I have this annoying design issue...

The image below shows my user submitted posts displayed like a blog and each postings text are spilling out of the div box. How do get the edges of the div box to be hard and wrap the text?

Okay lovelies.

I have been asked to make all my sites viewable on cell phones, and other mobile devices. I have no clue whatsoever as to how to accomplish this. Can anyone point me to a good site for references?

Thank you very much!

okay so i posted in here a while ago about some coding and i can't get it to work in my favor at all. so hopefully someone can help me:


so here is the main splash. it's one gif file with the thumbnails already in the built into it (the little squares). all i want to do is have the user be able to click or roll over each thumb nail and have the painting pop up where the larger scale image is. i'm using golive (i know i know but dreamweaver hurts my brain). i tried image mapping but it brings you to a new window and that's not what my client wants. can anyone help or suggest something??

Suggestions on getting a favicon to show up properly in IE7?

Don't know if anyone's had this problem before or anything, and it seems to be just my computer, but you never know. SO, I'm asking here anyway.

Yesterday I changed the name addresses on a domain name at godaddy.com to point to the webpage I'm working on.
By the end of the night, I was at someone elses house, and checked to see if it worked. It did.
BUT, I am home now on my computer, and it's not working.
I have cleared all my information and cookies on the browser like godaddy.com suggested, and it still doesn't work. Not only that, but it's not just that browser that isn't working.
ALL of the browsers on my computer aren't working. They all show the godaddy.com parking page instead of the page I created, but I know for a fact it is pointing to the right one.

So, this isn't really a webpage question, I think.
I need to see what I'm doing when I work on the page, obviously.
http://www.haddadbakery.com is the domain name, just so you can see for yourself.
I don't know if it matters, but I'm on an intel macintosh computer.
I'm asking here because this is somewhat related and maybe someone has had this problem before...

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this.

Came across this nicely designed site by the people at Campaign Monitor: The Email Standards Project. If you design/code HTML emails, the Campaign Monitor knowledge base is awesome and this is a great new project to get the word out about standards and testing in different clients.

I know some of you are fabulous bloggers.  Have any of you found blogging software that allows threads (ie instead of just comments to the original post, they can or I can respond to them directly)?  What about blogging software that automatically updates the blog, like for example, a mirror like if I post in livejournal for example, the post would also automatically be made in a seperate blog outside of livejournal.  Frankly, I wanted to use livejournal for my blog, but they don't allow non-members to comment except anonymously and I don't want my friends outside of livejournal to have to make anonymous comments. 

This is what I've got so far!

That's using http://www.nucleuscms.org

I'm not married to it.  If there is anything better, I wanna know!

How does one go about registering a domain name and hosting for a client? I'm doing a design for a less-than-skilled computer user who needs a domain name and hosting and I'd love to set it up for her, but I don't want her to divulge her credit card numbers to me. What is the best practice for this? Give her detailed instructions on how to do it herself? Set it up myself and somehow transfer ownership to her? Something else?

Thanks in advance!

I want to have an array of databased results display in rows...

[pic] [pic] [pic]

[pic] [pic] [pic]

[pic] [pic] [pic]

...

and not..


[pic]
[pic]
[pic]
[pic]
[pic]
[pic]
...

My trouble is that without formatting, results show like example 2.
I've been able to create this by using tables, however like many I'm not a fan of tables and want to use css to accomplish this.

Help, ideas?

Thanks,

This is a very desperate cry for help. I seem to have broken my company's website.

How do I set index.asp in the directory public as the default page?

Nothing is working and I'm not sure what it is that I deleted accidentally :(
I'm kind of new to ASP, and I can't seem to find anything helpful with a Google search.

Has anyone had experience with sending out HTML emails on Thunderbird for Mac?

I downloaded Thunderbird specifically so I would be able to do this. I have yet to successfully do it. I see some simple buttons to insert pictures, change font, etc., but what I actually want to do is insert my own code -- I've already designed the email itself as a separate HTML page.

When I do that, it just sends the whole thing as plain text. Tags and all.

It seems like it may be a Thunderbird-for-Mac thing -- my boyfriend just downloaded Thunderbird onto his windows machine and said that it looks completely different. He is trying to send my HTML email to me now, as a test.

Please don't respond just to tell me why I shouldn't be sending HTML anyway. This is for a client who specifically wants a HTML email blast. They have their own software, but I'd like to be able to send myself a test email in Thunderbird. I really just need to know how to do it, not to be scolded for doing it.

Thanks.

Hey guys.. I have a really weird thing happening with a site I'm working on and thought I'd see if any of you have run into this issue, and might know what to do about it.

Of course, it's IE 6 that's doing this wonky arse thing:




The last 2 letters of the last link (Contact Us) are zipping down to the 'next line'.. and it's doing it no matter how short I make that word (Just the C does it) But as soon as I remove the link itself the nav is fine. I've tried playing with the widths of both the links themselves and the containing div.. but nothing is working.

here's the page and the stylesheet

Just wanted to say a belated thanks to those of you who made suggestions when my website wouldn't work for some people but was fine for everyone else! The suggestion of using asmallorange.com hosting has worked out great. Far more "up" time than Cirtex. And everyone can visit my website if they want to.

I'm putting a shop on my site at the moment, using mals-e.com. It's all straight forward enough except for one of my pages, which seems to have thrown a fit. It's about 200 miles long! None of the other pages where I've used the same code have done this so I can't work out what's happened.

This page's length is fine and this one's fine too.

What has this page been smoking?!

I haven't taken any schooling for design and I'm all self-taught.

(Anyone else just put elements together until it looks good to you?)

Clients seem to like my web pages but I'd like to obtain some sort of design "legitimacy" at one point too.

Would anyone care to critique my website here: www.aaronkeuper.com which is just up in design only (I still have to shore up some content).

Please.... be gentle... I'll post more websites for review later on today.

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to give me some criticism!

Hi.  I'm trying to find one of those online community portfolio sites where you can upload a few examples of your work - not deviantart.  I had a few bookmarked, but of course I can't find the links when I need them. 

Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance :)
