    Absolute positioning

    How would you go about testing it? Trying out multiple browsers and then resizing the browser bigger and smaller is the only thing i can think of. Are there other ways? UPDATE: I've been testing it in safari so far and I just tried it in chrome and firefox... Chrome looks fine but firefox the...

    Absolute positioning

    Typically I use absolute positioning extremely sparingly. Literally ONLY when I absolutely need to do it. However, for this design I'm playing with is a site that is written on a piece of paper. I have a handwriting font that I like and I'm playing with line-heights and font-sizes to get...

    Welcome, criticize my site!!!

    In my opinion you should spend time learning HTML5 and getting away from tables first. Then probably some core javascript and Jquery.

    First Site is finally active!

    Thanks for pointing out those gifs. I "optimized" those too long ago and have no idea what I was thinking. I'll also go back and look at the margin issue. Thanks Phreaddee :D btw it does look much better without the text-indent. Not sure what I was thinking there either :) Thanks a lot

    First Site is finally active!

    No I meant.... that site only uses one font... in the css I have body {font-family: (a few different choices);} so I don't understand what he's saying about having different fonts lol

    First Site is finally active!

    Really? It should all be one font? I'll take a look at that.

    That makes sense

    First Site is finally active!

    Well I've finally put my first real site online. It's a site for a friend who doesn't want to pay so it's hosted through a free hosting site (unfortunate I know) and she hasn't finished putting content in. There's nothing on the artwork page and there's only filler content on the philosophy page...

    Stop refreshing

    It's hard to know what you want with so little info: 1)Do you want the page to never refresh? 2)Is it refreshing at a time it shouldn't be refreshing? 3)Is it taking too long to refresh? If you want help we need more information about the problem...

    Site builder?

    EXACTLY! There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a beginner and having "dumb" questions. We've all been there and we've all had them (hell I still have them... and often). We are trying to push people who want to be web designers to learn how to design websites. If you're only using WYSIWYG...

    Site builder?

    You are missing the point of the argument. The argument isn't one software vs the other. I think everyone will agree that any text-editor will work just fine. The op was asking about a program where he drags images into the place he wants them and the program spits out code for him. This doesn't...

    Alignment with float

    I like xhtml over html4 because it's more strict. That being said it doesn't really have a future, html5 is the future.

    Site builder?

    I don't really understand your argument here... Nobody has to drop money on a website? I'm a web designer (a beginner one sure but all the same) and I have spent exactly $0.00 on making websites. There are plenty of free programs for writing code and you can even use notepad or textedit and...

    Best software?

    Dreamweaver is going to be your best WYSIWYG editor and it's cross-platform compatible. If money is an issue then check out Blue Griffen. In all honesty though you should look into learning to write the code yourself... It's just the best way to do it.

    Site builder?

    it matters what you use because using drag-n-drop software to build a website puts out bad code and bad code breaks. You end up with sites that don't work right on all browsers. As web designers it is our responsibility to design good sites that live up to web standards so we can populate the...

    403 Forbidden Page

    Well apparently the file that said "put web files here" isn't where I really should have put the files. I reuploaded the files to a different folder and now the site loads just fine. (Although my wp-admin page has absolutely zero styles.... Something with the .htaccess file... dunno what yet)...

    403 Forbidden Page

    Not sure how to do that on the host.... I've never actually put a site online before.... well nothing bigger than a couple files.... When I pushed them through my ftp program (cyberduck) it was saying that it was updating file permissions to 777 so nobody should be forbidden I would think...

    403 Forbidden Page

    Well I finished my friend's website that I had questions about earlier. Now I'm trying to upload it. I get free hosting and get a mysql database setup on it. Get everything ready, ftp a clean install of wordpress and when that finishes I go to the page to setup the site. Except when I go there I...

    Strange wordpress theme issue

    Interesting. As long as it's not an issue with my code I'm alright. I don't think it's something that will be reproduced a lot it was just bothering me a bit. Thanks Phreaddee

    Strange wordpress theme issue

    So I'm working on my first wordpress theme. It's for a friend of mine and it's a pretty simple theme for an artist portfolio. Anyways I'm having a weird problem and I'm sure it's coming from the css somewhere I just haven't found it yet. I have a footer with a login link so that when the site...
