Downloading a Complete Picasa Web Album (Without Installing Picasa) | fredericiana Google's Picasa Web Album supports downloading an entire album, however, it requires the Picasa software to do so. Bummer if you are on a Mac, or don't want to (or can't) install Picasa on your computer. There's another tutorial online that suggests using a Greasemonkey script to surface the download links, then use the DownThemAll Firefox extension to grab the links. Sadly, the Greasemonkey script in question stopped working after a recent code change on the picasa website. I was able to easily fix it, but due to the lack of an open license, I am unable to share the script with you :( However, I found an alternative solution: The album's RSS feed! Go to the desired Album, and click the "RSS" link on the right hand side: Firefox will show you the RSS feed in a more or less appealing way. The only thing we need to do is download all of these with DownThemAll. Just hit "start" and let it load! Hope this helps!
Clearing a float container without source markup (This clearing technique was developed by Tony Aslett, of csscreator.com. The earliest known mention of the basic :after idea is found here.) Notice as of March 4th, 2008: The article you are reading is getting a bit old and much new information on the subject of clearing has appeared since it was written. You may find this newer article very interesting. Clearing Floats The Old Fashioned Way When a float is contained within a container box that has a visible border or background, that float does not automatically force the container's bottom edge down as the float is made taller. This float-enclosing behavior in IE can also be 'toggled' off again just by hovering of links within the container, if that hovering alters either the link background or one of several other CSS properties. The W3C suggests placing a "cleared" element last in the container box, which is then recognized by the container height, forcing the container to enclose the float above that cleared element too. <div><!
How to: CSS Large Background Since I posted the huge collection of Large Background Websites, I received several email requests on how to make a large background site with CSS. So, I thought it would be a good idea to share my techniques on designing large background websites. In this tutorial, I will provide various CSS examples on how you can create a large background site using either a single or double images. Common Mistake: Background Gets Cropped (see demo) Take a look at the demo file, it looks fine under 1280px. But if you have a high resolution display, you will see the background gets cut off on the sides. Example #1: Single Image (see demo) A quick solution to fix the problem mentioned earlier: make the edge of the image the same color as the BODY background color. CSS Part The CSS part is very simple. Here is the CSS code: Notice there are two extra lines in the BODY selector. Example #2: Double Images (see demo) For this example, I'm going to use the job board design, Design Jobs on the Wall.
