I am attempting to create my very first TABLELESS layout (YAY!) It's about time.
So, I've run into a snag. Already. The background image will fit wonderfully into the top left corner of the layout, which is great. I wanted to try the same background image as the background of the image I'm using. There is a gap. No matter what options I set, there is always this stupid gap between the top of the div and the top of the window.
You'll see a bit of the finger in the background, repeated. That's the one set as the body background. The one I wanted to use was the one overtop of it, the one in the menu div. I'll be getting rid of the body one afterwards if I get this to work. This shows up this way in all browsers on my system, and I have 6 different ones so far, so hey.
The numbers are to be ignored. I know what I'm doing with those. They're just already in place for what I'm doing and just so happen to be in the div I'm talking about.
EDIT: FIXED!!! I figured out that one of the elements inside the DIV I'd made "relative" instead of "absolute" so it was causing a problem in apparently all browsers except IE (which I do have, but on Parallels, so I hadn't tried it yet) Thanks to all who tried to help. I really appreciate it!
Not sure if it can be asked here, but here I am, completely new to the whole web design stuff.
For the last 5 hours I am trying to learn how to use lightbox but it doesn't work for me.
I barely know CSS and HTML, so I don't even know what goes where, and how.
Could anyone write/make a tutorial with step after step, so I could just save the files, and replace with different images? My eyes hurt and I just can't understand what goes where, and what do I save and stuff. I downloaded and saved the lightbox folder but still have a lot of problems with this part 1 and 2 and stuff... I need literally step after step with all the codes and what should I save where etc etc... http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/
In case anyone cares, the technical details of the AMD K10 TLB erratum (that's "bug" for the layman) was posted by an AMD fellow on a Linux mailing list. I found it via a post response on Informationweek.com:
AMD Family 10h revision B2 processors suffer from an issue in the processor TLB known as erratum 298. Erratum 298 is documented in a forthcoming update to the Revision Guide for AMD Family 10h Processors (PID 41322). The workaround in the Revision Guide document is intended to be applied by BIOS. The BIOS workaround has performance implications which can be avoided by having the OS directly workaround the issue. A Linux 64-bit patch was developed for 2.6.23.8 by AMD's OSRC team and will be posted to this list by Joerg Roedel. The patch is for demonstration purposes and is NOT being recommended to be applied upstream.
Erratum 298 will be described as follows: "The processor operation to change the accessed or dirty bits of a page translation table entry in the L2 from 0b to 1b may not be atomic. A small window of time exists where other cached operations may cause the stale page translation table entry to be installed in the L3 before the modified copy is returned to the L2. In addition, if a probe for this cache line occurs during this window of time, the processor may not set the accessed or dirty bit and may corrupt data for an unrelated cached operation. The system may experience a machine check event reporting an L3 protocol error has occurred. In this case, the MC4 status register (MSR 0000_0410) will be equal to B2000000_000B0C0F or BA000000_000B0C0F. The MC4 address register (MSR 0000_0412) will be equal to 26h."
The L2 Eviction Linux kernel performance patch re-enables the registers set for the BIOS workaround described in the Revision Guide document. It then prevents the processor from performing the operation that can trigger erratum 298. The patch works by emulating the Accessed and Dirty bits.
The basis for the kernel patch solution depends on the root cause of the L2 eviction problem. The only exposure for the problem is when the TLB needs to set an A or D bit in a page table entry. If the TLB never needs to set an A or D bit, the bug cannot occur. By emulating the A and D bits with the help of the Present and Writable bits, the patch will ensure the real A and D bits are always preset. It works by forcing a page fault when the first access is made to a page with the emulated A bit not set, and when the first write access is made to a writable page with the emulated D bit not set. Emulated A and D bits are stored in bits generally available to the OS in the page table entry.

This response on the Informationweek page pretty much sums up the situation:
Now here is where the real stink occurs -- AMD invited press (rather than ship press review kits as normal) to benchmark Phenom for the launch day (Nov. 19th). Of course, the bench systems were setup by AMD, without any work around, and also over clocked the northbridge from what is stock conditions. In otherwords, it is likely that most, if not all, reported data on the Phenom desktop performance is overstated from what you will buy at retail. As such, TechReport obtained samples (retail samples) outside of AMD and retested the Phenom with and without the erratum workaround: http://www.techreport.com/articles.x/13741
There is between 5 to 50% performance hit, averaging to 13.9% overall when using the BIOS update AMD supplied but conveniently neglected to install during the "Tahoe Trip".
The entire launch of this product is, for all intents and purposes, entirely botched.
Up till recently, the company I work at has built PHP applications by first writing static HTML pages from scratch and then rigging them up with enough PHP code to satisfy the short-term requirements of the project. This is fine for very small projects, but it just doesn't scale well. Up until I arrived at the company, all HTML/CSS and PHP was written in Dream Weaver, and all applications were built to display properly in Dream Weaver as well as in a browser.
I am trying to adopt the use of PHP MVC frameworks, but I am running into problems with Dream Weaver. Dream Weaver practically expects to be working on a somewhat primitive architecture where the URL structure of a site is directly derived from the directory structure of the files on the filesystem.
Has anyone here successfully configured Dream Weaver to play nicely with Cake, Symfony, or any other frameworks that make heavy use of URL rewriting and dynamically assembled pages?
I have a border problem in that the border stays in the window but if I have my bookmarks open; it still stays while the right side of the page shifts to the right behind the scroll bar.
I haven’t uploaded the page yet, and will post the css and html if required. I’m a total n00b to css, and have styled it on my current website, which is just html table based, but my index page (on my computer) with the css is validated and it’s only an annoying style issue. It looks fine IE BTW.
I’m using css to style it tables because I couldn’t get what I wanted with floats, absolute positioning etc. When I’m a bit more experienced (more then two weeks) I might try again, so please don’t shoot me yet.
i am wanting to make my tab nav a php include such that i can easily change the menu for all pages as needed. i am using CSS class on the LI element to indicate selected. so how to have that show up for each page without hard coding the menu or using parameterized url?
i know i could use dreamweaver templates for this but i forget how i did that before, so i am trying to do with php now [unless you suggest better/best way to do?]:
i know this is very crude but was trying to do this before posting here. this works fine but is obviously inelegant.. i'm sure you've all had to deal with this in some form or another. i'm embarrassed to ask.
also this method doesn't allow for use of HTML "title" attribute as i'm quite fond of using that for menus and such. the dreamweaver template method would be static but would be versatile as well.
open to discussion/recommendations/examples. thanks
I've put a header on my Livejournal. Only problem is that everytime you click it, it goes to Photobucket's website. I hate this and want to be able to click the banner without getting transfered all the time. (Not that there is any reason to click it, but sometimes by accident it happens, very annoying). Have tried doing the code differently but failed. How do you paste the code in the 'if you have an external counter you can enter the html here' box without having the Photobucket link? Everytime I've tried to alter the code the picture either hasn't shown up or just had a text link with no picture. Please help me. Thanks!
I have a question about PHP generated template websites. I am a member of an organization that has about fifty different charters across the united states. Recently, they have moved from a html website (www.owbn.org) to a new site using a PHP Template (www.oneworldbynight.org)
Now, I am not a fan of their new site, mostly due to it's using of PHP templates and it's overall design. I have always been under the perhaps misguided impression that these kind of templates were not the most effecient way to maintain a site. Since this site came online, I have expressed my opinion and since then have been told of the many benefits of PHP.
My question to you all is, am I right in feeling that PHP templates are ill advised? Is this site really not that bad? Am I a fool to think that I could do better?
I could do with some help and this community seemed to be the right place to ask.
I know basic HTML/CSS and I'm building a website for a friend. Part of what he wants is an interactive tutorial. He doesn't want to manually mark it, so the tutorial has to move along at the pace of the user.
I was wondering it it was possible to code radio buttons so that they point to a URL? For example, there would be a question with three possible outcomes. If you pick the wrong answer and press submit, then you'd be sent to a page telling you that you'd made the wrong choice and explaining why. This feels like a real N00b question, but I just can't for the life of me work out how to do it.
Any help and advice would be great. Thanks for reading. :)
Regarding my ideas for reducing website bandwidth needs, I've come up with a toolset to implement them. "webcrush" requires Java and Ruby to be installed, but otherwise comes with 5 OSS tools that optimize different kinds of website files. The default mode does a non-destructive optimization; and the aggressive mode (when complete) will convert GIFs to PNGs and cleanup HTML.
Looking into options for a free, integratable shopping cart.
Does such a thing exist?
I am an HTML/CSS person who can more or less deal with nosing her way through javascript... But that's the extent of my ability thus far. So I'm looking for something that won't make me want to kill myself when I try to install it, and something that I will be readily able to integrate into an existing site with CSS. And, obviously, that is fairly secure and reliable.
What are your suggestions? I've looked into jspcart a little bit -- if anyone has used it, can you give me your opinion? Is there another one you'd recommend?
I recently had to get my iBook repaired by Apple (I really should learn not to spill tea on the keyboard), and they returned it to me with the hard drive wiped. I've been putting things back together, including installing Firefox again, but there's something I can't find on the Mozilla home page or with a Google search, and it's driving me nuts.
I know there's a way to do something in Preferences, I think in the Advanced section on fonts, that will make ♥ (the html for a heart symbol) show up as an actual heart and not the vertical line it's appearing as now. I think I found the way to do this from a link to the old LJ community for Firefox fans that has since been deleted. Is there anyone here who knows what I'm talking about and how to make it happen?
my html skills are current as of about 1999 and i JUST took a 2 day CSS seminar...so i really am new...
i'm putting together a simple portfolio for my husband - one day the thumbs all worked as links the next day 4 stopped working - i don't think i changed any of that code...maybe i did, but the issue:
I spent most of the year working on a book, Adpating to Web Standards: CSS and Ajax for Big Sites, with some talented people. It's geared to help Web agencies and large companies with their own Web teams learn how to incoporate Web standards into their workflow, but also will help individual Web designers trying to figure out to make their Web sites more roust.
Published by New Riders in December 2007, the book is divided into two parts: the theory and the pratical case studies. The first part covers chapters by Rob Cherny and Kimberly Blessing on HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Web Applications and Web Standards Worflow. The second part by Meryl K. Evans and Kevin Lawver covers Tori Amos’s official Web site and AOL.com.
I'm running a book contest right now on my Web site to give away three copies of the book.
