Professional ASP.NET 2.0 Design: CSS, Themes and Master Pages

Themes are a way to allow programmers to establish "skinnable" websites that can be programmatically adjusted for various purposes. A webmaster may decide that there should be a certain look and feel for site administrators while registered users see a different look and the remaining users see still a different view when they visit the site. This could include, among other things, completely different controls, graphics, and/or color schemes for each group. Users may want to set up a theme specifically targeted to meet the needs of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that removes all images and background colors and leaves the pages in stark contrast for that particular user group. Or maybe the developer just wants to let people choose the way they experience the site each time they visit.

Themes are very powerful and this book aims to highlight the potential of ASP.NET 2.0 Themes as well as their relationship to master pages and CSS in web applications today and illustrate many of the facets that can and should be included in theme development. While not specifically a designer's book, an overview of good web design and even a cheater's guide to PhotoShop will be included with the intent of taking the average ASP.NET Programmer and given them the knowledge to be "Renaissance Men and Women" of web design.

Specific topics covered in the book include:

- Browser, bandwidth, and accessibility considerations

- Use of color, fonts, multimedia

- CSS classes, elements, and Visual Studio CSS tools

- Master pages, child pages, and inheritance

- Consistent navigation and Site Maps

- Theme files, skin files, and applying themes

- A mobile theme example

- Basic PhotoShop tricks for Web Developers

YUI Library Moving to CSS-based layouts

YUI Grids CSS

The use of the YUI Grids CSS feature of the YUI Library added another level of acceptance via a tested solution. YUI Grids CSS provides a CSS solution for delivering page layouts that divide the page into areas.

A great aspect of the YUI Grids CSS feature is its A-level browser support, which provides the highest support level in terms of browsers. This means you don't have to worry about the quirks in different browsers when using CSS for layout.

CSS layout

YUI Grids CSS offers preset page widths and templates, along with the ability to nest and stack layouts to generate what you need. Yahoo boasts the capability to deliver more than 1,000 layout combinations with it. YUI Grids CSS is part of the YUI Library download.

We used the following features of the YUI Grids CSS feature:

|> The 100% page width is employed via the doc3 id attribute assigned to the overall

container.
|> The entire page is divided into three rows using three

elements. The YUI Grids CSS standard id attributes for header (hd), body (bd), and footer (ft) are used.
|> The header has three rows using two

elements and a

element. The

includes another

that uses YUI Grids CSS features. This includes the 100% page width (doc3 attribute), as well as a preset template that has two columns with the narrower column on the left with a width of 180 pixels. The narrower column is assigned the class id of yui-b with the larger column assigned the yui-main attribute. The two columns are used to ensure the breadcrumb appears above the content area of the page.
|> The middle or body row of the whole page layout is divided into two columns with a left column width of 180 pixels. This is accomplished with a predefined template employed by assigning the yui-t2 class to the body's

container. The smaller left column is designated with the yui-b class assignment, and the main area is designated with the yui-main class assignment.
|> The footer row uses the same approach as the body with two columns -- a left column of 180 pixels.
|> The smaller left column of the body row of the page contains a navigation menu. The menu is created with an HTML unordered list and styled via CSS.
|> The YUI Grids CSS is contained in one CSS file available in the YUI Library download. The file is called grids.css and has a small footprint of 4KB.

Untuk membuatnya cukup dengan hanya membubuhkan program di bawah ini :






Nah (dari tadi perasaan nah nah melulu , pake kata lain nape!... ) di dalam postingan anda, jika ingin tampil seperti itu maka yang di tuliskan tidak persis seperti kode di atas, sebab nanti di postingan tulisan kode tersebut tidak akan muncul, yang ada justru efek dari kode yang anda tuliskan. trus jalan keluarnya gimana? Seperti yang saya tuliskan pada tabel, anda harus mengganti karakter-karakter perintah yang ada dengan notasi penggantinya, jadi yang harus anda tuliskan pada postingan adalah seperti ini :

Untuk membuatnya cukup dengan hanya membubuhkan program di bawah ini :

<br/>

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10">


</meta>


Pembubuhan perintah dan adalah untuk menandakan bahwa yang anda tulis adalah sebuah kode HTML, dan nantinya pun tulisan-tulisan yang berada dalam perintah ini akan tanpil beda dengan tulisan-tulisan yang lainnya, sebagai contoh silahkan anda lihat postingan saya yang lainya yang membubuhkan kode-kode HTML. pembubuhan perintah

tadi, walaupun di posting-an anda tulis jauh kebawah, hasilnya akan tetap bersatu.

Memilih Template compamy indonesia

Sekilas tentang template

Mungkin sobat pernah mengunjungi beberapa blog di internet yang menggunakan blogger.com (blogspot), akan tetapi template yang di gunakan tidak ada dalam pilihan ketika memilih template. Ini ada kemungkinan bahwa template yang di gunakan adalah template buatan bukan dari blogger sendiri.

Di internet banyak sekali situs-situs yang memberikan template secara gratis untuk di pakai di Blogger (blogspot), Jika ingin melihat-lihat berbagai template buatan bukan dari blogger.com silahkan klik di sini. Tapi perlu di ketahui, karena blogger beta (baru) terbilang masih sangat baru sehingga penyedia template gratis kebanyakan menyediakan template untuk di pakai di template classic. Apakah kita bisa merubah dari template baru ke template klasik? Jawabannya bisa. Ini bisa anda lakukan dengan cara :

Klik menu "template", trus klik "Edit HTML". Kemudian lihat ke bawah layar akan ada tulisan "Revert to Classic Template" silahkan klik tulisan ini kalau mau pindah dari template baru ke template klasik. Tapi ada satu hal yang harus sobat ketahui, jika sobat berpindah dari template baru ke template klasik, sobat akan kehilangan fasilitas kemudahan dari blogger berupa hilangnya menu "Fonts and Color" serta "Page Elements", sehingga apabila sobat belum mengerti soal cara mengotak-atik kode HTML, niscaya akan mengalami kerepotan pada waktu mengedit sesuatu (menambah atau mengurangi suatu element). Jadi pikir-pikir dahulu sebelum sobat memutuskan untuk merubah dari template baru ke template klasik. Jangan tergoda dengan template yang cantik dari penyedia blog template gratis, apabila sobat belum bisa mengotak-atik kode HTML nya.

Eye template for blogger

I love this template. Thanks! I have one question…has anyone added a scroll bar to pages that have a lot of text? One page I created has a few paragraphs so they run over the stationary bottom bar and you can’t scroll down to see them when on a smaller screen. Any help would be great! more

Style Vectors - Create Sketchy

Illustrator is great for creating clean and precise illustrations, but some of the time you don’t want clean and precise. There are many illustrations that call for a sketchy or hand-drawn feel. Creating these effects are relatively easy with Illustrator’s Live Trace, Live Paint, Brushes and the ability to create you own brushes. Check out some of my sketchy illustrations on iStock for more inspiration.

Style Brushes 30 Free Sketchy

When creating the previous Create Sketchy-Style Vectors tutorial, I created a number of brushes. I started playing around with the brushes and was happy with the results. I ended up create more of the brushes so I can distribute them. These brushes are great for creating sketchy or grungy vectors. Just apply the brushes to any path or object!

Files to Photoshop - Export Illustrator

I love working in Illustrator, but ever once and a while, I need to export a file to Photoshop. Illustrator gives you the ability to export to Photoshop while preserving important information. You can export Layers, Color Profiles, Resolution Specification, and Text Preservation. This is great for exporting website wireframes or sprucing up illustrations.Go File > Export and choose Photoshop (psd) for the Format option, to bring up the Photoshop Export Option dialog. Here you can change the Resolution, Color Profile, Layer Options, Text Edibility, and so on. One thing to note is that your Document Color Mode has to match the Color Model in the export options for the ability to Write Layers.

What is vector marketing scam ?

Vector Marketing is the sales firm subsidiary of Alcas Corporation, a company that manufactures a diverse line of kitchen knives and accessories by the name of Cutco. The company doesn’t sell its product in stores, but rather through a one-on-one approach that involves personal demonstrations in the homes of potential customers on an appointment basis – the no cold-calling strategy is just another attractive aspect of job.

The opportunity for large profit is undeniable. Vector offers a guaranteed base pay of $16 per appointment or a weekly commission if it exceeds the money you earn from appointments. Commission varies from 10-30% based on your success, and even if you don’t make a sale you are guaranteed the $16 base pay. Considering that Cutco’s most popular knife set costs just under $1200, a Vector representative can earn well over $100 in just one appointment based on commission.

Troy Winkelman, a 19-year-old student from Wisconsin who worked at a ventilation fans manufacturer prior to Vector, was able to make $550 in just three hours of work.

“[Through Vector] I just paid for tuition, room, meals, gas, insurance, and repairs on my car,” said the Wisconsin College sophomore.
