I have no idea what your trying to say or who this was directed to, so please improve your grammar.

I knew something like this would happen, that's what I hate about this forum.

My Tip
When coding use "Clear:" to your advantage, it can help alot.

validation ensures that your site is to W3C specifications and since browsers are meant to render via the W3C specifications this will reduce the numbers of mal-formalities or errors on your webpage accross browsers. As for you HabbDance I accept that for no. 3 but for no. 2 you so stole that off me :P

Thank you for giving a useful tip :)!

+rep if i can :]

My Tip
When using padding rememebr to deduct the pixels off the width or height ;)

Example

HTML Code:

---

.class {
width:12px;
height:12px;
}

---

if you wanted to pad some text in from the left side by 2px. You would add padding-left:2px;

HTML Code:

---

.class {
padding-left:2px;
width:12px;
height:12px;
}

---

But now the actual width is too much. You must deduct 2 off the width to make it right.

HTML Code:

---

.class {
padding-left:2px;
 width:10px;
 height:12px;
 }

---

I use this in my code so the boxes dont go outside the main div

Code:

---

        clear: both;
        overflow: hidden;

---

If that counts as a tip?


Lool

My Tip
When using photoshop mess around with the transparency to get the result you want.

Another good tip :]

Another (Yes Iszak I actually got this from you ;))

Coding Tip:
don't use position absolute unless you really need to, and even then set the parent to position relative

Designing Tip:
If you don't have photoshop, you can use: http://iaza.com to add special effects to images.

@habbdance

I think he's basically saying,

If Iszak has told you not to use W3Schools, you must be looking for websites, and being a beginner, and he is saying you must not know how to code, and you would not know if there is errors or not.
