Yep. I was just hoping that Photoshop had a magic trick to make it work. lol

I just found the warp tool. But it's not a good solution because the image becomes too distorted. I guess it's just not possible. Hmmmm

I was wondering if there was a way to reshape a photo from a "squarish" shape to a long rectangle shape. It seems like there should be a way to add the little drag boxes to the edges of the photo and then drag corners to reshape the photo. Am I making sense? I have some photos that are square and I need them to be long (for a website header).

Take a look at their source code and you can see what they are using. You can also google "jquery accordion" and find some neat options, too.

Thanks, Eddie. And I am considering not publishing any prices at all instead of my original thought of "Starting from..." It does seem like when the prices are not published, I get a lot more inquiries than when they are. It may be only your opinion, but it makes sense. Thanks for your input!

What is your opinion about putting prices as "Starting from..." For example, Ecommerce websites start from $xxx ? Good point. Though I haven't really raised rates on current clients yet (as in, ever). I have just kept them where they are and then charged new clients the new rates.

BeeDev, thanks for the info. I will take a look!

I'm actually in the process of doing just that while I'm redeveloping/restructuring my website.

Okay, I think I got it. Thanks for giving it a try, Eric. I tried your suggestions, but they did not work. Then I decided to put a negative margin on the bottom of the container. I hate doing that unless absolutely necessary, but hey, it works. Let me know if you see otherwise? Thanks!

Today I've had an existing client and a potential client try to back me into the corner about when I can get to their websites. I have politely let them know when I'm available and it seems they won't take no for an answer. One even let me know that he will forward the changes to me this weekend so I can get them done sooner rather than later. Fellow freelancers, how many clients do you have and are you accepting new ones? Is there a point where we should draw the line and say, "I'll only have X number of clients."? Personally, I don't think I want to limit the number of clients I serve because individually they do not give me enough work to keep me busy all week, all month. Know what I mean? How do you guys handle new websites vs. website maintenance? Do you double up? For example, you might have a 2 week period devoted to developing a new website for a new client, and the next 8 weeks are filled with more of the same. But then an existing client needs some maintenance work done. How do you do it?

I've been looking at this since yesterday and I'm sure the error is a silly one, but I cannot locate it. Could I have a couple extra sets of eyes take a look and see if something jumps out at you? http://tinyurl.com/oh9a3l When you view in IE 6 and IE 7, the sidebar shows a small gap under each of those sidebar widgets. The pattern bg that shows at the bottom of the sidebar is what's showing in between the widgets. There should be no gap as seen in Fx, Opera, Safari, etc. Basically, the background that you see showing at the bottom of the sidebar is covering the whole content area + sidebar. Then I put the white background on top for the content. In the sidebar (this is a Wordpress site), I have the sidebar widgets showing content. Each of the widgets has a white background with a 10px bottom border. I did it this way so that the sidebar is expandable and so that the 2 columns match in height. So, think of those widget areas as a separate div. You have the about div, pages div, contact div, and so on. I have determined that the gap which is letting some of that background show through is happening at the bottom of each of these divs instead of the top. But I have no idea why it's happening. Hope this makes sense. If not, let me know and I'll try to explain it more clearly. BTW, the CSS for this section is: #blog-sidebar ul li.widget { width:273px; background:#fff; margin:0; padding:0 0 2em 0; border-bottom:10px solid #e2e3e4; } Any thoughts? TIA!

Thanks, Eric....that doesn't work either. BeeDev, I may do just that. I've never had very good luck with the PNG fixes, but I can always try.

Okay, so it's not going to work. At all. http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_thread/thread/793beed03a12db04

Well, I figured out the problem. I found it when I wiped out my code and tried to rebuild. Everything was working fine until I added this bit for a neat transparent effect: opacity:.92; /* FX/Opera/Safari/Chrome */ -ms-filter:"alpha(opacity=92)"; /* IE8 */ filter:alpha(opacity=92); /* IE6/IE7 */ THIS is what was making the 3rd level links not work. I am really sad about that because the transparent effect is neat. Do you guys know of a way to make it work? I'm going to have to do some more googling.... Man, I spent most of yesterday and then this whole evening on this!

Thanks, John. This might work even if there's no way to get it to show text.

Thanks so much, John. Unfortunately, it didn't work. I'll keep playing with it....

I am really hoping someone who is good with javascript/jquery can help me out of this bind. :| I just discovered that Internet Explorer is not showing the 3rd level of the menu. http://tinyurl.com/cr2wmr (very much a work in progress) I believe it's a js issue and not a css one. I've removed all js/jquery except the menu stuff and the problem still exists. I'm not sure what to do now. I know it should work because the examples on the superfish site do. Ideas? Edit to add: I just pulled up my test page that I made before integrating the CMS and they don't work there either!! How did I not see this?! Anyway, maybe there will be some clue here because it's the only js/jquery involved. http://tinyurl.com/r5bm7s

(Ben, I hope you're reading this today!! ) Does anyone know if it's possible to substitute text for the numbers in the nav on the Pager version of the cycle plugin? Jquery Cycle Plugin - http://malsup.com/jquery/cycle/int2.html - Scroll down to the 2nd set up examples. What I want to do is put the name of the image instead of having just a generic number. Possible? If so, how? TIA!

Does anyone here have experience with the Cataloger module for CMS MS? If so, I have a question!! Can you help me figure out how to add a lightbox-type feature to my cataloger item images? I have searched the forums over there, but I don't understand what I'm reading. Here's an example page where I need to use the feature: http://tinyurl.com/r7hzap And here's the template code for the item pages: {section name=ind loop=$image_url_array} {/section} What I want is for people to be able to click on the large image and see the full size image in a lightbox type display. Ideas? TIA!

Hmm...let me take a look at the files on the server again and see what I can find.... Thanks!

Okay, that's cool. Thanks for checking!

Hmm... I wonder - is there a free flash editor that's good? I've googled it but I don't know what's what. I don't trust no namers. lol

I knew I would need a flash editor, but the thing is, I've been through all the files on the server and I don't see a single .fla file. So, I wasn't sure if something else could generate the menu or not. Jlhaslip, I would love to hear from your friend if he has time and can help. Thanks!

Does anyone here work with flash? I have a new maintenance client who needs me to add items to their menu, but it's all in flash and I don't see how to edit it. I need to add some links. Also complicating matters for me is the fact that the pages are all in .asp . So, how do I edit a menu (it's clearly a template from one of the template mills) that's powered by flash?

And another tip is if you use the overflow:auto; method, you may need to add display:inline; to the floats so that IE 6 will behave.
