Images displaying in Firefox but not IE (Internet Explorer)

Wednesday, October 19th, 2011

I recently worked on a website where images were displaying in Firefox but not IE (Internet Explorer).

I did a variety of testing. I thought it might be due to the way it was referenced or the format.

It turned out it was because the image was a CMYK jpg image. IE requires it to be RGB for it to display.

To make the image display correctly in IE. Simply paste the image into Photoshop or Paint, and change the settings to RGB.

The problem definitely had me scratching my head. Another reason to forget about IE

Changing The Magento Copyright Footer

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011

Im currently working on a Magento website and found it rather difficult to edit the copyright at the bottom of the page in the footer. I then found it if you go into the Magento CMS and go to:

System > Configuration > Design

In here you can find the copyright text box which you can edit as you wish

Changing The Colour Of The Underline In A Link

Friday, July 15th, 2011

You learn something everyday when designing websites. I have finally worked out how to display a link with the same colour font, but different underline.

The code is simple, the following displays the link in blue and underlined:

<a href=”URL”><span class=”blue”><u>Anchor Text</u></span></a>

The following code will display the link the same colour font as the paragraph, but the span controls the colour of the underline:

<span class=”blue”><u><a href=”URL”>Anchor Text</a></u></span>

This is because the span and underline is outside of the link.

Google Doodle Full Moon Red Lunar Eclipse – Live!

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

I love what google are doing right now. Check out google.co.uk and they have a live stream of the lunar eclipse as it is happening as a doodle. After the recent success of the Les Paul Doodle, they are just going from strength to strength with these doodles.

As a fan of the moon and stars im particularly interested in this Lunar Eclipse and its great to watch it unfold live on Google.co.uk!

The weather here in Stockport sucks so its probably my only chance to see it!
