  • Redirect users to gmail,yahoo mail etc.

    I don't think that is possible... And how would you determine what online mail client they use (gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc) and what if they don't use any of those?

  • Background Image Vanishing Act Using WP-Framework

    Have you tried adding "overflow:auto" to the .container? That will often fix issues with backgrounds not displaying correctly when divs inside the .container uses floats.

  • Which would you use: CSS, Javascript, or Images?

    I usually try to go with the most efficient method... either most efficient for me (in coding time) or for the user (smallest file size, most compatible across multiple browsers. This usually depends on the situation. If I can get away with just CSS…

  • PHP, MySQL..

    For PHP, take a look at phpvideotutorials.com or killerphp.com -- two sources I've used in the past. KillerPHP also has some mySQL tutorials, though most of what I know has come from the MySQL section on Tizag.com, w3schools, or personal experi…

  • Center whole blog

    The exact code depends on how your site is coded, but it's usually done like this: #wrapper { margin:0 auto; width: 960xp; } This assumes that you have a div with an id of "wrapper" that wraps around your entire site. It has a fixed…

  • iPad Code Editor

    I read about Gusto recently (http://horseandtherook.com/gusto/) but since I don't own an iPad, I have no way of trying it out. It seems like a version 1 product rather than a fully polished product like Coda, so I don't know if I can recom…

  • Problems with Javascript on Win 7 Pro Computer

    Could Javascript be disabled? I'm running Firefox on a Mac -- it should be roughly the same for the Windows version -- just go to Properties->Content and check that the "enable JavaScript" checkbox is checked.

  • Embedded Google Calender shows up as google log in

    I don't think this works the way you want it to. The page you are linking to in the iframe requires the user to be logged in to view. When I visit the page, I get a login screen, and that's to log in to my account -- I won't see your …

  • Javascript

    I agree with noahgelman above... That said, I imagine you should already have this on your phone -- it's probably just a matter of turning it on in the options. "Go to your browser and then hit the menu key and go to Options. You can enab…

  • Creating a .m4v Download Link

    I'm not completely familiar with this, though I believe it is possible to force the download using a .htaccess file. Try this: create a .htaccess file in the server root (or add to it if that file already exists) and add these contents: AddT…

  • Repeating Image Issue?

    For the top: within #nick, change the background position to "-10 0" and the top padding to 60px (or so -- adjust to fit) For the bottom: Just add "background-color:#373737;" to #footer. ...elements of that design sure look sim…

  • OT: Text color etc

    It's OK for your headings to be a different color than your regular content text. If anything, I'd suggest it, since color will help give a little emphasis to the headings and make it easier for viewers to scan the page. I would keep color…

  • Which screen resolution?

    Same here... I design for 1024x768. I try to keep the site's width in between 960 and 980 pixels to allow for a vertical scroll bar.

  • Fancy x-overflow

    At least on Firefox for the mac, if I remove "-moz-box-shadow:0 3px 10px #2A2625;" from "nav#header" in the stylesheet, that fixes it for me. Seems like removing that line and using a background image instead would be the soluti…

  • Tricky design. What do you think?

    I'm assuming these are all variations for the design of the home page... Of those, my personal preference is #1. The other two's use of large images seems a bit distracting and pushes the actual content quite far down the page. The only …

  • PHP Error Warning

    As cybershot said above, a "Access denied for user" error usually indicates either incorrect permissions or an incorrect database username or password. I'd double check your database login details and make sure they are correct.

  • [Solved] Style stops

    If you look at some of your CSS styles, you'll notice: #header div.latestpost The #header section means that the browser is only styling the .latestpost div if it is within the #header id. Since it isn't, it leaves it unstyled. I believe…

  • Web Portait Standard Sizes

    I don't think you are going to find any standard sizes for this sort of thing. It'll just depend on the company you are working with, and of course the design of the web site.
