    HTML5/CSS help - Thumbnail gallery & other cross-browser issues

    Having (apparently!) fixed the other issues, I'm just getting to thinking about this part... You're right rogan, I certainly don't want the horizontal navbars becoming two lines when the window is resized, but would rather have them stay on a single line and for scroll bars to appear when one...

    Could someone help me with drop down menu's?

    I used this tutorial successfully: http://www.devinrolsen.com/pure-css-horizontal-menu/ I like that it is, as promised in the name, purely based on html & css.

    HTML5/CSS help - Thumbnail gallery & other cross-browser issues

    I'm hopeful that I've solved the issues! I'm appropriately tired now, but here's a rough idea of the issues & solutions as I understand them... Because we have written the site in HTML5, nesting block-level elements inside an anchor is actually perfectly fine. I think that part of the...

    HTML5/CSS help - Thumbnail gallery & other cross-browser issues

    Thanks. Does turning the "summary" and "price" into spans give the problem that one can't apply a width to them? We give a width to the "summary" so that even long summaries fit within the image rather than overflowing...

    HTML5/CSS help - Thumbnail gallery & other cross-browser issues

    Thanks Tripnologist, it is definitely helpful & I'm happy to learn, so don't worry - constructive criticism like that is precisely what I'm after. I've suspected that some kind of block vs. inline issue was at fault myself, but can't quite get to grips with it. I certainly want the whole of...

    Cross-Browser Compatibility

    Thanks. It sounds like my routine is pretty decent then. I'm beginning to see what people mean about IE now as well!

    Cross-Browser Compatibility

    While putting together my new website, I've started wondering... What browsers & versions thereof would you say it is necessary/best to check the compatibility of a website on? I guess that a bare minimum would be to check how one's website works on the most up-to-date versions of the most...

    All looking good on Firefox 11.0 on Mac! Thank you

    HTML5/CSS help - Thumbnail gallery & other cross-browser issues

    Thank you. I only installed Firefox last week myself, in order to test the design, so I assumed that I had the most up-to-date version, but something must have gone awry - I'll check that at least... It would be nice to figure out what is throwing it off regardless, and we definitely need to...

    HTML5/CSS help - Thumbnail gallery & other cross-browser issues

    Here is how it looks in Safari on Mac: In Firefox 3.6.12 on Mac however, for example, the gallery falls apart and everything cascades across/down the page, rather than having the image captions and prices overlay the images... In IE on Windows it does the same kind of thing, but in...

    HTML5/CSS help - Thumbnail gallery & other cross-browser issues

    With the help of a friend, I'm working on a small mail-order website, but we're having some problems, in particular with getting the image thumbnail gallery we've set up working on IE and some versions of Firefox... It also seems that the header banner isn't working in IE. There is some...

    recommend me 500gb drive for IcyBox NAS

    The list of recommended hard drives on the wiki is pretty small, I guess because it's drawn from individual users who could be bothered to submit information to it, rather than from rigorous testing, so... Anyone tried the 'Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 750GB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM...

    Any idea when OCUK will be getting this new IcyBox NAS?

    As wombraider asked earlier, I'm also wondering if you can connect USB hubs to the USB ports and then be able to add further harddrives that way to bulk up storage capacity? Anyone tried it even with just a couple of extra USB external drives running on the USB ports? Either for backup, or...

    -5 V reads +3.55 V in Everest & Abit EQ (Corsair PSU)

    Thanks all - I'm very glad to hear that it's nothing to worry about. The computer's been running fine all night, so fingers crossed it stays that way. I was so relieved when it booted up ok after the installation of the new PSU. It was a bit of a gamble, since I'd not managed to get hold of a...

    -5 V reads +3.55 V in Everest & Abit EQ (Corsair PSU)

    I just installed a new Corsair HX 520W PSU in my computer, which is running an Abit NF7-S motherboard. As far as I know I connected everything I should have correctly. It booted up fine first time round after the installation and appears to run fine, with no obvious problems within a 15 minute...

    Procedure for testing after a PSU blow out?

    Back to square one... B*gg*r - the Abit NF7-S has two power connectors, the standard 20-pin and an additional 4-pin, while the PSU only has a connector for the standard. It's also lacking the connectors for the various fans on the board. Maybe I could connect it without these, but it all...

    Procedure for testing after a PSU blow out?

    Thanks. Yep the graphics card is in an AGP slot, I can't ever seem to recall what card it is. I haven't checked that it's even the right kind of power supply yet, but fingers crossed. Otherwise it's back to square one... :-(

    Procedure for testing after a PSU blow out?

    My PSU blew last Saturday, but I've only just managed to track down an old PSU to test my computer with and I'm looking for help on how best to test what, if any, other components were taken with the PSU when it blew. I have an Abit NF7-S motherboard, with 2*256MB RAM, cheap GFX card...

    AM2 Motherboard Choice

    Thanks for the advice decto. I was thinking of getting 2GB of RAM, since arguably the main use of the computer will be for photo processing. I shoot in RAW with a Canon 5D, so have to handle large RAW and JPG files with Canon DPP and Photoshop. I was under the impression that the amount of...

    AM2 Motherboard Choice

    I'll price up a couple of specifications using the two different platforms and see what the price difference actually comes out at overall, then I can consider whether it might be worth it or not. I suspect that, what with both the Intel CPUs and motherboards being generally more expensive (at...
