  1. anyone using DW CS4 yet?

    in Open Forum

    Posted

    The whole suite is absolutely fabulous. I'm really impressed with Illustrator and Photoshop.

    Have you ever used adobe's color pallet site? kuler.adobe on it's own is kinda...meh. Flash based so it's kinda bulky and getting the swatch pallets a pain. CS4 has a light weight built in that just rocks!

     

    Type keywords into the search box and it works just like the site does, it retrieves custom color pallets within your parameters. Now a click over the folder adds that pallet to your swatches. Awesome.

  3. Help with CSS

    in CSS

    Posted · Edited by JBall

    CSS is case sensitive.

     

    You are calling for a change in the CSS for the element "A" where as the HTML is most likely a lower case "a".

    (as in: Link text)

     

    It's a good habit to write ALL of your code in lower case lettering. =)

  7. RSS Forum Feed And Killersites

    Hiya, gang!

     

    A couple of days ago I pressed the little RSS feed button. To my dismay outlook will not recognize this link:

     

     

    http://www.killersites.com/forums/feed/atom/topic/128/?login=1

     

    Not that I really wanted it too, I was just curious. Well, now every time I log on here at the forums, Outlook opens and tells me that the above is an invalid link.

     

    Is there a way to make this stop?

     

     

    Oh, and we need a "hmm" smilie!

    P.S. Great memory JBall!

     

    Oh, thanks!

     

    I can honestly say that handy tid bit has saved me hours of homework. :D

     

     

    Last week was finals at school. Our final project for Web Scripting was to design a web site.

     

    Please don't poke too much fun... :rolleyes:

     

    I only had a week and homework from another class ( Posted on my blog if you want to see it)

     

    And before you ask, everything that is silly was a required element. Like the splash page. Yeah, I know... a splash page. I am filled with shame. But, the code is good and by adapting shelf's template I cruised right through the code.

     

    Got an A to boot. :D

    What browser are you using, and why?

     

    ... Given that there are plenty of browsers that redirect.

     

    Stefan

     

     

    Perhaps I worded that wrong.

     

    I use FX3, 'cause it's kewl. :D (I'm a PC guy so, I haven't had your woes with FX and Mac. Although we use them at school with no problems)

     

    I have an add-on that prevents redirects. Handy little widget in my opinion. Not so handy for this situation. But, its a small price to pay to keep from being assaulted with ring tone giveaways and flash game viruses.

    Would it be possible to lose the redirect screen after posting? It would be so much nicer if the page just reloaded without the delay.

     

    Hmmm, I looked at that, but the people who wrote this forum seem to recommend against it.

     

    That said, the old forum made us wait 3 seconds, so this is much faster.

     

    Stefan

     

     

    Yeah it is faster, i guess. But, my browser doesn't redirect. So it's another mouse click. Not too labor intensive, just inconvenient. :)

    Good Add JBall. Maybe I'll do a new thread or check if we have one to add it to with tidbits like my post and yours. I think this confuses many who are learning or even adapting.

     

    S

     

     

    Earlier this year someone had posted an organized css layout template of sorts....

     

    I wish I could remember who that was so I could give kudos. I want to say it was Shelfimage. But, I could be wrong on that. Nonetheless, I still have the original code he/she posted.

     

    And here it is:

  15. IE Conditional Comments not working?

    in CSS

    Posted

    Wonderful post, SLS. Chapter and verse of what I was trying to say!

     

    I will add too that using comments in your CSS can help keep things organized as well.

     

    For example:

     

    
/*[start] link section for home page*/

a:link
 {    text-decoration:none;
   color: #999999;
 }

 a:visited
 {    text-decoration:none;
   color: #383636;
 }

 a:hover,
 a:focus
 {    text-decoration:underline;
   color: #666666;
 }

 a:active
 {text-decoration:underline;
   color: #000000;
 }

/*[end] link section for home page*/

  16. IE Conditional Comments not working?

    in CSS

    Posted

    Hi, thanks for the response! I guess I'm confused. The page needs all three of these style sheets to render correctly in non-IE browsers. (These sheets are reused in various combinations throughout the site, so I can't just combine them into one.)

     

    Yes you can.

    All of your pages should run off of the same style sheet.

     

    Only use an additional style sheet to make browser corrections like for IE

     

     

    Is that the problem? Should I link the regular style sheet{edit}, then conditionally add one sheet {edit} with just the changes?

     

    Well, it will help if not fix it. Make those changes then come back and let us know what happens. :D

    Hey Stefan,

     

    I found a couple of links on the main site (killersites[dot]com) that sill point to the old forums.

     

    Popular pages

     

    * Ask questions and meet people in the forums

     

     

     

    and

     

    Community

     

    * Web Design Forums

     

    This whole section:

    Some of the forums:

     

    * Beginners to Web Design

    * CSS

    * PHP

    * HTML and Javascript

    * Flash

    * and many more

     

    Check out the web designers forum ?

     

    And now that I dig a little deeper... Just about every page has a reference or an in-text link to the old forum.

  19. need help with- positioning IMG BG in the div

    in CSS

    Posted

    Try this: Put your whole site into a div. I call that a wrapper.

     

    html

     

    


Try Try

     

    css

     

    #wrapper{
   margin:0 auto;
   width:800px;
   height:auto;
}
#main {
   position: absolute;
   width: 550px;
   height: 500px;
   margin-right:400px;
   background-attachment: fixed;
   background-image: url(img/bg1.jpg);
   background-repeat: no-repeat;
   background-position: top left;
}

     

    Also notice that you are missing a colon in the "margin-right" line. Replace the equals sign and wrap your site and you should be golden. Be sure to set the width of your site in the wrapper. I have 800px in there your site may be different.

  22. Thank you, Stef!

    I've been a member on the old forum since Feb 08 and still haven't broke a hundred! :P
    You don't look familiar - what was your name on the other side?

    I had the "Flash playing billiards" avatar.

     

    I haven't posted in months... I enrolled at The Art Institute of Indianapolis for interactive web design. Between school and work there's barely enough time for family, let alone posting! :P

  23. Suggestions and Questions

    in Open Forum

    Posted

    There are several threads going now with different questions and suggestions. I thought maybe one central thread may be easier to find.

     

    That being said...

     

    Would it be possible to lose the redirect screen after posting? It would be so much nicer if the page just reloaded without the delay.

     

    Thanks,

    JBall
