Anchoring Tips
When purchasing a new anchor, make sure you get the corect type for the bottom conditions where you go boating. Most stores can help you decide on the type, but do not go cheap. Buy atleast 1 good heavy anchor for each bottom which you expect to have to anchor on.

Aha - thanks BeeDev - let me finagle and see what happens -
thank you

Thanks guys..
Ben I am going to email you (from Brian Jones) - thank you
Wickham:
I will continue to play around with it. I have tried changing the footer from an ID to a class (which I should do anyways)and a width of 100% and added widths to the elements inside. I still get the Float Drop and even the Expand quirk (fixed).
I am going to try and set the pages container to relative and absolute position the image. The image is of a sticky note with a fish line and hook going through it. With the way the fishing line is (this is what will be outside the page container) - when I saved it for web & devices in PS - I had to make the image around 300 px or so. My container is 800px wide - and my other elements to the left of the image total about 620px. So I am about 120 px too wide.
While I have studied for the last year on CSS, XHTML, usability an aesthetics etc.. I am now just finally putting it to use and unfortunately am hitting the first bumps in the rd...
Thank you for your assistance as is truly appreciated

I have started my 1st project and am experiencing a couple of issues and am hoping someone can assist me.
1) I am having a Drop Float issue somewhere in my footer. I have the footer set to overflow: hidden and there are no fixed widths on my floated elements inside of the footer.
2) Also - I would like to implement an image but part of the image will need to exceed the container. I tried using negative margin as well as z-index and it did not seem to help.
I have scratched my head and looked cross eyed - and am still un successful. I do not have a url for the site yet and am unable to post the mockup or the site on the forum. Could I email anyone the PSD Mockup and code to the page to see if you may be able to assist me.
Thank you in advance

I am attempting to fade 3 images and when I test in IE, FF, Opera, Safari - the images are not fading. Any idea what I am overlooking or missing?
The CSS
#slideShow .fadeIn {
position: relative;
width: 790px;
height: 280px;
}
#slideShow .fadeIn img {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
jQuery
$(function(){
$('.fadein img:gt(0)').hide();
setInterval(function(){
$('.fadein :first-child').fadeOut()
.next('img').fadeIn()
.end().appendTo('.fadein');},
3000);
});

I'd seriously consider your options before taking the plunge -- $57,000 is a lot of money, and you're talking about 3+ years of your life. I have no personal experience with Full Sail specifically, but what I'm finding at the moment with my college experience is that it makes sense to go to school for design related stuff (graphic design specifically) -- to learn that requires a lot of practice and it's helpful to have a community of other beginning designers and professors as a resource. Going to school for coding/computer science seems to make less sense, since I'm finding a lot of this stuff I can learn faster and more efficiently on my own, especially if I'm actively interested in the subject. The web industry changes so fast, it seems like the best places to learn this stuff is online by reading blogs, doing tutorials, etc. A lot of the web design related classes that I've taken -- at least in my case -- have offered old/out of date information and in some cases teaches bad practices.
Personally, I'd hold off of the Full Sail option and look at alternatives like perhaps attending a community college class or two, plus a subscription to something like the KS University, Lynda.com or TutsPlus (http://tutsplus.com/plus-program/net-plus/).
I will also mention that freelancing doesn't necessarily require any schooling at all -- you just have to be comfortable with your skill level and know how to sell yourself to bring in clients. I started freelancing several years ago (though it isn't my primary source of income) without any actual schooling (though I am going to school at the moment), and I'm not having any issues finding clients. I also don't think there is a "right" way to learn, nor necessarily a specific speed you should be learning things -- that will depend on the person and how they learn.
Thanks Ben. $57k is a lot and if no full financial aid available - it is a scary # ($54k for tuition and $2900 for a new Mac and Adobe Masters Collection - I have Web Premium). I am thinking about joining KS university as this is the site that I have followed during my studies from day1. I have studied on lynda.com as well. The podcasts held by Stefan are excellent and the feed back from the KS community is wonderful (I would like to thank everyone especially Stefan, yourself, Virtual, Eric, Wickham, Newseed, & LM for your support here)
I find myself daily on Smashing Magazine, Tripwire magazine, Web Design Ledger, Wed Designer Depot, Vandelay Design/blog and designm.ag following and studying all the latest trends. Being a year in my studies I would think I would be further along than where I am - (I am just now working on my 1st project) . I am going to look into community college like you mentioned for design / graphics. I am a fan of David Airey and Jason Santa Maria and follow them and their blogs - and would like to do so with you as well if ok. (I think what I am also missing is a little guidance). With Freelancing - I have a ton of articles I have to review when I get to the them regarding Freelancing. I also just purchased the book "A Project Guide To UX Design). I look forward to this field and challenge. I think the one benefit I have is working in the corporate field of Hospitality (Hotels) most of my life. So I have learned some business aspects as well as on how to handle customers / clients. Thanks again for your input - always greatly appreciated!

If you have your own site you can put the site on there in a separate folder, or else you could put a test folder on the clients site, if you have access. Then you just need to give us the exact address.
Oiy - in time Virtual..lol
thank you again

Can you provide a link to this page? It is much easier to troubleshoot.
In any case, css is case sensitive, so you need to be careful how you name your div in the html. The css is looking for #promo and will ignore #Promo, so the browser will revert back to default. Once you change the html to #promo you may have to position it in some way, but as I cannot see the images I have no idea where it is supposed to be.
The url is not set yet as this is my 1st project and I just began coding it yesterday (is there a way I can send a copy of it without providing the url?)
I got the promo to stay put (do not know what I was doing - went to show my fiance what was going on - and everything wa sok - now just having an issue with placing the click here link onto the sticky note....

Maybe Newseed can answer this, he's in Florida. But hey it's a big state and an even bigger country...!
Learning at any stage in life is always beneficial, it totally depends on what you want to do with your life. If you want to get a steady job, then a college degree is almost essential nowadays. However, if you are more of an entrepreneur, then self taught is fine, and keep on learning.
$57,000 is a lot of money to invest if you don't know what your goals and job offerings that will result from the degree will be. Do a little more research into what sort of jobs you can get with this degree, or do the reverse and choose the job you would like to have and see what most of the educational requirements are.
You could also see a career advisor at a community college.
Thanks Virtual. My goal is to begin Freelancing. Reasoning for thinking school is to have someone to lean on for direction. Not only that but to assist in learning mobile, javascript and Content Management. Being self taught - I do not know where I should be right now in regards to my studies. Am I not learning enough - quick enough? Lot of questions I am still contemplating. Thanks as always for your input -
Brian

Has anyone gone to this school or know of experiences? Why I am self taught and have been for the last year. I feel like I may be missing something - or afraid I may overlook something. Along with direction and peers to fall on - I think some schooling will be beneficial. With Full Sail - you earn your Bachelors of Science degree in 27 months. This school inspires me - and I am looking for any personal feedback that may be out there (besides reviews). I am hoping I can get full financial aid - as taking on a $57,000 debt is another thing to consider. If you have experienced or know of experiences with this school - I would love to hear your take..

Good Afternoon everyone,
Baffled again and not sure what is happening - as always I come to my support at KS. I am trying to bring the "click here to find out how" link on the sticky note for the promotions. I am not able to get it onto the sticky note and I do not know what is happening. Also if you notice the CSS for promo is lower case. The
is Uppercase. However when I change theto lowercase (and vice versa) - the element shifts? I have looked up and down and can not figure it out for the life of me. Any suggestions?Thank you in Advance

A couple great sites are:
www.nettuts.com has some great video tuts or
one of my favorite sites for design/development - www.tripwiremagazine.com. Has a nice roundup of tuts...
-
Never mind - I was in Gray scale.....
-
I am using the gradient tool - no matter what hex I put in for the foreground - the color defaults to gray? What did I do this time?
thanks
Brian

Javascript If Else statement?
-
Thanks guys,
I located it - it was in my D: file (?). However the tut was used with CS3 - I am using CS4 and do not see the Puzzle texture available. I will try what LM mentioned to see if I can download it - thanks again
-
Thanks - will play with it. I moved it (Web Premium download) from the location I downloaded it to - to my desktop. I do no tknow if this has anything to do with it... thanks again
-
I found a tutorial with using the Puzzle texture, and want to play with it. I am attempting to load the puzzle texture, when I go to my C drive to Program Files - it just my HP folder in there (nothing for Photoshop). Does anyone know where my Program files may have gone for Photoshop? I moved my Web Premium folder to my desktop. Thank you in Advance
-
As always - thanks Ben - that seemed to be it....
Brian
-
I figured it out - I'm a D.A and was forwarding them to my brushes folder in my documents - all is well and good...
-
Try this:
body {
margin: 0;
text-align: center;
}
#wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
}
As Ben stated - try and provide your code with these requests....
-
I was playing around making a wallpaper, now when I select the Eraser tool (E) it brings up a brush? I do not recall changing anything. Has this happened to anyone else and how can I fix this issue? Baffled novice Designer
thanks
