  • Espresso and Coda ( similarities & differences )

    Take a look at TextMate too - it's the daddy of text editors on the mac. You can trial TextMate and Coda (Espresso is still in development), so have a good play with each before you buy.

  • Safari not seeing the CSS file

    You have errors in your stylesheet, fix them and see how you get on. Safari is seeing your stylesheet but the styling gets 'broken' at some point.

  • ftp vs sftp

    Not all web hosts allow sFTP, so you may have no choice but to use FTP. If you do have the option, then always use sFTP.

    Does it show if you remove @media screen, print{ from the CSS file? ... and of course it's partnering '}' at the end of the file.

  • min-width in ie6?

    No. Use width and height instead for IE6. It's a very old browser so don't worry too much about making your site look exactly like it does in modern browsers - as long as the content is accessible then you'll be fine.

  • Need CSS Hack that targets only Netscape 8

    I'd be interested to know why you want to target such an antiquated browser? Netscape 8 was a proprietary broswer based on Firefox 1.0, so a well structured html4.01/css2.0 combo shouldn't throw up too many problems. If it does, then whoev…

  • em: how do you start?

    With all newer browsers using a zoom action to make the entire page bigger by pixels, rather than only making the font larger - there's a good argument for not using ems at all. I have returned to pixel-based websites for this reason, while off…

  • A few problems with website display in different browsers.

    Post your html too - or beter still, post a link to a live page. If your CSS isn't being seen, then you perhaps haven't linked to it correctly. So check you LINK element in your html head and make sure the path-to-css-file is correct.

  • What after basic skills?

    After basic skills, I'd suggest moving on to advanced skills - rather than spreading yourself too thinly across too many areas. Get very good indeed in the areas you've already begun developing.

  • need expert commnt on some XHTML elements

    Semantics is all about the intended meaning of the content you're wishing to mark up. It has nothing to do with style. big is a visual attribute, therefore it's a style, so has no place in your html. is also style, so should not be used. …

  • correct use of

    The first is correct. p=paragraph so a new paragraph should begin with a tag. There aren't many reasons to ever use - one might be for representing poetry, where each line is not a paragraph but demands it's own space.

    It's hardly new - not in web terms. Microformats are a method of marking-up types of content to be easily lifted or shared with other websites or applications. For instance, the name and address of your company can have certain class names attr…

    you're right in suspecting that testing sites in safari on windows isn't enough. Macs render fonts differently (arguably more accurately) and these subtle differences can affect some designs. Browsershots is a good site, but if you are ser…
