    Overlay gradients

    Is Flash an option? Also, what about placing an image over the div (the image being within a div itself) that uses a gradient for opacity? What I mean by that is, an image with a center opacity at 0, and the edge opacity at 100.

    css and flash?

    Ok. First I'll give advice for the layers. I'll post more tomorrow about the image-changing background (a bit drunk right now). To use layers with html, you just need to use the z-index property. #container { margin:0 auto; position:relative; text-align:left; clear:left; z-index: 1...

    Have you tried the advice on the huddletogether.com site? It says: "Remove the default margin and padding from the body tag. Add body{ margin: 0; padding: 0; } to your stylesheet."

    Sure, just change the css properties as follows, and change the left and top properties to fit your needs. #container { margin:0 auto; position:absolute; left:100px; top:150px text-align:left; clear:left; } Hope this helps.

    flash mouse over image gallery

    I've done image galleries plenty of times with Flash. They're never complicated. Could you be a bit more specific as to how you want the images to display? Do you just want them to pop up when someone mouses over the thumbnails? What are the two buttons for? Do the images need to load dynamically?

    Content Management System

    You and I are in the same boat. CMSs were mentioned to me briefly in my senior year of school. They seem to be amazing for extensions. PHP coding is pretty much done for you.

    Let us think

    I haven't experimented with the new illustrator CS4 yet, though I always thought it was such a great tool. I wonder if Microsoft's Silverlight is going to compete with Flash. I doubt it, but Silverlight fans will sometimes swear by it, and Microsoft is really trying to shove it into the competition.

    As for tools, I like the Adobe Suite. Dreamweaver is an amazing tool, though a lot of professionals just use it for code view. Really though, the best tool that you can have is heavy technical skill.
