topics, but this one is my favourite. Also, a … |
| | I have to say that I'm finding it pretty hard to come up with ideas for you... You have no idea how bad I feel about that. The problem being that after people have uploaded their pet's information and picture/video(?), and a few friends have made comments like "Missing you … |
 | I'm all for divs. Tables should only be used for tabular data (as has been said many times above). I find divs A LOT more flexible that tables, and also a lot easier to look at in the code side of things. I work for a place that creates and … |

| | Re: logo design A logo should only ever be designed in a vector based program. Start right to avoid any headaches later on, and stay away from raster-based programs for logo design. P.S. I notice that this string is from 2005, please mark it as solved. Cheers. |
| | Please post your code, it may highlight where the issue is. |
| | [QUOTE=Gilesy;1205208]Yes it's easy. You first need to create a text box. This is done by selecting the type tool, click and drag to the area you would like the text to flow. Paste your text in this area keeping in mind to leave enough text to flow into another text … |

| | Haven't tried it - Google tells me its rolled up herring??? eek! cheese, jam and ham sandwiches? |
| | I have to say that personally I am against using templates, but hey, that's just my opinion... However, if you want some free website templates with that extra WOW factor, trying searching for free css templates, as opposed to html or websites. These two sites are pretty ok in terms …  |
| | The smooth font property/ anti-aliasing is set on each individual computer, and usually set as default in IE, unlike Firefox. Have a quick search in Google referencing your operating system and you should find a few articles on how to set this.  |
| | Hello and Welcome to Daniweb =D Sounds like your image has an absolute path, rather than a relative one... Bad Thing. And sounds like all your links are relative... Good Thing. Basically your links probably say something like: [CODE] <a href="/about.html" title="About Me">About Me</a> [/CODE] While your image says something … |
| | You could also set the image as a background image in CSS, and depending on what your trying to active, set the background image attributes accordingly. [CODE=css] #background { background: #ffffff url(/images/bg.jpg) no-repeat fixed top left; } [/CODE] See [URL="http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp"]W3 Schools[/URL] for background image attributes.  |
| | Do you mean a backup of your website?... Could you be a bit more specific please? Thanks BTW, welcome to daniweb :) |
| | Yep me too. Using Windows XP and it looks fine in Firefox and IE8 and IE7. Only starts to mess up a tiny bit in IE6. What version of IE are you using and what OS? |
| | Hi Veledrom, I'm not too sure about the speed implications of outsourcing an image, if I'm to be honest. But there are other factors to take into consideration here when deciding whether or not to outsource your site's imagery. For instance, if the site containing the image has shocking server … |
 | I second MidiMagic, work and test everything in Firefox first, then fix the bugs that IE creates. To target IE with its own css use this: [CODE="html"] <html> <head> <!-- Meta tags, title, etc. goes in here --> <link rel="stylesheet" href="default.css" type="text/css" /> <!-- Normal stylesheet --> <!--[if lte IE …  |
| | Hmm...this is one of those ones where it may help to see the code. And what does it do in other browsers, including IE8? However, just a few things you should check before posting the code, which may highlight the problem. If it's only happening in IE7, do you have … |
| | Hi I don't know if you've fixed this problem yet yourself, but to me I reckon the issue is with have the sub menu div postioned absolute. It kind of means that everything else on the site after this (in the code) doesn't relate to it's height, position, etc. Why … |
| | Hi Nish, I'm afraid this menu isn't anything as exciting as a CSS drop-down menu or JavaScript. If you notice when you click on 'Training' that the page content also changes, as will as the sub-menu which appears below 'Training'. This simply uses a different menu layout for each page … |
| | Aww... the joy of Dreamweaver generated code. I'm not suprised your having issues with all those tables! Hmm... well, we'll start with the easier of you problems. Obviously I don't know the dimensions of the main.jpg, but I suspect that the reason why it is only showing half way down … |
| | Re: Table to Div Erm... It really depends what way your page is coded, and to be honest, chances are to do the job right, you'll have to code from the start. Sorry. It would help if you posted some sample code and I could try and show you how I'd lay it out … |
| | Hi Skzz, Too be honest, I'm kinda in the same boat as you. However I found the W3 Schools tutorials on Javascript to be a great help on getting some basic understanding, with a few nice examples to try out along to way. [URL="http://www.w3schools.com/JS/"]http://www.w3schools.com/JS/[/URL] If you find anything else that … |
 | How about, after developing the content, looking at some portfolio websites for inspiration in terms of layout and design. Here's a list of the site's I regularly visit when I need to unblock my, erm, creative block... :) [URL="http://www.spoongraphics.co.uk/"]http://www.spoongraphics.co.uk/[/URL] [URL="http://line25.com/"]http://line25.com/[/URL] [URL="http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/"]http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/[/URL] In fact, there's a very timely post on that … |
| | Hey guys, I know there is LOTS on the web with regards to learning resources and tutorials on javascript but I was wondering if you nice people could point me in the direction of a few websites that teach you the 'right' way of doing things? I'm a total noob … |
 | Hi Steven, There are a couple of possibilities that could be causing the problem: [LIST=1] [*]I find if I'm not adding values to the background, e.g. no repeat, hex colour, etc. that sometimes I have to use background-image rather than background...but that doesn't look like the problem here. [*]You may …  |
| | Hi, you've put the last close div </div> AFTER the </body> not BEFORE. Try this [CODE='html'] </div> </body> [/CODE] You could also give the body a style of: [CODE='css'] body { margin: 0 auto; } [/CODE] if you don't know anything about stylesheets (CSS) then type this: [CODE='html'] <body style="margin: … |
 | I haven't really used Dreamweaver, but the main thing your gona need from either whoever hosts your website or the people who now look after it, is the FTP details; the server, the username and the password. Dreamweaver should have some way of saving that information for uploading via FTP. … |
| | Yep learning html and css is a great start and of course any other scripts you can pick up on the way...so good that your also learning php and javascript. I'd suggest learning how to make a page without the use of dreamweaver or programs like that. It'll help you … |
 | Hi there, Two basic ways I do this on a regular basis are: - Creating two divs within the footer div, one with a left float and one with a right float. From there you can apply the left and right text-align styles. Don't forget to set the div widths. … |
| | Hi eantz, Well...the problem being that the concept is a key part of the website, without this, there is no website...! Your asking for ideas, but what is it that you want the website to do...other than be interactive of course? If is to aid learning and if so, what … |
| | In terms of the website appearing, theres the issue of downtime, as ithelp has mentioned...but also the chance of the server not supporting scripts that you would like to use, and having a nightmare trying to get them added. Also, theres the problem of how you can come across to … |
| | I believe if you sign up for Google Mastertools, you can get a lot of information about where your traffic comes from...which should include those who land on 404 pages. I've only played around with Google Mastertools a tiny bit so not too sure how good this function is. There … |
 | Hi bhagu, Good choice of career - doing the same thing myself...though I do have a few years ahead of you. Well learning the languages HTML, CSS, PHP, Javascript, etc. can easily be done, there is an infinite number of resources on the web to get information and tips from, … |
| | Hi Lisa I have to agree that site optimisation and promotion are very important parts of the overall site development (from designing to coding to promotion) and unfortunately this area is the part that is so often left out. The truth be told, if the designer/team understand the needs of … |
