As suggested by Availor, we have created this thread, to become a valuable resource sticky for those seeking quick access to web design related information.

I would like to suggest it is mandatory to post a link with every post in this thread, or your post will be removed



Followed a link through from online wikipedia, and ended up at the following site... interesting

Could someone please tell me the difference between Evrsoft's 1st Page 2000 and 1st Page 2006? Typically, the 2006 would indicate this is a newer version, but looking at their download page you see 2000 is listed first, so I am not sure.

I have used coffeecup for many years and was curious about evrsoft after seeing Availor's post (thanks Availor). It also "appears" that both of these products are free. Is there a catch to this?

[Availor]

First of all: The 2000 is totally free whereas 2006 after about 15 days will nag you to buy it. You don't have to though.

Personaly I find this to be a great software though it has it's own bugs http://www.guistyles.com/wp-content/...pete/phone.png. It includes many scripts which I think the first version does not. I am not sure about the difference since I had only 2006.

I always like trying new stuff and then I get back to the good old DreamWeaver. Nothing is better than DreamWeaver I think.

This is one of the best sites I've found:
http://www.cssplay.co.uk/index.html
Each example is provided with a code you can copy and paste into your own website. To examine the code, ifn ot displayed, use Right Click -> View Source. The code is deliberately displayed, including the CSS.

You have a site and you want to test compatibility with several browsers? This often means installing several browsers, but if you run Windows for example and you want to see how your site looks with a Mac or Linux browser, then things get complicated. Things get even more complicated if you want to test a site for different versions of the same browser, like IE5, IE5.5, IE6 and IE7.

Luckily enough there are sites like:

http://browsershots.org/
http://www.browsercam.com/

My advice; test a site for IE, FF and Opera and do the browser tests only if your site looks good in all 3 browsers (saves you lots of time).

Wow, thanks Availor ! This is a truly resourceful site !
