    Mac vs. PC for web design

    I've used Linux when I was heavy into programming. Never liked it much. Thanks for the confidence horrorshow. I think I'm off to gateway.com. Louis

    Mac vs. PC for web design

    Thanks for the responses. I really do want to switch over to Windows, I'm just nervous about Vista, and I have no idea when Windows 7 will come out. I'll be getting CS4 soon anyway, so the software won't be much of an issue. Your responses made me more confident that there really isn't much...

    Flash in a frying pan!

    no flash content should EVER get cut off. This is because once you place the SWF into an HTML document, the html document will provide scrolls bars to make the rest of the swf visible (sort of like placing an image in a page that is too large fore the screen: scroll bars will appear). I...

    Mac vs. PC for web design

    Okay, so I've been working on an iBook G4, and would desperately like to get a new computer. Maybe a desktop. I've been told for a long time that, for some reason, it is better to do graphic and web design on a mac. Why is this so? With the increasing price of Macintosh computers, would it...

    What is your favorite hosting company?

    I use one that is generally not liked by other designers; ipowerweb.com I've never had any problems with it, but I was wondering what everyone else uses. Louis

    How to work as a freelancer web designer

    That depends on what type of websites you plan on taking in. Some websites require a lot less skill than other websites. You just have to be honest with them as to what you can and cannot do. For example, during the initial planning meeting, if they mention that they need a shopping cart feature...

    loading a large movie

    Strike, that was a perfect response. Thanks. I did some XML loading for another section of her website. But that one was for an image gallery. All of the CS3 code that I find online for self playing slideshows seem to assume that all of the images are of equal width and height, which her...

    form/ php?

    Okay. After an hour of testing with no results, I thought it might be that the mail() function doesn't work with gmail or yahoo mail; and I was right.

    form/ php?

    this is strange. I just tried using it, and I get the confirmation that the e-mail has been received (the echo), but I haven't yet received the e-mail. It's been about 10 minutes. I double checked and the e-mail is correct and in the correct position.

    loading a large movie

    I may have to settle for doing something like this, since I've use both of those scripts before. However, the client is going to be very very reluctant to have anything of lower quality (even slightly). Also, the images aren't of equal dimensions which makes it difficult to use the tommcfarlin...

    CMS Help, or another way to manage a website

    Though I've never used it, I hear that Joomla is good. There are video tutorials for it on youtube as well.

    loading a large movie

    Hi everyone, One of my clients needs a slideshow for the intro to her website. The problem is that the slideshow that she wants is 100mb in size, and I can't lower the quality since it is a jewelry website. Is their any way to somehow dynamically load the pictures one by one as the slideshow...

    Any Suggestions?!

    Flash can be VERY time consuming. Are you sure that he is lazy? He may just be realizing how much time this may take. Yes, another designer would be able to pick up where he left off, but you would actually need him to sort of "brief" the new designer on how he has organized things (symbols...

    Resizing Images

    Hello, I am currently designing a website for a client that contains lots of images (around 150). I find myself constantly resizing them (for thumbnails, screen real estate, etc.). Anyway, I use photoshop to do this, but is there any other program that can do this easily as well? My client...
