damn that's cool dude!!! when u master this shit look into server-side stuff like php, or asp/asp.net

http://asp.net is good place to start on that
also check out ajax.asp.net

Thanks bro What are the advantages of using php and stuff? Like what can you do with ajax and php and stuff that you cant without?

[.:bHd:.]

Okay question: How do I make it so elements that are lined up horizontally don't start lining up on top of each other when i resize the browser window?

Obviously it depends on what you're trying to do, but in the end coding is easy and cut-and-dry compared to creating something coherent, useable and attractive... assuming you're not trying to do something completely cutting edge technology-wise.

+1 UI is critical, and is a PITA to make.

Javascript, not Java. Two totally different languages.

Cool site though.

1. This doesn't happen in Safari but it does in Firefox. Whenever you click on a picture there is a purple outline around it indicating you clicked on it. Is there any way to disable that?

2. I have a javascript on my gallery page that when you click on a picture, the page fades out and the picture comes up. It works perfectly fine when i preview it from dreamweaver, but when i upload it to the server and try to click it nothing happens.

please

HTML is static and displays static contents. php/asp.net is server-side script that is dynamic. you use it to pull data out of a database for example, or to handle events on the page (like a button click or something like that)

welcome to different browsers and the IDE's hahaha try setting fixed sizes for your elements, but even that might be altered depending on the browser. focus your work on one browser, it's a nightmare if u try to make ur stuff work on more than one

[.:bHd:.]

Ahh this shit is too confusing

[!Xoible]

i honestly use 2 different tools and a lot of manual editing with i work with html. i use dreamweaver + visual studio .net + notepad

Add this to your css:

a img { border:none; }

Don't use Dreamweaver, write it all by hand so you know exactly what's going on Unfortunately, these are skills that cannot be learned overnight, it takes time.

[.:bHd:.]

Thanks but that didn't work either. I'll just keep messing with settings until i find it lol

[!Xoible]

border="0"

Lmao! I put it under the attributes for my h1 tag in the css description. Like where it says position and stuff. It made no difference. I tried it in Opera too and only firefox does this. Haven't tried IE I'm on a mac lol.

[!Xoible]

lol is it not? hahahah wtf is xhtml? they keep shoving x's in all those languages lol

[.:bHd:.]

From what i learned its html 4.0.1 but stricter. You have to close every tag and nothing can be capitalized.

[!Xoible]

dont tell me, i dont wanna know
what u mean by can be capitalized?

[.:bHd:.]

like you cant write. <Img> and continue coding.
It has to be <img> your content </img>

[!Xoible]

so it's case sensitive

Firefox on Mac and Internet Explorer on Windows will show borders around images that are linked unless you tell them not to. Safari handles those default differently. Interesting that the code I gave you didn't work out, is there an example you can show me where you've added it and it doesn't function correctly?

Haha, basically XHTML is based off of HTML, but designed with the intention of separating site content away from the visual layout. You use XHTML to organize your site content within their appropriate tags and then use CSS declarations to tell the browser how to render those respective tags. This means no font="" attributes, no border="" attributes, no tables to place things on pages, etc...

If done correctly, you will end up with infinitely more efficient code then you would when using "old school HTML"

[.:bHd:.]

Anyways i gave up on CSS and just did a border=0 and now it works =] lol

<img> </img> isn't valid XHTML either

you do <img src="." alt="." />
