As early as July of 1999 I was pontificating on email lists about the virtues of style sheets. Some things never change. Article Continues Below What has changed is how I think about CSS, and the underlying structure of (X)HTML to which it is applied. For example, I find that most pages on the web contain a menu of links in a navigation area.

These are often marked up as a string of links, often in separate DIVs or paragraphs. Of course the reason that we don’t mark them up in that way is that we don’t want a bullet in front of every link in our navigation area. In this article, I’ll demonstrate how to use CSS to bring unwieldy lists under control. Setting the stage#section2 For purposes of this article, I am using unordered lists. <ul><li>Item 1</li><li>Item 2</li><li>Item 3</li><li>Item 4</li><li>Item 5 we'll make a bit longer so that it will wrap</li></ul> Without any additional styles applied, the list is rendered in this way in the base DIV: Positioning#section3 Markers#section4.

The Highly Extensible CSS Interface ~ The Series ~ Authentic Bor. It’s been nearly three years since publishing a series of articles on this site. I’ve got an irresistible yearning to publish anew. Introducing “The Highly Extensible CSS Interface,” a four-part series of how-to’s and savvy conversation to be published in the coming weeks, with the first article debuting this week.

The phrase “highly extensible” is in reference to designing and coding interfaces that are flexible enough to adapt in ways the designer or developer may not foresee when handing off coded templates, while still retaining the overall aesthetic integrity of the layout. I hope you come to discover extensibility as being broader than just “bulletproofing,” though bulletproofing is certainly a significant part of it. Here’s what to expect: Part One: The Foundation This first article will briefly discuss the importance of producing visually rich interfaces with semantic, accessible, and portable markup underneath.

A couple of years ago I started doing more and more web development and web design, and less and less desktop development. Here's a few things I wish I'd known then: 1.

Use a Reset StylesheetDifferent browsers are free to set default styles for font sizes, margins, and so forth. It's a silly part of the specification but there you go. Rather than trying to eliminate these differences on a case-by-case basis, many web developers now make use of a reset stylesheet to set all margins to zero, remove all borders, standardize all font sizes, and so forth.There's dispute over which particular features need to be reset; but to be honest having any one of them is going to be better than none. (Yes I know in theory you should be able to do that in CSS. SQL Designer. Dreamweaver Tutorial: How to Create a Website with Dreamweaver C.

I first saw Yahoo's 13 Simple Rules for Speeding Up Your Web Site referenced in a post on Rich Skrenta's blog in May. It looks like there were originally 14 rules; one must have fallen off the list somewhere along the way. It's solid advice culled from the excellent Yahoo User Interface blog, which will soon be packaged into a similarly excellent book. It's also available as a powerpoint presentation delivered at the Web 2.0 conference. I've also covered similar ground in my post, Reducing Your Website's Bandwidth Usage.

But before you run off and implement all of Yahoo's solid advice, consider the audience. These are rules from Yahoo, which according to Alexa is one of the top three web properties in the world. And Rich's company, Topix, is no slouch either-- they're in the top 2,000. To help others implement the rules, Yahoo created a FireBug plugin, YSlow. To understand the scoring, you have to dissect the weighting of the individual rules, as Simone Chiaretta did: The Web Credibility Project: Guidelines - Stanford University. Labs - GreyBox.

The Pound program is a reverse proxy, load balancer and HTTPS front-end for Web server(s). Pound was developed to enable distributing the load among several Web-servers and to allow for a convenient SSL wrapper for those Web servers that do not offer it natively. Pound is distributed under the GPL - no warranty, it's free to use, copy and give away.

Pound is a very small program, easily audited for security problems. It can run as setuid/setgid and/or in a chroot jail.

Quite a few people have reported using Pound successfully in production environments. Pound was successfully used in production with a variety of Web servers, including Apache, IIS, Zope, WebLogic, Jakarta/Tomcat, iPlanet, etc. Client browsers that were tested: Failing that you should install from sources: Robert Segall Apsis GmbH P O Box. Web Site Design Showcase - Darkeye. Web Pages That Suck presents the biggest web design mistakes in.

I've gathered what I think are the biggest web design mistakes committed during the period 1995 to 2015.

Some mistakes I'll discuss aren't actually design mistakes in the classic sense—ugly graphics, bad navigation, etc. —but serious big picture problems. 1. These women are laughing at you.

In this article I try to sum up the current state-of-the-art in graphic design for web pages (late 2006, but still highly relevant today), and identify the distinctive features that make a modern web page look fresh, appealing and easy to use.

The key feature of modern web design is simplicity. To learn how to apply simple web design to your own sites, you need to read “Save the Pixel – The Art of Simple Web Design”, which takes you through a full set of simple design tools, illustrated with 22 before & after redesigns. I’m glad to say that web design is better today than ever – and it’s continuing to improve. That’s not just because there are more web sites out there, so more good stuff to look at.

There’s still an awful lot of crud too. I just think that more web designers know more about how to design than ever before. The examples below (which I’ll roll over time) show excellent modern graphic design technique. Hotties Common features Let’s look at these features one by one. Simple layout.
