Best up to date Web programming books?
@karlpcrowley I couldn't agree more with avoiding w3schools. A lot of their javascript examples are not cross-browser compatible. Here is a good one. http://designingfortheweb.co.uk/

Very strange issue with positioning and floats
IE. The bane of my existence. Your measurements seem fine. Are you clearing the floats using the clearfix hack after the block. Also, could you send me a link or snippet. I'd be glad to take a look at it.

How to begin teaching web design?
One assignment I had my students do was mock up a Newspaper page because it teaches them the different sections of a page. Later, you can revisit that page with them and teach them how to style it with css or lay it out with a grid system (www.960.g…

The HTML code killed my comment didn't it? Sorry about that.

Jquery Mobile. Is it just me?
Thanks. I missed that on the compatibility page. Hopefully they will do a clean up. I still do not agree with the architecture on reading custom data-attributes and adding a class name. Most of this stuff can be handled without that process. It does…

Corporate site redesign
Nice site. You might want to add that the hml5 shiv so it works on older browsers. I didn't see it in the head section.

Bit of a help for a newcomer
As for the color changing effect. If the images are transparent you can do this. div.myimagediv:hover img { background: #880000 } The background texture will be visible on the non-hover effect because it matchs the page background. However, i…

Bit of a help for a newcomer
Here: $(".myimageclass").fadeTo(250, .8).hover(function () { $(this).fadeTo(250, 1); }, function () { $(this).fadeTo(250, .8); }); I know these are both sacrifices to the design which sucks but there is alot of images.

Bit of a help for a newcomer
If you make the background of the images transparent you can change the background of a surrounding div. The only problem is you wont get the background texture when you do this. Another option is to fade the opacity using jquery. Let me get you so…

Bit of a help for a newcomer
Instead of preloading the "hover effect" image I would decorate it using a script.

Menu semantics question
Weird. Here is the question: Can a menu contain a header or footer if I am working with multiple menus in a section. I do not want to put it on the encompassing section because they belong to the menu but want to make sure its good semantics. (f…

Here is for mobile. There is also a way to check for the screen orientation to adjust the page for iPads in horizontal view. @media screen and (max-device-width: 480px) { h3 { font-size: 1.2em; }

adjusting text size as screen gets smaller or larger
Have you looked into media queries. That should do the trick for you. Its a CSS approach to adjust elements based on your screen resolution. The alternative is a jquery snippet. http://www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design/

Mobile Device Trick
I also do not want to write the following because I do not intent to hide all images @media screen and (max-width: 480px) { img { display: none; } } Using a class name to hide certain elements is much better then having to define all of them…

Mobile Device Trick
No. There are some larger images that I would like hidden. They either need a class name or an ID. I understand your way of defining what sections should be hidden using a media query. However, I am not going to write IDs for "certain" ima…

I understand what you mean now. For me I am going to use those two class names. I have too many pages and too many elements in the content area I would like to hide (but not the entire content area) and I don't feel like giving them IDs and lis…

Mobile Device Trick
I'm not suggesting you do this for every element. Only elements that are not as important that take up alot of screen real-estate.
