[CMSMS - trouble entering db info for install]

You will need to double check the db name and username. On my server, both are the same.

 

db name: catfish_ccccccc

username: catfish_ccccccc

password: bbbbbbbb

He agreed to pull the site

They may have agreed but your design is still up on their site.

[EU v Microsoft: Bundling Internet Explorer in Windows]

Simple solution would be continue to allow MS to have IE as the default but also install at least 3 other major browser (not a link to install them) in which icons are displayed on the desktop.

 

Think about it. It's their OS. It's not their fault if they know how to market their product. If we don't like it...don't buy it.

 

It's as simple and as difficult as that.

[Hiding Text?]

I've found this on Google but it really doesn't go into specifics about text-indent and if it falls in the lines of hiding text regardless what's it meant for.

[Hiding Text?]

I know that Google will penalize sites using techniques to hide text but is visible for search engines.

 

I'd never heard of doing this before but a client requested this kind of technique where they would use text-indent: -9999px to move it off the screen. This seem old school and not advised to use.

 

Can anyone shed some light on this?

 

Thanks.

[Ripped off sites]

...and another.

 

That one is more detailed and quite informative.

[Ripped off sites]

Another one and also this one.

[Ripped off sites]

What a dip they are. Spam the suckers!

 

Really, not much you can do.

 

Another discussion here.

[Site creation - Any feedback would be much appreciated]

which aspect are you referring to ... the design part .. or the technical part?

Both. Don't let this discourage you. Open yourself up to a new way of thinking of web design and coding. Also, post your questions in the forums to help you build achieve the 'perfect' look you are looking for.

 

Improvements usually comes by trial and error.

[Site creation - Any feedback would be much appreciated]

Defitinally appreciate the feedback .. because even though I have the exprience in the program photoshop and dw .. Ive never built anything from scratch ... so thanks for all the input...

You should start because what you are presenting is not living up to the company name you have chosen.

 

I dont validate till the end... I dont have my email addy put in at final publish.. i have a contact form...

Then why add the email address on there is the first place?

 

Whats wrong with tables? ...

-Faster page loading

-Lowered hosting costs

-Redesigns are more efficient

-Redesigns are less expensive

-Visual consistency maintained throughout website(s)

-Better for SEO

-Accessibility

-Competitive edge (job security)

-Quick website-wide updates

-Easier for teams to maintain (and individuals)

-Increased usability

-More complex layouts and designs

-No spacer gifs

 

And I havent made it into a template yet because I get everything adjusted and 100% to perfection before I put all the extra time in ...but it will all be css formated from creating a template out of my design...

'virtual' is correct. One mockup of the design. Splice only the portion you need and use css to achieve the same visual look. Create only one html layout and css to suit. Once that is done then it becomes super easy and fast to create the remaining pages.

 

And as far as the top links for seo .. it usually only matters if you have them as text in the page .. i didnt think it had to be at the top specifically ...

Correct but using text in the links improves it. Besides, adding/modifying the link is easier and faster. You just use the image (without the text) as a background and put your text over it.

 

You have a long way to go because you are not up to speed in web design. I'm not trying to insult you. I'm just being upfront and direct. I prefer the hard truth rather than soft opinions.

[Unordered Lists and Displaying Inline]

Try this:

Add To The Garden

 

The only thing I did to the above code is remove the

tags. Don't need if you set the to display block because you are defining an for each line you want.

 

 

The CSS:

#navlist {
   list-style: none;
}
#navlist li {
   display: inline;
   float: left;
}
#navlist li a {
   color: green;
   display: block;
   padding: 3px 15px;
       margin: 0;
}
#navlist li a:hover {
   text-decoration: none;
}

 

Two important elements here is that I added float: left to the #navlist li and display: block to #navlist a. Of course I've added a bit of padding/margins to give it a nice look.

I believe there is another version of this somewhere but I can't recall the bookmark or where I saw this.

[Site creation - Any feedback would be much appreciated]

If you are going to use the name Flawless you better live up to it because:

 

-You page does not validate

 

-

BAD CHOICE! What do you have that requires frames?

 

-You used tables

 

-Embedded all your css styles in the

 

-Email address is exposed for email harvesters (spammers)

 

-Important text embedded into images is bad for SEO

 

-Underlining text that are not links (will make people think they are links but they really are not)

 

-The earth background is not transparent enough causing difficulties to read the text

 

-Poor contrast ~ The green inline links is not good for either white or black background and it's not the same font size as the rest of the text

 

-Overuse of images thus you are not using the css background repeat

 

-Top menu links are images ~ Poor for SEO

 

Overall, the design is okay but certainly not flawless looking.

 

It's time to get away from ImageReady splicing your site together and start getting your eyes and hands into the code and code it yourself.

[Hover Content Hiding Behind Iframe]

Don't ask me why and maybe you are right about the javascript but the cell that has the paragraph text somehow wanted to have a width assigned to it.

 

It now works...I just need to move all the inline styles over to the css file.

 

Thanks for looking into it.

[Hover Content Hiding Behind Iframe]

Ok...convinced the client to go with a div overflow.

 

Just got one tweak that I am confused with which that I cannot get the two columns of inputs to line up the same in both FF and IE.

 

h ttp://tgdev-com.ds5053.gr eybea rdhosting.com/store/pc/quickorder_edk.asp

 

I have set the first row of cells to have fixed widths. It seems IE is not playing nice where the Item Code column pushes out further than I like.

 

Suggestions?

 

Thanks.

[How to get more traffic from our home page to our tool page?]

I don't see any good summary of explaining what the tool does before you click to use the tool and of course what the benefits are.

[Hover Content Hiding Behind Iframe]

I think I've convince the client to take it out of iframes and use div overflow.

[4 Day Project - Please Critiuqe]

The site doesn't really sell to me. The design is borish. The concept is good but the whole site is lacking character.

[Border which doesn't affect page width...]

I'd make it a practice to set all my 1024 sites to be 990px.

[Hover Content Hiding Behind Iframe]

Please take a look at this link:

h ttp://tgd ev-com.ds5053.gre ybea rdhosting.com/store/pc/quickorder1.asp (remove spaces)

 

To the left, there is a category list. Click on one of the links and then hover over one of the items below. You can see the tooltip popup (ajax script) but it hides behind the iframe or that it does not appear on top of the entire page.

 

Any suggestions or fix for this?

[A Difference in IE & Firefox]

If you have any of the heading tags (h1, h2, etc.) that has links within them then the color set for the tag will supercede the heading tags color.

 

Wedding

This will show the greyish color which is set by this style:

 

a {

color: #666666;

text-decoration: none;

}

 

If you really want to turn those links that are within the heading tags then you will need to add a new style like this:

 

h2 a, h3 a, h4 a, h5 a {

color: #D50672;

}

 

 

You have another style that is for h2 only that you will find that has it's own color:

 

#content h2 {

margin-bottom: 20px;

font-size: 18px;

letter-spacing: -1px;

color: #808080;

}

[CSS Ordered List]

I will try you method tomorrow Eric.

 

Thanks.

[CSS Ordered List]

I haven't found a solution for this but when you use bulleted list, it's easy to use an image as a background for the list-style and position it to wherever you like but my dilemma is that I want to get the text and the nurmeric value to be closer together.

 

1. Content here I want to close the gap between 1. and Content her.

 

Sure I could create an image for each number but then would be senseless to use orderded list.

[Paul Did a good test/challenge here for those that are interested...]

I really think Eric was just kidding......

Ack! This is the way I behave when I am in a super serious work mode. I have no sense of humor at all!

 

*Eddie humbly bows before Eric The Great and says...*

 

My apologies!

 

...and no...you can't use the machete on me.

[Paul Did a good test/challenge here for those that are interested...]

Eh. Maybe if I had time... Doesn't really seem to be something that I could put into use on an actual site though.

 

I understand' date=' not everyone can get it. No shame in that. he - he...[/quote']

Ben wouldn't get it? From his comment, Ben never implied that he didn't get it. He just didn't have the time which is the same reason I give.

 

However, I did do something like this when I first started using CSS. It was quite challenging. This is good if you have the time and need the enchance your skills.
