Introduction to CSS

21 April 1998 / Leave a Comment

Style sheets (or to give them their full title, cascading style sheets or CSS) are becoming more and more common on the Web. They were first introduced in a limited form to Internet Explorer 3.0, and are recognised by nearly all modern browsers.

This tutorial will show you what style sheets are, when to use them, and (hopefully) how to use them!

Opening Windows with JavaScript

5 December 1997 / Leave a Comment

One of the most useful (and quite possibly the most abused) features of JavaScript is its ability to manipulate browser windows. It can be very handy for creating a pop-up navigation.

Multiple pop-up windows can be a real pain, especially now that certain free web space companies are getting in on the act as a method of advertising, so go easy on them. A good rule of thumb is: if you’re opening two new windows, you’re opening one too many!

Using Photoshop’s Zoom Tool

27 November 1997 / Leave a Comment

Photoshop’s “zoom” facility is very versatile and allows you to zoom in and out of an image in many different ways. You can even have different views of the same document open at once, with different zoom levels!

Common HTML Meta Tags

10 October 1997 / 2 Comments

You may have heard talk of HTML meta tags on the Web, most likely in connection with search engines. This is because one of the common uses of meta tags is to give search engines additional information about your web page when they index it. In fact there are over 200 different types of “meta-information” that you can place in your Web page with the aid of the HTML meta tag.

Introduction to JavaScript

21 September 1997 / Leave a Comment

JavaScript’s a great language. I love it. It may not have the speed or power of Java or C, or the tight integration of ActiveX, but on the plus side it’s interpreted (no messing about with compilers), fast to load, easy to debug and it embeds itself neatly into your web page.

Most important of all, it’s easy to learn. Hopefully if you’re fairly new to the language, these tips will help get you started. Even seasoned JavaScript coders may learn a thing or two from these tips – you never know!

This tutorial shows you how to get started with JavaScript. We’ll look at how to embed JavaScript in your web page, and how JavaScript talks to your web browser. I’ll illustrate these points by building a simple program to display an alert box when the page is first loaded.
