nice one pete that was it! thanks!

I've built this charity website for a friend using a simple CMS. I have one annoying glitch on my <a> tag inside my main nav. The links style perfectly on rollover with a different bg color for each. But when you select and go into a nav item the text goes to a dark grey? it should be white (like the rollover). eg. click into the "get involved" page and you'll notice "get involved" is now a dark grey instead of white. why does this happen? I've tried being specific with the CSS right down to the link but nothing gives

SITE My work-in-progress site DESIGN So my designer has given me this design with a horizontal nav. Each <li> item has a right border of 1px. When you rollover the <li> they element appears taller. I've managed to create this simply with CSS - setting the height property to create a taller height. ISSUE: When you rollover each <li> item the previous <li> has a border of 1px. This creates an undesirable hairline to the left of each <li> on rollover. It's pretty fiddling tiny details but very noticeable and my designer wants it like her design. SOLUTION So can I use some javascript to co-oerce some manipulation? Here's how i think i can resolve this... 1. use onmouseover on each <li> to trigger a function 2. this function will take the previous <li> element and set the css to border 1px white (or none) Is this the best way to resolve this? Alhtough I know the fundamentals of javascript I mainly deal in CSS so this kind of script writing is a little beyond me. I could have a crack but... any ideas would be appreciated or if someone could quickly explain to me how I could write this JS. Is it possible select a previous <li> element? here's my rough sketch outline of how i think it works <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- function bordergone( relevant li ) { document.getElementBy li element then take the previous li print new css border: 1px #fffff solid } //--> </script>

Ok, so after some discussions we might trial a "save" button. Suddenly now there isn't much traction behind a name change so we might run a test for "Save". I think Clippings can be figured out as a name while a lone button just saying "clip" is discouraging except for the really curious user. We need them to learn the terminology really.

Hello all, So I work on a large website with thousands of articles. We've built a feature for saving articles to read later. It's called "Clippings" but many users and people within the company feel it's not an intuitive name. Looking around I see the Guardian uses clippings and so do Kindle? So is this a convention? can anyone suggest a better name? Read Later Save for Later Reading My files Saved Notes Documents Boston Globe use a nice fixed div toolbar called "Read later" any ideas out there?

gah... there's no foxit for mac! but there's some basic commenting tools in apple's "preview" pdf program. now i just have to chekc if they can be opened in acrobat/foxit

great! foxit reader then... can you open foxit files in acrobat? (i think so, yeah?)

I'm already doing one form or another of what you guys say. It's just so slow and inefficient. Sometimes you just need to show the 20-30 lines of CSS required to create a particular part of your design. Pasting multiple different parts into a separate readme file and marking up the image files is just way too slow. There's got to be a better way to do it. Adobe Acrobat has a feature where you can position comments on a PDF. You get Adobe Acrobat on Unix but I alas my company didn't by Acrobat Pro

I've got a dev company that only work on linux. Sending over my designs in Photoshop they've been using GIMP to open and use as reference for design. Unfortanately, (as allways) they've missed some design details that make a big difference. In fairness it's hard to guess everything. So I've started inserting Photoshop Notes. These notes have comments with CSS instructions designs and I can insert them above relevent areas. I find it a good solution but... they use linux and don't have photoshop. So is there a program like photoshop where I can position comments over an image? (for linux)

thanks for the video jock. so the upshot is Mike Cohn recommended Roman Pichler as a trainer. It turns out the 2 day "Scrum Master" course is a the best intro into all things agile/scrum. It still seems like way to much. I'm a web designer so I don't really need to know the full backlog/releasing etc and all the minutae of detail. I'm picking it up as a go here anyway... them issue is just the acronyms and terminology. The principle is easy to get really. eg Scrum Master is basically a Project Manager.

Ah, so maybe it's Scrum that I need an introduction too? as that seems to be a model inside Agile. I've heard ScrumMasters being mentioned around the office. I've contacted Mike Cohn and they recommend the ScrumMasters course which I think is too much. I just need someone to introduce it all in broad terms so I'll understand what user stories, stakeholder meetings, roadmaps, backlogs all are. Maybe there's a good book someone can suggest, preferably ebook.

Hello all, I've recently joined a large company that as web designer amongst a team of product managers who develop all their website features and tools using Agile. I'm completely new to Agile and badly feel I need a crash course in how it works. A simple half day or one day would be enough. Does any know a Basic Agile Introduction Training course? Based in London. I've been recommended this guy, Mike Cohen. But his website seems to focus on higher levels than beginners like me.
