The more web projects that I do, the more I realize that I'm not nearly as fast at trying to design how a website or web application will look and feel as I am getting the functional areas up and running. My question is, what are the best locations and/or free website templates that can be used by companies royalty free? I know that ...
What is the best practice/methodology for creating a web page that is browser compatible and purely in CSS, except for of course the content. I notice that big name websites like yahoo.com use CSS exclusively for layout, which renders the content pretty well in hand held devices. Being that I have an opportunity to redesign the external ...
Duplicate: What should a developer know before building a public web site? I have been asked to make a website for a county fair. I used to make websites (they all sucked). I want to make this one using HTML, JQuery, and any other tools you guys recommend. I'm still a beginner when it comes to websites though, for example I didn'...
I'm a programmer (hobbyist, but looking to make it a career) by nature so when I was asked to design a website I felt a little out of place (most of my applications don't have pretty UI's, they just work because I'm the only one using them). I have been looking into how I could design my website and started wondering how you guys decide....
Howdy, my website http://tweetMP.org.au uses SIFR to render the flash font h2 headings. If you compare the site between Firefox and IE7/8 you'll notice the headings are noticably smaller in IE (7 and 8 only - IE6 looks fine). Adjusting the font-size on my ie(7 and 8 specific css) does nothing. Any ideas why this is the case? -V ...
I have a menu bar and I want to create a div for each menu item so that they are separately horizontally by 5px. How do I do that? It seems that by simply wrapping an item around a div, it automatically causes each menu item to go on a new line. ...
I want to "centerize" the text and contents of my webpage. Now I don't want to align the text to center, I still want a left alignment but I want significant margins on the left and right so that everything looks relatively center-ish. Can you show me the HTML/CSS to achieve this? THanks. ...
Brand new to web design, using python. Got Apache up and running, test python script working in cgi-bin directory. Get valid results when I type in the URL explicitly: ".../cgi-bin/showenv.py" But I don't want the URL to look that way. Here at stackoverflow, for example, the URLs that display in my address bar never have the messy d...
Hello, Where do I find a good CSS editor that can help me use all the options of CSS? I don't know all the CSS tags byheart. I need the software to show me the options to choose from while creating the CSS. Thanks ...
I have a major headache trying to get an image that is contained within a div to appear to float outside of its containing element. While I'm pretty sure this just isn't possible, I want to be sure I've exhausted all avenues before telling designer and client that they're just not going to get it to look exactly as outlined in the desig...
How do I line up textfields so they look more neat? At the moment I've got: <div id="content"> <h2>Change password</h2> <% form_tag({:action => "change_password"}, :method => "post") do %> <%= @error %> <div class="form_row"> <label for="current_password">Current password:</label> <%= password_field_tag 'curre...
I have a friend who is a graphic and web designer and he has been involved in programming in some projects, he has learned himself some ActionScript and his logic is good, also he has been in touch with PHP and he's not so bad (he has no formal programming training). We both live in Mexico and here the salary of a graphic or web designe...
How do I change my textfields so they look more like the Twitter login textfields or even the Title textfield for Stackoverflow when you post a new question. I currently just use: <%= text_field_tag 'name', @name, :size => 30 %> ...
Putting this at the top of your CSS file: * { margin: 0; padding: 0; } hack? or valid CSS? What does it do? and how portable to different browsers/versions? ...
I need to create some buttons for a web app. However, I have no graphics/Photoshop skills at all. Is there a website/software out there that I can simply enter the text for my button and it will spit out a graphical image with those words on top? I don't mind avoiding graphics altogether, but the links must look like a button. e.g. a b...
In my web app I use the following CSS to provide notices/error messages: #notice { border: 1px solid green; padding: 1em; margin: 1em; margin-bottom: 2em; background-color: lightgreen; font: bold sans-serif; color: darkgreen } But when a notice isn't required, I want to have white space equal to the amount of spac...
With this little bit of CSS, my form buttons now look flattened (2D) and I quite like the look: input { border: 1px solid #999; } However, for file fields (select file to upload), the button is still 3D. And then the border goes all around that button and the text next to it. I tried fixing this problem by renaming input to .input,...
In my web app I'd like to display poll results with colored bars with length proportional to the percentage of votes. How can I achieve this with HTML/CSS? ...
I actually have right now two questions: 1) What font faces are preferred for a website? Right now I really like 'Segoe UI', but it's only available on newest Windows systems like Vista and 2008 Server. So I have defined a sequence: font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; I do not really like the look of all of...
