How do big companies (or websites trying to become huge) get advertisers and sponsors?
Do they hire people to search for them? Where do they go?
Do people take cuts or payment upfront?

Looking to explain how I'm going to get advertisement and sponsors on my website to my backer!

any suggestions?

i'm really close to just deleting the form altogether... but i'm trying not to give up hope...

Hi all, I'm working on a website for a freelance client and have run dinto a couple of snags. I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable than I can help:

1. Is there a way to target a link to open in a new tab of a browser, instead of in a separate window?

2. Is there an easy way to indent something? The tab key isn't working for this, and I could insert nonbreaking spaces, but it makes the code kind of sloppy in terms of having someone else update the content. Is there a way to do this, either with or without CSS?

I'm using Dreamweaver MX2004 as well as doing some hand-editing of the code. The site will eventually be updated by someone else, so I'm trying to keep it fairly simple.
Thanks!

So, in light of this post: http://community.livejournal.com/webdesign/1286735.html I have a related question.

For the life of me, I can't get transparent gifs to work properly in html anymore. At all. I make an image in photoshop, make sure its transparent, save as a gif. Open the gif in photoshop and its transparent. When I place it into an HTML doc it gets a white background.

So eventually i said 'forget it" and switched to .png, which works. But now I realize that it doesn't work in IE6 and below...

What oh what is a girl to do?! How can I either a) make .gifs appear transparent again, or b) make my .pngs transparent in IE6 and below? Which is the easiest / best solution?

Thanks!

I've lurked for a long time, and I was wondering if it's okay to ask some questions pertaining to building a web page in flash. I've never done anything with flash before, and I've been making my portfolio page in a class for it. I've been working my way through it and have come to a problem.

My problem is located on the page for "2d Art"
http://www.ufotofu.net/test.html

Basically-- my goal is to have thumbnails which viewers can use to click on and display a sample of art. I have a few buttons out to test, and I made corresponding .jpg images that will load via the "Load Graphic behavior"

I have it set to load the image on release-- and it works, but then I'm left with a problem. Once it loads, it wont go away. If someone goes to load something, it wont go back to the other one when it's clicked.

Right now, only the first two thumbnails are set up. I didn't bother to do any more when I found this issue. They load once and I suppose it's something to do with layers.

But ultimately, I would like to be able to have someone click an image, have the page show the art, and then when a new one is clicked-- get rid of the previous one and load the new image.

Many thank yous in advance for your help!

Hi all,

I recently added a background image to a client's website, and at the same time, I changed the backgrounds of some pictures (a banner, a line separating the links bar, a picture...) from white to transparent, so that the background would show through normally.

Bizarrely, when she looks at the site in IE, she says she sees gray boxes in place of the transparency. Site looks fine in any other browser--we've tested firefox and Safari thus far.

Anyone have a similar experience/know how to correct this?

If you could take a minute and view the site and let me know if the transparency is showing up properly for you (and what browser you're using), I'd appreciate it. www.juliamannes.com

I need to use CSS classes for a journal entry, but obviously can't get to the head teags 'cos they're not accessible, as is probably obvious.

The internal CSS stuff basically needs to go inside the body tags. Is there a way to do this? It's for another journal (not LJ, but it runs on LJ's code). I read something about calling JS but I'm not at all bright with that so I'd need a play-by-play.

Thanks!

Hey

I'm helping a friend set up a website for her fanfiction. The problem is she knows no html at all so what I was thinking of doing was installing a programme for her that would allow her to have sections for her fanfiction and allow her to update easily. But at the same time allow her to put in graphics as header images etc... I have no idea where to start looking for that though! So the question is, does anyone know of anything I can use for this? Any recommendations?

Thank you!

The site

This site was done using all CS and is showing correctly in Firefox. When I test it in IE 6.0 All of the top navigation and images disappear. I have no idea why. I've tried changing the order of my divs on the page and double checked all my z-indices. Any help would be appreciated!

So yeah, I've been out of the game for a long long time, and CSS is driving me up a wall.

I'm having a lot of trouble centering images vertically and horizontally with slight offsets. The point is so everything is in the center of the window and stays there when you adjust window size.



The actual site.

What I want it to look like:


The style sheet:

Also, I can only get one of my buttons to work as an actual link. What is the world coming to?


This is so embarrassing.

Hello everyone! I just joined this community (I'm actually surprised I've never joined earlier). At any rate, I've been a web designer for several years but, as it goes, we all run into problems at some time or another. I had originally posted this problem in my personal journal and on MySpace, but got no bites. So, I thought I'd try here. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Here is the problem:

I'm working on a project for my job in which I've created all CSS drop down menus (no javascript). Unfortunately, right below them, there is a flash slide show, which is an embedded object. It is a known thing that flash objects always appear on top of everything else, hence the drop downs get covered by the flash. I applied the 'name="wmode" value="transparent"' param to the flash object. I also added a negative z-index and position attribute to the object's styles. BUT, these solutions only seem to work in IE for windows. In Safari Firefox, and Opera the menus are covered while the flash slideshow is moving (when the picture is still, it is fine though).

SO...my question to you people who may have had experience with this is... is there any other solution to fix this in the rest of the browsers that aren't IE? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much! :-)

I'm working on a layout and I've run into a rather annoying little snag when I was checking to see how it worked across three browsers (IE, FF, and Opera).

That is, in Firefox, the divs don't line up.

The idea is to have the gray background behind the content/sidebar line up equally and extend to the bottom of the page. The header that says "Navigation" above the links has also disappeared entirely.

http://www.freewebs.com/celestial-trance

This problem is isolated to Firefox, as it displays the same in both IE and Opera.

How can I fix this problem so it will display correctly in FF?

No, it's not advanced web design, but it's kind of an experiment to see what it is about internet memes that makes them popular and gets them forwarded. I've made a few other ones too.
