]]> This is a very easy example on country flag change. If you have got a form with country selection field then you can easily display a flag related to that specific country on country selection made by user. In this example all the flags images are placed in a folder named as ‘flags’ which is in folder named as ‘images’. You should have a folder ‘images’ at website root and a folder ‘flags’ containing all the flags in png file format in it. Give this script a go. This is really cool and easy way to create a user friendly selection form field.

<img id="flag" src="images/flags/pk.png"/>

]]> font-percentagesTo control fonts in percentage is the easiest method which we can choose while playing with the fluid layouts, or perhaps while working with widgets and web 2.0 elements.

It is recommended while working with layouts that we define a standard font size for html and body. In the beginning there were loose style for fonts. Nobody used to care about styling fonts. Then in the design era of computer age, designers developed and adopted techniques to control different design aspects of websites and usually most popular standard was to choose 11px to 12 px font for HTML. Many years this technique prevailed until web 2.0 arrived and some web architects decides that fonts must be clear and bold. So now designers and developers adopt a technique to display large font sizes. Font size, color, face are also a part of the design. Here is how we can control font by percentage as a unit for font size. 

<div style="font-size: 100%;">100 %</div>
<div style="font-size: 150%;">150 %</div>
<div style="font-size: 300%;">300 %</div>
<div style="font-size: 400%;">400 %</div>
<div style="font-size: 500%;">500 %</div>
<div style="font-size: 600%;">600 %</div>

There are other font size units too e.g. pixels, points, inches, cm, mm etc. Percentage is one of these. Widely used as a standard is em unit for font size, which is considered to be the same for all browsers if browser compatibility is in mind.

<div style="font-size: 12px;">12 px</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">12 pt</div>
<div style="font-size: 0.5in;">0.5 in</div>
<div style="font-size: 1cm;">1 cm</div>
<div style="font-size: 12mm;">12 mm</div>
<div style="font-size: 2pc;">2 pc</div>
<div style="font-size: 2em;">2 em</div>
<div style="font-size: 6ex;">12 ex</div>

]]> Links are the Web’s number one interaction element. Violating common expectations for how links work is a sure way to confuse and delay users, and might prevent them from being able to use your site. Lets see what Markup Gurus say about links, and when links meet the standard or non-standard criteria. The usability guideline for any type of navigational design is to help users understand three major points:

  • Where they’ve been?
  • Where they are?
  • Where they can go (past, present, and future)?

These three are interrelated: If we consider browsing a site, a journey; then knowing your past and present locations makes it easier to decide where to go next.

Standard Guidelines for Links

  • Make obvious what’s clickable.
    For text links, use colored or underlined text.
  • Don’t underline non-link text.
  • Differentiate visited and unvisited links.
  • Explain what users will find at the other end of the link via ‘alt’ and ‘title’ tags to enhance scannability and search engine optimization (SEO).
  • Don’t use “click here” or other non-descriptive link text.
  • Avoid JavaScript or other fancy techniques (flash) that break standard interaction techniques for dealing with links.
  • Don’t open pages in new windows (except for different files i.e. PDF files).

]]> Ever experienced a problem when regular image HTML code is displaying images in firefox but not displaying in internet explorer? If you are facing the same problem then consider taking care of following points:

  • Do not name images as ‘banner’. This can cause problems with some antivirus software or browser add-on.
  • validate the html document and css file. You can lose a lot of time trying to fix something when there are errors in your code.
    W3C Validator – HTML
    W3C Validator – CSS
  • Check for valid code – make sure all tags are closed.
    You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to “self-close” an element, that is, ending it with “/>” instead of “>” in case of XHTML
  • Check that ’show pictures’ option is enabled in IE.
    Go to tools > Internet Options > Multimedia > Show Pictures

]]> use-any-fonts

Now using javascript we can use any font in web page by using techniques such as Typeface and Facelift Image Replacement (or FLIR) or sIFR. sIFR needs flash while others do not. sIFR is for smoothness look of fonts.

Instead of creating images or using flash just to show your site’s graphic text in the font you want, you can use typeface.js and write in plain HTML and CSS and get original smooth font look whatever you specify, even if the user machine have not those fonts. This technique is limited yet with limited fonts support and also it is recommended to use it for title of headings of web page. All the font at the web page using this technique can heavy things up at server and page might load very slow. Even then it is cool. Type face is easy, flexible and open source.

Using FLIR to display any font in web page is even easy. Here they have got complete instructions for just that.

I have tried type face method and here is its example to download.

]]> We can simply use CSS alone to reproduce opacity effect that have traditionally been done using scripting. The advantage of looking to CSS instead is obvious – much more lightweight and easier to implement. We can use this method where we need to use a dim or faint version of image, while when some one places mouse over it, then image comes sharp, clear and bright.

Use the following code in head section of web page.

<style type="text/css">
.opacityit img{
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(opacity=40);
-moz-opacity: 0.4;
}
.opacityit:hover img{
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(opacity=100);
-moz-opacity: 1;
}
</style>

Use the following code in body where the image is located.

<a href="#" class="opacityit"><img border="0" src="email.gif" /></a>

By this method image loads kind of blur in background and in light colors, but when some one places mouse over it. It becomes sharp.

Simple Opacity

We are using JavaScript to change the opacity of an image here. The technique works in both IE4+ and NS6+, and can be used to create some interesting “fading” effects. Here is the simple way to just place an image with opacity.

<img src="image.gif" style="filter:alpha(opacity=50); -moz-opacity:0.5">

In -moz-opacity:0.5 accepted range of values are 0 to 1, where 0 would make the image disappear and in alpha(opacity=50) range is between 1 to 100. We have combined the code both for IE and Mozilla for code compatibility.

We can also alter the opacity of image using javascript.

Head section code

<script>
function alteropacity(imageobject, opacity){
 if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape")!=-1
  &&parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>=5)
    imageobject.style.MozOpacity=opacity/100
 else if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft")!= -1 
  &&parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>=4)
    imageobject.filters.alpha.opacity=opacity
}
</script>

Body Section Code

<img src="image.gif" style="filter:alpha(opacity=50); -moz-opacity:0.5" 
onMouseover="alteropacity(this, 100)" onMouseout="alteropacity(this, 30)">

]]> Hotlinking is the use of an image from a website into another web page belonging to another site. There is thin chances that any popular blog will not be hot linked ever. By this way other websites use your host’s bandwidth and cause load at your server which has no benefit for you but loss. Following is a solution to protect your WordPress blog from hotlinking using .htaccess file.

Ever visited a webpage when you were trying to access an image, which shows you an image saying that image stealing is prohibited. We are going to use this way. The image will still be displayed from your blog but then it can be small and of low quality minimizing load. So we will create a small image written something like “Content Stealing is prohibited at my server” and upload it on our blog server.

Then, we will edit our .htaccess file, located in your WordPress blog root directory. Sometimes ftp does not show .htaccess file because it is hidden. In that case we can apply a filter -a via ftp which will show us hidden files too.

Add the following code to your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
#Replace ?myblog\.com/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+\.)?myblog\.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
#Replace /images/donothotlink.jpg
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ /images/donothotlink.jpg [L]

Replace myblog with your blog URL name. For this blog it will be webstylepress
Use donothotlink as a name for your jpg image.

And you are done. Now when anybody shall copy any image URL from your blog, this image will be shown instead.

]]> CSS is a simple file which controls the visual appearance of a web page without compromising its structure. Why to use it and how to use it properly. If you don’t use CSS on your web pages and you have many tables and content on them, chances are that your HTML file size will be quite heavy. Fact is that we live in a busy world, and people will not wait more than 5 seconds for web page to load. Some web developers implement the CSS on wrong way. They write their CSS in HTML code of the page, like this:

<html>
<head> 
<title>My Page</title>
<style>
A { font-family: Verdana; font-size:8pt; color:black; text-decoration:none } 
</style>
</head>
<body>some content</body>
