kind of job.

Would appreciate a quick gaze at my new blog site, just to make sure it's 
not burning any retinas on different browsers. If that violet background is 
a pain, I'll change it. This is just a color check.

thanks a lot everyone.

MOU,

Thanks for the prompt and thorough response.   It will take me a while to
fit in your suggestions, though I note your enthusiasm!   Might a good
starting point for my education be a couple of urls where you consider this
is well done and a good advertisement for the technique?

Again many thanks,

Joseph

Hi Joseph
The question you ask is a mighty discussion all to itself! There are so many 
things to say, from beginner stuff all the way to super-advanced, I just 
don't know where to start.

Best do some reading first I think.
Hunt around http://www.alistapart.com for articles on CSS design (but you'll 
need to look at the earlier stuff to get the theory and starting material - 
try "Flexible Layouts with CSS Positioning" 
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flexiblelayouts/ to throw you in at the 
deep end!! Might not mean a lot but the theory might be useful - it's 
probably an intermediate document).

Also there's a great load of stuff on WHY to do it (specifically the 
articles "Better Living Through XHTML" 
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/betterliving/ and "To Hell With Bad 
Browsers" http://www.alistapart.com/articles/tohell/)

Try the CSS intro at http://www.w3schools.com/css/
And some books off the top of my head: Jeffrey Zeldman's "Designing With Web 
Standards", Eric Meyer's "Eric Meyer on CSS" and W3 Schools are advertising 
"Designing WIthout Tables Using CSS" by Dan Shafer.

Just generally Google around I guess for things like "tableless design", 
"css positioning" and "web standards" to see what you can dig up.

Once you start reading you'll (hopefully) see why we always moan about 
table-based design in contemporary web development and want to ditch them 
forever.

I can dig out a ton more stuff once you get going.

[wdvltalk] CSS boxes etc

2004-09-13 Thread Joseph Harris
With Cascade DTP I have just been experimenting with absolute positioning.
My impression is that this forces a very rigid approach to design and
layout.   And I have not felt there is comfortable surfing with the floats I
have viewed.

If I am missing the point how, with the latest css (oft-praised on wdvl
talk), can I achieve the flow and adaptability of tables - which I find a
much more comfortable viewing experience?

Intertwined in this, I suppose, is the question:  just because it can be
done, should it?I hope this is a sensible question;  I have my dunce's
cap ready if not.

Don't try taping it.  That could possibly make the DVD unbalanced and
then mess up your player if it wobbles.

Subject: [wdvltalk] Cracked DVD

Hi all,

A friend bought my son a 2 disc set of Toy Story off eBay.  The problem
is that disc 2 is cracked.  It is still playable but if you lift it out
the wrong way the whole thing will crack.  Is there a way of repairing
it?  What about tape/sticker something?  I guess it would be illegal to
copy it onto my computer and then burn another cd . . . 

TIA,
Riva
