CSS, templates, other...
Date: 01/24/06 Keywords: templates, css, web
Can anyone briefly explain to me the intricacies of this website?
http://web.e-enterprise.purdue.edu/dlc/duri
I have made websites before... and have experimented with CSS, mostly just making stylesheets or using templates in Dreamweaver. I need to make a website following a similar format, but I am not sure how complex this particular site is. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

:hover in IE
Date: 01/24/06 Keywords: no keywords
Would anyone out there be able to explain to me how to get :hover on something other than an anchor tag (such as li:hover) to work in IE? I've finally gotten my tabs to work correctly except for this small problem. If you take a look here, you'll see that in Firefox everything works fine, but in IE it's messed up. I read in the Sliding Doors 2 article on alistapart.com that you need to insert a span tag, or something like that.. but I'm not really sure where to place it, etc. If anyone can explain this to me I would be forever grateful!
Thanks!Source: http://community.livejournal.com/webdesign/1049649.html

server driven favicon?
Date: 01/24/06 Keywords: browser, css, html
I'm working on a project for dws scudder and they have favicon showing in FF 1.5 (yes.. IE is flakey with them)
Here's the weird thing: I just poured over tons of code in html, jhtml, css and js and not once have I found an actual call for a favicon.
What's even more strange is when I loaded the css and js in the browser directly from the site to look at, the favicon showed up.
So, I did some digging and saw that CNN has the same thing going on. I go to CNN.com, look at the code and related items and no where in there is favicon called.
Digging further, I find that according to Wikipedia:
-------------- paste --------------
Note: A file called favicon.ico and located in the document root directory will also be found by some browsers which do not process the link elements, even if it is not linked from anywhere on your site.
-------------- end --------------
So.. if this is the case, does this work for all pages (i.e. the loading of css and js?) or only html formed content that's delivered?
Anyone have a word on this? And should the reliance of favicon.ico in the directory or some other method be allowed in place of an actual call in the ?Source: http://community.livejournal.com/webdesign/1049247.html

<%
mimageurl = "http://www.paceprints.com/contemporary/" & rsSearch("lastname")+"_" & rsSearch("firstname") & "/images/m-" & rsSearch("imagename")
%>
img src=<%= mimageurl %> border="0"

CSS Help
Date: 01/23/06 Keywords: browser, css, html
Hello all. I come to you with yet another question on CSS. I recently read this article about creating tabbed menus with CSS. I'm trying it out, and everything seems to work ok except for the actual tab part. It says in the article/tutorial to use an image for the rounded corners of the tab. I created the images, placed them in the CSS exactly as shown in the article, but they're not showing up on my browser. The link to the layout is here.
This is the CSS used for the tab menu:
#navigation a
{
color: #000;
background: #FB7509 url("images/left-tab.gif") left top no-repeat;
text-decoration: none;
padding-left: 10px
}
#navigation a span
{
background: url("images/right-tab.gif") right top no-repeat;
padding-right: 10px
}
#navigation a, #navigation a span
{
display: block;
float: left
}
/* Commented backslash hack hides rule from IE5-Mac \*/
#navigation a, #navigation a span
{
float: none
}
/* End IE5-Mac hack */
#navigation a:hover
{
color: #fff;
background: #184A82 url("images/left_tab_hover.gif") left top no-repeat;
text-decoration: none;
padding-left: 10px
}
#navigation a:hover span
{
background: url("images/right_tab_hover.gif") right top no-repeat;
padding-right: 10px
}
#navigation
{
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0
}
#navigation li
{
float: left;
display: block;
margin: 0;
padding: 0
}
This is the HTML (without the spaces of course):
< ul id="navigation" >
< li >< a href="index.html" >< span >Home< /span >< /a >< /li >
< li >< a href="/" >< span >Services< /span >< /a >< /li >
< li >< a href="/" >< span >Take a tour< /span >< /a >< /li >
< li >< a href="/" >< span >About us< /span >< /a >< /li >
< li >< a href="/" >< span >Contact us< /span >< /a >< /li >
< /ul >
It's just a dummy layout I'm using to test this out. Would someone mind taking a look? I'm kind of stumped here. Thanks to anyone who feels like helping me out!Source: http://community.livejournal.com/webdesign/1048821.html

Crit please?

Here is the beginning of a website I'm putting together for a Post Apocalyptic LARP.
I'm trying to think of a creative way to arrange/present the gallery... any ideas?
Also: The quote in the top left... I'm thinking of trying to make a different quote appear each time you visit the page... How is this sort of thing achieved? Can it be done in CSS, or will I have to learn something else?Source: http://community.livejournal.com/webdesign/1047979.html

Colored Squares
Date: 01/22/06 Keywords: css, html, web
I'm designing a non-profit website and got inspired by the work of Piet Mondrian. I was curious on what the best way to go about creating something similar to the linked picture. I want to make various sized squares of different colors as the header of my webpage. Some of the squares will be links where the color changes when the mouse hovers over it. I'm looking for a way to do this with HTML and/or CSS. My first thought is a series of one cell tables with different background colors. However, this seems bulky with a lot of repetition. Anyone else have any ideas?

Integrating a php file into a webpage
Date: 01/20/06 Keywords: php, templates, html
I'm looking for tutorials on how to integrate a .php file into a (previous .htm file but now a) .php file. Or a brief explanation if there's such a thing, hehe.
I've been using Dreamweaver and templates for one of my sites and now I want to integrate CuteNews script into it. (Me-background: I know html, but the div tag and I aren't the best of friends. But if that's what I have to do then I won't stop until I win.)
I've been told to use this thing:
include("path/to/show_news.php");
?>
but they never said exactly how I use it..... (I have barely used php before)
This is how my page looks like in DW. And I want my show_news.php to show up in the right editable region.
Oh, and it'a a plain old table on the page, no divs whatsoever.Source: http://community.livejournal.com/webdesign/1046289.html

more frames = more hits?
Date: 01/19/06 Keywords: php
so the new site is up, running, and everyone is happy.
only problem is that, for whatever reason, my boss is saying we're getting (notably) less hits than we used to. like it took a massive dive since the new site just came out.
it may just be a case of "less people looking at the site this week" or whatever, but he feels it might have something to do with using php now.
i think he might be right but for different reasons.
the previous site had a master page with three frames that loaded seperate pages. so, technically, would the old index page give four hits (master page with frames plus the top frame, plus the frame with the menu, plus the frame with the content) to the new index page's one hit?
or do php pages not do whatever when it comes to detecting pageviews.Source: http://community.livejournal.com/webdesign/1045943.html

how do i not use the NOBR tag?
Date: 01/17/06 Keywords: css, web
I am trying to rewrite this fairly simple web site to make it use DIVs instead of tables. The main page is basically about 10 very large images placed one after another, and the user has to scroll to the right to view them all. How would I use CSS to make it so every image is on the same line without using the NOBR tag? should each image be in its own div? do i use float: left?

Language Choice
Date: 01/17/06 Keywords: php, programming, mysql, database, sql, java, postgresql, web, apache
I need some advice in regard to which language to use for developing a dynamic website. My wife and I are thinking about creating a LMAO website, which will allow people to organize various LMAO projects. The website will allow users to register, log in, create projects, join projects, upload pictures, and so on. It's not terribly large project, but still pretty complicated for people who haven't done any web development and little programming in general.
The first problem is deciding upon a language to use. The site will, at least in the beginning, run on our server at home, which is FreeBSD running Apache2 (or anything else we want, to be honest. I'm not giving up FreeBSD, though!). It looks like all major languages in the field, including PERL, Ruby (and Ruby on Rails), Python, and PHP work well with Apache, so that shouldn't be a problem. For the database back-end, we'll be using PostgreSQL or MySQL (if we have to), both of which are widely supported as well.
My wife doesn't have much experience in programming, so for her it will be new experience one way or the other. I have some, but still little. The only language I'm familiar with and can actually write something useful in is Common Lisp. There exists mod_lisp and a couple of web development frameworks, TBNL and UnCommon Web, but the process seems hacky -- from what I can tell -- unless one uses a commercial CL implementations that cost a lot.
I've looked briefly at Python and Ruby, as well as asked for opinions from various groups of people (programmers who prefer Lisp, Ruby, or Python), but it's all still looks like mambo-jumbo to me. The only thing they agree on is that one should refrain from using PHP for anything non-trivial, so I'm inclined to believe that. As far as PERL is concerned, I've always had a distaste for it, so am not all that keen on using it.
Could anyone recommend one of these language, or perhaps another one, that would be suitable for our needs? I've pretty much made up my mind in regards to PHP and PERL, so I'm not looking for a debate about why they're good. I also wish to stay away from Windows-based and Java-based solutions.
