Hello all, is it too late to take the mid-term?
Yes Starlight
Hi Tawanda
Hi, ghatten
Thanx Ghatten ... I've been trying to take a graphic in PSP and give it a transparent b'ground .. but I'm soooo lost with how to do it :/ .. the help files don't explain it well at all.
k
You need to set up the preferences
to set the background to transparent
and then make sure the background color of the two colors selected is the same as the image background
Set the preference in the file menu
"Set File Format Preferences"
select .gif
and check "Set background color to transparent"
It works if you make sure that the color is solid and that it is selected as the background color in PSP
Starlight: when you have finished your graphic ... click on the eye dropper ... then right click on the color that you want to make transparent....
sheez .. that seems easy enuff.. thanx Ghatten .. I'll try it.
Then go to File... save as... in the popup window click on Options....
S'okay--you are right about it not being easy to find out how though
Should be a link to more details in Lesson 5
I'll try your way too flamingo thanx ;)
Then click on Set the Transparency value to the background color
Anna do you have any questions?
Any other questions?
if Not I have some Announcements!!
ghatten?
Yes Granny?
on my new pages? with the buttons and borders can I change that to cascading style pretty easy?
easily?
Hmmm
or would the backgrounds have to be the same on all pages also?
Granny - are you sure you want to? Not everyone will be able to seethe effects!
I think it would be okay to set up certain things that way
but it might just be best served by a "template" type of approach
well I thought I would try it otter, It might be easier, for future usage, when things change to cascading
that is what I am looking to do ghatten template!!
k - some students used it on their web pages --viewing with NS3.01I couldn't tell unless I looked at their doc. source!
that is the way it should be used
Worse thing I saw was a VBscript page
where half the page was invisible cause I was in Netscape!!!
so it shows up in ns as a normal page otter?
Argghhhh---I could tell words were missing
so let me ask is cascading only for ie? right now or netscape too?
If you used a CSS and it was not supported by the viewers browser they would see the plain text not augmented by the CSS
Granny - the pages I saw lost the font color, style, size ---just had no effect!!!
No, IE and NEts both support it to a degree
and to a different degree and interpretation at that!
but as a template ghatten it wouldn't matter true?
ah, I see otter, would have to watch the fonts styles ect.
Doing a template in HTML, with an eye to changing to CSS in the future would be fine
And in cases where you want to do something different on a particular page
I thought for the borders and buttons, I could use it, like a template, but if it affects the rest of the page, well? back to the drawing board
you could just override the LINKED style sheet
with a local embedded one or an inline change for the specific area
okay I can always try that ghatten, may have to find a new site, to experiment a bit
thanks will work on it
:)
What browser do you have granny?
netscape 3.1 gold otter
havn't upgraded yet
just got 6 gig hd, wanted to wait till it is in place and ready to go!
I got a couple of public service announcements
besides I have to fix the other pages, I just lost all my data due to stupid error, zonie is currently helping me with, thank goodness I got them on the web before I burned them
Windows 98 beta now avialable, CD $29.95
http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/
PSP version 5.0 beta 3 with gif animator
http://www.jasc.com/psp5bdl.html
Granny, what happened to your pages?
I was trying to tweek the borders and tables and lost it all!!
Zonie how much will PSP cost
now on my puter I have blank pages
eeewwwhhhh-that hadda hurt granny!
no price on it yet that I could find
Oh no!
But they are on the web?
yes they are dowie
So are you copying them from there?
zonie is helping me to retweek them
$69, I believe
yes that is what zonie said to do
is that called copy-right?
lol, Granny
* z-Granny-Wicked says can I copy my own page? Without fear of law suit
lol granny!
Unless you have money to give yourself...
only if you give yourself written permission
thanks ghatten that is all from me!!
hmmm....now that souonds like a good system
thanks richard I will give myself permission to do that
I have some announcements to make
she has oral permission
We're all witnesses.
giving yourself permission to copy your own pages sounds a bit like talking to yourself and answering
* z-Granny-Wicked said thanks ghatten I have been known to do that too
* Blossom^ slides the soap box over to Ghatten

?
* Otter will also supply a list of alternate' nicks!!! LOL
lol
lol
Yes Starlight?
lol
I'm still not sure what cell spacing actually does in a table cell padding I understand .. I use it cos I know I'm s'posed to .. lol .. but when I change the attribute for cell spacing .. nothing seems to change .. and if I eliminate it completely nothing seems to change either :/
my list is long alone
cell spacing should change the width of the borders
Cool question
The best way to "See" it is to make a little table as a test
I change the width of the borders with the BORDER="5" attribute
Set the cellspacing to something wild like 30
and then but some text in there
in tables with more than one cell
then do one with cellpadding
And with both
ok .. thanx Ghatten .. I'll play around with it a bit more ;)
?
anna - did you have a question?
yes, is there going to be a final? and in what form?
* Otter looks under the table for Ghatten!!!
* Ghatten is not under the table! Is on the table!
Ghatten has thrown the table out the window
try irc.wiregrass.com
lllllllll | lllllllll |
llllllll | lllllll |
lllllll | llllllll |
Starlight--copy that and try it
then delete the cellspacing a you should see the difference
Then add in cellspacing instead
thanx Ghatten ;) .. I have another question when you're ready .. sorry .. I seem to be full of them tonight
and you will get a clear picture of the differences
As for the final we have not set the format or date yet
so I have time?
I lost all of my links and have to start over...yuk
yes it won't be until the 8th week
that's a week after this
ouch
ok, will be working triple time...lol
* Ghatten pats Anna comfortingly
already...whoah it's gone by fast
But now we know we can take Angie
gonna start saving them to zip disk from now on
s class
oops...Angie's class
Starlight, go ahead with your question....
take me where?
thanx Ghatten ;) .. Is it possible to get someone to review our page as we go along.. or do we have to wait till the end of the semester with the finals?
Angie, take your class.
what is URL ? : )
http://www.angelfire.com/wa/VUbearz/index.html
starlight...just ask...but i'm still doing mid-terms...sigh
you can ask for a look-see anytime
kewl .. thanx :)
Oh. My class. Just so you're not taking me anywhere. It's almost my bedtime.
Bears oh my : )
* z-Granny-Wicked says I emailed my url to ghatten for reviews it works great
mine too Angie!
nice buttons
thanx Zonie :)
I have a question...after DebE
DebE have a question???
thanks dowie!
Welcome...
Yes, Ghatten, about marks. Do you have to apply for a CEU to receive a grade?
>> starlight` << you might want to keep you tables down to 640 for the benifit of thoese with 640 res
not quite sure what you mean Zonie .. do you mean to keep the width of them smaller for those with smaller monitors?
>> starlight` << using % means the layout of your stuff will change with the res of the viewer, and they may not see it as you intended
Yes you will have to apply for CEU's to get a grade
Will you be posting our grades or e-mailing them to us?
thanks Ghatten!
If you had sent for a grade, you should get an email back from the Instructor who reviewed your quiz and page
Any idea when?
I think she should send each person's grades to someone else, who would then notify the recipient.
That's how I'll be doing it.
>> starlight` << at width=640 everyone will see it the same
LOL
starlight: check out this site to view your pages with different resolutions ... plus mac and win95 http://www.dot.net.au/younis/window2.html
Hi Dowie, your question???
thanx flamingo :)
lots of folks get there puters factory set at 640 and never figure out how to change it : )
Okay. thanks.
Zonie .. you're saying to eliminate the % sign?
No, actually, it's very simple. You just give me the name of your worst enemy, & I'll send them your grades :>
yes and use solid width= instead
LOL...Angie
That WAS a joke, of course!
oh good angie, I give you kayroller!!
Uh-oh, that works two ways though, Angie!!
Your gonna tell the IRS my grades?
ok .. thanx Zonie :)
* Ghatten says Angie fits RIGHT in with this bunch!!!!!
