Comment on WYSIWYG vs Handcoding by Aneudy

WYSIWYG is one of the reasons new programming students don’t learn to code very well. WYSIWYG makes them lazy! Inserts a bunch of “excrement” that you don’t really need. Take for example word processors. People would save huge amounts of space by using a text editor and mark-ups instead of a freaking WYSIWYG word processor.

Why all the fuss over IE6? Outside of China is a dead browser. See:

Hi Alex, We need your assistance

I want to use the expression code.

Below is the CSS code for normal and first-child
#mini-ctlg-tabs li a.active{
background: url(../images/tab-bg-active.gif) top right no-repeat;
border:0px solid #fff;
border-right:0;
color:#333;
padding:0px 30px 0 15px;
text-decoration:none;
cursor:default;
}

#mini-ctlg-tabs li:first-child a.active{
background: url(../images/tab-bg-first-child.gif) top right no-repeat;
border:0px solid #fcfcfc;
border-right:0;
color:#000000;
cursor:pointer;
display:block;
height:27px;
line-height:27px;
padding:0 30px 0 8px;
text-decoration:none;

}

Can you please help me with your suggestion or a similar sample code.

@Peter: you can try CSS 3 for this
body {
background-images:url(../images/bg-top.jpg), url(../images/bg-bottom.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-position: center top, center bottom;
}

but the worst thing is it will not work in older browsers.

Comment on How to center floating list (navigation) by Nataly

to:vlad
Гениальное решение с позиционированием по правому боку!!! Пол дня искала способ сделать выпадающее отцентрованное меню. Если делать float:left и left: 50%… то блоки выпадающего меню не показываются за область высоты основного блока меню.

You are correct! WYSIWYG was designed for noobs who don’t even know what the code means while looking at it.
