  1. Re:Is Dreamweaver good? on Dreamweaver Is Dying; Long Live Drupal! · · Score: 1

    I am not using Vim to create/write HTML and CSS. I am not using Dreamweaver either. I use a nice text editor like Geany or NotepadPlus (both open source projects btw) to write HMTL and CSS. Not because it is faster than doing it in Dreamweaver, it's actually slower. But because I enjoy it better like this. I have both, more choices and more control over what I am doing.

    Yahoo forces you to pay for the privilege of POP access to your own data.

    I am nitpicking but they still offer POP in their non-.com domains. But yeah, I didn't like it that they removed that :(

    Still, whatever the underlying motivation, it's encouraging to see big pharma at last getting more involved with the poorer nations of the world, which have been scandalously ignored.

    Involved with the poorer nations eh? :) There is a nice book by John LeCare, "The Constant Gardener". There is also a 2005 movie.

    Javascript IS basic functionality. Welcome to 1990.

    And what's that supposed to mean? That we have to use it just because it's there? Have you seen a website using JS for links? For menus? Or even for layout?! It's horrible and it brakes. There are valid uses for JS but these three are not.

    Heeeey dude. First grab Stylish for Firefox. It's an extension that overrides the CSS of the page: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2108

    Then try some Slashdot overrides: http://userstyles.org/styles/search/slashdot

    I used one of these and tweaked it a bit to fit my taste. Here it is:

    Once the sharers discover about this they will hack the file to remove the 500MB and make it download (and upload) faster. You can't do this in the open. But it would be neat!

  23. Re:Whatever on Freelance Web Developer Best Practices? · · Score: 1

    After some time with CSS you will simply think in

    s. It is true that it takes me about 5% more time to make a table-like layout (because CSS can do non-grid layouts too that would have been impossibly difficult with tables) with CSS today that what it would when I was in my peak as table "coder". But the benefit of having one central location for all styling really covers that extra time.

    As a sidenote to that, have you seen what CSS3 border can do for you?

    You just prefer the old ways, it's a case of YMMV.

    It's kind of lame to answer again but here it goes. I see that another slashdoter gave this very handy link with layouts. Can you find here what you were looking for? http://blog.html.it/layoutgala/

  25. Re:Learn CSS on Freelance Web Developer Best Practices? · · Score: 1

    You are still thinking in tables. With CSS you can think outside of the "grid" type of layout. However you can still do elastic layouts. Also google for "faux columns", you will that too I think.
