- str3ama, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9good list, but I hate to say it - but most of those have already been listed individually on Digg. This is more like a collection of individual frontpage items from the programming/design section.
- Mith, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7This is so not true. There are probably loads of people who've been looking for a specific effect, and they'll find it in this list. Just because you know everything about CSS and web design doesn't mean a simple compilation like this can't help anyone else.
- stevenvh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+426. Don't use JPG for such graphic images like screenshots, PNG is your friend!
Other than that, nice list. - matthistory, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6You're one of those same pricks that used to brag about coding things by hand on notepad back in the day. Tools are made to be used. Just because somebody built something and someone else uses it doesn't make it a bad site by any means. If you've got a hammer, some nails, wood and directions to build a cabinet are you going to throw the directions and the hammer out and just try to do it on your own with your hands? Take your leetness somewhere else.

Yeah, it's fine using other people's code. Re-inventing the wheel is wasteful. But if you're going to use a wheel someone else created, then you better know how it works. Because many people who do what you describe don't. They create systems filled with snippets copy-n-pasted from somewhere else, with no real idea how the individual pieces work and, as a result, no idea how they interact with each other or the whole.
The result of which is that somebody else has to come in and fix their crap, usually one of those pricks who hand-codes everything and actually knows how to *program* instead of knowing how to copy-and-paste. - nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2So us lazy bastards don't have to look!

- str3ama, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5in case you didn't know: DIGG STARTED OFF AS A TECH NEWS / INFO SITE ..so of course it's going to have web design and programming material, if you don't like it you can head on over to Netscape and get all the entertainment gossip and goatcx links that you want.

They're great tips and I haven't seen most of them. I don't design unless it's for a demo or something (I'm a programmer), but there's nothing wrong with a good looking demo so I'm glad the author compiled the list for guys like me. It just so happens that I can use a few of these tips right now. :-) - NanoStuff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This year I'm gonna ask Santa for a box of widgets. I'm curious to see what he comes up with. I'm guessing I'll get a box of dead weasels, unless Santa is web developer during the off-season.
- noahhoward, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The 3d Box model is a very good resource for those of you starting out. It really helps to be able to visualize how your containers work.

- handler, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Repost.
- panique, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@anonym - yeah because I guess developers are way to dumb to use guides in Photoshop to determine the designers' exact intent of placement. And definitely too dumb to take a screen shot and compare it to the source work from the designer.

You just couldn't be any more wrong.
Dividing the job up like that is a sure-fire way to produce bad work and make everybody mad. HTML and CSS are a medium, just like paint and pixels are media. Trying to separate out the creative from the technical is just wrong. - noahhoward, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Change the two to a one and see if they did a good job implementing their links.
- Chongo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2dude... no matter what school you go to to learn these things, you will never ever learn unless you see other peoples work, dissect it and make it your own.
It's the same with music. If you ask any famous or non famous musician who inspires them, they will probably list a bunch of other musicians. Something had to click in their head to learn how to be better at playing. Most of them just learned how to play the songs that inspired them.
So really people. Stop complaining about people listing things you might already know or that have been frontpaged before. There is always at least 1 person who has never seen it... isn't that worth it? - gottoseeit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Looks like it was just stolen from

- Drakazz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2I believe that nobody knows a good way to learn CSS and HTML:
Read the source!
Go to a popular page with valid and correct coding, look in the source and see how they do it :-))
By the way, CSS is for coders, not really for designers.
Designers design how a page looks, and developers implement it in CSS and HTML. End of the story :-) - iresh, on 10/12/2007, -2/+053 CSS Techniques : http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/01/19/53-css-techniques-you-couldnt-live-without/

- mikev, on 10/12/2007, -15/+6What is up with all these lame coding articles by lame websites? This is the second one today, and I think the 10th for the entire week so far.
This isn't helping anyone. You'll never learn if you don't try, and if you don't try you'll never improve. Don't kill the web by making kids who read something like this think they're designers.
