Q. For my next move, I am relocating to Greatville to be near my family. I've been told to wait till I move before job-hunting -- but I'm nervous about moving without a job. A. You are absolutely right to be nervous. Moving without a job gives you the thinnest identity of all. Banks and landlords like to see a number in the block marked "Salary." And socially you're identified by that "What do you do" question. 1. If you're entry level, you may have to move without a job. But if you're senior, companies may conduct national searches to fill your position. They may not give preference to local hires. 2. Before you start packing, identify what's available by talking to people who actually live in the...

Tables used to be the "in" thing when it came to designing web sites. As with many other things though, new techniques and methods standards are bound to emerge with time. When once tables were seen in most web pages, some experts now suggest that tables should be thrown out of the window. In simple words, tableless web design is basically a method whereby page layout control is achieved without the use of HTML tables. Instead, text and other elements on a page are arranged using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). This language is the brainchild of the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). It was designed in such a way as to improve web accessibility as well as to make use of HTML for semantic purposes rather...

What is CSS? CSS stands for cascading style sheets. They are the new technology used to layout and style web pages. So what happened to old, trusty tables? For long tables were the only tool available to the web developers to layout their web pages. But with CSS support becoming common, you now have a choice. Both have their strong and weak points, some more than others as you will soon see. The advantages of tables. 1. Tables have been much longer than CSS, so even today it is easier to find someone who can do a layout in tables. 2. Most of the WYSIWYG editors output table driven layout. 3. CSS support can be buggy, especially in older browsers. So your web pages may display differently in...

When using Macromedia's Dreamweaver 8, you'll want to acquaint yourself with the Property Inspector immediately. The Property Inspector panel is by default located at the bottom of the Dreamweaver window, below the Design and Code view windows. Using this panel, you can modify the properties of the currently selected object. In the Design view, if you click on the HTML tag or an object, most of its properties will be accessible. This isn't necessarily the case with page properties in Dreamweaver. The page properties do not appear in the Property Inspector, but can be accessed from an open page by selecting Modify > Page. If you prefer, the Property Inspector has a Page Properties button, which will...

CSS or Cascading Style Sheets has opened up tremendous possibilities for improving web site designs, web page layouts and adding new features. The HTML code can be made shorter, cleaner and simpler by CSS resulting in faster loading of web pages, and making them more accessible to search engines. Here I am narrating my experience with only one part of CSS - using it to eliminate tables. If you look at a traditionally designed web page, you are likely to find number of tables in the layout. Tables were earlier used only for displaying information in a tabular form. But web site designers soon started using tables for other applications such as showing images, graphics and other decorations. My own...

Heading With Your Important Keywords Subheading With Important Keywords Your important content will be here, with keywords. Notice how this is right at the top of your code. No matter where this is on the page, you want it here at the top of your code. This could have image buttons, text, or both. If using images, make sure to include alt text which should contain keywords. With tables for layout, this would most likely be above the content, now it is below where it should be. The div id above will help you control this. As the name can imply, this can be at the top of the page, but notice how it is way down in your code because it has no strong SEO elements. It might be your logo or...

Why do we (web developers) use tables??? Yes they make for fantastic designs and organized websites but they are not for this purpose. A table should be used for TABULAR DATA not design and layout. That being said, I have sworn off tables and replaced them with the almighty div tag and CSS. In the good old days you had no option but to use tables if you wanted to give an impressive presentation on your website. Along came CSS a designer's best friend.

One of the major features of CSS is the possibility to control page layout without needing to use presentational tools. However, CSS layout has gained a rather undeserved reputation of being difficult, particularly among those who are studying this language for the first time. This is partly due to browser problems like for example IExplorer 7, but mostly due to a proliferation of different layout techniques available on the Web. It seems that every CSS author has their own technique for creating multicolumn layouts, and new CSS developers will often use a technique without really understanding how it works. This "black box" approach to CSS layout may get quick results, but ultimately stunts the...

Often a Website owner decides to "dress up" their menu display by using button graphics instead of plain text links. It's a great idea to give your navigation more punch, but I recommend you avoid going with image files for your buttons and instead choose a simple CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) layout. Here are my reasons: Graphic files can increase the time it takes your site to load into a browser. Search engines cannot read images. CSS, when used properly, will give you far more control without the need for java script. Using a little bit of CSS, you can create a very nice menu array that your visitors will think are dynamic image files. Copy the URL below, paste it into a browser, and have a look...

The ezines that are available today bear an uncanny resemblance in intent to extended greeting cards (newsletters) of our past. Some of the earliest newsletters date back to the early 1700's and were often political in nature. Some might even go so far as to say the earliest newsletters were filled with propaganda because the same information was not found in more reputable publications. The 1800's saw a reduction in newsletters, but the often rebellious nature of many newsletters would not allow the genre to remain dormant. By the 1900's newsletters were once again on the rise and their importance began to be noticed and their acceptance began to grow. Many individuals began to notice there were...

Many website development companies, in earlier times used simple HTML to design websites. However, when certain design needed to be changed, it became very tedious to carry out those changes across all the pages of the website. Cascading Style Sheets, also popularly known as CSS, solved this tiresome task of making changes to every web page or the HTML document. Website development companies started using CSS to make their work easy of formatting the HTML document. Before CSS was introduced HTML tags were used to characterize fonts, tables, headers, paragraphs, and so on. The browser would then read these tags and present a formatted HTML page to the user. Tags for various formatting structures were...
