[WSG] Carousel effect
Hi I was wondering if anyone could point me to the JavaScript that achieves the carousel effect as seen on download.com http://www.download.com/ home page. I have looked at the source but with my limited knowledge of JS I haven't been able to work it out. Any help is appreciated. It seems like a neat effect.

[WSG] tabbed content within content pages
Hi I have been seeing this thing quite a bit lately, where in one of the content columns there are tabs - check out this site: http://www.miavanloon.be/huifkartochten/essen/ I was wondering if there was some special trick they were using like an I-frame so that they wouldn't have to have three versions of the same page (not that I could see in the source anyway) - so that the content on the left stayed the same for each of the different tabs that was clicked on the right. I can see that this could be very useful for some things and would like to know how it is done. Any ideas?

Yep this is nice design, however each of the tabs has different content, unlike the other site I mentioned http://www.miavanloon.be/huifkartochten/essen/ which has tabbed content actually within the page.

Re: [WSG] Convert uppercase file names to lower case
Lovely, thanks - I will definitely keep this handy.
Now is there any way of making sure all the href urls in the site are in
lower case too? I use DW (please don't cringe) and normally when you make
a change it updates all the links. Some of the links are mixed case that
is why I need to do this as well.

I usually use perl to solve such problems. Place the following script in
a directory and run it; all of the filenames in that directory will be
converted to lowercase. You may need to change the path to perl in the
first line, depending on where perl is on your server.
Later,
George
#!/usr/bin/perl
#makelc
#make lowercase all filenames in the current directory
use warnings;
opendir DIR, ./;
while(defined($file=readdir DIR)){
next if $file=~/^\.\.?$/;
$newfile=lc$file;
rename$file,$newfile;
}

[WSG] formatting the a tag
Hi Can anyone tell me why when using classes sometimes I can style the a by itself (e.g. .myclass a) and other times this doesn't work and I have to style a:link (i.e. .myclass a:link) Any pointers would be appreciated.

[WSG] question about multiple stylesheets
Hi everyone Could someone please enlighten me. I have a situation where I have 5 style sheets imported by a main style sheet (it was getting way too complicated so I decided to split of specific areas into their own stylesheet) In my main style sheet I have set my font in the body tag, e.g. 85% font family etc. My question is this - do the other style sheets set their fonts against this body tag so I can say another font is relative to that one or do I have to set it again? E.g. if I wanted sidebar text to be smaller in the stylesheet that sets the sidebar, would I say that the sidebar is say .9 ems and it would be .9ems of the 85% that is set in the body tag in the main stylesheet, or would it be independent of that and be .9ems of whatever the browser is set at. Thanks for your help.

[WSG] 4 column css template
Hi everyone Does anyone know where I can find a decent 4 column css template to use? The glish.com fluid template really doesn't work for the project I am working on, ideally a 4 column template that is fixed and centred as in http://www.shockmedia.com.au/ - i.e. one that will resize properly to 800x600 resolution.

[WSG] Persistent page indicator (page id) when you have two lists of navigation
Hi
I am trying to set up a page indicator in the sidebar navigation of this
template using descendant selectors to indicate the current page but it
doesn't seem to work if I use the following syntax.
I have given each page a body id and each list item in DIV sidebar an id as
well but it breaks when I use the following: I will be creating different
templates for the two areas Staff and Students so am not concerned about
that list.
body#studenthome li#studenthome a, body#studentsaccess li#access a{
border-right: 12px solid #000;
{
Work in progress here:
http://learnline.cdu.edu.au/wip/ll/students/students.html
Another question - I would prefer to put the banner graphic into the DIV as
a background but I need to hot link it to the CDU home page. Is there any
way of doing this in CSS?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
***

[WSG] box model hack question
Hi I'm getting a little confused with when to use the following hack: width:760px; \width:770px; w\idth:760px Is it something that should be used on every container/wrapper? What happens if I don't use it? I've seen some CSS on sites that use it everwhere and then others that don't...

[WSG] Form fields in navbar causing IE to expand size of bar
Hi Could someone please help me with this. I'm trying to make a standards based site for Teaching Evaluation using the current CDU requirements of banner and global nav (these can be seen here: http://www.cdu.edu.au/visiting/). However, putting in the form field into my global nav div cause the brown bar (especially in IE) to become quite wide and not look right. I do recall reading somewhere some time ago that the form tag causes some issues with IE. Any ideas as to what would be the best way to approach this? The work in progress is here: http://learnline.cdu.edu.au/wip/te/test.html It almost works in Firefox but not quite. Note the form itself is not working as it needs to be moved to another server. At this point I am just concerned with the layout. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [WSG] Form fields in navbar causing IE to expand size of bar
Thanks Nick Probably the best solution would be to take it out of the globalnav bar all together and put it somewhere else as I don't know how I can stop it from wrapping. Thanks for sending through the screenshots and even though Lotus Notes doesn't tell me what browsers they are from, I can take a reasonable guess.

I do recall reading somewhere some time ago that the form tag causes some issues with IE. Helen, it's not so much the form tag as the various form elements that you use within it. The visual display of form elements like buttons, dropdown menus, text fields etc is generated by the operating system, not the browser, and as such are notoriously difficult to incorporate into tight layouts. I see that you have styled the elements with CSS, but the support for that styling is patchy across browsers - especially as regards size (of text fields). I've sent you some screenshots of your navbar offlist to show differences in the way the elements render across browsers. Note some browsers don't render the CSS styling for from elements at all... I notice that if the browser is narrower than about 800px, the form elements wrap below the nav links - which is not a good look. It's a good idea to design your layout to allow for the different looks and sizes that different OSs will give you. HTH Nick ___ Omnivision.

[WSG] Why do web developers user Firefox?
Hi I'm putting together a list of web development tools and am wondering about the following: Why is the Firefox browser used by Web Developers? What does it have that makes it a good tool? - over other browsers? Why not Opera? Any ideas would be appreciated.
