  1. Text Mate and BBEdit are good but not free, so if you are going to get Dreamweaver try Text Wrangler which is a free download. Not as fancy as BBEdit but it will do in the interim. Also buy VMware to run Windows, you will need to buy the Windows OS, I would advise XP it's inexpensive and I have heard less buggy than Vista. Welcome to the Mac, I'm sure you'll love it. I use my old PC for testing sometimes but Oh how I hate it and all those weird messages that keep popping up.
  2. Have you read this? http://flowplayer.org/forum/8/25583
  3. Ooh nasty, it looks like IE is ignoring the png. Just an idea, but have you tried using the png fix that is usually for IE6?
  4. Have you seen the new Google app called Wave. They are signing up 100,000 people to test it on invitation only. It looks incredible! http://wave.google.com/help/wave/about.html
  5. Thanks Ben, I will take a look at it later. I may just abandon that option if it's too complicated for me.
  6. Thank you for your input, I'm almost there. Ben, can you tell me how to stop the automatic play on trial2, I'm sure that is in the JS.
  7. Thanks for your input, it is too late at night in Europe for me to work on it now. Ben, I can get the 5 thumnails across the page, no problem, I just can't get the second row underneath. There are no ul li tags in the rendered html source code and it does mention in the css file that the ul is dynamically generated and there are changes to be made in the js file if there are modifications to stripNav. Eric, that's the second option I mentioned, http://tenerifeb usinessinformation.com/sliders/trial2.html is based on this demo http://css-tricks.com/examples/FeaturedContentSlider/ I can get the second row of thumbnails but I can't get them ligned up with the active tag. Anyway I have been looking at it for too long (brain overload) and need to decant the whole thing with a little sleep, and maybe I'll find the solution ( or you will!!) tomorrow.
  8. Thanks Ben, but I want 5 thumbnails across the page and then another 5 underneath. I know how to do that when I can see the code on the html page, but not in this case.
  9. This is correct if your css file is in the root folder, if your css file is in a different folder then the correct way is background-image: url(../images/gradient.jpeg); ID's are only used once on a page, eg for the header, content or footer of which there will only be one. Classes can be used many times, so they are for repeated content.
  10. I am trying to get a coda slida to work with 10 images instead of tabs and am having a lot of difficulty. I am an idiot when it come to developping, having taken 3 courses in PHP and flunking them all, so JS is like trying to understand Chinese to me. I have used 2 modifications of the same and can't get either to work. First I tried this one http://tenerifeb'>http://tenerifeb usinessinformation.com/sliders/trial.html based on the original Coda Slida http://www.ndoherty.biz/demos/coda-slider/1.1.1/ But as the ul tags are generated by the js file, I have no idea how to get them onto 2 lines instead of spreading across the page. This one http://tenerifeb usinessinformation.com/sliders/trial2.html is based on this demo http://css-tricks.com/examples/FeaturedContentSlider/ and while I managed to get the thumb images in place, I cannot get them to line up. Any help on either of both of these would be most welcome and greatly appreciated.
  11. Brilliant Ben, I may need your help later on a slider I am having difficulty with.

    Networking

    We have a huge dish and get lots of European channels including BBC1, 2, ITV and Channel 4, so that's no problem.

    You probably also have an internet provider who has a monopoly like we do here - ghastly Telefonica. They sell routers, but there is no customer service to speak of. I was also told that US routers do not work here, I ended up getting one from England.
  14. Please post a link to your pages or at least provide HTML and CSS code.
  15. The 50% is a positioning element for the background image and the no-repeat means exactly that, do not repeat the image either horizontally or vertically. This article explains in detail http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_background-position.asp color: #222; is the abbreviated HEX code for #222222 which is Charcoal and refers to the colour of the text in the #header div.
  16. If you have your own website, you can put your client's pages in a folder on your site. That way he can view online and navigate to his different pages.
  17. If you did the Flash you might need to publish it with Wmode as explained in the following article http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14201.html
  18. Anti-aliasing is what you need to Google for. You can use the Blur Tool, or You can select the pixels on the layer - Select - Refine Edge - Feather, or You can select the pixels and add a slight Gaussian Blur.
  19. Try this one it's way easier to install and move around http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/csslibrary/item/css-image-gallery/

    A Menu Challenge

    You're welcome, and Wow that is a bonus not having to mess about with IE6

    Yes the About drop down and flyout are fine in all 3 browsers. Let me know if you want me to check the others later on.

    A Menu Challenge

    Have you checked on a MAC? In Safari and Firefox from About the flyout still has a border, in Conservation the flyout is on the left with several pixels of white space and the flyouts from it don't work because of the gap. Regions has double borders on each side. In Opera there some other weird things going on. I guess you must be working on it, it's changing as I refresh.

    P.S. There is a typo on your top menu Converstation in stead of Conservation
