The topic has been picked by last comp's winner!

Create a three (3) page website dedicated to "Colours". As the last comp's winner stated in the following quote:

Quote:
Since it has to be three pages, how about the participant can choose between primaries or secondaries colors. With each color, each page should represent a color but still, somehow, be involved with the other two. For example. I could choose red, yellow, and blue. All pages would have the same design (a well thought out design) but one page would focus on a red color scheme with a subject of apples. The next page would be the same design with a yellow color scheme and a subject of bananas. And, the last would be blue with a subject of blueberries. It could be anything really. A red, yellow, and blue car, bird, or pieces of art. It could be abstract thought as well, something like emotions or feelings associated with the colors.


Please create something new and fresh - practice your skills! ;)

Rules:

* Your entry MUST contain your username anywhere on each of the pages
* Webpage design is strictly HTML and CSS only (with images)
* CSS is allowed of course and can be in a seperate file
* Please place images and CSS (if seperate from the html) in the same folder. In other words, ONE FOLDER FOR EVERYTHING.

You MUST also, after posting your entry, PM me a link to a .zip or .rar file with the .html doc and images in the one folder so I can put them up on the server for the final votes (All work remains copyright of yourself).

Only one submission per user will be allowed.

You MUST have created the website yourself.

Any questions please ask in the thread. :D

Resolution: Please create with 800x600 users in mind.
Max total file size (inc images): 500KB
(Please ensure your entry meets the above before entering your piece - Entries not meeting critera will be notified by PM and given a couple of days to adjust it, but please get it right the first time) *poke*

Length: Competition closes Wednesday, May 25 2006 at 11:00 AM EST. Voting lasts five days after close of competition.

I think I am going to do something for this one, allthough I have little time.

Question: No Javascript allowed? I would only use it to make the css work in this messy browser we all know. :banghead:

Only 500kb for everything? Oh, so little... Well, we will see.

I mean IE6 of course.

For example it is only able to use hover classes placed in the <a> tag. ALL other browsers can hover on any element.

Things like

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]
div {
  background: red;
}

div:hover{
  background:blue;
}
  1. div {
  2.   background: red;
  3. }
  5. div:hover{
  6.   background:blue;
  7. }


he doesn't know and needs a javascript hack to do.

But nevermind, I think I can achive what I am thinking of without javascript

You don't need js for cross browser compatability.

Katmandu, for the record you don't have to have an "href" in the <a> tag. You can apply a class to <a> for example

<a class=red>Some text goes here</a>

where your css is

a.red:hover{
background-color:#ff0000;
}


and the text will produce a red background on mouseover.

Very basic example, but I know it works.

Strike the example I mentioned above. I was going from recall instead of doing. This works:

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
<title>Page title</title>
<style type="text/css">
a.red:link{
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
}
a.red:visited{
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
}
a.red:hover{
color: #000000;
background-color:#ff0000;
text-decoration: none;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a href="" class="red">Mouseover me!</a>


</body>
</html>
  1. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
  3. <html>
  4. <head>
  5. <title>Page title</title>
  6. <style type="text/css">
  7. a.red:link{
  8. color: #000000;
  9. text-decoration: none;
  10. }
  11. a.red:visited{
  12. color: #000000;
  13. text-decoration: none;
  14. }
  15. a.red:hover{
  16. color: #000000;
  17. background-color:#ff0000;
  18. text-decoration: none;
  19. }
  20. </style>
  21. </head>
  22. <body>
  23. <a href="" class="red">Mouseover me!</a>
  26. </body>
  27. </html>

IE does not like :hover applied to anything other than links, where as you can :hover just about anything in FF it seems.

By the way ATNO clicking at those empty <a href"">'s take me to the folder the file is in. I think that doesn't happen if you type <a href="#"> instead.

Yeah, forgot about that. It doesn't do that in FF, but I forgot IE does. Glad you pointed that out though. Just realized I have directory browsing still enabled there. Need to change that. lol

Aaaarg, I hate being first in a competition. Oh well, looks as though I might have to set the standard for this one. Good luck to all other entries. I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with.
