    Compress PNGs

    I have a PNG image on my site and I intend to add a few more. Each has transparent reflections at the top and bottom. The image size is about 520KB. I really need to bring that down. I tried Pngcrush, but even with the brute force compression it only reduced it to 499KB. Is there any...

    Please help meeee

    Try adding the following code to the top of your CSS file: * { margin: 0; padding: 0; } Generally that should help to avoid any discrepancies between different browsers concerning layout.

    Forms - labels inside fields

    Nevermind, I'm not going down that road anymore. What I have now is a much more complicated situation. I was looking at a bunch of different form tutorials, and naturally I liked the style of one and the workings of another. So now I'm faced with finding all the little discrepancies...

    Forms - labels inside fields

    I have a form all written out with labels written inside the fields. This may not be the best practice, but I'd like to learn it anyway. I have a script that clears the field when the user clicks in the field and then repopulates it with the label if they click elsewhere without entering...

    Rotating Flash Header App

    You could try a free program such as this one, although I'm not sure how customizable it is. This site also offers some nice free Flash apps: http://www.flshow.net/index.php

    Black glass reflection

    With no help from this spam post above, I figured out the answer is a layer mask.

    Need constructive feedback & advices on layout

    The first thing you should do is define a page width and stick with it. I would try to make the site no larger than the grey area (roughly 850px). Those two columns on either side of the main area don't fit with the site. If you compact your browser, everything becomes too congested. Also...

    Nav bars - tables vs lists

    Is there any advantage to using lists over tables (or vice-versa) when designing a nav bar? I typically just use tables, although I have used lists for drop down menus. Are lists just simpler to use because they don't have all those things like padding and spacing to worry about? Also...

    text/jpg problem in dreamweaver

    Just create your background images (without text) and then apply them as the backgrounds for the respective table cells or divisions. Then simply put your markup (<p>, <span>, <div>, etc.) in those elements.

    Thanks. I think you would have had quite a bit more to say had I not updated it.

    Black glass reflection

    I'm sure you're all familiar with the fancy "glass reflection" text effect that many people use, but I have a particular snag with it. If I know the background colour, it's simple to make the reflective text gradient into that colour, but what if I want to make it adaptive (ie. transparent)...

    Need quick review

    http://www.rggwebdesigns.com As I was designing this website, I grew used to the layout. I hadn't planned how I was going to set it out, but I ended up just freestyling in Photoshop and came out with some graphics which became the basis for the site. However, I'm concerned that the layout may...

    changing header in .css

    I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but try putting single quotes (') around the image filepath. ie. background-image: url('images/header2.jpg');

    Working with PHP files (not exactly PHP related)

    Yeah I guess so. I can just include the tags while I'm editing and remove them when I save the page.

    Working with PHP files (not exactly PHP related)

    My editor supports php fine, it's just that since all the <head> tags, such as links to css files, are not present on the main pages when I'm editing them, so they do not look normal.
