[DUG] Website presentation

[Stephen Barker]

Hi John,
 
That site is doing it the "old" way with html tables. It works and is
reliable but includes a lot of extra tags in the markup which only relate to
layout and not content. The modern approach is to use CSS wherever possible
so the html source is cleaner. This becomes even more important if you are
wanting a CMS to let your users edit the content.
 
Some reading on rounded corners:

Hi Richard

 

What I was referring to is the 'nice' rounded boxes, like at
http://www.memoriestodvdonlinecom/ <http://www.memoriestodvdonline.com/> ,
where:

- the header is in

- the menu is in

- etc.

 

What is the name for this type of frame/border graphics?

 

Cheers

John

You need to be a bit more specific - can you point to an existing web page
and an element on such that shows us what you mean?

website where I can create any?
