Greetings Gary

http://www.seobythesea.com/?p=406 I found this for you... doesn't give all the answers but it explains a bit Seems to be some sort of experiment. Oli

Firebug is to key to understanding things like that

I think the resolution your camera takes pictures at is actually the important bit... No Matter how many pixel you have, If your camera output pictures at 72dpi (dots per inch), your photos won't be fit for print. Before someone else says it, yes you can resample images but resampling from 72 to 300dpi (which is what you should be after for print quality) will just destroy your images all together. So, MP is one thing but the resolution is THE thing Oli

Well... this is a bit of js + css. The scribbles are one big image (a transparent gif) that you can see there http://www.principlesofbeautifulwebdesign....s/scribbles.gif placed into a div. A js call triggers on rollover and display the div with absolute positioning on top of the layout That's it! hope this makes sense Oli

Anytime

Well!!! I'm too late on that one Welcome to you greaterweb I just had a look at the code too. To me, the problem is your doctype declaration (top of the html page), get rid of your xml declaration. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> This switches IE6 to quirck mode and ruines the all thing for you (and you don't need it anyway). Once you have done that, the container will center align itself without using the text-align property. the rest is exactly what was said above I've attached your stylesheet to show you how I would "amend" it. Well done on the site, It look really cool;) style.css Oli

I did.. but i was in french for me

quack quack

Not just a boy thing

If you do your bits in photoshop, you can export your result as transparent png and import in fireworks that way Should work well Oli

merci

cool, I'm pleased it helped give me a shout if you need anything else Oli

Do you remember the frosties advert.... They gonna taste great...They gonna taste great......AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 8P I hate that kid... so bad!!! But one day, I found this http://www.dumpalink.com/animations/Frosties-acaa.html It made me feel a whole lot better about it Enjoy! Oli

If you need to style the same elements in different way within the same page, my way of doing it would be this: First in you page, make sure you give id's(or classes) to your lists <ul id="first_list"> <li><a href="#">item one</li> <li><a href="#">item two</li> <li><a href="#">item three</li> </ul> <ul id="second_list"> <li><a href="#">item one</li> <li><a href="#">item two</li> <li><a href="#">item three</li> </ul> <ul id="third_list"> <li><a href="#">item one</li> <li><a href="#">item two</li> <li><a href="#">item three</li> </ul> Then from your stylesheet, adress each list this way: #first_list li { whateverstyle: youneed; } #second_list li { whateverstyle: youneed; } #third_list li { whateverstyle: youneed; } Et voila! Hope this helps Oli

This is a choice to make i suppose... I'm happy coding site that looks their best in modern browsers and simply degrades in "older" less compliant browsers. IE7 beeing a critical update from microsoft now , the majority of people still using IE6 (in my mind) are people with: 1 - a NON genuine version of windows 2 - an old version of windows I have IE6 and IE7 for testing purposes and I always make sure layouts don't break in both but for little features like the one discussed here, if it doesn't work in IE6, tough. I really don't want to under use technology for the sake of only a minority.. This technique only affects the aesthetic (visual) aspect of a site and does not affect the functionality of it so I'm happy using it

I love the look of the Icon in my toolbar

Mind the IE6 prob.... Damn you microsoft

I like FireFTP which is a (free) firefox extension that you can find here. Otherwise, if you work on mac Cyberduck is B R I L L I A N T Oli

Hello! Some people discussed CSS3 here recently and I was wondering if any of you actually use some of the (cool) CSS 2 features? As a little intro, I thought I'd explain the adjacent sibling selector. As complex as the name sounds, the technique is actually pretty simple, the idea is to be able to target an element based on the element that is before it. Still doesn't make sense? Alright, here's an example. We have a site at work full of articles. Each article has the following structure: Title (<h1>) Lead(<p>) Body(<p>) The lead for each article has a class attribute of lead just so that we can style it and make it bold and a different color. Now the code is something like that <!-- In the xhtml page --> <h1>Title of the Article</h1> <p class="lead">This is a little intro to the following article</p> <p>This is the body of our article</p> /* In the Stylesheet */ .lead { font-weight: bold; color: #333; } Nothing wrong with that but semanticly speaking this isn't the best. So in CSS 2, they have introduce the adjacent sibling selector. Using the above, here's what the code looks like: <!-- In the xhtml page --> <h1>Title of the Article</h1> <p>This is a little intro to the following article</p> <p>This is the body of our article</p> /* In the Stylesheet */ h1 + p { font-weight: bold; color: #333; } Cool isn't it!!! Basically , the + sign target the <p> element positioned directly after the <h1> and ONLY THIS ONE. The body of our article would not inherit the style. Obviously..... IE6 and below doesn't support this but hey no surprise there... Anyway that's it, I hope some of you will learn something here! Laters Oli

Looking forward to it

Company blog is a really good idea monsieur Ben

thank you ben :Db: as E said, I think it'd be cool to get some requests so we can write things that are needed and will get used

good idea I'm up for that! Oli

It depends what you are going to sell, who your clients will be and a lot of other things really.... In my opinion, one good thing to consider on e-com site is some sort of user review/comment facility. I don't know you but I always read reviews on amazon, apple, ebay... I find it more relevant and easier to use than a forum.. forum might be a good idea if you need to implement some sort of support area... Hope this helps! Oli
