lack of naked women = phail.

anyways, i saw this last week and I thought it was pretty sexy but

<div id="center">
<div id="border">

<div id="table">

D-D-D-I-V Abuse!

You should only need one div for that (as the red strip, patterned background and border should all be styled on body/html element).

[Andross]

The red strip and bg IS a background element, but the border is not.

I required three to get it centered properly. I might be able to cut off one div, but I was having an immense amount of trouble getting the thing centered with only one main, table div.

pwned.

I checked it in IE6/Opera 8.51 and FF1.5 and it's fine - no IE hacks or conditional statements. It uses three divs (content, featured work and recent work) which aren't needed as they can be replaced by selectors but IE is ghey that way...

I added a "skip to content" link so people who don't want to see the pictures/using a text browser/non-css/etc can just view the links to your work and the description for greater usability/accessibility.

Enjoy =)

Well thanks nick! I'll be able to slim up the code some more (even if it is only...six lines =O)

Next challenge: Figuring out an easy way to get this thing functional on a disk X|

[Nick Presta]

not to mention you have craploads of less CSS. and what do you mean, on a disk? use relative links?

>_>

no no no, I need to burn for a CD to actually hand in to my teacher, since that's apparently part of a requirement. So either I'm going to
a. Spend a long time converting crap to .html docs this weekend
b. See if it's possible for PHP to be burnt to a disc and then be used in such a manner that I can actually just throw the whole site on there w/o having to do anything else

My CSS was messy, I realize that. A lot of it was used on other pages though and simply not organized, so I'll just substitute changes you made yourself.

[Nick Presta]

Um, you can't use PHP on it's own without a server or else the stuff will appear as plain text "echos and such".

Just do this, visit your site on the interwebs and then go to file > save as > save into a folder.

That's the fastest way.

[Andross]

yeah yeah, I understand that, it's just tedious is all =P

I know I have to have a server, yes, that would entail burning PHP and the server - bah, forget it, I'll just be saving lots of files this weekend. Thank GOD all of my fugging projects are out of the way and it's just worksheets before my finals.
