  1. Is there an "Icon Maker" software that you people have used and prefer? I would like to customize some of my folder icons in some of the MS windows so that some of them are easier to spot in a long list.

     

    Thanks! Alfie

    icon-maker.com is also good.

  2. This is not a right or wrong thread, just two way of doing things and the reason for that.

     

    So hacks are bad - most of us agree. A hack is a code style that takes advantage of bugs and mistakes in browsers. If the browser is fixed, the hack does not work and the site is likely broken.

     

    Discussing this in another forum a comment was made that rings true and should be mentioned here. So a few points to consider:

     

    Hack

     

    Con - Requires a mistake or bug in a browser to work, it that is fixed the hack fails.

     

     

    Con - Makes the CSS not valid

     

     

    Pro - A hack is placed alone in the CSS, when the CSS is external this means you need but remove it from the style sheet to be rid of it.

     

     

     

     

    Condition Comments

     

     

    Con - They have to be placed in your markup, every single page...

     

     

    Con - They muck up pure structured code & invalidate your code

     

     

    Con - You are playing to the whims of the most popular browser yes, but you are writing incorrect code due to one single user agent out of the dozens that you may have visit

    your site, logical to cater to one single broken user agent?

     

     

    Pro - You are creating styles for IE in a form that only IE will read leaving your CSS pure for standards based browsers.

     

     

    Conclusion

    The choice is yours, would you rather have pure structure or pure CSS?

     

    Would you rather write a hack in a single document or would you rather write a comment/s in every page of your site? Course with the smart use of Templates or includes you can limit this.

     

    So this is not a do or do not, simply consider this and what comments will follow and make an informed decision whether to use Hacks or Comments. IE7 has improved but there are still some problems with IE7 and Opera 9 and a whole new series of Hacks will be needed. IE7 has blocked the * html hack which was often used to correct Layout problems in IE, however those layout problems have not been corrected, they still exist bit the hack does not.

    Thank you. Its helpful to me.

  3. No, that's not a slideshow - if you want a slideshow, look for "jquery slideshow".
