Images disappear in IE6
March 11th, 2008Yes, I, like most of you, still put up with ie6 and its plethora of CSS bugs. I tend to forget the easiest fix can sometimes just be
position:relative;.
I just fixed a problem I had regarding an image floating to the left of some text. The problem was that the image just wouldn’t show up in ie6. I tried the clear float solution, but to no avail. Then I remembered another solution concerning images, floats and ie6 :
img {position: relative;}
Works like a charm.
Top Web Designer Resources!
November 27th, 2007Here’s a great resource that has something for everyone. I thought I had come up with a pretty comprehensive design resource list when I posted Creative Alternatives and Resources. This is an amazing listing of links for designers and developers alike.
From working with Ajax, to XHTML character references, the link list given on forwebdesigners.com is pretty comprehensive. Some of these links you may have seen before, but alot are new to me. They even give you a link to suggest a link they may have missed. I have definitely bookmarked this site, you should too.
I’m sure you will find something useful - 332 helpful links for Web Designers
Drake Storm Studios Redux
July 3rd, 2006Yes you read that correctly, after five years of complaints about the old crappy site, I finally had some time to work on the Drake Storm Studios site. Hope you like it. I’m sure there will be tweaks made here and there. Like most designers, I’m never quite satisfied. In case you don’t recall what the old one looked like here’s a comparison.
Old Design:
New Design:
I think it’s way cleaner, not to mention, no tables. I used wordpress to make it easier for me to update, that way, it won’t go stale again. (I hope, LOL). Let me know what you think.
