  • Better way to slice images in PHOTOSHOP

    The slice tool is the best method, you only need the one file, no need to copy and paste to a new image, or use the crop tool. You have the one image and the slice lines will remain.

  • I am forced to do table-layouts and I don't know why

    You need to explain why tables are not so great for layout. Contrary to what many people say tables are standards compliant so is not a legitimate argument. tables shouldn't be used because: - They make larger files than style files this is b…

  • My first site

    My first impression of the site made me think it was for a wedding photographer, even the tag line professional magician didn't clear it up as I though oh he works magic with the camera. The banner needs to look like magic not a wedding IMO

  • Javascript disabled?

    Again it comes down to target audience. If your users won't be using mobile devices, or using their work's / school's computer you can ignore old browsers and lack of JavaScript. You will also suffer from poorer SEO because spider bot…

  • CSS Images replacement and SEO

    I like that, very sneaky, like ninja. At the moment I don't think it will have too much of a detrimental effect and will degrade pretty well too. I don't see why it would be too different to using a text indent of -9999px (I am amazed thi…

  • Help With Warnings

    The reason you get that warning is because search engines will mark you negatively for it as it is an old trick to show one thing to the bots and something different to the reader to try and boost key words. Now it will have the opposite affect.

  • List Showing Up In FF not IE

    your conditional ie style sheet will not work because the in-line style will over rule it. Move the inline style to your normal stylesheet and then your ie style sheet will work.

  • another ie6 mystery

    This had me intrigued but it appears as though your colleague changed more than the background colour. display:inline-block was changed to display:inline so that's why it works now!

    They will get that world record, simply because it is a new record and no one has set it yet. lol good publicity ploy though.

  • for today I hate firefox

    I've just tested what I suggested with firebug and it is in the footer, in the very bottom of the page. It works because of the -ve margin in the page wrap which coincides with the same height as the footer, ie the footer overlaps the main con…

  • SEO Tips

    There is a lot of reading involved with SEO, so I'd advise you get a book. Look for one as recent as possible, as the search engines are always moving the goal posts.

  • for today I hate firefox

    It's because the body is set to 100% before the background image is set, which is where the background is set. Since you need the 100% for the sticky footer to work you can't change that. Instead set the background image to the pagewrap d…

    when there is no commas it will apply that style to the child in that exact order of coding. so for your example it will apply it to a list item in an unordered list within a div with id=content. ie: here is a list: first second …

  • Send different styles to IE, Firefox, & Safari with just CSS

    I also design for FF, then fix for IE. I don't bother with hacks though, separate IE specific style sheets are also what I use.

  • EM-based-website

    I thought that may be something like that, but didn't have the time to look at it properly. IE doesn't deal with margins as you'd expect, (that's why the sticky footer thing breaks in IE if you use margins). Microsoft's inte…
