  • I am forced to do table-layouts and I don't know why

    in addition to the last poster's advice, I'd also recommend pointing out that a CSS driven layout will just look a lot better than a layout done with tables, not to mention that CSS layouts are much more customizable than a table layout. …

  • another IE issue - wacky workaround

    For whatever reason, it doesn't work for me. It fixes my header image, but not my content background or article title background. Here's what I have so far, keeping in mind it's far from finished - http://testingground.fropac.com/s5…

  • Saving Images for background use - need advice

    "pghtech" said:Thanks for the reply. However, it is my understanding that the tag has to be the first element in the page content. So I am unsure how you would be able to put it inside the container? What you mention as a problem is w…

  • Saving Images for background use - need advice

    theoretically, if you're doing it right, you should be able to not worry about the monitor size, at least as far as your backgrounds in your container are concerned. If it were an issue of lining up your page background with your container bac…

  • Do you use a CMS or hand code?

    It really depends on my mood. I like to challenge myself occasionally so I'll hand-code things, but sometimes I'm just too lazy to do that and I break out a CMS. Right now I'm working on two projects, one I've hand-coded, the o…

  • Opinions on Webhosts?

    I swear by DreamHost. Those guys take good care of me and I haven't had any major issues other than the billing snafu they had back in January. Plus at 10 bucks a month for as much bandwidth and storage as they give you, how can you go wrong?…

  • Hey Chris, how did you...

    Here's an update for anybody that reads this who ran into the problem I did and wants to keep all their pages in WordPress. I managed to get it to validate and work properly at the slight expense of my SEO-friendly permalinks. If you leave yo…

  • What software do you use ?

    I do most of my design and coding on Linux, I've had problems running Photoshop through Wine, but as powerful as it is, I don't think GIMP is really suitable as a replacement when it comes to doing the PSD to CSS type of thing. Bluefish w…

  • When can we stop designing with IE6 in mind?

    I don't think that we'll ever be able to truly stop designing for IE6. I know too many people who ignore Windows upgrades who are still using Windows Media Player 9 and IE6, not to mention the sheer number of people who are using bootlegg…

  • PHP-Tricks?

    I learned PHP a while back, I will tell you that w3schools' intro to PHP taught me a lot. You can do a Google search for virtually any script you need to do, but as somebody else above me said, watch out for outdated scripts if you go that rou…

  • Which CMS do you use?

    I used to use e107 (and still do for some projects), but had actually been using PHPBB recently to handle user registrations and data as well as my forums and building my database driven content around that. Since the upgrade to PHPBB3, they change…
