  1. I can't see what you mean in either IE7 or 8.
  2. If your right column is always going to be longer than #content, I would put the border on that and make it a little wider. Otherwise you could add some padding-bottom to #content which will push the border down, but also give you a gap if the right column gets longer than it presently is.
  3. If I understand correctly, you still need the rounded bit at the top so do what I said previously add it to the header div where your navigation will go. Then a small section of the middle to repeat-y on the content. The footer does not need a background image as presumably it will show on the black section after your big background image. The large background image is part of the wrapper with a black background, so if the content in the "news" section is long it will be surrounded just by black.
  4. Glad you got it sorted.. Here too, 23 degrees...nice
  5. There are no vertical scrollbars in any of the IE browsers and in IE6 only the header and navigation show up. Remove overflow: visible; from *
  6. @Andrea If you resize your browser smaller in FF the scrollbar appears.
  7. Forgot the link to your site
  8. Try this http://www.rssinclude.com/ or this http://www.rssdog.com/
  9. Try looking at this http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/help/3223484.stm
  10. Sorry to butt in, but which version of FF shows up the errors in red in View Source????
  11. Dreamweaver is a great tool, but never use Design View, or if you do, just to visually highlight the part you need to work on in the code. Even in CS3 it sucks. In any case you should always test your work in different browsers i.e. Firefox, Chrome, Safari and the different versions of IE, where if you think Dreamweaver has flaws you will be in for a surprise. It's also good to test cross platform or ask someone on Mac to do it for you.
  12. On a set up like this I would make the top rounded area of the news section (just past the curve as small as possible) as part of the header, then a small section of the middle to repeat-y on the content, and put the bottom rounded area as part of the footer, same as header just the smallest part of the curve. The rounded areas of the top and bottom will serve as padding for the content, so News would actually be at the very top limit of the content area. I hope you get what I mean... :/
  13. I use Godaddy, deluxe $5.94 a month on 2 year contract, 150GB space 1500 GB Transfer, 500 email accounts and 25 MySql databases and I have never had a problem.
  14. I took a look again, but I could not see the "images/5star.gif"?
  15. Personally I don't like the orange headers or the blue links, the colours are not harmonious. I also think it is better in a portfolio to show your best pieces, not everything you have done from the beginning. And boy, do I hate having to scroll.... :/
  16. Ben's correct, there are 2 options either copy and paste in the meta tag or upload a specific html page to verify your site with Google. This is done through Google's Webmaster Tools or Google Sites.
  17. Overall and for a first attempt good work. Just a few remarks Yes you do really need to work on those images... Our Hours: Monday thru Friday: 8:00 - 5:00 Saturday & Sunday: 8:00 - 7:00 That is a big no no.... In the footer, I find the text too small, especially the address text is too light and too close together. The image on the right of the footer is also a little fuzzy.
  18. Your link is not working yet, your website is being reviewed for the moment. My suggestion, although probably not what you are looking for, is to forget tables and learn css if you are going to be doing websites on a regular basis.
  19. That sucks big time, so what are they proposing to use in the place of Flash. All my virtual tours are flv's, it is the best solution for cross platform, browser and the compression and file size are the best. I am a big Mac fan and user, and I find this attitude extremely disappointing.
  20. I think you are missing a concept here, you can resize the image's width OR height. If you try to resize both the width and the height to the exact dimensions you want you will distort either one or the other. Usually an image has to fit widthwise into a div, so that is the size you need to change and the height will resize proportionally if you do the folowing. Resize the image from Image - Image Size, then change the width and be sure to check Scale Styles, Constrain Proportions and set Resample Image to Bicubic if you have a gradient in your image, or Bicubic Sharper if you are reducing size. From the little I read about Content Aware Scaling, you don't really need this at this point for your web images, I think you are just complicating your life unnecessarily.
  21. As you so aptly said that is not the way to do navigation. You have put your navigation images whose height is 53px within div layer 2 to which you have given a height of 18px. So it cuts it off in some browsers and not others which accomodate your error. It is not to do with the computer screen but the version of the browser that particular computer is running. Your navigation is cut off in IE7 but not IE8 or Firefox. Don't give up, you've gotten this far and we are here to help out...
  22. Very possibly if your structure is too complicated. I don't have CS4, in CS3 I resize the image to the size it has to be on the page then to compress file size I use File - Save for Web and select the settings to get the best possible quality with the least file size. I don't know if this function still exists in CS4?
  23. Hey guys, you should make Andrea's post a sticky for all new web designers to read. It's great advice.
  24. I was going to add don't forget the importance of backlinks, but BeeDev already mentioned it. Google also often changes its ranking parameters just to confuse the issue.
  25. Well, I must have had 3 bad ones because I never got it, and the last teacher actually told me my brain didn't work that way!!!
