  • Column of Floated Images help

    you could set up the wordpress buttons they could do it with them instead of coding.

  • EM-based-website

    for your sticky footer try changing your vertical margins for padding. That should hopefully sort that. I found 2 cases of vertical margin at 1em and that would be the 20px you're talking about (since you set 1 em to 62.5%). these were id=butto…

  • Column of Floated Images help

    could you use a list to put the images in and float that to the right?

  • EM-based-website

    I personally, don't like elastic websites as I use a wide-screen monitor. It makes the centre column almost unreadable with so many words per line. Laptop users will have the same problem. I'd definitely take Chris's advice on set…

  • centering a floated item

    Set the page-wrap div with a width as a percentage, that way your centre column could be fluid.

  • Dos and Don'ts of Design

    Frames are bad, because Search engine robots can't read the pages properly. If you aren't bothered about the site being found on search sites, use frames. if you do want it to be searchable, use poistion: fixed, but this doesn't work…

  • Cannot get sticky footer to work!

    you need to use the min height on the wrapper div. My guess is you've set a margin (although I haven't read your code) if this is the case change it for padding. I will probably get a chance to look later.

    have you thought about using sprites?

  • Cannot get sticky footer to work!

    you need to set your body and html height to 100% you also need a div which encompases the whole page (including the push div), but not the footer.

  • CSS questions of whether it is possible...?

    1) Yes it can be done - in fact that's how you get sprites to work. 2)Yes you use float to get them to line up. If you use float left the first will be the left most item and the last will be the right most item. If you use float right, the …

  • When can we stop designing with IE6 in mind?

    I think we will have to keep designing for IE6 as there will still be lots of people using IE 6 when IE 8 comes out. There will be too high a percentage of companies and universities that can't afford to upgrade their systems, especially in th…

  • Testing Flash Player for Screencasts on Web

    quicktime is the best IMO. I think the majority of people who visit this site and want to watch the videos will have it installed. Your target audience is pretty savvy with the internet. I definitely second the keeping the download option though. …

  • Layout issues

    Yeah, put your form in a div - tables are for data, not content! It will also make layout much easier. The problem you is you have is you used a table for half of your content, then divs for the other. So the table is taking up the entire width of …

  • Using classes effectively in CSS

    I don't really like technique 2, only because you may decide to move one of the divs some where else at a later date. doing it this way would make more work for yourself. I prefer to just tell each class what to do separately. more like: .c…

  • ORDERED LIST BULLET FONT SIZE

    You can use tags to change the style of the list - the CSS: ol { style of your number { ol p { style of your text } the HTML: First thing Second thing Third thing Fourth thing Fifth thing

  • Getting the family off ie6

    "Towers" said:Do something really passive aggressive, like coding a family photo website that is purposefully broken in IE6, and then tell him you can't fix it because IE6 is so terrible. If you really wanted to be a jerk, you could …

  • Content boxes on right side of website

    what you've been told is spot on already, except I wouldn't have a class or id with 'right' in it, as later on you may decide the menus look better on the left hand side and change it over. This would then be confusing.

  • IE6 & Vista

    I've been pointed in the direction of Tredosoft where a hack is being tested out to get this happening. It looks like I'm going to have to use virtual PC until this Tredosoft finish their work.

  • Navigation in bottom of xhtml but on top of page

    That doesn't seem very semantic to me. I feel as though you should put it in your code relative to how it appears on the page. If anywhere I would say put it at the top, and under the logo and title, so at least if a user has css turned off t…

  • Past Browser Version Support Question.

    I would also add the last version of Netscape to that list. I know there is no more support for it, bit there will be plenty of plebs and the odd educational facilities still using it.
