Hello I have a gif image. Half of this image is blank and I would like that this part were transparent. However, another part of the image has colors with some white in between. What can I do in fireworks cs4 to make transparent just the first part of the image which completely blank but not the white colors which might exist in the other part of the image? Thanks

solved again by reducing the padding-right of the footer. Thanks though

Well, I thought that was the solution. In deed, it seems to work pretty well in safari and firefox 3. But I do not know why ie6 seems not to understand very well what I want. Do you have any suggestion for ie6? Thanks

Thank you very much. That is the solution.

Hello guys I am trying to center this site www.arreglaordenador.com but it does not get completely centered. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, one more question php_penguin: You mean that the problem of jQuery is that the filesize of 97.7 KB from the jQuery library might be considered too big, right? Thanks

Hello there I wanted to ask you whether it is worth or not using tools such as jquery or prototype comparing them to javascript. What do you suggest? Using those libraries or rely just on javascript? I knew javascript but I have got to know recently these libraries which seem to reduce the amount of code. Therefore, I do not know much about this issue. Nonetheless, if I have to give it a try, I might think that using just java script gives me more control than using those libraries. On the other hand, those libraries such as jquery or prototype might speed up the development. Please, I would appreciate your suggestions about purposes and pros and cons of using either libraries or only javascript. Thanks in advance

Hello Eleman, I already solved the issue of the position of the drop down menu in ie6 by using a tailored hack for ie6. Nevertheless, as far as I have read, it seems that the two most standard approaches to build drop down menus are Suckerfish Dropdowns and whatever:hover methods. Moreover, it seems that hacks are considered not good although they are used just for letting ie6 display pages with javascript disabled. So, eventually I guess I think that although I already fixed the problem, I might change the solution to use any of those two methods I mentioned. Thanks in advance.

adapt css driven drop down menu and button to ie6 Hello I wanted to ask you a question related to metatradersoftware com I have a button Home with a hover which drops down a menu. To begin with this button change a bit in height from ie to other browsers because of the table html tag that I have included only for ie6. Another thing, the position of the drop down menu in ie6 should be upper than it currently is. In conclusion, I would like to get the same look that this button and menu have in browsers such as opera, safari and firefox but now in ie6 as well. One more thing, this can be done altough I am having some difficulties. If you do not think so, just take a glance at: cssplay.co.uk/menus/final_drop.html or grc.com/menu2/invitro.htm and you will see that these people are using this kind of menu successfully. I would appreciate any idea to get the look I told you for my button and menu. Thanks in advance.

Hello EleMan As I said in my previous post, the dropdown menu already does work in ie6. Nevertheless, its position is strange in ie6 compared to firefox,.... I know that there has to be something to fix it because there is a guy here which does a pretty similar thing and his menu gets the same position in ie6 the same as in the other browsers (he uses li:hover as well). For the time being I am still stuck with this thing. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Ok guys, I already kind of fixed it putting the header with a z-index above the other stuff. However, the positioning of this menu activated in the home button is still a bit different in ie an the rest of browsers. any idea? Another thing: take a look at this. It is useful for developing: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60. Anyways, if you do not have firefox, I can put some code here. Thanks in advance

Hello there This really simple CSS drop down menu I have on the home button of this site www.metatradersoftware.com is driving me mad. I do not know why, but it does not want to work on ie6 altough it is working in Safari, Opera and Firefox. Would you please take a look at it and give me any idea to tackle the problem? Thanks in advance

Wow, those in cssplay seem pretty cool. Thanks

Hello there I would like to ask you a question concerning pop up menus. It turns out that I have seen some techniques which use just CSS. Nevertheless, what I usually see is techniques that use javascript to achieve this pop up menus. It seems to me that javascript might be a more simple and straightforward technique for this purpose although I do not know because I have not implemented neither of them yet. Since I want to build a pop up menu, I would like to hear your suggestions in terms of advantages and disadvantages of css driven pop up menus against javascript menus. As far as I know, javascript is a disadvantage because it might not work sometimes when it is disabled in the browser. But, tell me your point of view, because I am sure you have lot to say about this. Another thing that I would like to do is defining myself the shape and colors of this pop up menus so please, you can bear in mind this point for any suggestion concerning the previous paragraph. In conclusion, bearing in ming that lot of you will have had some experience working with pop up menus, I would appreciate any sound suggestion about the best or the most standard approach to let me start working on a custom pop up menu. If you there might be other more interesting and useful way of doing these pop up menus that is not css or javascript, please tell me as well. I look forward your replies. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your sound suggestions. I used them to make the measurement units consistent. Moreover, I tried by removing the clear:lef attribute you told me above. Nonetheless, it did not change the undesired behavior of ie6 and I am still looking for a solution. As for the VMWare, it is the first time I hear about it. Does it have something to do with the java virtual machine?

You can check this problem in the pink square with curvy corners that I have in www.metatradersoftware.com. If you check the site with firefox, opera or safari everything will be alright, though. Do you have any idea why internet explorer 6 above all and 7 make this mess? For the time being, I still do not have any concrete idea about the reasons of this different behavior in these browsers from Microsoft. I would appreciate any suggestion. Thanks in advance

Hello ElenMan I guess that when you say: "You're using li:hover to create the changing background." you mean that there are other techniques to do the same, which does not surprise me. Nevertheless, I do not know any other way to do this for the time being. Please correct me if I am wrong because I am new to CSS: with the following code li:hover a { background:url(images/right_over.gif) no-repeat right top; } we would be telling: "each time the mouse over the right side of the button, then put the corresponding background for the right side of the button on the right side of the button." However, my problem with firefox is that when the mouse goes over the left side, it does not change the color of the right side of the button. Anyways, I added your code like this in my css style sheet to give a try to your solution: li:hover a { background:url(images/right_over.gif) no-repeat right top; } and it still did not work. Thanks anyways for your try. I will continue looking for some solution altough no idea for the moment.

hello there I removed the lateral gradient and it is ok working almost ok now. My current problem is that in firefox the hover property of the left part of the button does not activate the the hover property of the right side of the button. That is to say, that when I put the mouse over the left part of the button, only this left part gets the hover color. question1: Does anybody know how to get that the right side of the button gets the hover color when I put the mouse on the left part of the button according to the sliding doors technique? On the other hand, in explorer 6.0 , the hover property of the left side of the button does not seem to work even for the left part of the button. Moreover, when I put the mouse on the right side of the button, in contrast to firefox, this does not activate the hover of the left part of the button. question 2: Does anyone know how to solve these last issues? I hope it is not forbidden to put websites names here. Please bear in mind this is not for comercial purposes but for asking a question. Please look at this site www.metatradersoftware.com which contains the pane with the sliding technique where you will be able to check the why of my two questions. I wish that gives you some insight to my doubts. Thanks in advance.
