Ask TDD anything!

[TDD]

I hope it's ok to ask about CSS.
I'm learning CSS and I have a few questions.
My WIP:http://hot.ee/kampsijunn/youcanttouchthis/index.html, yes I know that the design is horrid.

**Question 1: Why is the navigation list outside the #menu div? The #menu div cannot be seen at all, if I set a border to #menu, it appears to be above and behind the navigation list, although the navigation list is inside #menu in the HTML.

**Question 2: How can I remove that space between the navigation and the #wrapper edge without using a negative margin?

**Question 3: For example, the "Please" navigation block, how can I make the whole navigation block appear as a link, now only the text is a link.

The CSS can be found here: http://hot.ee/kampsijunn/youcanttouchthis/CSS/master.css

And if You happen to see any huge coding mistakes, You can point them out.

Thank You.

I'll look over it but from quick glances when i have time, your navigation problem mentionedi n question one seems fine, your navigation is aligned properly.

question 2: what's wrong with negative margins? I use them alot.

question 3: I'll try to find the tutorial i found a while back on that, and link you when i find it.

Are there any really good Pen tutorials? Because I've been looking around the google webz, and I have not found a good solid tutorial that will teach me how to use the pen tool. I remember talking to you a while back, and you mentioned if you want to get anywhere in photoshop, that you have to know how to use the pen tool.
So the Pen tool is one thing. (in example, using the pen tool to create a lego brick vector).


Secondly, are there any good tutorials that teach how to make good looking backgrounds, C4D's I believe they are called.


Lastly, what program lets you make animated pictures, as in, text that comes in and fades out, or a little person running across the screen.


Thanks!

Google is your friend when searching for tutorials. and as for C4D - i've neevr used the program, so i can't help you there. Animated pictures is easily achieved through Adobe ImageReady which comes with photoshop if i remmember right.

select your background layer, then make a new layer above everything, then go Edit->Stroke and chose the color black, and the size 1px, and make sure inside is checked.

I got the #menu thing fixed. And the link problem as well, I had put the padding to li tag, but it should have been set to the a tag.

The reason I didn't want to use negative margins was that then it will be all good in Firefox, but one pixel off in IE7, so I thought that maybe there was a more efficient way of doing this. But I'll negative the negative margin then, that 1px doesn't annoy me that much.

Thanks for Your help.

Ohh... one more question why doesnt my cs3 show the link things that you click and then you can merge the linked layers?
They are sposed to be next to the eyes that you click to either make the layer visible or not visible at all.

CS3 Extended. and WindowBlinds

mprovments?

First one is better, it has proper lighting, but the shadow below it needs to match the light and the spherical nature of the orb, so should the reflection.

i have CS3 extended
and in english lol ummm,
here is a pic:

See how thats just got the eye and not another box next to the eye to click to link the layers?
i need to know why it doesnt have the box to click so that i can just merge the layers that i have linked.
