Firefox Pros and Cons
Date: 04/15/05 (Mozilla) Keywords: software, browser, css, security, microsoft, google
I'm not really looking for an answer in this post, mostly just the community's thoughts.
The high school that I attend has internet access, like most other high schools now a days, but our computer tech seems to think that Internet Explorer is the browser of choice and won't even consider looking at anything else. He's dependant on Microsoft and can't really think outside of the box. Anyways, he told me that for him to do anything, the district would have to put Firefox (the browser that I'm pushing) on the "aproved software list". I can come up with several key "pros" that Firefox has over IE, but I was wondering if any of you could tell me some that I'm overlooking. Here's what I have:
- Pop-up blocking
- Correct CSS rendering
- Tabbed Browsing
- Increased stability (has only crashed once on me)
- Increased security (in respect to its lack of security holes that have plagued IE since forever)
- Easy access to various search engines
- Constantly updated to fix security holes
- Completely free
If I have any misinformation, I was just led to believe it from whatever source, so sorry about that. I tried mozilla.org for any other differences but couldn't come up with any.
Also, right before I posted this, I thought I should search google just one last time to pick up anything I might have left off. This site sounds very persuasive. Maybe I should send most of this article or a link to it to the District instead?Source: http://www.livejournal.com/community/mozilla/272163.html

CMS

I run a mixed content website with a couple of my friends. One of those friends knows html and some basic php. I know html and some basic php and some css. The third friend knows nothing.
I'm looking for a CMS that we can use to update our site.
www.thisisjerkass.com
That's our site, as you can see we have articles, videos, etc. I'm just looking for a way to make posts on the front page a lot easier. As of now, I have to edit four files just to put it up there and archive it. I can't use just a regular blogging cms because the format of the site isn't exactly a blog. Anyone have any suggestions?Source: http://www.livejournal.com/community/webdev/189709.html

css help
Date: 04/21/05 (WebDesign) Keywords: css
I'm building a simple site and don't know too much css, I'm really working on it though :)
But for the meantime, I made a table for the basic layout and I have an image in the backround of one of the td's. I want it to not repeat, and be on the right.
using this:
.norepeat { background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; background-image: url(image.jpg); background-position: right center}
it works properly in IE but firfox actually sticks the thing in the top right corner of the entire page, not just the td. I'm a little stumped *L*
Did I miss a step? I tried finding the solution on my own but I can't really spend too much time on this.
Anybody got a quick fix for me? Thanks!Source: http://www.livejournal.com/community/webdesign/860850.html

css & state machines..
Date: 04/22/05 (WebDesign) Keywords: css
A couple of years ago I was writing Unrealscript for a game dev shop... One of the unique things about Unrealscript is the fact that a state machine is actually part of the language.
A while back, I got to fantasizing about what I wished I could do with CSS and a state machine seemed like a natural fit.

Damn IE
Date: 04/26/05 (WebDesign) Keywords: css, html, web
I'm making a website for my webdesign class using XHTML and CSS. I've got a little bit done and it validates on W3C and looks the way I want in Safari, Camino and Firefox (for Mac and Windows), but IE is not cooperating, and that is what the professor uses to grade these things. Basically what I have so far is a table set to span 100% of the window and it is flush against the top of the window. But in IE it's flush to the top and to the left, but there is space to the right of the table. Any idea as to why it's ignoring that I set the width to 100%?

Date Functions?
Date: 05/05/05 (Web Development) Keywords: css, html, web
I need help with creating a calendar in css, can someone help me out.
This is what I have to do:
1. I have to create a new blank file and save it as caldendar.js
2. Then within the file, I am supposed to insert a function named calendar() that has a single parameter named "caldate". The caldate parameter stores the date the user wants hightlighted in the calendar.
3. Within the command block of the calendar() function, I am to create an array named "MonthName" that stores the names of the twelve months. Th first element in the array, MonthName[0] should have a value of "January" and completes the rest of the array similarly.
4. Then I am to create an array, "DayName", that stores the three letter abbreviations of the seven weekday names, starting with DayName[0] ="Sun".
5. After the DayName array, I am to create a date object variable named Calendar_Day. If the value of the caldate parameter is equal to "today", set Calendar_Day equal to the current date and time; otherwise, set Calendar_Day equal to the date specified by the caldate parameter. (Hint: use the command: Calendar_Day = new Date(caldate)).
6. Use the getDate(), getMonth(), and getFullYear() methods to extract the day of the month, month number, and four-digit year from the Calendar_Day variable. Store these values in variables named ThisDay, ThisMonth, and ThisYear, respectively.
7. Then I am to use the doucment.write() method to write the following tags to the Web page:
Where [I]Month, Year[/I] is the name of the month and the four-digit year. (Hint: use MonthName[ThisMonth] to display the name of the month; use the ThisYear variable to display the year value.)
Now this is what I have done?
8. I am to create a For loop that writes a table row containing seven table heading cells. The For loop should generate the following HTML code:
I don't think I did any of this right, so can someone point in the right direction.Source: http://www.livejournal.com/community/webdev/194997.html

Help with css
Date: 05/08/05 (WebDesign) Keywords: browser, css
Ok, I have a problem. I posted about this in some comments in this community... but, just in case some of you didn't see it in that post, I'm going to post it here too. I'll put it under a cut.
The following is the code I used in my Angelfire site for a .css file. It works perfectly in IE but not in FireFox. In FireFox the fonts still load how they're supposed to but the background information doesn't load. What am I doing wrong? Oh, and I did verify that it's pointing in the right direction. What I mean by that is... the file that I'm telling it to load for the background exists in the specified location. Here's a textarea with the code, I don't know how else to post it.
Since downloading firefox, I have changed my Angelfire site and amberkaye.com site to include the css information in the header of each .htm file... which makes sure it loads correctly in both browsers. So neither site points to this .css file anymore.
Thanks in advance for your help.Source: http://www.livejournal.com/community/webdesign/870454.html

Transparent table background problem in IE - works in Firefox
Date: 05/09/05 (HTML Help) Keywords: css, html, microsoft
I'm trying to customize my journal a bit, and am having a bit of a strange problem with IE. It seems to randomly choose which tables it wants to display properly with my current style. Firefox always displays them correctly. My journal
!['[info]']('http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif')
elf_inside has a dark background with a screened table background using advanced S2 editing.
I'm asking here because it doesn't seem to be an S2 problem, rather it is an HTML issue. I'm not sure why IE would apparently randomly treat tables differently on the same page!
The css options I have set are:
table, tr, td, .shadowed
{
background-color: transparent;
background-image: url("http://host/image.gif");
background-repeat: repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
I also triedfilter:alpha(opacity=80);filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(opacity=8 0); -moz-opacity:0.8;
but this had 2 bad side effects: The text and images went transparent too (not desired), as well as it slowed firefox down hugely.
In firefox, the transparent gif seems to work perfectly as a table background. In IE, it works *sometimes*.. but not *all the time*... Anybody know how to get this to display correctly in IE?Source: http://www.livejournal.com/community/htmlhelp/1961276.html

Vertical centering with CSS
Date: 05/12/05 (WebDesign) Keywords: css
I'm having some trouble trying to vertically center a
with CSS. Clicking on the Quasar logo on the bottom right works the way it should on the shorter pages that don't really scroll like this one but on longer pages like this one, where I have to scroll to the bottom to click the link, the div shows up at the top of the page. Is there anyway to make it center vertically on the current screen when the visibility is set to visible? Would resetting the margins/top placement work?Source: http://www.livejournal.com/community/webdesign/875630.html

In reference to my post last night...
I found a VERY easy way to do this, using a tutorial from blogger.com, which can be found here:
http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=943
All you need is an extremely basic javascript and two CSS classes: one to hide the text, and one to show the text.
The javascript just uses a simple variable to determine if the current CSS class is the hidden or not hidden class, then switches it to the opposite. It allows you to click the show/hide link to show or hide the text without needing to refresh the page.
This solution was a heck of a lot easier than a lot of the mostly-javascript solutions I found on message forums and whatnot.
Just FYI for anyone who is interested. :) It worked extremely well for my FAQ page on my own site, part of which can be seen here as an example:

- Taming list help
Date: 05/14/05 (Web Development) Keywords: css, html, web
I am attempting to put together the navigation bar in my portfolio website and I've run into a technical hitch. I'm using a list styled with CSS to remove the bullet points, put in backgrounds etc. It all works fine when I take out the bullets, padding and margins, but as soon as I try to style the links it all falls apart.
/* List formatting */
#nav {
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#nav2 {
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#nav2 li {
border: 1px solid #000000;
}
/* Link formatting */
#nav a {
display: block;
background: #FF99FF;
}
#nav2 a {
display: block;
background: #CCCCFF;
}
A really simple version of the HTML is here. I've put in some dreadful background colours to illustrate the problem. The ideas is to style the links as blocks, enabling me to put in backgrounds, padding etc. It all works in Firefox, but in IE it seems to add extra padding between the links. Taking out thedisplay: blockin theaimmediately takes out the extra padding. Oddly, adding a border around thelitakes out the padding, too. If only I wanted a border!
I know that it's worked for me before, but I can't work out why it isn't working this time. I've compared the code to other websites that I've designed and it should work. Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong before I start tearing my hair out? If it's an IE quirk, can anyone tell me why it's suddenly decided to bug me? Is there some declaration that I'm completely missing because I've been staring at it for so long?Source: http://www.livejournal.com/community/webdev/199547.html

So I know there has been MUCH talk about how CSS is the new standard to replace tables and such.. well I was struggling with learning exactly how it all played out.. until.. well I opened my eyes.. for all those Dreamweaver folks out there.. there are some prebuilt CSS page layouts that if you simply look them over, show you exactly how it's done and in good fashion as well.. so I'm now on my way to learning how to use CSS as the brains behind my web layouts from here on.. so there's my tip of the day.. now.. on to the topic at hand..
.. can anyone recommend a good DB Converter.. one such as Access to MySQL?..
Thanks in advance.Source: http://www.livejournal.com/community/webdesign/879929.html
