Web Programming

This column offers a helpful "cheat" for programmers seeking to have a vertical background color extend all the way down the page. A quirk in CSS sometimes results in making it difficult for columns to extend the full length. The solution is to create a vertically tiled background image that "forces" vertical columns to extend all the way.

This is a web hosting company I've used for the past six years or so. It used to be called Catalog.com. I give it a decent rating. The administrative control panel interface is easy. Hosting packages provide for MS SQL Server, wordpress installations, metrics, spam sharks, email, ecommerce, php and fairly speedy support help. One annoyance: Webhero is constantly changing its price structure every 6 months or so. Sometimes hosting is free, then it costs a little, then it is free again. Economic survival online is an art these days, (I work for a newspaper) so I can't blame them too much. I currently own three domain names, and all of them are registered with this company.

Five basic rules to follow when converting from traditional HTML to XHTML 1.0. Librarians are good at explaining stuff.

I'm finding this page to be very useful. It has many different "cheats" for not only CSS but other web development programs.

This is extremely helpful...thanks!

These cookies are so delicious, you'll be thanking God for your taste buds!

This is a short little video comparing the difference between HTML and CSS to the difference of black/white or color photographs. The pictures are from a vacation to Sanibel Island, Florida and the West River in Guilford, CT.

Adds a toolbar to Firefox with tools and drop-down menus that provide a means to create and view various parts of CSS and Html files. Seems to be useful as a learning tool as well as a development tool.

Used this before Firebug came along. A fine tool.

Here is an updated link to my recipe for Red Zuppa Di Mussels, enjoy!

Missed closing the "header" div (that is, you're missing the closing bracket). Haven't tested to see whether it renders in browsers other than Firefox, but need to be careful of such issues. Good job here.

This is an article that gives you time saving CSS-techniques. It is a cookbook of web-architect shortcuts. The Links and References section also has a list of other valuable resources as well.

More tricks and techniques you can use to make your site better with CSS. This site links you to various others to provide you with tips and codes you can utilize.

I read through this site and the tutorials. It was a little on the wordy side, but for me, it's almost a bit easier to understand. For those of you who are still teetering on CSS, this might help, it's working for me. (I'm not getting paid to say that either :-P)

Just another cheat sheet for CSS terms, lists, etc...

I came across this site and found it to be a good reference (cheat sheet) when it comes to doing CSS.

I came across this site, from the same provide that I found some good stuff for HTML. This is a great tutorial set up to help beginners like myself get a better idea for 'STYLE'
