Don’t float in your tables.

  • 12 Jan, 2005

Well I learned today that you shouldn’t float in your tables. I had a site that looked great and designed with CSS.

Yea! A Background.

IE Actually Helped?

  • 29 Dec, 2004

I was almost amazed at Internet Explorer (PC) yesterday. A new design looked great in everything except IE and I had to do some extra investigating. Well IE pointed out a few issues, like the columns were not adding up to the correct amount. So I fix them thinking this was a big help and […]

Using CSS to Control Multiple Hover Text Colors

  • 2 Nov, 2004

I found a great new CSS trick today to control the hover text color for different links on a page. Basically you add five class’ to your CSS file. /* black links with blue rollover */ .link-black {color: #000000;} .link-black a:link {color: #000000;} .link-black a:visited {color: #000000;} .link-black a:hover {color: #0098cb;} .link-black a:active {color: #0098cb;} […]
