Tutorials

Ever find yourself wondering just how someone managed to create an image using different effects?

Here are three simple tutorials we hope will encourage you to try something new.

The Hot Seat

A lifelong interest in landscape photography has led Eyal Oren to make a study of his adopted hometown of Marblehead, MA. As you can see, his dedication is paying off!

Africa!

Dgrinners Harryb, Pathfinder, and others joined Andy Williams and Marc Muench on Safari in East Africa recently. Here are some awesome threads to check out!

A simple way to access image in CSS?
I am sure this has been asked before, but I can't find the answer.

In my drop down menu, I am using background images. Everything is working, but I have to access the images by their full name.

Example:
Code:
background: url(http://www.foshe.org/photos/559415325_dsQfH-O.jpg) no-repeat center top;
Is there an easy way to access the image? Something like /images/imagename.jpg. I only ask because I thought I saw that somewhere but now I can't find it. Of course the paint fumes could just be getting to me in my newly painted office.

If the image is on your site, you can use either:

http://www.foshe.org/photos/559415325_dsQfH-O.jpg

or

/photos/559415325_dsQfH-O.jpg

When a URL starts with a "/", then it uses the same domain as the page it's being loaded from whatever that domain is.
