hotscripts is real nice website. im definitely going to use that one but that wasnt it. I remember that on the site u could buy a flash uploading template for say 10 bucks but if u registered it was 8 or something. i still cant find this site....

Hey guys, i've somehow misplaced an important website that i used to go to and can not remember the name of it anymore. It was a place where you could get pieces of code, flash, css, templates...etc. for cheap to assist with building websites n such. I cant remember the name, and if i have to do another google search im going to go crazy....If anyone has any idea what im talking about, please let me know what this site is. Thanks. Tekk

This was real helpful. I was actually about to post on this, but one more question. So is it ok so say that making a site at 2000 px wide is ok for all websites? I've been struggling with this for a while. I don't know what size to make backgrounds. But is 2000 is good than ill do that from now on. I just don't want things to scroll. I believe I understand tho now it was because I was using the background as a picture instead.

any examples you guys have would help as well. Im a real visual person so if i can see it, i can usually figure out how to do it.

sounds real cool. So this is what im hearing so far. No flash intro but a flash header. Css base with interactive javascript. I think i can do that. Should i try to go for a template or do this from scratch, and if its from scratch where do i start? i am very good at editing templates and recreating something from nothing, but creating a css layout from scratch is new to me. If i do go at this from scratch, i want it to be simple, and clean, yet effective. Also what sort of javascript do you think would be helpful in terms of interactiveness? Just trying to gather all my resources.

Hey guys, I have a project i want to start for a hip hop music studio/music production team. Im debating whether i should go for majority flash or css, though flash would take me forever and i don't think i have enough experience to develop a full flash website. If i do css though, i will be adding in some sort of flash material, im just not sure how i want it to look, or how i want to lay it out. Im looking for any suggestions, ideas, comments, even templates if you got em. im thinking something on the darker side. The studio is called Heat Studios, and the production team is called Double Up Productions. My first idea was to split it up into 2 sites initially, but i bought the doubleupprod.com domain name so its technically for the production team. My second idea was just to make it for the production team and have a studio influence with the logo and such. Anything you can provide, i will be thankful for. Thanks

ahh i think i understand that. i guess i thought that the whole picture was shrinking to fit each screen because the background was extremely large. Thanks for the explanation and the help with this. I guess another question, not really sure if i should open up another thread or not, but im wondering do most designers do it this way, or is there another way that could be easier to do it? Any ideas or threads someone can point me to, i would be appreciative. Thanks alot dangreaves. Tekk

so sorry. www.myspace.com/dhsmoove

sorry for the wait, here's an example. A friend's myspace i just started on. The background is just as you said, fixed, top center, but it doesent show the whole image, just the top part of it. Also, the image is still in maximum size, reguardless of the resolution of the screen. I hope that helps for an example.

I tried that, and i realized it was fixed, but when i did it, no matter what screen resolution it was, the picture always came up at maximum resolution, so it never looked right on any screen other than the max. Is there something i did wrong?

Hey, im having a bit of difficulty with something. I've been doing some research and i havent been able to figure out. I created this myspace page for a client of mine, and it looks fine and dandy, ie. www.myspace.com/doubleupprod. The site is good and all but i've been trying to create a background that fits for every myspace page like so...www.myspace.com/nerdofficial. I've gone through the code, and i've tried some things but i still havent been able to figure out how they did it. Their background is huge, (cant remember exact dimensions) yet it stays the same for every resolution. If anyone has any idea i do that, and keep it center like that, i'd be more than glad to know. Thanks. Tekk

Thanks alot guys, this helped big time. especially this one! http://gueschla.com/labs/smoothbox/ Appreciate it

Hey, i've done some looking, and i dont know exactly the name of what im looking for but im pretty sure if i explain it, people will know what im talking about. Im creating this website for a client, and what im trying to do is have someone click on a link and have that link open up a smaller browser with text. So as opposed to clicking the link, and opening a whole new browser with the URL bar and everything else, i just want like a mini browser, just to display a bit of text. I've seen it before plenty of times, but now i cant find a website with it, now that im trying to create it.(go figure). If anyone has any sites i can check out to get some ideas from, or know an easy way to do it, i'd really appreciate it. Thanks

Not really sure if this has been covered but i've been tampering with css in myspace for about a few hours now and i am completely lost as to how to get my pictures to show up. I think i understand the coding behind what i did, i followed some tutorials and read up on some information about how myspace reacts to css, and i thought it made sense until i tried it. At this point, i cant get any pictures to show up. This is the code that i have so far... <style type="text/css"> .btext {display:none;} .contacttable {display:none;} .lightbluetext8 {display:none;} .nametext {display:none;} .orangetext15 {display:none;} .redlink {display:none;} .whitetext12 {display:none;} .hidethem {visibility:hidden; display:none;} .comments {visi­bility:hi­dden;display:none;} </style> <style> body { background-color:000000; background-image:url('http://www.tekkbeatz.com/storage/mgbackground.jpg'); background-attachment:fixed; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-align:center center; } table tr td { background-color:ffffff; } .layerone { background-image:url('http://www.tekkbeatz.com/storage/bio.jpg'); background-attachment:fixed; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-align:center center; z-index:2; } my problem is the bio picture wont appear for the life of me, i've tried declaring layerone as a div using <div class="layerone"></div> but that didnt work out. Also, if anyone has any advice or know of any tutorials online where you can learn custom myspace design using css, i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks Tekk

Hey, im doing a bit of research on how i should be creating my web templates and designs, and i thought it might be beneficial if i found out how everyone else, from start to finish, created their templates, designs, etc. Most people have their own unique way of doing things. Im not looking for anything particularly specific, but just some brief ideas. Like do you start out writing the Css first? Creating images? etc. Just trying to get an idea of what i should be doing. Anything helps... Thanks

Hey all. I have somewhat of a small situation. Im pretty good at working with Css and html, xhtml...etc. but alot of them, i haven't done from scratch too often. I can manipulate css easily and understand how it works, but is there anywhere that anyone knows of that would be a good place to practice in terms of professional websites? Im just curious because i could spend a few hours trying to develop a css layout but i think there are probably more efficient ways to do it, hopefully one with a purpose. If anyone has any ideas on where to start or where to practice, i would appreciate it. Im thinking of something in the realm of "do it yourself" but follow these instructions or make it like this...etc. Thanks Tekk

interesting stuff. I liked it

Hey all, this is Tekk here. Im new to the forum. Im a growing web developer, and im hoping to learn alot here. There seems to be alot of information to go through. Thanks for having me. Peace Tekk
