Because you're making a website that's based off images and images are inherently inflexible. Across different browsers, different operating systems, and different browser sizes the website will not be consistant. There are good tutorials online, this one is my favorite. It is long so you'll...

in your .sprites class in the first block of CSS you should have... .sprites { background-image: url("http://www.webdesignforum.com/images/world.png"); } Now I know you didn't want this lecture but I feel obliged to say this. Slicing PSD's and exporting them is a really bad way to make...

I'm not quite sure HOW but I imagine it could be done. Worst comes to worse could you make a gif? Not quite sure someone else will have to pick this one up.

You don't want to use flash in a website. I'm sure that could all be done with jquery. Not sure how because I'm not as much of a jquery guru as I'd like to be but I'm sure it can be done.

Well a span is supposed to be used for inline elements. Typically it's not used that often. Anything that defines a logical "block" and doesn't make more sense for newer html5 elements should use a div. Personally I find myself using divs quite a bit more than spans. The only time I really use a...

no no no no no. Whatever you do OP don't do this! This can easily be done with javascript (read jquery) and it should be done with javascript. Flash is a powerful tool but it's not made for web design!

Alright then :) I think I need to change up my approach a bit then. Thanks guys

Do you think it would be worthwhile to go with something as big as wordpress? Seems like it doesn't need that much.

This will be a two part question. First, besides being easier to update, are there any advantages to using a CMS for a website that won't be making alot of posts? Second... I have a meeting with a client on Thursday to discuss this website. This is actually the second website I've done...

What ronald said... although to add a little bit about the id vs class issue. There's nothing wrong with using class for something that's only used once but id can ONLY be used to identify one thing, whereas class can target multiple elements at once.

Yeah for some reason they're using flash for something that could easily be done with javascript :/ fail... Anywho to answer the question try this.

EDIT: I lied...

Honestly... those effects are crazy annoying to me. I imagine they could be achieved with some creative javascript though.

Yes that's flash and no you don't want that.

So my dad is a huge sports fan and has a birthday coming up soon. I want to make a little webpage for him that compiles stats from all his favorite teams. Is there any kind of API that will let me pull stats? From what I've googled it looks like the only way is to pay quite a bit of money...

So here's what my jquery looks like right now. Does this look like something I shouldn't be doing for some reason? // Set up navigation item widths var nav_items = $("#top-nav").children().length; setNavItemWidth(nav_items); function setNavItemWidth(num) { var w = 960 / num; $("#top-nav >...

I'd use php to check for a certain session id on the password protected page... if they don't have that session id then you send them to the password page. They input the password, if it's correct, then you create the necessary session and redirect them back to the page they were trying to get...

Yeah I realize that now :P thanks Right now I am doing it with jquery and setting up a fallback in case they don't have javascript. I guess that's just how I'm going to have to do it.

Dur... The problem is I won't know HOW MANY items there will be since this is wordpress and they can add as many as they want so the width won't be determined until they make the menu. I know how to target the li's. Thanks though.

I have a horizontal navigation bar in a wordpress template that I'm working on right now. I want the list to stretch the full 960px of the container by defining a specific width for each list item. I can do this pretty easily if I know how many items are going to be in the list, but since this...
