You could try using a page flipper. Basically the concept is that it will automatically convert your pdf into a flash file that works like an online magazine. I'm not sure offhand if there's anything that will do this automatically for Wordpress, but there's definitely one for Joomla...

Alternatively: try a transparent gif. While not always as crisp as a png depending on the situation, it's sometimes quite faster to get working and can look just as good situationally.

IE and png transparency don't generally play nice together. (I really wish I had $1 for every time I've typed "IE and xxxxx don't generally play nice together.") That said, there's some javascript solutions out there to fix png transparency in IE. Search google for something like: ie png...

Hi rboulder, You'll need to do a bit of php coding to get access to the variables to carry them over. Depending on whether you're using GET or POST on your form, either of these pages will be helpful. http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.get.php...

Try this. Currently you have: <div id="nav"> menu html </div> <div id="content"> content html </div> Instead, put in a wrapper div like so: <div id="contentArea"> <div id="nav"> menu html </div> <div id="content"> content html </div> </div> Where contentArea has the width of nav +...

Hi Fengyuan, While as a web developer I pride myself on cross-browser compatibility, we really need to draw the line somewhere. While I don't like doing it, I'll generally still design for IE as far back as IE6 since corporations are still using it in large numbers. However, I think it's...

If they wanted the entire TBB page embedded within the page, you could probably get creative using an IFrame to load the TBB page. However, there may be security issues here since it seems that TBB will be doing transactions. As for just embedding the table from their pages, I don't think...

This would be difficult, if not impossible, to diagnose without a link to where it's being used. The issue could be with the css, but it could also be that your html is poorly written / invalid. Or it could very easily be a javascript issue. IE tends to be very unforgiving / erratic when it...

The question really depends on the details for the website you're setting up. Offhand, $500 seems a bit low for the NYC area (I'm based on long island). But it depends on the details. If it's just a quick 3 page website with little content / difficult design features, $500 may be on par. If...

No problem. Happy to see this worked for you!

One thing that you'll quickly learn in this field is that clients will often throw you a curve ball that you weren't anticipating. When this happens, Google is your friend. In this case, if the DW Spry Widgets doesn't work, what you'll need to do is use Javascript to modify the elements on...

Hi Ben, As for migrating a fairly simple website onto a CMS, a developer with experience in any CMS shouldn't have difficulty doing so regardless of the CMS. As for doing it yourself, I'm not sure that any one is easier than any other across the board. It would really come down to finding one...

This is actually a bit more interesting. I just had a coworker who still has IE7 give it a test and it looks like it may be an IE7-only bug. Using IE7 the nav generally looks ok, but all of the pages other than the home page aren't centered but are instead left aligned. Everything looks fine...

Hi Aaron, Feel free to contact me regarding Magento work. We've done a lot of custom consulting with Magento, including achieving over 75x speed increases in both Search and Import for very large Magento installations. Our largest Magento installation maintains between 2-5 million products...

Hi there, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by the Nav Elements becoming deconstructed. I just checked this in both IE8 and IE6 and didn't notice any issues on the about page. However, there does seem to be a Javascript error somewhere, which is causing an error popup in IE. Details from...

In the following, you have the code that gives the Skate Park link the extra spacing. You should remove it: ul.links li a.shim{ padding:0 89px; } Now the padding will be even, but the nav bar will not be wide enough. One solution to this is to increase the padding between elements until...

Not entirely sure what you mean. Are these Joomla extensions? If so you should use the Extensions -> Install / Uninstall Extensions area. You can either upload the zipped component / module / plugin or upload the unzipped files to a directory and install from there. Alternatively, if you...

Quote from some form of research paper. Google search revealed the following: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22stable+bilateral+teleoperation+with+position-error%22&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&client=firefox-a&rlz=1R1GGGL_en___US357 Though neither seems to directly link to the paper.

Sending out html-based emails is a particularly tricky problem. All email systems have very strict rules on which tags / css styles work and which don't, and they vary between providers. So in the end you need to go with the lowest common denominator. I believe there's services out there...

Hi Lou, Well, you'll pretty much end up needing some sort of server-side technology for this. Odds are good you'll end up with something based on php / mysql if you want to go the open-source / cost-effective route. Which to go with would depend largely on your situation. Google can be...
