CSS Link Specificity - How to Put Your Links in Order
Love Hate is how I taught myself to remember the order. The acronym for the order (LVHA) just wasn't terribly easy to remember on its own. It didn't spell anything, or really give a sensical meaning to me. But Love Hate works. So what is LVHA?1. a:link 2. a:visited 3. a:hover 4. a:activeLVHA is the order you should designate your link rules in the CSS so they work together. The way that it is designed to work in CSS, each selector has a specificity. So, just like anything else in the cascade, if there are two selectors that are both applied to one element, the one with the higher specificity is applied. Put them in the wrong order, and you could end up with a page that isn't showing your style...

XHTML- Kicking and Screaming into the Future
XHTML, the standard, was first released back in 2000. Roughly five years later we begin to see major websites revised to use this standard. Even the favorite whipping boy of standards-compliance punditry, Microsoft, presents their primary homepages, and in XHTML. Standards compliant XHTML sites are still the minority. The reason is simple. When the W3C released the new standard, the rest of the web running on HTML did not cease to function. Nor will the rest of the web, written in various flavors of HTML, cease to function any time soon. Without any pressing need to conform to the new standard, designers continue to use old, familiar methods. These methods will perform in any modern browser, so why...

Web Design - Leads You to the World of Web Technology
Sir Tim Berners-Lee was the first Web designer and the inventor of the World Wide Web. He launched the first online website in 6 August 1991. He summed up the Internet communication (compiled with emails) with hypertext transfer protocols.Initially the Web designing was based upon the simple markup languages, functionality of these languages was very limited. At that time only the hyper linking between the pages and layout services were available; it became more extensible and rich in context with the advancement of Web technology and Web design.As the time progressed the Web designing languages changed their faces, one of the main drastic change was the dynamicity of the pages along with the...

Cascading Style Sheets for Better Web Design
In cascading style sheets you can specify how your web pages will be presented on the screen by simply predefining page elements such as fonts, headers and links.You can add these predefined elements in the head-section of your pages, but more interesting is to use them in a single .css file and include that file in every page on your site.All you have to do is include in your HTML header. (the path in the href must point to the place where your .css file is stored)There are two main benefits to using css sheets in a separate file:1. more flexibility; only one (1) file to update2. less HTML coding and easy replacement of deprecated HTML.

Tables Bad, CSS Good
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.

Who Sets the Standard? Email Newsletters Could Fail the "Test"
The buzz word "standards" may cause an eyeball-rolling response, but without standards, we would have to buy specific media to work with our DVD, VCR and music player. Remember the software buying days, when you had to look for compatibility in terms of Mac versus Windows? Imagine having to do that with Web pages. This Web page is for Macs only ... this one is for Windows. Thanks to W3.org, a body that sets recommendations for HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and other markup languages, we don't have that issue.Some sites, however, do look better in Internet Explorer than in Mozilla or Firefox. That's because such sites use an Internet Explorer-specific markup language that is not standard. Let me...

There are three basic things that every site needs to have, a good design (site layout), good functionality (programming) and good traffic (site visits).

XHTML (eXtended Hypertext Markup Language): An Overview
Many Web pages today are poorly written. Syntactically incorrect HTML code may work in most browsers even if it doesn't follow HTML rules. Browsers employ heuristics to deal with these flawed Web pages; however, Web-enabled wireless devices (such as PDAs) can't accommodate these hefty Web browsers. The next step in HTML's evolution comes in the form of XHTML (eXtended Hypertext Markup Language), which is basically a combination of HTML and XML.HistoryAs with XML, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) was the force behind XHTML's development. When XML was introduced, a two-day workshop was held to discuss whether a new version of HTML in XML was needed. The answer was a resounding "Yes."The first W3C...

Ideas for Deck Designs
Long ago we stopped designing boring rectangular wood decks built to fit an old picnic table and a pair of dirty boots. Today's decks are complete outdoor rooms, with imagination as the only limitation to what can be created.

By asking yourself some simple questions, and working with your existing property's unique personality, plus borrowing the odd good idea from other decks, you can create the deck of your dreams. Of primary concern to the design of your deck is the layout of the home and property. Deciding where to put your dream deck on the property is a good place to start. Is it...

Bandwidth, data transfer, water and pipes - how not to be confused A popular misconception among many people, as well as web hosting providers, is that bandwidth and data transfer are the same. This is probably due to the fact that they are very closely linked, but for anyone who is subscribed to a web hosting service, knowing the difference can save both time and money. Put simply, bandwidth is the quantity of data that can be transferred from a website at any one time, while data transfer is the amount transferred over a period of time. This is where the water and pipes come in. A pipe would be bandwidth - the bigger the pipe, the more water could pass through. However, data transfer would be...

The Major Benefits of Layouts in CSS
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...
Cheap Web Hosting is Shared Web Hosting
Lots of people are looking for cheap hosting solutions. It is also true that the price of hosting has decreased over the past few years. It is now more affordable than ever to host your website. One should be careful however, of opting for the very cheapest that you can find. Most often, these providers do overselling. This basically works on almost the same principle as airlines that do overbooking. Because airlines realise that about 10% to 15% of people who book their tickets will actually never make it to the plane, the allow overbooking of tickets of up to 10%. The trouble comes when EVERYONE decides to pitch up and use their tickets. That is when you get long queues, grumbling passengers and...

Cascade Style Sheet Basics
There are only three parts to Cascade Style Sheets (CSS), and once we understand what they are and how to use them, CSS becomes very easy and exciting to use. One of the best parts of CSS is that you can create an external Cascade Style Sheet which you can use for all web pages on your website. You can also have one CSS for all of your articles and a different one for all of your press releases. Making one change in your CSS, you are able to effect changes to a few web pages or to hundreds of web pages without ever touching any of the different web pages themselves. Below I am going to break out each one of the parts of CSS and explain them in non-techie terms: 1. Selector 2. Property 3. Value This...
CSS Website Design
Cascading Style Sheets (or CSS for short) have slowly but surely become a website design standard over the past few years. It was not that many years ago that people used Frames to position their content across their web pages and Tables gradually replaced this. Many low-end website developers are still very comfortable with Tables, as it 'does what it says on the tin'. However, more and more people are now moving over to CSS, as virtually all the layout options can be achieved using the code. One major problem with CSS is that not all Web browsers produce the same results and it has not been helped in the past by the various browsers employing their own way of interpreting certain CSS conventions...
How To Design Your Site For Massive Traffic
In order to tap into the power of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) elements, you first need to know what they are.
