    I'll give $2.50 in paypal to the first person to Fix this IE compatibilty issue

    Hi there, So I'm working on a site, and it works fine in all browsers except for IE (of course, right?). For some reason, IE has a ton of white space below my footer, and I need to get rid of that. The footer, as in other browsers, should be the very bottom of the page. Here is the link...

    Flash CS3 help

    And you should also be using MC's instead of buttons. Movie Clips posses all the properties of buttons and more. So when you convert to as3, your code should be as follows: myButton.buttonMode = true; myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, go_to_site); function...

    The screen resolution dilemma

    Choosing a resolution is a bitch. Though 1280 X 1024 is the most widely used, we should consider that there are so many people that just buy little notebooks that they use for business with incredibly small monitors. vdsmedia is SO right about the height issue. -Lou

    Photoshop to css. I'm trying to position my images with css

    In Dreamweaver, there is a sort of cheap and nasty way to generate the CSS for you, though I don't actually recommend it: 1. After slicing up your document, click 'File', and choose 'Save for Web and Devices...' 2. Click 'Save in the Dialog box that appears. 3. In Format, choose HTML and...

    Website pricing

    How long did it take you? What do you think your work is worth? Also, prices can vary a lot depending on where you live. I usually would charge $50 per hour what what you were doing; but it all depends on how much YOU think it's worth. Your friend will likely agree. -Lou

    Hosting Advice

    The cheapest would be still images of the site, but the client may not like that. If you are looking for a good hosting service, I would HIGHLY recommend Host Gator. You get unlimited diskspace, unlimited bandwidth, and a shared SSL certificate for $4.95 per month. I usually keep my...

    What setting do you like to work in?

    You're from Yonkers too? What part? I'm right near Nathan's on Central Ave. It's no surprise to me that most people agree. What sucks the most is client meetings, because they are always completely useless! When clients hear about me and call me, 60% of them want to meet me "face to face." I...

    W3C suggestion process

    Maybe we should make up a thread, where we all post limitations of certain software or code. This can maybe turn into a blog? I have a billion suggestions for DW and Flash. All in all, I bet 60% of our posts just make IE look bad lol. Just an idea, -Lou

    What setting do you like to work in?

    For some reason I just don't like working in an office setting. It never provided me with the sense of relaxation needed to start and finish project-oriented work. I prefer working while laying on my couch at home, glasses of wine, light food to keep me going, and the TV on in the...

    what kind of link menu is used on this site?

    I second anna on this. Your post can be translated as "PixelPusher just answered your question." It may as well have been "You are on a website." and lol at claiming you are a regular. I did actually laugh when I looked over at "Posts: 7" under your Join Date, which was last month. Sorry if...

    Newb: how to integrate sign up feature and progress bar

    If you have no knowledge of css, php or I'd presume MySQL, then you can either learn them from (http://www.w3schools.com/) or you can just learn Joomla, in which case you wouldn't need to learn any of those things -- just Joomla. -Lou

    [layout check]

    Well I would try adjusting the colors. The orange next to the black just looks off. I'd also adjust the kerning and line height of the text. Do you have a live preview for us to see? Also, I think this should be in the "Website Reviews" section. -Lou

    How to frame forward image link (country flag) for translating website

    Hello and welcome to the forum! I've always referred to this as cloaking, but here's what I would do: <frameset rows="100%"> <frame src="http://www.whatever.com/"> </frameset> <noframes> <body><a href="http://www.whatever.com/"><img src="yourimage.jpg" /></a></body> </noframes>
