Survey on Line

Test the wind electronically


Surveys can be used to appraise the sentiments of your audience, or just to gather data.

Here is a tutorial about how to use the Expression Web tools.

"Designing surveys is an art unto itself, requiring careful analysis, skill, and an absolute attention to detail. On the other hand, coding or developing a Web page that contains an electronic form that collects the data from a willing participant is often just as arduous.

Expression Web/FrontPage makes developing and publishing a Web form or survey a breeze. Moreover, it doesn't require that you know any programming or scripting languages that interactively collect and dynamically display results from a database as you will see in this tutorial."

Cascading Style Sheets can be helpful in applying dependable format characteristics to web sites. Like Styles, CSS provides a reference point when a certain look is called for.

Stu Nicholls provides directions for "Fluid" borders:
"If you resize your browser window you will see that these borders are fluid and stay in shape. Resize the text and they will also stay in shape."


Even in this static shot, you can see some nice possibilities.

More CSS

Can't get enough


Demonstrations, Layouts, Menus


This site provides a wealth of examples about how to use Cascading Style Sheets.

Poke around and then come back when your project calls for something different.
"Because my site deals with experimental CSS that is exactly what you get JUST CSS, no javascript or any other programming language has been used in any of the demonstrations."
