Session 16 [Fri 260208] - Make Up Session

A good extended session today for a number of you. We covered a number of techniques throughout the day -

CSS & Images For Styling

• Taking slices from our page comps
• Using CSS to place backgrounds in our HTML elements
• An Image Replacement technique for HTML text elements that must stay on the page for accessibility purposes

For those that missed the session we will be covering these techniques again next session [Mon 010310].

Flash Based Image Carousel
We completed our flash work from earlier in the term by setting up and inserting a flash based image carousel into an HTML page. For those that missed this, the example can be seen at Autoslideshow Page and the demo files downloaded from Autoslideshow Demo Files.

If I have time before Tuesday I will write a step by step breakdown of the Autoslideshow procedure on the blog.

Setting Up A Thumbshow Gallery
Finally, this session, we saw how to set up, using CSS positioning, a simple thumbnail style gallery that I recommend you all adapt for your site.

Again the example can be seen at Thumbshow Page and the files downloaded from Thumbshow Demo Files

We will try and look at this set up process again if there is time this week.
