    Extra usable login form

    Hi all, I've been working on a way to make login forms a little better to use. The average form requires the user to type a login name and password then hit submit. If the user name was typed incorrectly, the user must wait for the error page to download and render before finding out they...

    Navagation ideas

    My bad. I meant to say XHTML 1.1 served as application/xhtml+xml. The red background color on the w3c site says it all. Content-types I don't think there are any good reasons for him to use XHTML in the first place. HTML 4.0 strict is good enough for most. So many sites use xhtml with no...

    Dreamweaver: Can I OMIT in Find and Replace?

    I know you are using Dreamweaver but I'm pretty sure BBEdit allows you to only search certain pages and use regular expressions to more exact with the search.

    IE Win and JPG colors - WTF?

    I've noticed JPGs look different than GIFs, even when the exact same color is used in Photoshop. I never saw any options to include a color profile while using Photoshop's Save for Web window.

    Navagation ideas

    I think it would be ideal to keep the navigation at the top of the page (or down the side). Of course it is a personal portfolio site and the fixed height is fairly small; so keeping it at the bottom might work. Just for the record. XHTML must be served as application/xhtml+xml, not...

    Sending POST with Flash

    Hi all, I am making a Flash site (yeah I know, Flash, blah) for a clothing store. You can go to the site, select the color and size of a certain shirt in Flash, then hit the add to cart button. I need the Flash button to send data through the POST method to paypal (I have the field names that...

    meta tags, google and yahoo

    First, use web standards like xhtml for markup and css for layout. From what I've heard, the less bloat in the markup the happier Google is. If you want your name to show up on google, make sure it is in the <title> tags. And like Cat said, get as many people to link to you as possible.

    Using any font (even if you dont have it)

    That would work. But images cause accessability problems. What if the browser has images turned off? What if the browser is text based? What if the user had poor eye sight and needs to enlarge the text size? What if the user is running a screen reader? The sIFR is probably the most accessable...

    Designing for Section 508: Users with disabilities

    If you have a machine running Windows... you can try IBM's screen reader. http://www-3.ibm.com/able/solution_offerings/hpr.html They have a 30 day trial download. What I usually do is turn off the style sheet(s) so the page is text only (good for older browsers with bad or no CSS support...

    CSS Editors for OS X

    My vote is for CSSEdit. The application is a little buggy (crashes about 2 times a week), but it is a big help. Unlike DW MX(don't know about MX 2004), CSSEdit spits out "compressed", or "shorthand" CSS. For example: body { background: #555 repeat-y url(images/pattern.png) 10px 5px; } If...

    What's the wisdom on OpenType and TrueDoc?

    Do you need this font for titles or for the main body of text? If you need the font for a title, there are better ways to do it.

    Gradient Mask in Flash

    Nooooo! I am stoopid! That is NOT what I wanted. I answered my own question incorrectly. I need a mask to have a transparency. If you use a transparent PNG, you do not get the desired results. Here is what I want it to look like, but with a mask: (attachment)
