I keep on looking for sites beside w3schools, but I usually get lost with the amount of info available. I really hope there were good learning sits in hebrew, especially regarding rtl languages, that seems to usually cause the most problems.

I read a post that mentioned Google Adsense. I have several websites and have thought of trying my hand with Google Adsense on one or two that have descent traffic. What is your experience here as far as ease of use/income potential?

a quick tip from me is use float:left rather than display:inline, and for anything too complicated use tables (they're not recommended by many experts, but google.com uses them, as does this forum. truth is there's no replacement supported by all major browsers)

this forum really needs a 10 or 20 post minimum before sig links are enabled

Thanks Wing Chun,

We're looking into implementing something like that.

We are leaving for the day in a few minutes so this is just a quick post. Check out this excellent page relating to Table use: http://www.webaim.org/techniques/tables/

With the ongoing discussion about table use and the various arguments for and against causing me some confusion, I tried to eliminate them from my new design. Then, I found some very interesting articles and books that argued in their favour and even suggested, sometimes emphatically, that they were on the way back. They also said that using tables with CSS wasn’t too difficult a thing to achieve…. So I read on and discovered that, indeed, “Tables have Class”.

Yes, you can allocate CSS qualities to tables and rows and data cells, very easily. As all that suited my purpose just right I applied it and found that all worked very well and very easily.

e,g. For my “Contact us” page –

/* Table to hold contact info on Contact Us Page */

table.contact {
width: 600px;
}

table.contact td {
border: none;
}

.contactleftcol {
padding: 3px 3px 3px 3px;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 80%;
text-align: right;
vertical-align: middle;
line-height: 1.2;
color: #711515;
width: 110px;
}

.contactrightcol {
font-weight: normal;
text-align: left;
color: #000;
width: 390px;
}

As applied in my page (there’s some PHP included to redisplay information and error messages) –


<table class="contact">
<tr>
<td class="contactleftcol" >
<span class="text1">Name</span>
</td>
<td class="contactrightcol">
<input type="text" title="Enter your name" name="name" tabindex="1"
value="<?php if (isset($_POST['name'])) { echo "$name"; } ?>" size="45" /> <?php echo "<font color='#ffffff'>$namemess</font>" ?>
</td>
</tr>
The above applies to the Name row
