Design wisdom in red and grey.
That annoying IE peekaboo bug just doesn’t know when to stop. Apparently, even IE7 exhibits this bug, and it appears to be worse than its predecessor. If you happen to be pressed for time (or are lazy to search the Internets for a solution), applying a couple of stylesheet rules to the affected element should solve most peekaboo problems for both IE6 and IE7:
position: relative; /* peekaboo bug fix for IE6 */ min-width: 0; /* peekaboo bug fix for IE7 */
Just in time for the the holiday season, this Adobe® Fireworks® tutorial will show you how to create a silky, flowing ribbon; the type that you could slap onto your graphic elements to make them more festive. I hope you enjoy my tiny Christmas present.
For those of you working with relative font-sizes in your CSS, here is a basic equation for getting the exact size equivalent in ems, given a desired px value:
emr = pxt ÷ pxp, where
emr = result font size, in ems;
pxt = target font size, in px;
pxp = parent element’s font size, in px;
If you’ve ever had trouble establishing a naming standard for your CSS classes, or if you work closely with a developer who demands uniformity when assigning IDs elements, here are some conventions (as well as some of my personal preferences on usage) that should help you form effective, easy-to-remember and predictable names.
Sticky notes are little pieces of bright-colored paper with an adhesive strip on the back, allowing you to jot down reminders, checklists, or *gasp* passwords and post them onto a surface. This Adobe® Fireworks® tutorial will show you how to recreate them digitally, with a certain degree of realism, for your own design projects.
