guys, I'm a real beginner. I'd like to get my feet wet by creating a website for the salon I go to. I have a good rapport with the owner.

I'm comfortable enough using DreamHost and Dreamweaver, but what I'd really like to do is skip tables altogether. I'd like to design using pure CSS -- but how does this work with Dreamweaver? do I just get some templates from somewhere (where? free? Macromedia?) and then paste the templates onto the Dreamweaver code view screen? or just skip Dreamweaver altogether? I actually took a class in this, but the teacher rushedthroughitsofast that most of it went over my head.

I know about sites like http://www.csszengarden.com/ but I just don't know the nuts and bolts of turning that concept into my reality.

thanks in advance for any thoughts!

also, what in your opinion would be a reasonable fee to charge to set it up? or, the equivalent in barter? ;) (on top of DreamHost's yearly fee for the site.) let's assume it would be a basic 5- or 6-page deal with photos I would take and upload, and the copy written/edited by me (that's what I do for a living IRL).

Hey everyone, I've started working on my first freelance project. I mentioned it before in a previous post here. I have the homepage almost done. I wanted to post it, and get comments from everyone. Thanks for your time!

I am having a bit of an issue with my webpage. I have images (in the galleries) that are supposed to pop up in a separate, sized window when clicked. It works perfectly in Firefox but something is obviously missing/wrong as I receive an error in IE and Safari.

I swiped the popup code from another page and I know very little about javascript so I have not been able to sort it out yet. Here is one of the pages experiencing this issue: p22.html

I have looked around a bit online and experimented with it but I am still puzzled. I know it must be something obvious but it is apparently over the head of a lowly art-brain person. If you notice any other incredibly stupid mistakes please feel free to point them out.

ok here's my issue. i have a pop up that contains a slideshow, works great. So that it wont get too annoying, when reloading with a differnt slide show i have it set for the same window to be used. Problem is i don't know the correct syntax to make that window be visible again. It just stays hidden right now... here's the page in question. click on different slideshows to see what i mean.
here's what the link looks like...
a href="#" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('text<%=(rsExh.Fields.Item("filename").Value)%>-pr.asp','exhibitionpressrelease','status=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,top=10,left=10,width=500,height=500')"

I have a short question. Is there a way I can create simple columns using CSS? I'm probably thinking of the DIV property.

I'd like to have a naviation "bar" or section on the left hand side of my page with my content on the right side.

If not, then I'll create a table with two columns and one row.

hi, i have a javascript question.
i can't get the code right for this javascript. i want the images to scroll as the "last" or "next" buttons are clicked. I also want to be able to click on the images themselves to pull up a new window with the image enlarged. these arrow buttons are actually .jpgs.

Hi all,

I was hoping y'all might know how to do this: my clients keep asking me for links that when clicked on reveal text on the same page. Is there some hide/display CSS wizardry I can use for this or a nice cross-platform javascript, or will I have to make these sites in Flash?

Thank you to everybody for the suggestions you posted with regard to ideas for the last-minute portfolio revamp. I've got all of my content set up and my pages planned out, now my only problem is the fact that I can't get my page layout to look the way I'd like.

It should look like this:

However, I can't seem to pull it off. Both Firefox and IE are giving me different results and I'm sure I'm missing something small. I'm just not sure what it is. The page itself is located at http://www.debbierussell.ca/v2/portfolio/ and the CSS code is embedded in the page for now. I'll be making it an external stylesheet as soon as I have it working properly.

All help is appreciated. Thanks again!

Hello all. I'm new. this is a background that I'm going to be using for my site. I just have a few questions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• How do you position inline frames to an exact spot? (In my case it's the green areas)
• How do you get rid of the border on an iframe?
• Is it possible to make the background of the iframe transparent?

Thank you.

I'm new here. Please read!

If you go to my site you'll notice I need some SERIOUS help. I don't know how to do a billion things and I'd love to find someone who does forms of animation.

How do you add a music button to play a song on your site?

Can someone help me spoof up my site? I'll so give you my first born! I need your smarts!

******Also do any of you use statcounter.com? For some reason it doesn't work well with my LJ. Do you guys know any free IPS trackers that are really good - that will tell you a lot of detail?

I knew this would come and bite me in the ass...now here it is.

I need to redo my portfolio tonight. There's a job that I'm applying for and the job closes tomorrow. The requirement is a web design portfolio in addition to the resume.

My last portfolio (http://www.debbierussell.ca) was a last-minute hack and slash job that I did to meet portfolio requirements for a school application. I received the letter with the requirements 18 hours before it was due, so it was one heck of a rush job, and one I was never happy with. I've been "in the process of redoing it" (read: I keep telling myself, I really need to get something done on it) ever since, but that's never gone anywhere past a main splash screen (http://www.debbierussell.ca/v2/ - the links don't go anywhere at the moment) which I was never entirely sure I liked. Luckily, the content is only slightly out of date. It won't take long to add newer material. What I'd like though, is suggestions as to how I should go about structuring it. What looks impressive without being overdone or tacky in web design these days? I have my ideas, but I'm looking for things that I might be missing.

So, as of now, I have 36 hours to redo this thing. I know I can do it, but I'm not sure *what* do to make it look simple and clean, but impressive. I'm horrible for coming up with ideas when under pressure.

Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance for the help.

Who uses it rather than plain old notepad, and why? How did you manage to learn it? Don't all the extra gadgets scare you ;)

Reason I ask is because I have noticed that many design jobs require fluent use of Dreamweaver. Wouldn't it make more sense to use someone who can create a site from the ground up, without the use of gadgets?

so, my quest for the perfect gallery continues. my question to you all is this: what gallery applications do you use and what do you think of them? I prefer php and no need for mysql, but I'm open to other options. the only thing I'm adamant about is not using javascript. ;)

The site is here, and no, it hopefully wont spend the rest of it's days on geocities.

Anyway, I'm attempting some to get the idea of some white space, something simple, something... clean, here. Eventually this will be a design site for linkware blog layouts and whatnot.
