 | Web forms use one of two methods to submit data to the server. You probably know what they are (GET and POST—if you don’t). But do you know when you should use one over the other? Plus I had a lot of fun this week creating some pretty crazy looking buttons using just HTML and CSS3. It's amazing what you can build. And if you are or know a writer looking for an internship position, please check out my internships coming available. Even if you aren't a current or recent college student, if you're interested in writing about web design or HTML, please check out his opportunity or contact me for more information. Did you know that I've been writing about HTML, CSS, and web design since 1997? I have hundreds if not thousands of articles on the site that have just as much relevance today as they did when I first wrote them. You can find them by searching the site, or more simply by browsing my article library. And if you can't find the answer to your question, you can always suggest an article or ask a question in my web design and HTML forums. Please forward this newsletter, in its entirety, to your colleagues, coworkers and friends, anyone you think would like to learn more about web design, HTML, and web development. | |
Understanding When to Use GET or POST in HTML Forms
There are two methods you can use to transfer data in HTML forms. But it's one thing to know the two methods, it's another to know which is appropriate to use. This article will help explain when to use GET or POST in your HTML forms.
| CSS3 Buttons
 Buttons are a fun feature of web pages, but up until just recently, if you wanted your buttons to have any interesting features at all, you needed to use images. In fact, if you search the web for "web buttons" you will find hundreds if not thousands of examples of buttons you can use for your web pages. But now, with CSS3 you can create buttons that have cool effects but don't use any images at all.
| Web Design / HTML Interns Wanted
Are you interested in technical writing or want to share what you know about web design and HTML? Or do you know someone who is? I am looking for applicants for the second half of 2012 to write about web design and HTML. If accepted, interns will be asked to write one article (650–800 words) a month on topics related to HTML, web design, and XML. To apply: please send a cover letter, current resume, writing sample, and the URL for at least one web page you have built to webdesign.guide@about.com. Please indicate what web editor you use for building web pages and what topics you would be most interested in writing about. Deadline for applications: June 15, 2012.
| Poll: Do you use centering as a design element?
Centered alignment is a popular design element as it's relatively easy. In fact, now centering with CSS is arguably harder than it used to be with the CENTER element (that element is deprecated and you shouldn't use it). However, there are drawbacks to centered design. In fact, Jacci, the Desktop Publishing Guide, recommends that you should avoid centered text for most body copy.
