best practice for putting one picture of another

[Mark Parnell]

No good at cricket?!?!

That's what I said (rather tongue in cheek, I might add).

Does the batter in a cricket game have to swing at a ball going 93 miles per
hour?!?

Depends on the bowler. The record is just over 100mph.

I was living in Boston in '86. I saw the ball go through Buckner's legs.
We all were crestfallen. We were THAT close.

This year is gonna be different. I can feel it in my bones... no, that's
arthritis...

Curse is lifted...

page...


This is an inherently broken design.

Why are you locked in to this fixed-width fixed-height design? This is not
a printed brochure!! I understand that it is at the behest of the client,
but, to go along with the rant in the thread that forked off a few posts
ago, *you* are the web designer, not the client. Tell them that in your
professional opinion, they are making a mistake by so tightly controlling
the design of the site.

A web page can have some fixed-size elements but should incorporate enough
fluidity to account for varying amounts of content. The web is NOT A
PRINTED PAGE!!!!

First off, I would dash the whole fixed-height box thing to pieces.

Then consider ways to lay out areas that will be able to contain varying
amounts of text.

Dear Jeffrey

call me a control freak, but all websites i create i work with the idea that
I know what is going on from pixel to pixel. It is all about looks.

I know, sounds pretty silly and I should probably change that concept, but
if it works then that is great.

Kind regards

It must *really* frustrate you when your viewer changes her font size and
all of your perfectly crafted pixel specified designs fall completely apart

I am here to tell you: It Does Not Work.

Yes and yes.

Except that it doesn't work.

Needlepoint was funnier. I win.

 

[Mark Parnell]

Needlepoint was funnier. I win.

I wasn't going for funny. But you can win if it makes you feel better.

It does. And I thank you.

/i win, i win, nyah nyah
