Chris, (both) Axandra newsletter often talks about google blocking pages that use 'hidden' text, and I read also that display:none is considered a 'hidden' text. Though I didn't read the two in the same article, which is why I'm wondering if my concerns are correct. I did contact google with...

Hi Dan, thanks for your help. I didn't know about reader css - but am reading up on it now. thanks so much for putting that out there! Anne _________________________________ organic and textured designs for websites that stand out http://www.annestahldesign.com

Hi All, I keep reading that text hidden in CSS is considered spam by google (and others). I also read that at best, screen-readers ignore such hidden text. This would mean that we cannot use CSS based drop-down menus! Does anyone know if this information I'm getting is accurate and correct? If...

Hey, thanks so much! I really appreciate it! I guess I'm going to create a css menu for them now for sure, Anne _________________________________ organic and textured designs for websites that stand out http://www.annestahldesign.com

I'm having a conversation with myself, but I thought I'd owe it to the forum to post the solution to at least the 'BEHIND' issue. I corrected the z-index which had escaped me earlier. However my question about the css dropdown and the use of include files in general are still open... cheers Anne

ps. also: what's the general consensus of using CSS to create the drop downs. I'd like to replace the mile long jscript with the relatively simple css dropdown code. is it search engine/browser friendly?

Hi all, I'm doing some redesign on a website that is all .asp. (http://www.mindbodysoftware.com). Personally I don't see any reason why, but then I'm a designer not a programmer. I have added some new images and changed the multiple nested table to be one table (which eventually I'd like to get...

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is possible. I'm trying to create a center image with areas (not rectangles!) that become rollover backgrounds. I will write the text links in html, but simply want the opacity of the background image to change. But I can't get out of the 'box' i.e. can I use odd...

Another bizarre problem. I just bought and installed the new CS2 (education) on a xp windows laptop. I was unable to complete the installation, as the 4th disc kept getting spit out, as if it was the wrong disk. I rebooted and attempted to install it manually, but the pin key didn't work... so...

Hi all, thanks for all your input. Yes, I did enable file and printer sharing. Yes the printer is connected to the 'new machine'. The network is via 2wire and come to think of it, only the new machine has the matching 2wire pcmcia, the other one uses an old one. But both can connect to the...

Hi, I have windows xp home edition on both machines. I'm using SBC wireless DSL and set up the network using the windows 'set up a small business or home network' facility. I don't think I did that right, but at least it is working one way, and so I'm reluctant to change it... I also use...

Hi, I'm encountering a bizarre issue. I just recently changed my two pc's to a wireless network. Even since, unless BOTH machines are ON, I cannot open Photoshop on my new machine, it hangs and then doesn't respond. Any ideas??? Also, I cannot access my printer from the old machine. The network...

Hi there, I have a .ai file and need to send the printer a .raw file. I tried exporting the ai file directly from illustrator, or save as eps and pds then open in photoshop and save as .raw. Either way, when I open the raw file in Photoshop, it's totally garbled. Tons of tiny stripes... any...

Yes, I use the DW MX in work and that's exactly what comes up, but now I have DW MX 2004 and I'm not finding any such option anywhere...

Cheech, I believe the problem is with DW MX 2004 - when I tested the software I had the MX version (not 2004) and it did indeed show the setting options you talk about. But now in 2004 it just says: http://www.annestahldesign.com/images/DW_screenshot.jpg Not sure now, if there still is a way to...
