| Article Title :: Using CSS with Tables |
| |
|
Tables are currently the most common method of laying
out/structuring a web page. Although the use of tables for this
purpose is considered, by many, to be a misuse, it is by far the
easiest way of organising web page content.
Most purists would say their use is now obsolete and you should
switch to Cascading Style sheets for website /web page layout.
However personally I still prefer tables for the basic outline
structure in what is called a "minimal table layout".
In the minimal table approach the outline structure is created
using a table, and positioning within the table is done using
cascading style sheet elements. This is the approach I
currently use, and probably will contin (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Cross Browser Compatibility |
| |
|
There are literally hundreds of web browsers in use around the
world. All of them implement the W3C document standards a little
differently. Web designers must wrestle with these differences
to make a web site work. This article discusses the effect those
different implementations has on design.
What is Cross Browser Compatibility?
If a web page is completely cross-browser compatible, it will
look more or less the same in all of the existing web browsers.
The most commonly used browsers are Internet Explorer, Netscape
Navigator, Firefox and Opera.
Each one of these browser implements HTML, JavaScript and
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) a little differently. Some
difference only create cosm (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Power of CSS |
| |
|
CSS or cascading style sheets are used to create a set of styles
that can be applied to your fonts, tables and most other
attributes of your web page. These styles allow you to create a
much cleaner, faster web page that search engines love and also
makes life much easier on the designer when global changes to
these styles need to be applied. It is also always critical to
always keep in mind your target audience and the average
internet connection speed these users have. By using styles
sheets to their full advantage, you can help keep your web page
size down to a minimum.
When you sit down to think about the sitemap and the
navigational structure of your website, you should consider

| Article Title :: Cascading Stylesheets: 5 Reasons To Use CSS |
| |
|
Cascading Stylesheets become more and more important in today's
webdesign.
But before you decide to get started using CSS you should know
why CSS is so important and what its advantages are.
1. The content is separated from the design
Because you are able to create a separate Stylesheet and link it
to all your webdocuments, you have great control over how your
website looks. So if you want to change a certain aspect of your
page, you only need to alter one file: your Stylesheet!
This Of course, generates some great flexibility. This
flexibility is not available when your website is using tables
for layout, inline font tags or inline defined colors.

| Article Title :: CSS Browser Detection - The complete guide |
| |
|
Different browsers, different CSS interpretations! There will
be a time when you'll need to hide some CSS rules from a
particular browser, or even all the CSS file! In this articles
I'll try to compile all possible types of Browser detection
technics and provide examples. So let's start with the easier
one!
Browser detection for Netscape
Netscape 4 is probably the dumbest browser when it comes to CSS
support, extremely limited and many times erroneous! As the
browser's market share of Netscape is below 0.5% it became
natural to hide the CSS file from it! The method used for this
is the import directive that will make the browser to display a
version of the site completely without CSS.

| Article Title :: CSS in Flash the return of crisp and legible fonts. |
| |
|
A typical challenge faced by Flash developers like me is
getting fonts to look like you want then to. For any project
choosing the right font face and size is a process that requires
both you and ultimately the client to see eye to eye.
In Flash MX and earlier versions fonts were by default
anti-aliased, meaning that the edges of the text are smoothed.
This is good when dealing with large type but it causes small
text to appear blurry. Earlier versions of Flash also had other
issues. For instance if one were to realign textfields around
other objects fonts might come out of focus (because of
positioning), and getting it right could take several tries.
More recently with the advent of Fla (read full article) |

Do you know how many fonts are currently installed on your PC?
What is the difference between OpenType, TrueType, PostScript
Type 1 and Printer fonts? If the answer is 'No', it's time to
consider getting a font organizer.
Typograf
This extremely well-done 32-bit app lets you preview, print, and
manage TrueType and Type 1 fonts. You can use it to view font
samples, whether the fonts are installed or not; sort font
previews by filename, directory, font name, size, date, kerning
pairs, copyright, and more; display a font's properties,
including general, metric, and kerning information; and check
out a typeface to see what (if any) extended characters it has.

| Article Title :: 7 Reasons Why Using CSS is a Must |
| |
|
CSS is a new option for website designers that have been using
HTML and tables for most of their web designing careers. Of
course, it is a huge change and requires learning a new language
and skill, however most people are saying CSS is worth it and it
will give you more control, options, and is easier to edit.
Consider the following 7 reasons why using CSS is a must and see
if it convinces you to change your method of web design.
Reason #1 Present Data Logically When you use CSS in the layout

| Article Title :: SEO Benefits Of CSS |
| |
|
This article is most useful if you are somewhat familiar with
HTML and CSS. I explain the concepts well enough that you do not
have to be an expert, but I want to provide material that will
introduce you to more advanced design in ways you can
understand.
Like many other web designers, I began laying out web pages
using graphical tools and discovered the wonders of tables for
layout without anyone telling me to use them. Since browser
support for CSS is better than it used to be, and tables cause
problems, CSS offers you a benefit you may not have thought
about before, the benefit of better SEO.

highest priority, not (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Starting Cascading Style Sheets |
| |
|
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are being used more and more by web
designers to layout and format web pages. Although they have
been around for several years now many designers have avoided
them due to browser incompatibility.
Although compatibility problems still exist they are no longer
an issue for most applications. Here I will concentrate here on
the main features and how they work and why they are
used.
You may find yourself using CSS anyway without you
knowing as programs like FrontPage use CSS (depends on page
setup options) for some of their functionality. Styles Solve
