design a site? how much?

[gadoo]

What is CSS?
 *CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets
 *Styles define how to display HTML elements
 *Styles are normally stored in Style Sheets
 *Styles were added to HTML 4.0 to solve a problem
 *External Style Sheets can save you a lot of work
 *External Style Sheets are stored in CSS files
 *Multiple style definitions will cascade into one

that didn't explain a thing! damn site ...hehe, thanks though...it sorta showed me that it can change the font and color of a backround with ease and whatnot...but that's not that hard anyways. It did answer one of my big questions, CSS won't solve my table problem.

I always like to desing my sites with a little theme...but I can't just drag the pics and drop them there, cause netscape users will see the pic all messed up, so I have to put it into tables, but tables never work the way I want them too! they always mess up, and move things around. like one I did for my old school.http://www.bell-jeff.net

and I have another question, you're not into web things, but you must be into it somewhat to know these things right?

I even forgot to put the damn title!
anyways...I'm making a new layout http://www.gadoo.net/bj and turning that into a table is horrendous. 800x600 or netscape users beware.

after that I realised that I can't even do this layout cause I need to make it comply with 800x600 users and netscape users...so I'm scraping this too!
but I just wanted to show you my problem...if anyone can help me out there...anyone?

I am into it enough to know that I don't want to do it for a living :p


Err, I mainly use Dream Weaver to create a template to make subsquent pages for the site.

If I need a special feature I usually look up stuff. Some how I usually know what scripting language I would need :\

Also if you read the news paper you can usually see what companies are looking for in a webmaster/designer.

I've made a few pages:
My old webpage which most of the content is offline sinceI killed the site after switching ISPs:
http://coolantx.hn.org/newPage/ <---DHTML menu

a-m-v.org pix:
http://kproject.home.attbi.com/amvorgpix/ <----CSS todefine the color of the scrollbars.

Mission Improbable Website:
http://kproject.home.attbi.com/improbable/

All of them were mainly done with Photoshop + Dream Weaver.

I've also been "programming" and into computers for over 6years. So I've had alot of time to tinker.

Assigning Z-INDEX:-2 on the loop picture cause it not to appear in Mozilla. I suggest make it Z-INDEX:0, while the rest (header & footer) Z-INDEX:1. As for the title "Bellarmine Jefferson", position it at Z-INDEX:2.


Frankly, I don't recommend using CSS POSITION or Z-INDEX to position text & pictures, because different browsers interprets them quite differently, such as the above case. So instead, just place your contents in table cells with calculated width. That way you can be sure that none of the contents will further from the borders. You can use table BACKGROUND and IMG to overlap pictures, although this require a bit of calculation & editing to those images. At least, use css/html positioning at very minimal.

making tables for things like this is soo hard...well for me that is.
