Nevertheless, it seems this Adobe have quit doing the 35 day trials (I’m estimating becuase of piracy I don’t know) that’s a pain with my butt (damn pirates… arrr) Does anyone find out anywhere I can find a 30 morning trial. I’m guessing i can bittorrent a whole version but I don’t want some sort of pirate version! I simply disagree about it. Regards, John Runcorn While I cannot provide you with a direct connection to a free demo, from my days of buying magazines such since. NET (http: //www. netmag. co. uk/) were always giving away trials of Dreamweaver (not merely trials, full blown software to undertake anything you wish! ) They may have stopped this now, if the designers of said software package have stopped but you may could … Continue reading

Font size and other related attributes

Little is said in relation to setting font sizing and how it relates to other tags and layout and so forth. I never look at it too much until I learn that some ways are superior to others. The em is the best method, I have usually used points by myself. So my problem is: 1) What method would you use for font measurement, div widths, margins and many others, and why 2) Does a single size type affect other pursuits in the website layout Personally, I style with CSS since you should. Regarding font sizes, MY PARTNER AND I use percentages, eg Code: font-size: 120%; For div widths and many others sometimes I employ percentages, but largely I’d use pixels, for instance so Code: width: 800px; margins along with padding, always pixels Code: underlay: 20px 0px 15px 0px; margin: 0px; Why I merely do. It’s just the best way I learnt. Essentially yeah, it’s a good option to set the base font-size with the document and next size either with percentages or ems (which boils right down to the same issue for fonts) with specific elements. There are still templates to examine, including Blueprint CSS, YUI Fonts, along with … Continue reading
