[jQuery Coda slider with images]

Thanks Ben, I will take a look at it later. I may just abandon that option if it's too complicated for me.

[jQuery Coda slider with images]

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.

[jQuery Coda slider with images]

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.

[jQuery Coda slider with images]

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.

[How to make a "full-browser" website?]

If I have my background "gradient.jpeg" in a folder, "images" (in my root folder), then is this the correct css?

 

background-image: url('images/gradient.jpeg');

 

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.

[jQuery Coda slider with images]

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.

[How to slow down the fade in/out with jQuery tabs?]

Eric said

In return, I can turn you on to this 4 sided/1 image plug-in-play shadow I just perfected. http://www.visibilityinherit.com/projects/ams/index.php Simply add the css, the divs to your existing markup, and duplicate your wrapper width on the .shadow, and your done. One size fits all, fully transparent, no more image editing with each change.

 

Cool tool, I'll try it out

[Need a simple adjustment for slider]

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.

[Link Targeting?]

Please post a link to your pages or at least provide HTML and CSS code.

[Header ID format question.]

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.

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

[A Menu Challenge]

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

[A Menu Challenge]

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

[A few questions regarding the use of flash in Dreamweaver]

Whichever platform you choose you need to learn how to code - HTML and CSS for DW or ActionScript 3 for Flash.

[A Menu Challenge]

Your menu and css are at the following link:

http://180virtual.com/newseed_menu/index.html

 

I have tested on Mac in Firefox 3.5, Safari and Opera and the border is no longer there from the top link hover nor from the right hand flyout "Conservation Partners". Even the Regions top link no longer has the border on hover.

However I did not bother with the left side flyouts, in case you still tell me the whole does not work.
