When SEO was interfering in your design project making it look ugly?

Have you found the way out and compromise ?

Hello, new here... need some advise. I need a new web host and the only one I can afford is those for free. My current one only allows 15 MB of daily downloads. I only need about 10-20 MB of space for my current website but i need a place that allows more daily downloads, I would prefer no limit. Anyone got any suggestions?

This is prolly a silly question, but I'm a newbie in the slicing department. Know HTML and DW tho'.

I'm working on this very simple banner i Fireworks, and I wanted to add a rollover effect so I sliced it. Was taught it once but I never got it to work 100%. It's now an HTML file and exported to Dreamweaver, looks pretty and all that. My question:

Aren't you suppose to be able to put some content under the table with the image? Every time I try (even in the HTML code) the text ends up behind the image. What am I doing wrong?

Or is it easier to create the whole layout in Fireworks or Photoshop and then slice it? I always mess it up but if it's easier I'll try again.

Thanks a bunch!

I imagine this has been asked before, but what websites do you go to when you need inspiration? I've gotta come up with a new site design and I'm coming up with nothing good. What are your strategies?

I have a hyperlink to download a powerpoint show. I want users to be able to click the link and have the download start automatically. As it is right now, users have to right click it and select "download linked file". How do I do this?

Thanks!

I'm designing a template for a client, and for some odd reason once I added an additional space at the top of the layout for a second adsense ad, the one that was in the "Advertisments" column doesn't work anymore. But when I take the top one away, it works again . . .

Anyone familiar with a problem like this? Adsense is beginning to be the bain of my existence, first I had to search all over to find a fix for the Firefox adsense flicker problem when you have it in a float, and now this.

The url where this is occurring is:

http://triplelproductions.com/demos/leon

Thanks in advance for any help,
Lindsey

EDIT!!!!

I've "solved" the problem. Adsense Conflicts.

Apparently you can't use 728x90 ads with 160x600. I'm going to wait still to hear from google, to see if they respond and write an article about this later, which I'll eventually link to.

Hope this helps someone else.

Does anyone know where I can find a copy of that extension for DW8? Apparently it comes packaged with MX (and if it comes with 8 as well then I can't find it :/). I've also looked on the Macromedia Exchange, but couldn't find it there either.

If not, can someone recommend a free or low cost DHTML menu extension for DW8? I've Googled a few, but can't decide which one to go with.

Thanks in advance!

I'm building a page and plan on using some Asynchronous JavaScript (AJAX without the XML basically). Anywho, the problem is, it just doesn't seem to work at all.

I've slowly worked my way through the code and I can't figure out for the life of me why it's just not working. I've tried using alert() to show my progress through the script, but it won't even show the first alert() which I had put before the function even creates it's first variable. I remove the code and leave only the alert() and it pops up.

function ajaxLauncher()
{
  var args = ajaxLauncher.arguments;
  var httpRequest = (window.ActiveXObject) ? new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") : new XMLHTTPRequest();

  switch (args[0])
  {
    case "begin_exe"
    {
      alert("Working!");
      setContent();
      ajaxLauncher("show_content", "mainContent[0]", "content");
      break;
    }
    case "show_content"
    {
      if (httpRequest)
      {
        httpRequest.onreadystatechange = function()
        {
          if (httpRequest.readyState == 4 && httpRequest.Status == 200)
          {
            container = document.getElementByID(args[2]);
            container.innerHTML = httpRequest.responseText;
          }
        }
        httpRequest.open("GET", args[1], true);
        httpRequest.send(null);
      }
      break;
    }
  }
}

function setContent()
{
  mainContent = new Array();
    mainContent[0] = "index2.html";
}

I'm going to an interview on Monday and they have asked me to bring print-outs of websites I've worked on previously. Has anyone had experience with this? I need some ideas on how to present it.What I'm thinking of doing now is printing out some screenshots and arranging them in a binder.

Any suggestions?

TIA.

I'm feeling stupid like this is something ridiculously easy I should know, but I don't, and Google wasn't very helpful either. So here's my problem:


I need to know exactly which Flash Player version I have installed for both IE and Firefox. The list of installed plugins in Firefox (settings->downloads->plugins) didn't help much, because there's no information as to the actual *version* of the Flash Player.

Also - am I imagining this, or is it absurdly difficult to find the Flash Player 7 (I need this version to test something) for Firefox to download? All the links I found so far are either dead or ultimately lead to the Macromedia site, which tells me they can't find the Player I'm looking for... *argh*

Any help is appreciated :-)


EDIT:
Problem solved. I finally found the Player I need at Macromedia's archive for older Flash Players :-)
why can't they put this link directly on the "download center" page, instead of offering a download that says "version 7" and is actually version 8? *grrr*

ok. i need some advice. i run a website that is currently JUST a forum (phpbb)...and i'm wanting to add more to the site... so i installed joomla (pretty much the same as mambo).

i searched the forums, but couldnt find an easy enough to understand answer on this, so i thought i would see if any of you have experience in doing this:

i guess my "pre-question" is, well... joomla and mambo are almost the same (like how zencart and oscommerce are)... and i'm wondering if i find a bridge for mambo, if i can install it and have it work with joomla?

my major question is, i want to integrate my ALREADY EXISTING phpbb with my NEW joomla (aka so existing user accounts will carry over from the forum to joomla). how would i go about doing this?

my current phpb:
http://www.undergroundchurches.org/forum
my new joomla:
http://www.undergroundchurches.org/main

and example of the two (except this one is using mambo, not joomla) used together:
http://xsisterhoodx.com

notice how the accounts are the same for the forum and the main area, and the "latest forum posts" show up on the main page.

anyone have any ideas?

I am tyring to shoehorn a drop down menu that a client wanted (oh by the way/last min thing) in to a design that has roll overs. I have not found any good (ie less than $40+ if not just free) solutions. I just want to get this done, and I do not really have a budget to go and buy/licence a solution that should just be out in the wild. Do you all have any ideas?

Hi.

How would one go about making a little circle dance from word to word like in old cartoon sing alongs in Flash? I know it's pretty simple, yet I'm stuck.

TIA

EDIT: OK,thanks. I got that part. How do I make a ball look like it's slightly bouncing? :)

Also, if anyone is looking for a great project management tool, I have to say just how happy I am with basecamp. My partner and I used it free for a month and have now signed on with them to keep track of our multiple projects. This isn't spam, I'm just so happy that I've found an easy way to stay organized!

Can anyone recommend a good place to find graphics for use in an HTML editor? I need graphics to act as buttons (for formatting text). I don't really care about the style (like icons, or like the buttons in a word processor... doesn't matter) though if there are corresponding graphics to use to make rollover buttons would be even better. I'm stuck finding what I need on google. I'd be most grateful for linkage. Thanks :)

Don't worry, it's for an internal thing.

How do you make an HTML email?
I mean more than just setting your email program to "Send email as HTML" - but I need to send this stupid email newsletter with links, graphics and a background image (on the table, since I've read that email programs often/usually strip the and tags), and google is inundated with stupid guides to stupid products, and not the actual task.
Don't worry, it's for an internal newsletter, not...really...spam.

I'm using MS Outlook.

just to say it some more:
stupid stupid and stupid...

But thank you.
