  1. I totally echo this statement. Chrome sorts itself out if you get firefox right.
  2. Create yourself a PDF ( www.adobe.com) Then link to it from the site. It'll open in a browser window also. Hope this helps
  3. If I'm to be honest, I'd use tables all the time if I could!! The only downfall tables ever had was when they were nested ... But that was only a problem when we all used dial up and only really effected download time when sites had multiple nests. I'm not a big fan of the way different browsers render CSS. Like yourself I use CSS 100% of the time, and have done for a long time, but I do get tired of having to apply fix's so the browser displayed the site as I designed it. Back in the good old table days, I could have a site up in a 1/3 of the time or sooner than some CSS sites take. CSS is great for web standards (can they not make a screen reader that reads tables perfectly? ), but sucks for workflow I just wish all the browsers would talk to each other and come up with a definitive plan, then CSS would be a joy to work with ....
  4. No no, you're right. No apology needed. I just first learnt by editing the CSS and seeing what everything did from an already created CSS site. That's just me liking to work backwards. I find it much easier that way, though it's not for everyone. Sometimes you can have so much information thrown at you all at once it can sometimes be hard to grasp.
  5. I do like this one. It's clean, it's quick with a very nice feel to it. On the down side, it looks a little bit too much like a template for me ... A nice template, but a template nonetheless. Forgive me if I'm out on this though. Although, in saying that, most users probably wouldn't notice and will love the site. It's just a little harder to get it past a designer I guess.... As we are all critical ... About ourselves moreso though ;o) Good job though, very well done.
  6. It's quite a simple process. Slice your image. Then do the following File/Save for web and devices. Select your format (jpg, gif, png) Click Save In the save to window that opens, look at the settings drop down ... Change that to OTHER. That will open another window .... In the settings of that window select XHTML .... In the drop down below select slices.... Then you'll see you can select an option to Generate CSS ... Select it and click OK. Then click Save. Hey presto .... A CSS website!!! Hope this helps
  7. I'd go with the safer option of paying a couple of East London Gangsters protection money! Then you could mimic Mr T with 'I pity the fool who tries to take my pictures' Although, a neat trick I once spotted ... Not that effective as if the person who steals your image wants it bad enough they'll get it .... But.... I've seen website place a totally transparent picture over the image, so when the person right clicks the image and saves as, they're only really saving the transparent image. As I say, if they want it, they'll get it, but you might fool the odd person and you may even annoy a couple of others. Then not only that, with this in place, if you were to go to a court of law, then you can describe in great details how they not only ignored your copyright notice, but went to extra lengths to plagiarise your image.
  8. A novel idea on the sketchpad, but I think I'll stick with my brain for now However, I LOOOOOVE the drumstick idea Lee !!! And much like Helen, I too initially thought of the Lollipop
  9. I generally like the old Verdana. Sure it's a little bit wider, but it's a good read. Arial comes in second though.
  10. You should always target the majority of your target audience when building flash sites. For an all round flash site, designing for 1024x768 would be preference. As I say, it really does all depend on your target audience. If it was for a gamers site, then 1680x1050 might be the way to go. I hope it all works out for you.
  11. Hey, some nice designs there. I'm especially drawn to the Sorte no Amor website. I've absolutely no idea why!!
