see this article for a good explanation of <section>

using jquery, try this: // '129' is the number of quote divs in quotes.html // to get this value you could use size() and ajax var randomNum = Math.floor(Math.random()*129); $('#result').load('quotes.html div:eq(' + randomNum + ')'); #result is the div into which quotes are loaded quotes.html is the single file that contains quotes each in their own div

Nice idea! Is the competition open to attendees only or can anyone enter?

Try Drupal with the storm collection of modules or ActiveCollab

I think you should design the site so that it creates an atmosphere of mystery, anticipation, tension and delight. At the moment the monochrome colour scheme feels too stark and the layout too corporate. For inspiration, you could check out old magic act posters such as these.

As it is, the site design looks okay but what I really want to see when visiting a site called Coral Media is a lush, colourful undewater coral-scape background filling the entire screen with site content layed on top. I think this could provide a better visual context in which to express who you are and what you do as a company. You could be a bit cheeky with the design. The coral-scape would become the metaphor for your site. I also think the hand-drawn style of the logo and the coral-texture should be applied more consistently. Rather than mixing it with crisp type and straight edges why not try to complement it with more organic forms?

thanks mteam!

I don't mean to be harsh but I can't see any elements that have been designed. All you've done is place some elements and add some random gradients. You're making the mistake of trying to design no content. Get the site content together first, then work out whether that content says what you're trying to say and only when it does should you start designing the page, ensuring that the design remains consistent with your message.

AFAIK, at the moment text-stroke is only supported by Webkit browsers (Safari & Chrome). You could use SVG, which is supported by all browsers except IE (until v9). Or you could use GD or Imagemagick to generate the image on the server.

Maybe something like this?

You're welcome. You can use that site to construct your own css to override or reset browser defaults. Or do a search for 'reset css'. Or use mine: html,body,div,span,object,iframe,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,p,blockquote,pre,a,abbr,acronym,address,code,del,dfn,em,img,q,dl,dt,dd,ol,ul,li,fieldset,form,label,legend,table,caption,tbody,tfoot,thead,tr,th,td,section,article,header,footer,nav,aside,hgroup {margin:0;padding:0;border:0;font-weight:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-size:100%;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;} table {border-collapse:separate;border-spacing:0;} caption,th,td {text-align:left;font-weight:normal;} table,td,th {vertical-align:middle;} a img {border:none;outline:0;} section,article,header,footer,nav,aside,hgroup {display:block;}

Yes. If they cannot supply images and you think they are integral to the design then source some appropriate stock images and charge them to the client.

You're welcome! I agree with you about its questionable use in the wild, but I hadn't come across it before and wanted to understand how it worked. So I messed about with different approaches and this one seems to work well.
