Second part. Sorry for the long wait.

Hope everything is self explanatory. Also, my advice to you : Experiment. A tutorial is only meant to help you in your quest, its not supposed to be your base. Muck around. I will help if you don't know what you have done.

Cheers.

Here is the finished result of the first part of the tutorial. Yours may look different as you could have changed a few things in the CSS.
Tutorial Files

Also, note that the spacing for IE is different for the content. Will show you how to fix that in later versions.

Thanks Canadian.

At least someone notices. Funny that, people complain that I haven't done them, yet when I do them they get ignored.

Actually, I can't be bothered making more. I will help people if they need it, but posting it on here? No.

I know you do. But not enough people do. I am spending time and effor on these and but a fraction of the people actually look at it. So better if you add me to Xfire or email me with queries, or I can just generally help you out.

More.... 1 to 1.

NOOOOO! You have to do more, at least do the next one as it's things I usually don't do because I'm a lazy photoshop website designer as you know lol, these threads just need merging and stickying, a web design sub forum would be nice thinking about it, I'm forever bugging you for help as I'm sure other people do, the audience is there, they're just not posting replies for some reason

I believe I never answered one of your form queries. But I have so many PMs from you that it is hard to find the one you sent me.

Please, don't hesitate to send me an email, my help will always be there.

email or other, I will always answer.

I got the form thing worked out after you helped, you gave me a php script to use but my feeble brain managed to cock it up somehow, I've got it all running on a Perl script now, it was a bit easier for a thickie like me lol, should have it all up and running after a month or so of getting the secuirty up to scratch, then everyones work load triples and I'm the single most hated person here happy days lol, I love my job.

Im was going through my attempt at a website, and shock shock horror horror i actually began to understand how / why CSS is used.

Thanks to Zim, i even started to edit the CSS directly, not just whacking more code into the HTML like i would have before - i almost felt that a proper web designer! Ive got some plans, and no doubt ill cock it up... so keep your xfire up. This sounds cheesy and rather homoerotic, but you banging on about CSS all the time has actually made me want to go back through and streamline all my code. Cut the crap and understand what ive got. Im aiming for W3C validation, a decent header and a full CSS drop down (zomg) - no fucking javascript.

Thanks Zimmer.

<3

P.S. can you tell me why i have 2 CSS files... it begins

Karma, give me a shout if you need any help with your drop downs. Back then I did yours quickly and stupidly. If you want me to help with a completely CSS menu, don't hesitate to ask.

You have 2 CSS files just to separate data, I guess. You can put them both together if you want.

I would be glad to help with your site. You know I always answer my Xfire.

Seriously though Zimmer (as I just said in Xfire), all the effort that goes into these tutorials does not go unnoticed- it is much apprechiated.

edit: sorry for the double post, deleted message above

I demand this and this gets stickied! They're awesome, and I'm sure anyone would like to use them. Otherwise, why not make a Tutorial section, where we could add the old graphics tutorials as well?
