Mr. Hania,
I applaud you on the example webpage in blue.
I doubly applaud you on how you gave credit for ideas in your .css file !
I have questions about your links code...
1. what is this: w\idth
2. why aren't you specifying "#menu-left-item a:link" ?
3. is it Always unnecessary to repeat every selector/value when the style items are related ergo, a + a:visited same, only colors changing in a:hover ? Obviously it is working for you... that seems fantastic to me. *applause!*

Hello JIM_ELL

First thank you for the applause and thank you for the credit.
About the w\idth it is known as Internet Explorer Fix, there is other kinds of fixes but I should tell you that it does not always work.
About the a and a:visited I only specify the style of the elements I want it to be in my style, the tags that I dont specify is going to use the default style.
I need thaw to ask you one thing please if you use the template please tell me how and where you used it.
If you want any more help please reply I will be glad to help.

Shouldn't you be reseting everything you're going to be using so that you know it looks the same, as opposed to hoping that the different browsers will interpret 'default' the same?

Also: nice site, I'll post more later.

yes, but in this case I want the default regardless of the browser and just for the record I tested the template on IE 6, IE 7, Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2 and Opera 9.0 an it did fine on all.

thank you for posting.

Well, I was not intending to use your work, but only to learn from it. But I can still appreciate a thing of beauty I see, though I admit I am partially biased because blue is my favorite 'color-family'.

I see you call 'w\idth' an 'Internet Explorer Fix', and that your example in the code-box above shows an error of 2px only. I shall 'google' 'Internet Explorer Fix' to find a definition, and see how many instances it applies to. I will play with w\idth in some home made examples, to see how it works. My experience thus far (keep in mind it is quite short!) has been that the CSS W3Schools teaches works flawlessly in IE, and that FireFox is prone to 'mess things up' in bad ways, and yet my pal in Norway designs for FireFox and proclaims he suffers from IE messing things up!

Since my frustration is that different browsers seem to interpret CSS in various ways, I have been searching for the Holy Grail, the KeyCode, the Magic Wand of web design... the way to force at least Internet Explorer and FireFox to play nice and 'see' (and therefore 'show') designs the same way. I find that usually the two are willing to agree within a few pixels tolerance if you play with the code long enough, but since time = money in today's world the grail/code/wand I seek is meant to prevent such time consuming delays. I thank you and tip my hat to you for your part in my education, and for your speedy response, sir.

I am always looking for education, and I find that functional examples work better than textbooks, usually. I am pretty good at figuring out how things function when I see them in action. In the past this applied to mechanical things, as my primary employment over the years has been as a machinist, then cnc machinist, and part-time programmer. {cnc = computer numerical control, which uses 'g-code', the language that converts text into motion on a semi-automated cnc milling machine, lathe, tool grinder, etc.} HTML, although I have dabbled in it using wysiwyg like geocities pagebuilder, and Front Page 2000/2003 more recently, now my approach is to hand-code everything with notepad.exe 'the html editor of champions'!

ahmad,

Nice website. Splash pages are kinda lame though. They're just an annoyance to that get in the way of the content. I think they should only be used for content protected areas, where a login would be required.

I believe the w\idth: fix is a fix for ie 5. i know of an article that is the holy grail 3 column layout is this what your trying to create?

sec...



edit:

glish.com : CSS layout techniques : 3 columns, the holy grail
