 | I'm not sure whether SEO is unethical or not, to be honest.... the desire to appear within the top listings is fair enough... attempting to ensure that your site is their is only natural. If this requires optimisation, then fine. What I beleive to be unethical is the methods by … |
| | Apparently, having "-" in the URL is a very good thing, unlike having "_". If you consider... [url]http://www.my-cat-and-mat-site.com/the-cat-sat/on-the-mat[/url] [url]http://www.mycatandmatsite.com/thecatsat/onthemat[/url] [url]http://www.mycatandmatsite.com/the_cat_sat/on_the_mat[/url] Okay... basically the same information, but with/without - or _. Now it appears that Google will look at Hyphenated words as indiviudal words. Thus my-cat-and-mat-site can be read as... my … |
| | Re: web design help Precomend something called XAT....It's one of my little secrets, (erm..was!) for img reduction. Works wonders and gives strong control. |
| | OK... I've been got by CSS... I revoke my dislike for it! I think it has potential and could be used constructively! I hate CSS! I sat up till 5:30 odd this moring... simply trying to make a header with 3 images, a left end, center and right end.... so … |
 | Hmm... pause and think a moment. Are you selecting a List Item... or a Link? You should maybe be assigning the "selected" class to the <a> instead of the <li>? Give that a go, and see how you fair. |
 | There may be a solution, but I can almsot gaurentee that it will only work on a few browsers! |
| | To do the sort of thing you wnat, you will have to design the DB in one of the following fashions... 1) keyword tables.... have tables with the correct word/term....then have fields for all the additional alternatives and abbrv. 2) generate standard tables with the keywards in, then ensure that …  |
| | Okay folks... I'm currently using a CMS system for the vast majority of the sites I build. I have a simple setup for Ecommerce and use the PayPal cart for Cart and Payment. The issue is, two of my Clients are doing rather well, an dare considering go up a … |
| | So, what if the site you have has little wasy of linking to other sites? Say there are no other sites of a related nature, or those that do exist are in competition with you? I'm finding the linking aspect the biggest pain of all... I found keywords and descriptions … |
| | Two methods I can think of. You have the image property for Lists, and you have the background-image proprerty also. [code] li { list-style-image: url(yourimage.ext); } [/code] Or [code] li { list-style: none; background-image : url(yourimage.ext); } [/code] Note, with the background-image method, you may need to apply a bit …  |
| | stymie is correct. I really do not see why people seem to think there is any real differene between "static" and "Dynamic"... you are still putting content on the internet, still using code and tags and content etc. Theo nly differene is you are not manually building each page - …  |
| | Hmmmm Well, when loaded and not used.... Top level H bar is Black links on Red. Hovering over them makes them White. When hovering over a Parent, Drop downs appear. If the child link has no children, it shows White. If it has its own children - it shows Black. … |
| | hmmm... You oculd try using and animated gif/png file.... use a Static image for the initial, and replace it with the animated file on hover, (may not work in all browsers!). You could use JS to fade in an image using some of the JS effects, (try not to use … |
| | Try looking up Anchor and Target :) By using the ID attribute, you have basically made a "jump to link".... usually, in the anchor, you'd have to have something like... href="blah.html/#thisonegere"... and in the page markup have an id for "thisonehere". The link is jumping to that point! |
| | Hell, I'm no genius or expert....... but it really does depend on several key factors; application / usage ---- light load / heavy load ---- entering data / altering data/ processing data connections / users ---- light / moderate / heavy ---- short periods / long periods time frame --- … |
 | Not wanting to sound funny... but we could do with a little more detail. Okay, so you want to vertically align it... what size is it? Is it a fixed height or will it vary? Can you not supply a link to the IE version of it? (By the way, … |
| | OK, I'm new here, and to the whole web site stuff..... and more than a little confused about the placing on search engines, how to get listed, the time it takes, robots.txt, and how to be ranked higher etc. :?: I have text on my site, I have meta tags … |
| | Do not rely on IE to give you a 'true' image as to how the page will load. For a better picture, test in multiple browsers (such as Mozilla Firefox, Opera etc.). IE has far to many 'easy' bugs (meaning that it is a lot more forgiving of errors and … |
| | Re: Learning CSS tizag alistapart cssplay And Practice practice practice. Avoid using Hacks, there are plenty of work arounds, and it will save you headaches when newer browsers come out. Validate code as you go... otherwise you will cause yourself more problems. Test for accessibility as you go, otherwise you will have to … |
| | Any chance of you being a little more specific as to which sections (putting Here1 and Here2 would have been very helpful).  |
| | Not being funny... but if you look at it in IE6 and then in a more compliant browser, the answer is staring you in the face. Look at the Width of the left content in IE6... then look at how it has "wrapped" in the other browsers. I'm going to …  |
| | IS there not a page for us to quickly look at? Would help us if we could "see" it in different browsers. Further, in most cases, what works in "most vbrowsers2 should work in others with a few tweaks. Some times it's a browser misinterpreting... but more often it boils … |
| | Re: Help with Forms What are you using for that email form? If you are getting alerts, I'm going to guess it may be a Javascript form? You may want to reconsider (or at elast test with JS disabled), as it could be a serious accessibility/usability issue. Alternatively, it oculd be some securtiy setting … |
 | Well... I'd go with something similar to ...TommyBS... You can put in an image and tell it to be 100% 100%... that would get the result you are after... sort of. I suppose if oyu really want to have content on top of it, you could use relative positioning and … |
| | Okay... can you be a little more specific about the "stretch the full height". By definition, an element (such as a div etc.) will either automatically expand to contain the content... or remain a set size if you apply a Height to it (barring IE, which treats height as min-height!). …  |
| | It's down to how hte Browsers tend to repond - DocTypes tend to act as "how to read this" instructions to the Browser. You'll find things like Quirks mode and the Box model in IE are different than Strict mode and the Box Model (look it up). There is also … |
| | Well, thats done with script. Tehre are multipel ways to do it... I'd say the more "reliable and safe" methods depending on your server (php/asp etc.). You could do it with JS... but please be careful, as that requires JS to be enabled on the visitors computer, and is ignored … |
| | Never used DW in my life... but I can have a guess for you. If the ARticle is held in a DB, then you should beable to "fetch it"... If you have cvreated the article so it has split content fields "a blurb/intro field" and "a main body field", then … |
| | Okay... making a form is not reliant upon server side scripting... making the form do something often is. On the upside, if all you are wanting is something for emails, then the chances are your host has some basic scripts/cgi/perl etc. that you can use, and that are fairly simple … |
| | You should be able to resize the text using CSS. [CODE]h1 { font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; }[/CODE] That should resize the contents of any h1 (nopte, in some DocTypes there should only be 1), to the desired size. Please note: I have set it to being 1em. By default, that …  |
| | Thats basic CSS Tab menus. Plenty of examples on line, and a few different ways of doing it. Basically, you use css background images (either for the curved ends, to to put a curve on the corners). As for the "transparent background" images... that should be answered too... :D |
| | erm... possibly the wrong forum... maybe the Programming/Scripting forums would get more answers? Still, in an effort to assist... If you are dealing with "calendar values"... then you could look up VB finctions for calendar/date/day/month etc. Alternatively, as you know the likely input, you could do a bunch of If/ElseIf … |
| | Re: position help Okay... 2 questions for you... 1) What are you attempting to do? 2) Why are you using "fixed" ? If you want something "locked" into position, try using "position: absolute;". Please be warned... position: absolute will make itself "positioned" in realtion to the last positioned item. So if the item/container … |
| | Re: png files in ie6 MAybe a little late to the party... but are you wanting some form of "opaqueness" in the image (such as a drop shadow that can be partially seen through)? If not, save the png with index transparency, as it's Alpha transparency that IE struggles with. Alpha image filter should be … |
| | You may find that you have issues with stacking/rendering due to "haslayout" problems (IE sucks due to that). If it helps, try applying one of the following to either the item that is failing, or it's parent; zoom: 1; display: block; position: relative; Alternatively, check if you are applying height/width, … |
| | Where is the JavaScript for IE6? No offence, but almost every writeup I've seen for CSS based behavioural menus clearly mke mention that [B]it will not work in IE[/B]. Try looking up Sucker Fish, Son of Sucker Fish, Super Sucker Fish etc. Those provide you with a simple setup and … |
| | Re: css help Please, more information! Still, for guessing... [B]Initial Call...[/B] [code=css]{ background-image: url(images/mypicture.jpg); }[/code] Is the initial CSS to use. Please note that the URL can be handled in 2 different ways. 1)Explicit - you use the FULL path to the file... such as from the root directory... images/products/bigimages/happyimage.jpg 2)Relative - the … |
 | Erm, when you say "Cross Browser Compatible", don't suppose you could list which Browsers and O/S's it is compatible with... (Horizontal parent with Vertical Child Drop-downs seem the most difficult and Browser stuffable Menu to date :() Of course, if you know it works, then I'll take it! ;) |
| | Well... part of the problem may be using tables.... you may want to look into DIVS etc instead! That aside... it will depend on whether you have applied a height to the HTML, Body and the TABLE of 100%. |
| | ... compengr ... No offence, but what .. MidiMagic .. has said is very true - this is no little project you hae decided to go for. That said, so long as you have the correct tables with the corret data in it.... it shouldn't be overly difficult, so long … |
| | Okay.. please sit back and think. You have come to a internet community, that like many others, is built up of the professional, semi-professional, the hobbyists and the amatuers. All the people in any such community are there due to a willingness to learn and a want to develop.... to … |
| | I'm confused... When you say "dropdown list" ... do you mean a Form Select that acts as a jump menu... or a "list" of links with CSS/JS to make them appear/disappear? I'm not sure how SE's react to the Form Select (I would guess they cannot seem then as "real … |
| | Hi folks... Awkward topic for me to discuss... but I'm seriously doubting myself onthis one... Am I being overly critical? I look through the "reviews" section and do my best to find problems, and list them, often with the possible cause or a solution. I do this in several communities, …  |
 | Okay... Have you tried using z-index: nnn; (nnn being some numeric value). It would also help if the Navigation was not "in the document flow"... meaning it should be seperate to everything else, jsut in case certain browsers don't want to play properly. |
| | Please try Validating your code... (this will require the inclusion of DocType and CharSet!) Quite often this sort of thing occurs due to tags/elements not being closed properly... esp. in very compliant browsers such as MFF. It may also be due to quirks/non-standard mode being implemented by defautl, or the … |
| | Well - I'm going to guess you resolved the issue... as in bith IE6 and MFF1+ (win), the sites seem good (not like the images). Removed the defualt Margin/Padding from the Header? |
| | Ermmm seems to be working in IE6 and MFF1.5 on Win XP SP2 |
 | 1) Technically, the "best" is the one that most of your users will have. 2) I still use 800 as the minimum (776px). 3) Do you mean Flexible or Fluid? Flexible is equal to Elastic... it shifts from a Min to a Max... Fluid generally means it will keep on … |
| | Hmm - dam good question. I tought that they would automatically be "seperate"... If you can, think of it as two seperate table cells... I always thought the bullet was in the left one, the text in the right... Where as you are saying you see the bullet, you have … |
The End.
