Darn... so i`ll have to ethier have the page working fine on 15" and streched on 17" or Say crew uto the people with 15" hmmmm<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks<!--content-->Well, you could create your page using css to get a fluid layout. This way, your page would adjust itself to fit on any screen resolution.<br />

<br />
Unfortunately when I learned HTML in college, they never taught us that so now I struggle to figure out how to utilize the CSS tools in DreamWeaver and FrontPage.<br />

I get tired of trying to put everything in a table to control the sizes......<!--content-->Originally posted by havik <br />

Yea all i got taught in College was Html java and sum random codes..No Good pfft lol<!--content-->Well, at least you learned some Java coding..I never learned that stuff, and I was taking a two-year course in Multimedia....a total rip off at times.<br />
<br />
Just learned basic HTML...mostly learned about programs like PhotoShop, Illustrator (ish!) and the like.<br />
<br />
So I have to try and learn some of this stuff on my own!<!--content-->There are online tutorials that help. They are, some of the time, not W3C-Compliant, but they do help you learn something.
<br />
<br />
And CSS is awesome! It does, at first, appear difficult, but once you learn how to use it, it becomes a great ally.<!--content-->I agree, master it and it's your friend but if you struggle with it, it'll anger you
(not that that's ever happened to me 
)<br />
<br />
Havik<!--content-->If you "mostly learned about programs like PhotoShop, Illustrator (ish!) and the like" then you didn't learn basic HTML. Those programs use parts of HTML to trick a certain type of browser into behaving in certain ways. True HTML will work on all browsers. Read, mark, learn and inwardly digest the HTML 4.01 Specification (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/">http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/</a><!-- m -->) and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/">http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/</a><!-- m -->). You should shoot for HTML 4.01 Strict and level Double AA. <br />
<br />
The 4.01 Spec is a little dense. Like Kierkegaard, each section starts out with the formal positing of some idea which is explained in the folowing paragraphs. It's important to not get discouraged before you get to the explaining parts. Just keep reading over and over and stop when that first paragraph makes sense. I would suggest that you print out one section at a time and take it with you into the necessary each morning.<!--content-->Well, actually I DID learn some basic HTML...but not much..nor did we get introduced to Java, CSS or anything else pertaining to web design.<br />
<br />
That was why I was in college to learn about graphic/web design but they focused so much on graphic design that they neglected to introduce us to some of the basic codings used in web design.<br />
<br />
So now I have this Associate Degree in Multimedia and Computer Graphics yet I still struggle with Java and CSS.<!--content-->And I, with my Liberal Arts Degree, was able to pick up quite quickly HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Perl. You ought not to go to school to learn things but to train the mind.<!--content-->??? What was that supposed to convey?<br />
<br />
Well anyways, at one time I did have this idiotic idea of wanting to do character design for games and/or Manga...so to do anything like that I needed a degree.<br />
<br />
So the closest I could find was the Multimedia and Computer Graphics program..little did I know that they weren't going to teach us at least a little bit of ome of the basic codings used in web design....no JavaScript, no CSS, no nothing.<br />
<br />
Even in Photoshop class they focused on photo manipulations and rarely delved into using the filters..so whatever tidbits I know was from web tutorials...<br />
<br />
Nowdays companies want to see degrees...not just High School Diplomas....they don't give a rats keister about personal knowledge...just degrees and the like.
<!--content-->Indeed...Right now im doing a cmputer networking Degree. How Fun 
lol<!--content-->Computer Networking, eh?<br />
<br />
Sounds like that field is in more demand than Graphics...I am certain you will do just fine.<!--content-->Originally posted by Dark Dragon <br />

<br />
This is because for character design for games and such you don't really need to know about web design. What they taught you to do was create an image, or multimedia file so the actual web designer could then place it on a web page. Not that you have to put your designs on a web page, but they can be placed in a number of different forms, so that's why web design wasn't that much of a focus for your schooling.<!--content-->Yes, I am well aware of that aspect however I found that in order to learn actual animations and all, this knowledge I currently hold is quite helpful if not required.<br />
<br />
While web design is nice and all, it is not what I really was after. Though it did expand my personal horizon and I understand web and HTML matters better...but by the time I was nearly done with my training, I learned that another college elsewhere was teaching animation and game design...but since I spent nearly two years in Multimedia education..I am not willing to go through more college again.<br />
<br />
So I gave up on that childish idea I had and lowered my "expectations"....<br />
<br />
However as part of learning about web design, it would have been wuite helpful to learn a bit of basic Java and how to use the CSS tools in Dreamweaver...since most of the people in my class made their own sites in the first place...oh well.<!--content-->Originally posted by Dark Dragon <br />
