Hi Susie: I think I'm in a similar position to you with a website that
will be re-designed soon by the "print" designer. She's great and
really knows her stuff and understands the web somewhat (probably more
than most traditional designers) and I've been thinking of trying to
collect a few urls that might help broaden her (and them) out of the
fixed layout bit into new, standards compliant design.
I've just collected one at this point, perhaps you're familiar with it,
I know a lot of people on this list would be.
http://www.westciv.com/style_master/house/index.html I plan on pointing
out how the background is fixed, the menu bit in the top right (helps
keep the regular menu from being so big and I'm always having to "fight"
dropdowns, too, so helps in that). and I'll point out how it shrinks or
expands to fit the browser.
If this is the sort of thing you're looking for good, maybe you'll get
some more urls (i could use them, too). Either I didn't understand or
just about everyone else was not "on point". ;)
cheers
Donna

Hi there
Where I work (Qld Uni) we work in a team to develop websites, which usually
consist of an instructional designer, a graphic designer, and a web
developer and/or programmer. The graphic designers do the graphic
design/layout, and the web developers/programmers do the programming,
including CSS.
Up till recently our graphic designers have been used to designing for a
table layout producing a Photoshop file that we then cut up. They have
varying degrees of CSS knowledge, but mostly very little, so they¹re not
really aware of what Œgraphic effects¹ can be created using CSS. Lately
they¹ve been creating an ImageReady layout file and associated stylesheet,
which I find completely unusable!! I always have to start again from
scratch.
We¹re having a GD/programmer meeting tomorrow to try and broaden people¹s
knowledge, and work out a few guidelines about the Œrubbery line¹ between
the GD and the Programmer¹s CSS responsibility. Does anyone have any
experience here, or can point to any resources that might assist?
Cheers
