    Should i even consider IE before publishing? It destroys my whole design!

    I think you misunderstood me.... use the rounded borders in all the major browsers besides IE and then just make sure it looks okay in IE. You can still use the rounded borders and the people using IE will be none the wiser. They won't miss it because they won't know it was supposed to be...

    everytime i leave notes in css it overrides my <body> background color. Why?

    I'm confused are you being sarcastic? Although his comments are a little useless, it's perfectly fine to put comments inside the selectors if that's what you want to do. Especially if it's talking about one specific thing inside the selector?

    Should i even consider IE before publishing? It destroys my whole design!

    Personally I'd just make sure the site "works" in IE and not try to give it the bells and whistles like you would in all the other browsers. As long as the content is laid out in a way that makes sense it won't matter if it doesn't have rounded corners or something special like that.

    My first website

    I learned html and css basics from w3schools. After getting the basic basic basics from there I just started googling specific things that I needed to know. When I wanted to figure out how to make a 2 or 3 column layout I googled it and found articles about divs and things like that. The link I...

    My first website

    I would suggest looking into Nettuts+. They have one of the best basics tutorials out there. I don't want to offend you or anything but both of the ones you talked about (pagetutor.com and the building-a-web-site) look really old and outdated. I'd hate for you to learn antiquated html and put...

    My first website

    Nobody really uses notepad. I don't think there are any serious web designers that don't use software with some kind of tag completion and/or code assist. They just cut down on the time it takes to code. I'm interested to know what tutorials you're learning from too. If you don't mind sharing...

    My first website

    Incorrect. I don't know where you read that but check when what you're reading was written. This is 2012 and if you want styles you must use CSS. I sincerely hope you're not using tables for your layout. Make sure any tutorial you're reading was written in the past couple years or so. As for...

    Does GIMP or Paint.Net use slice tool and output css like Photoshop can?

    I don't think either of those programs have that functionality because the developers of GIMP (at least) have a little bit of sense. Those are image manipulation software and not web design software. If you want design websites then you need to write the code for it, not use sliced images.

    Aptana studio anyone?

    I don't know about docs but a nice thing to add is zen coding. Great plugin that I use all the time.

    Aptana studio anyone?

    Aptana Studio is what I've always used. I love it. It's much better as the standalone than the eclipse plugin. There are a few bugs (as with any software). I've had some trouble with the code assist popping up when I didn't need it but their support is really good and most of the trouble I've...

    Comments in web pages

    Are you taking these comments from pages that you own? If so why not just write them all with the same format??? If you don't own any of these pages and you're trying to take comments from them I don't know how legal (or more importantly how ethical) that is and I don't really know how to help...

    The best layout method?

    Personally I use alot of divs with id's and/or classes depending on whether that style is applied to multiple divs or not. I don't think this is the most recommended method though. If you're just starting out you should try to get into the habit of using more html5 elements and not wrap...

    Best place ot learn CSS?

    As you learn more and become more comfortable with CSS it'll begin to be easier to see what they've done. I'd suggest getting to a point where you feel comfortable enough that you think you could put out a design you're really happy with before you try to learn too much from looking at page...

    in what cases would you use relative positioning

    relative position allows you to position that elements child elements relative to that one. For instance: <style> #header { position: relative; } .ribbon { position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; } </style> <div id="header"> <img class="ribbon" src="images/ribbon.png"...

    CSS Tricks is a really good site. It has a reference guide (not completed yet but getting there) and alot of video tutorials and articles to help you along the way.

    Alternative to ReCaptcha

    Some sites I've seen use simple questions instead of captcha. Like "What is 2+5?" and they have a list of 10 or so really simple questions like that which they rotate through. Personally I hate Captcha very much because I can never seem to read them.

    Am I wrong for feeling this way?

    Personally I think you're overreacting a bit. As long as you get paid I don't see the problem with collaborating. Maybe it's a bit insulting if you feel like she doesn't like your design work but if she doesn't like it then she doesn't. I'd go talk to her and ask why she feels the need for...

    CSS Sprites into HTML code

    I wouldn't have any problems with you adding me.Click the little aim dude under my name. 1. I agree with Phreaddee about the sprites. I don't use them too often. I've done a couple buttons, arrows for navigation, little detail things that I can slap together and seem to make sense together. I...
