| Category: CSS,Dreamweaver | |
| Description: Sometimes, the terminology used by the W3C is so obtuse and scary, I can't blame web designers for not taking the time to read and understand the specifications. The term "block formatting context" is one of those scary terms in CSS that just makes my eyes glaze over.

| Comparing Illustrator and Freehand | 22-Mar-06 |
| Author: Kim Dudley | Reader Level::

| Category: Freehand, Illustrator, Design | |
| Description: Illustrator and Freehand have worked hard to outdo each other over the years. If one of these applications added a new tool or feature to its resume the other would soon follow with a similar update. Therefore it's not surprising these programs are able to produce very similar results. Both applications specialize in producing vector based artwork for print or the web. As well, both can work with multiple color modes, many different file types and offer drawing tools for producing complex artwork.
Although Illustrator and Freehand have the ability to produce similar results the steps to acheive these results may be quite different. Understanding the different terminology and location of tools in a new application can be frustrating and time consuming. This article will help reduce that frustration by demonstrating how to complete the same basic tasks in each application. In addition we will compare the panels in Freehand to the palettes in Illustrator. If you are a Freehand or Illustrator user and have had the need or interest to use the other application, this tutorial will get you started. |

Wrapper movie clips are not built into Flash, it is just a terminology for a fundamental technique when working with a Flash movie and all of its elements and objects.
This article will cover the basics of working with wrapper movie clips and the value they add to the overall production and functionality of a project. |

| Web Terminology: Part Three | 23-Mar-04 |

| Category: CSS, HTML | |
| Description: In Part Three of our Web Terminology series, we discuss terms you may read in a forum or on an email list. Words that are slung about loosely, often without further description or even a context within which to infer their meanings. Words that are part of the "jargon" of CSS, such as "Positioned," "Container," "CSS Hack," and "Workaround." Armed with this knowledge, you'll be able to ask intelligent questions, converse with the gurus, and actually understand what they're talking about! Let's go! | |
