Frask: just stick to the standards
Hahaha i always like to push myself
Just because M$ invented it, everyone now thinks they need it.
Why not put it in a site? If it's possible to make changes to them than why not? it can make the site a lot more design-full. Just imagine that you have build a site with a black background. And suddenly when your page gets too long you have a long white bar on the right side...ok i admit that it's not nessecary to change it but i like it when the color matches the site his colors.
By the way, Dreamweaver.... isn't that one of the WYSISWYG editors? Couldn't ever get warm with those. Have you ever looked at the code they create? Mostly unreadable...
Whahaha
yes indeed DreamWeaver creates a huge amount of code where are look at and think : "
"
For some reason.. it really works tho. And there are some parts that speak for itself and where you can make adjustments easely.
But it's not enough to know just DreamWeaver, you also have to understand most of the code that you make because DW can't do everything that you can do with just codes...
the main advantage that DW gives you is that you can make things that are just a "can't do" in just notepad or other design programs. I use it for making dynamic things in my site like mouse-overs/menu-over/behaviors.
to give you an indication... there is what DreamWeaver creates in an empty page when you make a simple Mouse-over effect:
<script type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;
}
function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++)
if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
}
function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;
}
function MM_swapImage() { //v3.0
var i,j=0,x,a=MM_swapImage.arguments; document.MM_sr=new Array; for(i=0;i<(a.length-2);i+=3)
if ((x=MM_findObj(a[i]))!=null){document.MM_sr[j++]=x; if(!x.oSrc) x.oSrc=x.src; x.src=a[i+2];}
}

</script>just take a look at the css for this very page
I will...
Maybe you've been reading the wrong design guides up until today... Tongue
Hehe I don't read them at all actually
just trying out a program when you get it
and learning from my dad who knows a lot
Personally the prime requisit of a web page is...........that I can READ it!
Of course the main focus of a site must aways be to inform people of what they want to know. But the next step is.. How do i present that information? And that's where design comes by. The design of a page is not about "how can i install as many whistles, bells and colors on my site (nice example
) but about making a site easy to come in and easy to get what you want in a fast way. AND of course design is that it's nice to look at.
for short : The eye also wants some :p (a bad translation from Dutch
)
