custom scrollbar
Custom scrollbars are not necessarily a good idea. On an accessibility point, changing the 'standard' look of the scrollbar can cause confusion for your visitors.

Coda vs Espresso
I still swear by TextMate. I've tried both Coda and Espresso but always return to TextMate. I know that this is because I've invested a lot of time in developing my practice for TextMate before the likes of Coda came onto the scene. If you…

Cross Browser Testing - what to believe?
If you're serious about testing, then you can't beat a dedicated test machine. I work on a mac, so have 2 cheap pc's: one running xp and one Win7 to test IE6/7/8 (arguably there's little need to test IE6, but old habits die hard)…

is display:table good practice?
I wouldn't say it was bad practice. As long as your HTML is left 'pure' and semantic, then use whatever CSS that works. If display:table does what you want it to do after testing it in all browsers - then I don't see anything wro…

Semantic Divs
There is no semantic way to add meaningless content. You can check to see if you're utilising all existing block-level elements for you background images. If you do need more, then add more, but don't go overboard. It's never ideal to…

Javascript and Mailchimp
Mail template sites and scripts block JavaScript because email clients don't support javascript. When designing an email template, forget all you know about web standards and revert to Tables for layout with inline CSS. So any graphics would ne…

[Solved] Need a Block Level Element
Can't you just use another Div? A div is a block-level element. It would be inappropriate use of a frameset given that it isn't a frameset ;)

[SOLVED]a question(css)
The text should wrap automatically. (Unless you have no spaces at all in your text) Can you provide a sample of the code you're using - including html doctype, or better still, a live page to look at.

my tables are horrible!
There's no reason to use tables to mark up a form. A form is not a table. You're life would be so much simpler if you ditch the tables and use CSS to position/style your form elements. There are also significant accessibility issues when u…

CSS background color disappears when ad image
In any event, you've overwritten your initial background-color property when you write the subsequent background. By not specifying a color in your background property, you've effectively reset it to transparent.

My Wordpress Website is Slow
Which browser are you testing your site in? There are a lot of people finding the latest Wordpress 2.8 to be very slow when viewed in Firefox 3.

need to display wordpress pages with a .htm extention
You could modify your server to parse .htm files as php - then rename your theme files and any links to them in wordpress... and no doubt a whle host of other files so that the whole system doesn't break. Is there a reason why these files must …

Horizontal list not working in firefox 2
Its de-rigour to design for the latest 2 versions of a web browser, so in theory IE6 can now be unsupported with the arrival of IE8 (although market share dictates that perhaps we'll have to continue support for a little while yet). So, the lat…

ASP and HTML questions
If you are talking about classic ASP and are just starting to learn it... why?? If you have a choice, learn PHP instead.

CSS Tables
The problem for me with using CSS-Tables is the extra mark up required to make it work. It's something I'd played around with long before Rachel Andrew's book was released and I felt it too big a compromise to add divs to make a layou…

Placing footer after absolute
Why are you using position:absolute anyway? Why are you using tables? Remove the CSS from your head, it'll only confuse matters. You have many problems there before you need to worry about your footer position ;)

Help. Firefox on Mac is unbearably slow (for me)
I found firefox 3.0* very slow even without any addons - and I'm not alone in experiencing this problem, it's pretty widespread with OS X users. I do have Firebug working well in FF3.1 beta however. I can't remember whether I hacked i…

Transferring Wordpress between machines
Wordpress should use its base URL for attachments, but it doesn't for some reason - I'm sure they have their reasons, but I agree that it's a right pain when transferring sites with image attachments. I've not transferred a wordp…

Transferring Wordpress between machines
You will need to transfer your database too. Export it from machine A to a text file, then import that text file on machine B. Typically you would use phpmyadmin to aid this. Then you'll chagne the base URL in the machine B database to reflect …

Help. Firefox on Mac is unbearably slow (for me)
Firefox on OS X can be a bit of a handful - I stopped using it since version 3.0, although the 3.1 beta I have to say is much faster! I initially moved to Safari 3 - but then after a couple of updates, I found that that too was becoming sluggish - a…
