So... what are your best roll-over image techniques?

My plan requires roll-over images, but quite frankly, the web is saturated with pages, and it confuses me as to knowing what is proper and what is not.

So, I need some help. Can you guys tell me what you use for roll-overs when it comes to CSS?

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for resources on Interface or User Experience design. This can be web interface, application GUI, even spacial interaction or exhibit design... Ideally I'm looking for a mix of academic resources and "example" books (like the 1000 series from Rockport). This is a direction I think I ultimately want to go in and I'd really like any suggestions you might have.

Thanks!

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/

 
Thanks to anyone who's willing to help!

When you're creating a template for a website, how long do you usually make it? 800 or 1000 pixels?

Thanks!

Hey there! I am in a contest and would like to spread the word, fast. There is a prize for being the most viral.

The method I have been using is not working sufficiently. I have been using the contest's "Post to Website Tools", but everyone else is blowing me out of the water with "hits".

They added a new feature where others can use the "Post to Website Tools" and it will earn me even more hits. Anyone interested in helping me "spread the word"? Please?!

Here is a link to the contest page (you can even read my submission and vote if you would like). Use the Post to Website button to help "spread the word".

Thanks!

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'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!

Hey everyone,

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?

Thanks! <3

Recently I downloaded a film that when I play it, all I have is sound, no video.  What code am I missing.  I tried it in another player the DizX (I know it starts with a D I can't remember the correct spelling), and it said I need a dirrect source code or something close to that.  

I'm now lost because I can't seem to find anything on ms's website to help me.  

Does anyone know what I'm missing?  If I try to convert this file to a mp4 will it have video?

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.

I'm not really proficient in using mysql/php, and in my website I noticed that either people/spambots are inputing suspicious words into my mysql parameter things (not sure what to call them).

For example, I use mysite.com/avatars.php?series=seriesName to sort my avatars. But I see people entering urls of a completely different website after the equal sign. The URLs are really weird ones, so I think they're either porn websites or some other unsavory site. I'm not about to visit them and find out.

When I try entering a random thing after the equal sign, or a website url after the equal sing, nothing seems to happen. Except it returns an empty page. So is this something I should worry about?
