  • The problem with body{font-size:62.5%;} and em's!

    Well, 62.5% of 16px is 10px, so you could just use font-size:10px; instead of the 62.5%...

  • Is scaling possible?

    I vaguely recall a post over at a list apart sometime earlier this year that talked about removing or rearranging content blocks based on browser size... but I could be mistaken. EDIT: Yup, it is there, of course it's from 2006 not earlier th…

  • New to CSS. Help with BG image

    Your best bet is to modify the bg image a bit so that either A) it will repeat seamlessly, or B) it has a gradient or something that transitions to a solid color, so if someone has an execptionally wide screen they would see the solid color on eithe…

  • Constructive Criticism Needed

    As has already been said, the alignment of the boxes is a little off in places.. My main criticism is that there seems to be a bit too much white space.. decreasing the spacing between elements a little bit may help some.. I like the direction it&…

  • How to overlap floats?

    So long as the divs are either absolutely or relatively positioned, you can use z-index to put whichever layer on top that needs to be there..

  • browser fun

    The black bar is there in firefox too. There's an awful lot of empty space in the center of the layout, looks like you just have two narrow columns floated left and right, leaves a massive hole in the middle on my screen. The background fills…

    I believe drupal has some modules that provide this kind of functionality, so that might be worth a look.

  • Wordpress = PHP + MySql than Blogger = ??

    It's proprietary software developed by Pyra Labs, which was bought by google... not certain what language it's written in, but given it's speed I'd be surprised if at least portions of the code aren't something like a compil…

  • My Portfolio Site

    I agree with chazzwick, the design kind of falls apart on the contact page. It would be nice to see those fields with a bit of styling, rather than just being default form elements. Also, I can see how it may be a bit confusing to have the initial…

  • Best CMS to give Client Access to Edit pages

    CushyCMS is probably your best solution.. you can define exactly what is editable by adding class tags to specific elements. It's free, and no need to install anything extra on the webhost, just have to have ftp access to the site. I just set…

  • z-index issue?

    add a parameter when you load the flashfile on the page setting wmode to either opaque or transparent.. opaque is easier on the processor, so I favor that personally. Other than that, just remember that z-index only works on absolute & relative…

  • Repositioning Garage Door Menu

    edit the style.css file, and change the width of the ul#menuback element. since this is based on 200px wide images, if you change it to 200px instead of 800px it will be vertically stacked rather than horizontal.

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll take it into consideration when I've got time to do any additional work on the site. For the time being, it is what it is... I was only given so much to work with, ya know. ;) As I said, this is for a …

  • Hidden forms - need help

    I did something similar to this on one of the custom e-commerce apps I built at work. Of course it was done before I knew anything about jQuery, so it's a bit messier than the example Chris has provided, but the theory is the same. I have t…

  • Design feedback needed

    I agree that the logo should ideally stay in one place between all the pages, though the top left corner doesn't strike me as the best place for it with this design... Also I don't see how it would be below the fold on anyones screen unl…

  • change content depending on the time

    It could probably be accomplished with JavaScript too, the only hurdle there would be that javascript being client side would require a bit of calculation based on the timezone of the visitor vs. the timezone of the station. Probably the best solut…

    I can understand your frustration, as I have felt it many times myself... If you're continually having to reset margins and whatnot though you may be doing something a bit wrong. CSS by nature really shouldn't be redundant, it's cas…
