[DUG] Website presentation

Some more links:

http://www.cssjuice.com/25-rounded-corners-techniques-with-css/

 

Plenty of websites that generate the gfx/css (just google for "rounded
corner css") . but most of them only do simple single color shapes. If you
want something nicer looking (like the memoriestodvd.com thing with
gradients,borders,etc) then you need to do it yourself in a proper graphic
tool like photoshop or gimp.

 

The new HTML5/CSS3 will have better support (like the new canvas thing and
border-radius attribute) for making rounded rectangles . but you probably
need to wait another 3-4 years before marketshare of compatible browsers
(FireFox3, IE8, etc) is up there before using any of those new features.


Kind Regards,
Stefan Mueller

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:

and a very good article on Tables vs. CSS:

regards,

Steve

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?

Hi all

 

How can I create graphics frames for my website? is the a tool or perhaps a
website where I can create any?
