scriptygoddessFor the past few weeks, I've been using CSS for my layouts (at work) and I can say that I think I've officially been converted. While I still struggle with the little nuances (see previous post) – it IS starting to make sense to me. I'm now about to start using CSS in a more […]
Archive for the ‘Lessons learned’ Category
Not sure this is the right category for this – as I STILL don't understand WHY. I should probably add a special category for my CSS issues and name it "Dazed and very very confused" I wanted the background of the page one color – and I wanted the area behind a sidebar and a […]
I'm not sure that "Lessons Learned" is the most appropriate category for this, as all I've really learned from this little exercise is that IE on the Mac SUCKS. 1) When testing changes to a stylesheet on the Mac – I can't just hit refresh and have it load in the new/revised stylesheet. I have […]
(Still on old news for you CSS-pros. I'm wondering why YOU'RE not writing this blog. All the comments have been more helpful than my posts!! LOL!)

Just a note that maybe will save someone else the headache I had yesterday. If you're using Dreamweaver – and create a new HTML page – it automatically sets your doctype like this: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> This caused a problem with a table-based design I had done. Images placed inside […]
Sorry for the placeholder, my plan is to fill in the answers. (If I get the answer wrong, please correct me! As well, feel free to answer any of them in the comments – if you do, I'll move your comment into the body of the post – with credit (and then delete the comment […]

Often times when a script is posted here, the term "full server path" is used. This is a confusing term for many people. In the midst of a script tutorial or instructions, the focus is usually kept to the script at hand, so this term isn't described at depth, but ends up being the cause […]
At my job I need to do most of my web layouts using tables (not the latest fancy shmancy CSS) – yes, I know I'm a dying, hated breed – but blame it on our customers who refuse to download a newer browser, yet still, in some round-about fashion, pay my salary… In any case, […]
