CSS - About Css Websites Being Updated By People Without Technical Knowledge.

Hello,

I used to run a blog at vritti.net which I took down completely and am nearing the final steps in finishing off the new product. A peek can be had at what is coming at http://www.vritti.net/mt/main

I want to make 2 aesthetic changes to the main text area ? 1. Give the text some space to breathe in and 2. Encase the text rectangle in a rounded rectangle so that it gives something solid for the racquet (and other randomly generated images) to lean on.

I request you for this help. Thank you.

Hi,

Sorry that I come up again with a question about using css positioning to replace frames, but what I want seems to be quite different from what most people do. I would like to use cssp to replace frames. One site is uising frames with a top frame with the "header" of the page (image, name, some buttons, etc). This top frame should always remain visible. Below that should be a second frame. This frame should fill up the rest of the page. In frames, you can define the height of the top frame and give an * for the bottom frame, which means it fills up the rest of the page. If text runs out of that second frame, you just scroll down.
With 3 collumn css positioning with a header, like on glish.com, the header always scrolls out of view if you scroll down with the text. I don't want that. I have been looking everywhere to see if I could find an example, but I can't. I have figured out most of what I want but I still end up with a bug, being the top of the scrollbar disappearing. I am hoping there is another way still with cssp to do what I want.
You can see the frames version of what I want op URL and the cssp version on URL
I hope anybody can help me with this. I am really desperate.
Thanks,

Dolf.

Can anyone please tell me what websites out there use CSS, basically i need to know because this will give me some general idea and so it will help me with my website, i am new to CSS and looking at others will give me some sort of a rough guide on how to imply CSS and to know the understandings of what CSS can do thanks for your help.

I apologize in advance if this question has already been covered in the past. I couldn't find any good threads on the subject.

I'm just wondering what Content Management Systems you use or recommend to your clients. I design my sites using css external files and I don't use tables for layout. Apparently, this causes problems with some CMS software (like Adobe Contribute).

Basically, I'm looking for a CMS that is easy to use, able to render CSS, and is not terribly expensive.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Hi,

I am new here, altough I have been comming here to search for solutions very often. I am a very great fan of CSS and have developed my own website (for my small bussiness) in pure CSS and XHTML.

Now, when I started developing my website I created a layout. I have stuck with the same layout ever since. This was my idea, altough the layout is used in different ways by other websites.

However something I did a lot was to browse other pure CSS websites. When there was something I liked I tried to recreate it (I never copied what other people did, always re-created myself).

The problem is that I started my website with the following colour scheme; Black, White and Red. After browsing some website I must admit that I did copy coloures from other websites. Again it is only the coloures I copied! All the implementation (CSS, Xhtml, JavaScript is my own) and when there was an image I liked (for example for the borders) I recreated it on my PC.

Now I am asking this question here because you people do CSS websites all the time. I know that some of you have been in this bussiness for some quite time and thus have the best advice on what should I do. Whether to leave my website as it is or else change it (note that I still did not launch my website). My question is related with Ethics as much as with legaility of what I did.

I am giving some extra detail of what I mean by copy the colour scheme and recreating images.

Copy Colour Scheme: Here I used a colour picker tool. I did not copy my colour scheme from just one website, but from various and used them within my layout (My layout is totaly different from the websites of which I copied the colours from).

Recreating images: This has been done for the borders and shading. Again I have taken ideas from different websites. What I did is see how they did it and then recreate it. Sometimes I altered the images to better fit my requirments. However I have some images which I recreated nearly pixle by pixle the same altough I am not using the same image that the websites are using (I have recreated a small part of it).

Now I checked the websites and there does not seem to be any copyright to protect images or colour scheme.

Also I am not planning to insert my website for any competition. I must admit i like the design I have but not really intrested in any awards. I am new to web development and the only reason I am creating the website is because I wanted a web presence.

Again, I have created all the CSS and HTML by myself using also some on-line tutorials. The only thing I see as a problem is the colour scheme and some images.
