Make all content a link

add to

January 3 2008 by Dejan Cancarevic

Ever seen on some site whole content area with images etc as just one link? Usually there’s some hover for the background and they are mostly on the sidebars left or right or let’s say on the footer. You can see live example on previous version of my portfolio here - those links on the right. This tutorial will show you how to do that with CSS, and tell you something more about display:block; option.

In this simple example I will go with <li> tag for it, because I think it’s used more, but also you can apply this for <div> tag.

Yellow fields in web form

January 2 2008 by Dejan Cancarevic

You must have seen that annoying Firefox option for changing your fields background color in your beautiful contact, order, comments form. Yes you are right, it’s everywhere mostly for Email, Name and some other form fields. Even if you set background color it will change it, and that’s for focus state too. I have a solution that I’m using for a while, it’s not really elegant one, it requires images, but it works just fine.
