Anybody know of a "Inline CSS - To - External CSS Converter"??? In other words, move inline css to the head section/or external. I believe I already tried html tidy. Thanks!

Thanks John , I'll take a look at all those...

I don't think IE6 is all that bad. Grant it, I haven't designed the amount of websites anywhere close to what you guys have, but I have made a lot of demos and such. I can say one thing, at least whenever (usually at least) IE6 is throwing me some trouble, I know exactly what the error/bug is. It's been diagnosed to such a degree, that every bug has the equivalent of a book in it's name. That's more than I can say for like Chrome, and Opera on a few occasions.

You could try this. http://www.visibilityinherit.com/code/current-page-withjs.php

Nice link John! He's got a lot of cool stuff in there - just linked to him... jasat_mafioso, are you looking for a style-sheet-switcher? If so, then Mike?s Experiments has a PHP one (if you can figure out how to use it...), or I have a JS one.

So I'm thinking a Basecamp type setup is the way to go. Have any of you used any of these alternate (some free) versions of Basecamp? http://www.whybasecampsux.org/#alternatives and another free http://www.projectpier.org/

Globally, it's still at 28%. That was 2months ago though, so probably down to 26% now. http://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php

How did that admin panel turn out? If it's something that you could share, and something my client could utilize, I'd by very interested! I have yet to get the specific details, but she works as a realestate broker. So she probably wants to be able to share (back and forth) files, paperwork, get signatures, etc, with each client as she brokers each deal. If that's the case, then something like BaseCamp is probably her best bet right? Are there anyother BaseCamp type systems I should look into as well? Thanks for your input!

I've run across a JS solution in the past. But like you said, I don't think it's worth it. I believe FX3 must have changed how it handles a:active{outline:0;} because that did work in the past. I just did a quick Google, and see that many other sites are now advertising the wrong info. Just do this and then you have no dotted outline but still have some sort of change for keyboard users. That makes all happy. And no, you don't have to use a:link. Just using "a" is better anyways. And if you don't want a change for a:visited, then you don't have to specify it. a { outline:0; } a:active, a:focus, a:hover { color:#000; }

It looks real nice Ben! I wouldn't change a thing. I like the use of shadows to create different depths. Something I think I need to work on...

Eric, has does the forum render on the phone? And btw, what phone are you using? Stefan It looks and works good! I'm using a Palm.

Here is some JS validation... http://www.visibilityinherit.com/code/js-form-validation.php

Are you saying, you have not used any of your own PHP code, nore do you want to enter any PHP form validation into the exsisting forms that you are using. If so, then from the sounds of it you can use some JS validation to make sure the form is filled out correctly before being sent off. JS can be turned off...

Good Luck...

I'm still on vacation (still on phone) so I'll take a look later. But how did you do the custom 404 page - with htaccess or other? I've seen a article on a List Apart recently on it, but I never have the patients to follow along with those articles - get to the point already!

I'm sticking with CS3. At this point, the only real feature that I use regularly is the link updater funtion that it does. You know, when you move files it automatically updates all the links. I've come to rely pretty heavely on that. Other than that, I really don't use any of it's features. For the most part, I'm to scarred to ever hand over any real controll to it.

I agree. IE8 ruins half the things I work on. I pay it no mind...

Yes, I believe that's the reasoning behind using a:active{outline:0} rather than on the "a".

Nothing worse than the stomach flu! As you know, my wife and I have a daycare. So I've taken NOT getting sick to sort of an art form. I don't like getting sick! I'm around diseases 24-7, therefore, my immune system is second-to-none, so this may not work as well for you as it does for me but... I've beat the last nine stomach flu's in a row, spanning over the last two years! Meaning, my stomach didn't feel the greatest, but, I didn't puke (which is the worst). In order to beat the stomach flu do this: First of all, when your stomach first starts to feel a little strange - stop eating. Starving it out is Key! You've got to get it out of your stomach and into your intestines where it can (relatively painlessly) be eliminated. Then every hour, on the hour, take these pills with a small glass of water. Multidophilis: in short all the different forms of good bacteria that live in your intestines - like the stuff in yogurt. Enzimes (like papaya): Helps digest food (i.e. helps get it out of your stomach). Collostrum: it's the stuff in mothers breast milk that prevents babies from getting sick. When you buy it, It's comes from cows milk. I've found it best to only take this on a as-needs basis. If you take it every day, your immune system just becomes dependent on it, just like anything else. The best part is, everytime you beat it, you're immune system becomes stronger and stronger, and therfore, it becomes easier and easier to beat it. Just like what bacteria are doing. You know, they're getting stronger and stronger, becuse they keep beating different forms of antibiotics. I've got a coctail for the common cold also. I usually beat about 80% of them...

Thanks Guys! Ya, I'll get some more details from her next year. Ben, yes I saw your client login - it's nicely intergrated. But as you said, she needs to be able to get to the info also. Susie, that may be a good (and easier - easy is good) alternative. Something like Basecamp might work well. Either customize it so it looks like the site, or just have a link on the site that takes the client to Basecamp (or similar). I'll post back when I have more details... In the mean time, if someone else thinks of any other way to do this please let me know. Thanks!

Hello, We briefly touched on this a little while ago in the old forum, but now I have some more specific information to go off of. OK, here is what she wants. Here is a quote from her request. "I also wanted to discuss with you an additional piece to the site. What I am looking at adding is a communication portal. I want to be able to notate status and have each of my clients dedicated to a unique login so they can go in and view the information I have updated. Does this make sense?" So, short of a CMS system, in your opinion, what would be the best way to approach this? As she said, she basically needs a different page (that she can update) for each different cllient. Hmmm...???

Happy New Year! Our goal is to stay up this year. Failed the last four attempts.

GrayBit - Accessibility testing tool that displays a full-color Web page in grayscale. Look how good my site does! I always new I was Accessible at heart :lol:

Ya I just say a{outline:0;} and then also specify rules for :focus/:active/:hover. Therefore keyboard users (and me) are still happy.
