What motivates us [ November 26th, 2011 ] Posted in » Web Design
A great video about motivation:
CSS Image Rollovers with No Javascript
Up until recently I have always relied on javascript to create image replacement and
image rollover techniques and haven’t really thought about alternatives. As far as I was
concerned javascript was just the way it was done.
The problem with javascript is that the rollover image has to be preloaded for it to
create a smooth effect and it doesn’t work in all browsers, especially with many people turning javascript support off for security reasons
ASP.NET 2 LoginView Inside FormView Data Binding Problem
I was recently working on an ASP.NET 2 application which uses the SQL Membership Provider for User Role Management. While customising the output of the forms in the admin area using the LoginView I encountered a bug in asp.net 2. This bug wasted a lot of time debugging and scratching my head wondering what was wrong.
Free Flash Charting Control for ASP.NET, PHP and More
I have recently been working on a management dashboard for an e-commerce website and needed a good charting control to display an overview of sales, registrations etc.
After a brief crawl on the web I came across Fusion Charts. The controls are as neat and easy to use as any of the premium solutions I could find, but best of all, the basic package is completely free, even for commercial use.

ie6 png transparency
ie6 png transparency problem example image
I recently encountered an issue regarding png transparency on older browsers whilst developing a website targeted at schools.
The web site used png transparency to display rounded corders and tabs over a sky background. It worked well in all modern browsers but in ie6 and lower the png transparency was replaced by an ugly grey box.
Due to the project specifications identifying ie6 in the browser compatibility list it was necessary to find a solution to the problem.
I spent some time researching possible solutions and tried a few out, some worked, some were difficult to implement and others just didn’t seem to work at all. After some time I settled upon a solution and have documented it with the following example:
The solution involves 2 methods for dealing with png transparency, one to handle img tags in the html and one to handle css background images. I have also documented how to overcome the issue with non clickable links after implementing the css only png transparency solution.
Google de-indexing BANS web sites
For those of you who aren’t familiar with BANS it is a great php script that makes it very easy to Build A Niche Store (BANS) and works with the eBay Affiliate program. You can find out more about BANS at http://www.buildanichestore.com/.
Unfortunately it appears that Google is currently targeting these stores and removing them from their index. This is because in the growing popularity of the BANS system there has been a huge influx of BANS stores, many of which are regarded as “Thin Affiliate Sites” or “SPAM Sites”.
Pacweb Launch New Web Site
This is the new web site for Pacweb Internet Development.
Pacweb have decided to use the popular open source blogging application Word Press as the platform for our new web site.
Word press enables us to quickly post new content and update articles from anywhere with an internet connection. With content being the main focus for the new web site we feel that Word Press is the ideal solution.
Stay tuned for up and coming articles, services and discussions on Pacweb.
