  • Facebox Blues... (not working in IE for hidden divs)

    Found how to fix it with Facebox. In order for a hidden div to be displayed in IE\Opera\Safari, you have to do an inline style, style="display: none;" and NOT in the css file. Makes no sense to me, but it works. So to sum up... Inline …

  • Facebox Blues... (not working in IE for hidden divs)

    It can. Thickbox even says it can as well. And it does, in FF. In the other big 3? No for some reason. I might try Thickbox and be done with it... :

  • Latest Work...!

    Thanks Doc. Yea... Last night I did the sidebar headers, and I didn't like them too much last night, and now, they look even worse. I'll rework the hard bevel on the posts as well... You're right, It's too much bevel\shadow. …

  • What do you think?

    Hi. I will second Doc's opinion on the portfolio... You're forcing an image inside a fixed size... never, ever good. Also, something that I think is "never, ever good" is when web designers put their own website\business cards …

  • Leather Shop Website

    Good start... the only thing that doesn't seem to go is the content section... I'm not sure, the gradient isn't working for me. I wouldn't recommend more leathery look, as there is already plenty of that, just something differen…

  • My first CSS, what do you think?

    Right. It's sort of like car emblems actually. A toyota symbol on the front of the car tells me its a toyota... just like the Nintendo Logo on the nintendo website tells me its the nintendo website. Then, on the back of the Toyota, it says &…

  • My first CSS, what do you think?

    Off to a good start... templates are a great way of being able to look at the page, then look at the code making it appear that way, and messing around as you please with no repercussions. Anyhow, I thought i'd mention this... I know you might…

    Yea, I agree... I know its cool to have a whole image for a background, but you have to make your font readable... Also, I always think having "Navigation" is... ehh. If its not apparent that its not navigation, its not good design\layout…

  • Thoughts and Thanks

    Hey there Lin, nice looking site... If you don't mind, I have a few details I noticed... The header image sort of abruptly ends on the left... the right is much better, it just looks incomplete on the left side... In fact, as I look closer, th…

    Here's another one... dontbeanidiotwhiledrivingyouidiot.com I will suggest. Always ticks me off when I'm in the left lane, and someone infront of me in the same lane decides they want to merge into a turning lane further to the left. So,…

  • Please Help with a jquery problem

    First I would recommend posting this in the javascript section, then, I would suggest watching Chris's video on jQuery... We're a helpful bunch here on CSS-Tricks, but you can't simply ask for someone to do your work for you without …

    Thanks Doc... Well, I see validity in your points. Good thoughts on the portfolio images and the index buttons. I'm gonna tweak the nav more. The Dropdown on the QandAs is fine on all browsers for me... I'll look into it more. Its just…

    Yea, very good for just starting out. You will find yourself changing things here and there often as you continue to learn more about design elements, etc. I just noticed off the bat, your glowing logo is ~10 px or so into the nav border. You also…

  • Looking for criticism

    Yea, the changes look much better. I noticed one thing when I just looked at it now, your nav and content section is off by 1px it looks like.. its 1 px over to the right so there is just a 1px line appearing on the left. I'm using the latest…

    Hey Guys, thanks for the feedback, any and all is appreciated. I know the design is kind of contrasting in terms of focus, but that was the idea.. I wanted the folder background to look like a presentation folder, and all the paperclips holding thi…

  • Logo distortion

    Well yes, they will... Especially since your background is just one large image. You see, even though you have multiple logos on there, once you save an image as a file, it is just one image. Now, if resizing isn't intuitive, you can always h…

  • What Photo Viewer or Method?

    I agree... It's like naming your mp3s... Whats the best file name for it? "Song Name - Artist" or maybe even add Album in there. Personally for stock photos, I immediately rename them once I download it otherwise I know I'll pro…

    Not only is h1 good SEO, h2 and h3, etc is as well. Headers are usually over-views of the proceeding content, so search engines like them... Or so they lead us to believe. ;) I like the design... I would just suggest that you make the little curre…

  • Difference between list-style and list-style-type ?

    List-style is simply the shorthand version for styling your list. List style type specifically refers to the indicator to the left such as the ever popular none, or disc, decimal, etc. So, you could say list-style: is to margin: as list-style-typ…
