W3C has IE6 at 9.6%. http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp The problem I have with IE6 is that the people running it are usually large businesses that never switched to IE7, and that's usually because of lazy IT techs that don't want to bother taking the time to update.

I found the problem. :) There was a rogue paragraph break under the submit button pushing the bottom image down 10px.

I recently integrated a WP blog into a static XHTML site. The site is nearing completion and I found an annoying issue in the comments section of the blog. If you select the "comments" link of any post the css seems to break. This can be seen in the bottom portion of the blog where the...

None of your navigation links are active. They all have "#" as the href. I assume you want to have an active state for each of the buttons. Is this correct? I am assuming this based on your source code where you are setting the id of the active link to "active_button".

If you are familiar with Photoshop but have a limited background in HTML/CSS/JavaScript then Dreamweaver would be a good fit. In fact the entire Adobe Creative Suite is designed to integrate well together. The benefit of using Dreamweaver, in your circumstance, is that it does not require a...

Check out this tutorial from NetTutsPlus http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/how-to-load-in-and-animate-content-with-jquery/

Many, many cool tricks can be pulled of with jQuery. Alot of them are SEO friendly as well. The article linked here touches a bit on how jQuery can help with SEO problems often associated with JavaScript.

Do a Google search for "lightbox". There are many variations of the lightbox effect that you are looking for. It goes a little deeper than just CSS/HTML though. Many of the links offer tutorials on set up and formatting. Personally I use, FancyBox on my sites. It is incredibly easy to...

I'm not a css wiz (yet) but I'll take a stab here Solution 1) Try taking the "dog" div out of the banner div and use css to position it. My assumption here is that by placing the dog image inside the containing "banner" div you are forcing the div to expand. Placing the "dog" div...

Sticky this please. Great post!

I tested the link in IE7 and all looks good to me when compared to FF. However, you have a transparency issue in IE6. I would suggest looking into a .png fix for rendering transparencies in IE6 and below. Personally, I use DD_belatedPNG.js to take care of this issue.

Thanks Blue Archer, I am going to take a closer look at Drupal now. I have been messing around with Joomla! for the past few days and I can definitely see the power of using a CMS. Do most CMS's require knowledge of PHP for creating a template? If so, perhaps I should start on some PHP...

I have been studying up on some popular CMS's (Joomla!, Wordpress, Drupal, etc..) and have some questions I'd like to fire off the community. How steep is the learning curve for these CMS's? From a designers standpoint, having a background in hand-coding XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript; Is...

To add to Ras's post: Check case sensitive links. A site run locally can usually find the image but a server will be case sensitive. And of course there is the IE contingent. "If something is gonna break it will break in IE." :)

What resolution did you design for? Looks a little narrow for the amount of content and target audience. I think if you widen the content a bit, it would look better. 800 px width gets about 4% of the browsing public. I would suggest designing for 1000px wide if not fluid design. 1000 px...

Just a wild shot in the dark without seeing the code ... try adding "style="float: right;" directly after the src="somefile.jpg" of the img tag This is an in-line style. Until you learn some more CSS stick with that. Also, Do a search for "W3C" in google and read up on CSS. There are a...

@PixelPusher: "As far as opacity, a transparent.png would work for the most part, but earlier versions of IE hate transparent pngs (and we hate IE, so there haha). Instead you can use the {opacity:0.7;} style in css, but again getting back to IE, it hates this also, the hack to fix that escapes...

Look into getting an IE Tester. IE is the bane of designers. I don't know where I heard it but I once heard an experienced designer say .. "Design for Firefox and fix for Internet Explorer". Either way, cross browser compatibility is a big deal. Make sure you download a version of all...

When using JQuery to load external content, does this become an issue as well? My original thought is "no". Correct if I am wrong. I usually create a stand alone HTML page and then use JQuery to load the content of a specific (<div>) into the page. The links used to call JQuery work with...
