    Gradient Margin Like This Website

    @etangins: Your second question shows you're an absolute beginner, because there is no way for me to know where to put the code without having your code and without a link to your site. I would suggest to do the beginner's courses HTML and CSS at W3Schools. It's no use trying to create a site...

    Gradient Margin Like This Website

    Here you go: element-name { background: linear-gradient(top, #ffffff, #434343); background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #ffffff, #434343); background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #ffffff, #434343); background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #ffffff, #434343); background...

    Notepad++

    You mean: does WeBuilder run on a Mac? I don't know, but if you ask the makers, I'm sure they will respond within a business day.

    Notepad++

    Uh, switch to Code mode? Although I like WeBuilder (code editor with preview) much better than Dreamweaver. For its preview rendering, WeBuilder loads the IE en Chrome engines, which makes the preview much more reliable than the Dreamweaver preview (used to be). Further, WeBuilder comes with a...

    TUTORIAL: CSS-Only Dropdown Menu

    If I click Portfolio on Firefox or Chrome on Android, the submenu opens, but at the same time the page works.html. Which is not surprising, because that is the content of the href of Portfolio. For a cross-browser two-level menu that works on all platforms and devices, see this tutorial.

    Browser Testing

    In my experience, still having two XP machines with real and updated IE7 and IE8, there is no substitute for that. I have tried all other methods, but frequently they give false positive or negative results regarding aberrant rendering.

    Stylesheet order for Responsive site.

    The most webmaster friendly, with also the best results, is to simply have javascript determine which style sheet should be loaded. Like this: <script type="text/javascript"> var scrW = screen.width var styleSheet if (scrW <= 480) styleSheet = 'mobile'; else if ((scrW >= 481) && (scrW <=...

    display issue in internet explorer

    I am seeing it only in IE7. And if I'm not mistaking, IE7 requires to have L and R floated elements to be consecutive in the code, and the to-go-in-between element to come after that. So it should be: <input style="float:left"> <input style="float:right"> <span>Copyright stuff</span> If...

    Does IE10, too, have this IE9 bug?

    I discovered a most peculiar behavior by IE9. Try this code: <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <title>Demo IE9 border-radius bug</title> <meta charset="windows-1252" /> <style> html, body { margin: 0; padding: 0; } #main-container { position: relative; width: 500px...

    Web Design Tips

    The photos are awesome! But I would move the menu bar up, to the top. I'm viewing your site on a 1280 x 800 screen and only see photos when I land on your index page. It is as if I landed on a site under construction because there is no header. I have to scroll down for that, and I find that...

    How to host a website by myself for the first time.

    In Nigeria, hosting will probably be much more expensive, relatively speaking. But technically speaking, there is a *whole* lot involved. Apart from the matters others have already described, a hosting computer must be online 24/7/365, via a broadband connection. Compared to those costs, the...

    lazy or what?

    Fully agree. I find it annoying that so many beginners ask for help here during surgery while they haven't even gone through the first year of med school, if you now what I mean. (It's not busy here, but otherwise I would suggest to create a separate forum for WordPress and Joomla/CMS...

    Learning web design

    Stupid me, I missed the link over the code block, but thanks anyway. That cloneNode function really works miracles. I searched some more with that term included, and came across a script that is suited for use with more than one iframe: <script> (function(run){ for (i=0;i<frames.length...

    Learning web design

    Phreaddee, you're my savior!!! I have spent so many hours searching the web, asking questions about and testing the setAttribute option, you don't wanna know. But I just couldn't get IE7/8 to respond to setAttribute("frameBorder", "0") (which is the correct syntax). But that script works! Where...

    Learning web design

    Phreaddee, 'Seamless' is not supported by IE7/8 (not sure about 9), and border:0 has no effect on iframes in those browsers. Furthermore, the only HTML that validates if you have 4.01 Frameset is a traditional frameset. <body></body> does not even validate. So you are forced to use 4(.01)...
