Web Design Competition #2

Could you please give exact definitions of the terms 'HTML', 'CSS', and 'images'? Specifically, what file formats are permissible for images? Must the HTML and CSS conform to some W3C recommendation, and if so, which recommendations do we have to choose from? (If not, then what should we use to define what is meant by 'HTML' and 'CSS'?)

Hiya Sam,

I've put these limits on so its 'back to basics' somewhat, so no php, flash etc. Not sure how else to describe HTML (.htm or .html) and CSS. (.css)

Images can be anything that shows up on a website so they are going to be .png, .gif or .jpg

Hope that helps!

If we take the first design competition as a model, Sam, I believe we were more interested in (and people voted for) the overall final product, and not so much the code that was used to get there. So basically, HTML or XHTML would satisfy the code requirements, And I suppose it would only make sense to use CSS2 if you intend to use CSS (Using CSS isn't required). Some people wrote their code to validate to the doctype they chose, where others didn't. I would say work towards having the best "final product".

Is there any way that we can use dhtml? Like for a menu effect?

If you can do it with CSS only, yes, but not likely since DHTML assumes javascript needs to be used.

Yeah thats true. Well I am already done with my entry Ill be posting it soon

and a thanks to apsblackbelt2 for hosting

view it in firefox, if viewed in ie the png logo will not show right

Nice going so far to both of you. I would encourage you to work on that cross-compatibility issue, tho. That's an important piece of design! As I see a great similarity between this and the first competition, I'll be sitting this one out if a decent turnout shows. I might throw something together towards the end to encourage more participation if needed, but hopefully the submittals will be numerous. Good luck to all!

Thanks UPS......seems like you've been out for a while, so welcome back

Thanks UPS
the only thing that looks diffrent is the logo

Id say it looks better in FF personally.

I would like to ask you if it allowed in HTML pages to be included Flash .swf

apsblackbelt2: *yay* for Queen!!! I'm so glad someone younger is actually into them

cowkiller: ooo system of a down - the only song of theirs I like is chop suey. the rest are a bit scary for me

corazon: nope, not flash this time
