    Background image dimension for Dreamweaver CS3

    This really depends on what your background image is. If it's a gradient that goes say from blue to white then set your background color to white, make the image 1 pixel wide by whatever height is required to complete your gradient and then set the background image to repeat-x and the...

    first website, need help..

    The reason it looks like that is because YUI "minify" their .css and .js to cut down on download times. Their grids stuff is pretty good and outside of the .css it's usually quiet clear. I reckon godjwood should stay on the path he is currently on.... Just my two cents, JC

    reset-fonts.css is part of Yahoo's User Interface Library (know as YUI). It's basically a .css to level the playing field between the browsers. Different browsers have different 'default' values and settings, things like a "<form" in IE might have a default padding of 2px whereas in FF it's...

    If you are going with a fixed layout then you should not use % at all. Size you image to the actual px values you want it to appear in. That is the main advantage of fixed widths, you specify every think in actual px values so that no matter what resolution the page is viewed under it will...

    Need advice on what to use

    This first thing you'll need to decide is where your logic is going to sit, Client or Server Side. Client Side - Would mean that the calculations are contained in the HTML, this would mean you would be using JavaScript to do the calculations. You would have to layout your form and when the...

    donation form

    Unless you know what you are doing, the short answer is, yes it would be difficult. Your main problem is the credit card handling, you need to be responsible competent to be able to handle the background stuff (security etc.) required for credit card processing. HTH, JC

    form/ php?

    If it's just a "Contact Us" page, I think there are site that will provide the server for you and you just put a piece of HTML that they supply on you page and it handles the rest. There was a thread sometime ago about it but I can't remember the actual site name. If it's more complex then...

    Flash News Headline =D

    I'm not sure if you use the word flash to mean "cool" or actually coded in flash, but the first url you posted uses JavaScript to achieve this effect. The type of control you are looking for is commonly known as a "News Rotator", there are lots available both free and commercial. Check out...

    first website, need help..

    I usually go around the 760px mark. That way you will be ok for resolutions of 800 X 600 upwards (which is pretty much the smallest standard resolution)... Having said that the number of people using this resolution is in reality low so if that proves too limiting you will probable get away...

    first website, need help..

    Just to throw my 2 cents in, I would say stay away from "elastic" layouts. I've found them to always turn into a pain. It might start ok but I've always ended up wishing I hadn't done it in the long run. The type of site you are looking at putting together doesn't need to be elastic and I...

    Help!! I am stucked with my accordion ( css problem)

    If you view source on both the links you sent the pages are very different. Your issue is deeper than just a .css issue. If I where you I'd clear things out and try re-copying the original code. (This is all said without knowing what the back end code is doing. The problem could also be to...

    loading a large movie

    You best bet is to have two separate images for each shot. One relatively low resolution and small that will be part of your slide show and another high resolution image that is displayed when the user clicks an image in the slide show. For the slide show look at something like this...

    jQuery help...?

    I think you have implemented some of what you are trying to do. If you select the tab "Web" and then view page source you will see that the link has a class of "selected" added to it. I imagine when you select each tab the php code should add the "selected" class to the appropriate link...
