interesting, can somone confirm this? i dont want to develop any more bad habbits ;/ breaking away from table layouts was hard enough.

im just now getting the hang of css layouts and i would have loved to have tutorials on w3 (as opposed to me having to search the alvit web developer handbook for different methods) i think a series of articles/turorials on layout in css would be great (including divs that stretch to = height of longest div,) things that most new css devs want to do but have to search everywhere to find, and then when they do find it theres no community to help them with it. w3 is a great site but without tutorials on layouts i personaly think its incomplete.

sorry, yes I meant DOM. So what your saying is that when possible I should use css?

have another question. i recently read an article (dont remember where) but what it came down to is that dom should be used for effect that css is commonly used for such as hover focus active. is this true?

ahh very good, thanks for the info *started going through the js tutorials yesterday*

www.verizon.comon the right when you mouse over the "for your home" or "for your business" it scrolls out additional content. what language is used to do this?

*sigh*

im on low speed (21.6kb) dialup and no highspeed solution is available (except for the overpriced satellite internet) and it would be great to be able to download the tutorials with the tryit editor so that one can read/practice localy. Any chance of something like this happening?

thanks scott

thanks, these are perfect

say somone is on index and i want them to be on the habitat section of the resources page (habitat is a anchor). what would the url look like?

question on that, where does a freelancer fall into that "x amount of years exp". If the freelancer has been doing web design/development for 3 years under his own company does that mean he has 3 years exp when he goes to apply for a job in a web design/development firm? or does it mean he has 0 because he hasnt ever worked for in a multi person company?

i have a 3 column layout setup and the right column is a 2nd nav system for sections within a page (using named anchors) i want this div to always appear on screan (scrolls with page) how can i do this?

HTML CODE<div id="button"><ul> <li><a href="#">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#">Hidden Cameras</a></li> <li><a href="#">CCTV Cameras</a></li> <li><a href="#">Employee Theft</a></li> <li><a href="#">Helpful Hints</a></li> <li><a href="#">F.A.Q</a></li> <li><a href="#">About Us</a></li> <li><a href="#">Contact Us</a></li></ul></div>CSS CODE#button { width: 12em; border-right: 1px solid #000; padding: 0 0 1em 0; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Lucida, Geneva, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #90bade; color: #333; } #button ul { list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: none; } #button li { border-bottom: 1px solid #90bade; margin: 0; } #button li a { display: block; padding: 5px 5px 5px 0.5em; border-left: 10px solid #1958b7; border-right: 10px solid #508fc4; background-color: #2175bc; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; width: 100%; } html>body #button li a { width: auto; } #button li a:hover { border-left: 10px solid #1c64d1; border-right: 10px solid #5ba3e0; background-color: #2586d7; color: #fff; }Thats straight of the link i gave earlier.

i suggest you start off by reading the html and css tutorials found on w3schools main page. we cant help you if you dont have a foundation.once youve learned how to work with css and html and have a layout setup then we can help you add a navigation bar.

are you using tables for your layout?

this should help. http://www.alistapart.com/articles/taminglists/

when i was learning html the only tool i need was 3 browsers and notepad.

i think i would consider a job that requires use of html, tables and dreamweaver entry level. but the second they start throwing php/css/sql etc into the mix then i would quickly consider it a higher end position.

actualy since the hex is 3 sets of 2 equal values it can be shortened to fff the same way something like 11aabb can be shortened to 1ab. that last ones just made up by the way ;/

wow scott didnt even think of that. *will use in future*

im looking for a truly free stock art website, preferably something designed with web designers / developers / graphic artists in mind. I dont mind registering but it seems everywhere i go they want $1-$3 per picture. Where do you guys go?

your going to need paid hosting (or host it yourself) to support asp. I dont know of any free webhosts that support it. There are plenty of good hosting companies i could mention but im not sure on what the policies on this forum are on that kind of thing.

post your source code

I've been reading alistapart alot lately and I've noticed that the authors generaly use definition lists <dd> as opposed to the more common unordered list <ul>. Im curious to what the benefits are of using <dd> over <ul> . My main interest is in whether i should be using <dd> for my css styled navigation systems as opposed to my current method of using <ul>s'
