Hello Mustafa, I guess for a first one, well second really. My first was back in 2000 with not even a table just images and text and someone gave me one or two awards lolol
This new one should be a big improvement as I have learnt quite a lot from the lists I am on now. Its amazing how just watching questions and answers teaches you some of this stuff. HTML I am not too thick aabout but CSS apart from the very basic I *do need to study. I do need to study how frames work (naming) too. Many thanks Mustafa!

My first site was a table crap :) I didn't know what was going on. I decided to learn the nuts & bolts of HTML. My next site was table based but with a valid code. Then, I joined various lists, communities and saw what really was going on. Thought myself CSS. My first CSS site took a fair amount of time and I faced lots of newbie issues. However, with a little bit of research I overcame them. Now, I just hate the thought of table based layouts. However, that is not the topic of discussion :) I still use Dreamweaver, with "display styles" switched off (View -> Style Rendering -> Display Styles). For some minor edits I use "Textpad" on a PC. Its just a matter of preference. Re: The link[1] Ron gave, it is a "must-read" for someone starting out in web development. Make sure you go through the curriculum. Re: Embedding Flash, I have used the flash satay method, however, "swfobject" [2] is the way forward. Also, read extensively on Web Accessibility, Usability and Progressive Enhancement. *watches out for that someone with a big stick* [1] Opera WS Curriculum - http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/1-introduction-to-the-web-standards-cur/ [2] swfobject - http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/ - Mustafa ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
