Question about Front page title/logo of a website
Secondly, if I were to go down the html text header, or some other webfont way. What is the best way to do fonts on the web these days? What is the best technique to put the font that I have chosen onto my site main title? Dave.

Question about Front page title/logo of a website
Hi there I want to make a main title of a commerce web page. The thing is, I dont know if they just use webfonts for these or they use photoshop elements to make this part. For example, the "Amazon" word in the main heading of the amazon.com, or in fact any major website has a main header/logo, which tents to be clickable and returns you to the home page. Does anyone know, I know they used to do it with graphics, but what do most people do today now that webfonts are out? I think it has an impact on SEO, and this is why I'm debating which way in my mind I should go. What is the norm? Photoshop graphic, or html, or some kind of webfont thingy? I have the font I want to use, just not sure if I should just take this element fro photoshop and make it graphic item in the page or make it html header. Dave.

Photoshop says it's 850 pixels high, but my div needs 950 pixels..
Hi So I have an image 850 pixels high, but the div that I want to put it in, seems to require a height of 950 pixels to display the entire image. Is this strange or expect behaviour? David.

Fullwidth background photo
HI there I'm interested in making a website with the first 500px worth of height taken up by a full width image. I have it in a body like this: <body> <div class="container"> <div id="main_image"> <p>Let me put some content here.</p> </div> <div id="main_text" </div> </div> </body> There are a couple of problems with this. 1) the image doesn't go all the way to the top of the screen. There are about 15 pixels at the top that it doesn't cover. I imagine this is from the fact that its a div nested within a div nested within the body. So I have solved this, but i'm open to your opinion about my solution and whether is a more correct way to do it. I simply made the margin-top: -15px and it fixed it. 2) I am having the same problem with the sides of the image. I want the image to go all the way to the browser edge, but this isn't happening. This is where I'm stuck. I tried the same technique with the left and right margin, but all that did is shunt the div over to the left and so I have a white gap on the right side of the div between the edge of the browser and the div. Is it a css problem or a html problem? Or both? What's the generally accepted solution to this kind of problem? David.

I was going to use Java but it seems everyone is using PHP
HI I want to make an ecommerce site, and well, I thought Java would be a good language to use, but I have done some research and it seems everyone might be saying to use Java 5 years ago, but the stats now say that php is the language to use. I google "Which language to use?" and some results pages don't even mention java. I also looked up jobs to get an indication of what is being used, and it seems there are 50% more jobs advertised for php than for java. Is java on the way out or something? Is there a reason why I would use PHP over java? David.

Rounded corner icon on a square corner artboard
Thanks for your reply. That prompted me to go and try and find out how to do what you told me to do. Then I found something on the internet and it mentioned exporting to photoshop. So I tried that and it put my artwork straight onto a transparent background. Now it's just my artwork without the white square corners on a transparent artboard. I'm sure that's simple for most people here, but this problem took me hours to find a solution too. Thanks.

Rounded corner icon on a square corner artboard
Hi there. I'm very new to web design and adobe products. Now I have done two tutorials on those small rounded corner iphone icons for illustrator. But at the end, when I have finised it, and saved for web, it doesn't quite crop all of the artboard away. I have the orange rounded corner square icone, but in each corner is the white artboard filling out the make the square corners. I have asked in the AI forums about this and there was no response. I then did a video tutorial on making a web header in photoshop. This header wasn't rectangular, it had a curved lower edge. At the end of the tutorial the guy cropped it and the crop was in the encompassing rectangle shape, i.e. once again, there was white residue artboard under the lower edge of the header. Why is this not a worry to the designers? It's a worry to me because when I embed this icon of mine intot he webpage the white coners show up, instead of me just having the rounder rectangle icon. Can you get rid of this problem? Or is this something that is worked around another way? I attached my icon so you can see what I'm talking about. David.
