Re: [css-d] Images in CSS

2011-11-07 Thread Michael Fokken
First, welcome to web programming! Once you get a hang of it, it's a
lot of fun. (You might want to buy a few bottles of aspirin first,
though.) :)

Learn about CSS before you start:
http://whatiscss.michaelfokken.com/ - learn from what I've learned
http://imagecss.com/ - great for help manipulating images
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_howto.asp - learn how to add css

You have started in a great place and it's great that you are willing
to ask questions. (Personally, though, I think when I was trying to
learn to build websites in Dreamweaver, it held me back on learning
how to properly do things. I had to do some unlearning.)

Sincerely,
Michael Fokken

 where to place it. Is there a way  I can freely move the image around? Place 
 it inside of text, or underneath text? Would that be in the background?

Re: [css-d] Banners

I just thought that people got the code from Adsense with Google or
ClickBank, etc. That they didn't create the ad, but that the company
actually doing the advertisements did.

Do you mean like headers? Or do you mean like banners for
advertisements? Or other?

Re: [css-d] Navigation

2011-10-17 Thread Michael Fokken
I'm not sure where the points are coming in. But if you mean at some
places the css shows up as margin: 0pt; I think either firefox added
that or your original css file had it.

I never use points. I use px for sizing pages, margins, and padding. I
use 'em' for font-sizes, that way I can declare the font-size in the
body. Then if I want I can change the font size for everything by just
changing it in the body and it keeps the same ratio of all the text
(not sure if this is a good practice, just what I do).

 Thanks michael that was very useful - one question, why do you use pt? I
 always get in trouble when I use the pt value as it is for print I thought

Re: [css-d] text jumped down (w/url)

2011-10-17 Thread Michael Fokken
Kimi,
1. Your webpage is in a layout using tables. (This isn't the most
desirable way to layout a website, usually tables are used to show
data information.)

When I think of a website layout, I usually try to think of an Excel
sheet. You know how when you change the height of one cell, it changes
the height of the entire row?

This is what's happening with your text. The text in the far column,
News and Events, is in the same row as the images. The text
explaining the images is in the next row. The News and Events text
is making the height of the entire row taller. This moves the
explanation of the images farther down.

So to fix this, just move the information explaining the images into
the same td as the images.

2. You may have to look on your server where all the files for the
website are stored. It may be in a different place, may have been
deleted, or never existed before.

Side Note: I noticed that the hover image for Corporate Mails was
not showing up.

Good luck with the site!

Sincerely,
Michael Fokken

 Hi People,

 1   I don't see what's pushing text down below corresponding navigation
 pictures on bottom of this page http://is.gd/6NBQaD. I added the News and
 Events column to the right with a list inside it. How can I get the type in
 each column to drop in just below the pictures like it should do?

 2   Do you know where the master.css file is located?

 Kimi

Re: [css-d] Navigation

2011-10-15 Thread Michael Fokken
I left all the tags in the css. I was only trying to keep the current
css for your menu. I did take out things that will affect submenus.

But there is an amazing tool that I use in Firefox, called Firebug.
It's a web developer tool that you can view and edit the css live to
see changes. (there are things similar in Chrome and IE - IE's is not
great)

Hope this helps.
