Mac browers, which ones are important
Well done on getting a mac they rock My advice would be to develop EVERYTHING in a standard compliant browser ( safari is good although the form styles are a bit annoying, or firefox), try not to use hacks, make sure your code validates. Then check everything in IE (I know it can't hurts) amend or create a separate style sheet if necessary and use conditional so that IE get its own Stylesheet. Once you've done that you're site should works cross browser... following standards is what matters. Browsers you mentioned are good and will not break your site, bad code will My opinion, hope this helps Oli

Cloud Tag
If you wanted it for word press for example and wanted to display your category as a cloud, I'd probably use the post per category count and some conditionals in php to set different class names on the links. something like, if post count < 10 class equal small if post count>10 & post count<20 class equal medium if post count>20 class equals big then in your css, create the classes small, medium and big with the font-size you want and that gives you a starting point! Obviously, if you want more than 3 different size, just use more conditionals.... That is a SIMPLE way to do it and the first thing that came to my mind... You would hit problems once all your categories have more than 20 posts tho.... So if you want to make it a bit more bullet proof, try using actual calculation. You could use the overall post count and calculate the percentage each category represents then multiply that by a constant that would return you a font size in em's..... These 2 example can be apply to anything, not just categories in wordpress. The principle of a cloud is to reflect popularity visually so you (should) always have some sort of count somewhere. That's only 2 ways you could use to achieve the effect, I'm sure there are plenty more... Use your head Hope this makes sense Oli

ASK the technation, ask me a question!
- How to: update football league table (from official league site) onto team's home page ?
Hi there! Welcome to the forum You need to find out if your official league website has an API or a feed as suggested before. Once you know that, come back and we'll go from there. Oli- ASK the technation, ask me a question!

Good on you Don't underestimate the importance of packaging Oli- Show your support
you're sweet you are. thank you very much. Make you're own banner up tho, the current design is not the nicest... A redesign is planned very very soon Olivier- So I got vista
I recommend them! They are just fab. The new Intel mac also allow you to run both OS/win which is just brilliant for testing GET ONE!!!!! Hi, I'm a mac and I'm a PC Oli- ASK the technation, ask me a question!
I think this is a very good idea. However, not the type of service I would use. When I have a question, I need the answer: 1 - N O W 2 - I like more than one answer so that I can make my own final answer (< I hope that makes sense) 3 - ( This is going to sound bad...) the look of site, especially a technical site like yours, is VERY relevant. I know this is silly but I would not ask a question (regarding, (X)HTML, CSS, PHP, programming, web development, web design, hardware and gadgets, software and OS and many technology related topics) to a site that doesn't look "up to it" My opinion, no criticising, just commenting Oli- Do people still use Pantone colors?
Pantones are Still used, of course, they are the essence of branding and probably the most reliable way to get color accuracy... What you should do is get a pantone book from your printer, get your client to choose their color out of the pantone book and design using their chosen pantone color.This will assure that when printed, their color is exactly the one they want. Using CMYK relies on your screen being calibrated. To access pantone in Illustrator (depending what version you use) go to window > Swatch Library and you should fine all your pantone sets there. Hope this helps Oli- So I got vista

Thank you all for your support... I'll be putting the video on the site next week so if any of you are interested in watching it, I'll post a link. thanks again Oli E I agree with what you said but as you mentioned, the program was around the innocents' brief... shame. However, it has raised awareness and a lot of people have posted + signed the petition which is a good thing. did you see my sister in it?- Show your support
hi Everyone, Hope you're all well. I just wanted to let you all know about something that's pretty important to me. A few years ago a friend of my sister and I was send to prison for a murder he did not commit. At the time I did a site for him to support a campaign my sister is running. Tonight, after years of fighting, the BBC is broadcasting a program on Simon and why his conviction looks very suspicious. Now I'm not posting this to get comments about the design or functionality of the website(which was built in 2003) but for you all to(if you can) watch the program, read the website and maybe sign the petition and the guestbook to show your support. All messages are passed on to Simon and believe me, any words go straight to his heart. So please please please, have a read, decide what you think of the case and if you feel like it, show some support! thank you all very much Olivier The program is on tonight at 10.35 on BBC1 Simon sites is here http://www.justice4simon.co.uk Latest BBC article about the case is here- Anchors and IE
I tested it on IE6/7 FF2 on windows + FF2 & Safari on MAC... Very strange 80- Anchors and IE
and also, you should add alt tag to your back to top images, just in case someone don't see the images, they would still see a link! Just a thought Oli Pretty site you have there btw- Anchors and IE
Hello again I have just had a play. If you move the <a name> out of the div it works (for me anyway). So at the moment you have <div id="top"> <img src="img/top.jpg" width="827" height="80"><a name="top"></a> </div> on line 101 Put this instead <div id="top"> <img src="img/top.jpg" width="827" height="80"></div><a name="top"></a> And it should work hope this helps Oli- Anchors and IE
Hi there and welcome to the forum We had similar problem the other day actually... try moving your <a name> about, it did the trick for us. But as ben said, if you post your code, it'll be easier to help you out Oli - How to: update football league table (from official league site) onto team's home page ?
