Today we create a simple MENU in CSS. Click here to see the final result!

[1] Let’s to create the CSS:

<style type=”text/css”>
body  {
text-align: left;
background-image: url(”bg.gif”);
}
div     {
width: 100px;
height: 20px;
background-color: #338ce8;
}
div:hover
{
background-color: #085ea6;
}
a       {
color: white;
font-size: 18px;
text-decoration: none;
}
</style>

Note:
text-decoration: none;  I put this expresion to remove the line under the link!

[2] Now we need to create the HTML code:

<html>
<body>
<head>
<title>Create a simple Menu in CSS</title>
/* Here is the CSS code */
</head>
<body><center><h1><u>Create a simple Menu in CSS</u></h1>
<br><br>
<div><a href=”#” mce_href=”#”>HOME</a></div>
<div><a href=”#” mce_href=”#”>SERVICES</a></div>
<div><a href=”#” mce_href=”#”>CONTACT</a></div></center>
</body>
</html>

The entire code:

<html>
<body>
<head>
<title>Create a simple Menu in CSS</title>
<style type=”text/css”>
body  {
text-align: left;
background-image: url(”bg.gif”);
}
div     {
width: 100px;
height: 20px;
background-color: #338ce8;
}
div:hover
{
background-color: #085ea6;
}
a       {
color: white;
font-size: 18px;
text-decoration: none;
}
</style>
</head>
<body><center><h1><u>Create a simple Menu in CSS</u></h1>
<br><br>
<div><a href=”#” mce_href=”#”>HOME</a></div>
<div><a href=”#” mce_href=”#”>SERVICES</a></div>
<div><a href=”#” mce_href=”#”>CONTACT</a></div></center>
</body>
</html>

That’s it! Here is the final result!

Click here to see an example!

Flash Mp3 Player
How to configurate:
[1] You have 6 files in the archive

- The folder called mp3 files is the folder where you put your mp3 files to embed in player
- Is an XML document and here you write the artist and title of your mp3, open it (right click -> Open with and select your editor, I use Notepad

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<player showDisplay=”yes” showPlaylist=”yes” autoStart=”yes”>
<song path=”mp3 files/Will.mp3″ title=”Will.I.Am – I got it from my mama (K.ro remix)” />
<song path=”mp3 files/Chingy.mp3″ title=”Chingy – Dem jeans (K.ro remix)” />
<song path=”mp3 files/Empireisis.mp3″ title=”Empireisis – Get up on it (K.ro remix)” />
<song path=”" title=”" />
<song path=”" title=”" />
</player>Save it and use this code to embed your Flash player in a Page ( we talk about localhost because if you want to be online you need to upload the files on your server. I hope you have a server because the sites who give
free hosting don’t let you yto uploade mp3, mp3, wav, wma, etc!)

<object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” data=”mp3player.swf”
width=”280″ height=”280″ wmode=”transparent”>
<param name=”movie” value=”mp3player.swf” />
<param name=”wmode” value=”transparent” />
</object>

Note: This player accept only mp3 files! Click here to see and example

Copyright on the Web seems to be a difficult concept for people to understand. If you did not write or create the article, graphic, or data that you found, then you need permission from the owner before you can copy it. Remember, when you use someone’s graphic, HTML, or text without permission, you are stealing, and they can take action against you.

What is Copyright?

Copyright is the right of the owner to reproduce or permit someone else to reproduce copyrighted works. Copyrightable works include:

  • literary works such as articles, stories, journals, or computer programs
  • pictures and graphics
  • blueprints of architecture
  • music and song lyrics
  • plays and screenplays
  • audiovisual recordings such as movies
  • sound recordings

If you’re not sure if an item is copyrighted, it probably is.

Reproduction can include:

  • printing a Web page
  • copying the HTML, JavaScript or other code of a page
  • downloading an image to your hard drive
  • printing an image

Most copyright owners on the Web will not object to personal use of their Web pages.

For example, if you found a Web page that you wanted to print, most developers would not find it a violation of their copyright if you were to print out the page.

Copyright Notice

Even if a document or image on the Web does not have a copyright notice, it is still protected by copyright laws. If you are trying to protect your own work, it is always a good idea to have a copyright notice on your page. For images, you can add watermarks and other copyright information into the image itself using special software, and you should also include your copyright in the alt text.

When is it an Infringement?

The most common types of copyright infringement on the Web are images being used on Web sites other than the owners. It doesn’t matter if you copy the image to your Web server or point to it on their Web server. If you use an image on your Web site that you didn’t create, you must get permission from the owner. It is also common for the text, HTML, and script elements of a page to be taken and reused. If you have not gotten permission, you have violated the owner’s copyright.

Many companies take this type of infringement very seriously. About, for instance, has a legal team that handles copyright infringement, and the Fox TV network is very diligent in searching out fan sites that use their images and music and will demand that the copyrighted material be removed.

But How Will they Know?

Before I answer that, keep in mind this quote: “Integrity is doing the right thing even if no one will know”.

Many corporations have programs called “spiders” that will search out images and text on Web pages. If it matches the criteria (same file name, content matches, and other things), they will flag that site for review and it will be reviewed for copyright infringement. These spiders are always surfing the net, and new companies are using them all the time.

For smaller businesses, the most common way to find copyright infringement is by accident or being told about the infringement. For example, as an About Guide, we have to search the Web for new articles and information about our topics. Many Guides have done searches and come up with sites that are exact duplicates of their own, right down to the content they wrote. Other Guides have received email from people either reporting a possible infringement, or just announcing the site that turns out to have stolen content.

Fair Use

Many people talk about fair use as if that makes it okay to copy someone else’s work. However, if someone takes you to court over a copyright issue, you have to admit to the infringement, and then claim it is “fair use”. The judge then makes a decision based upon the arguments.

If you are doing a parody, commentary, or educational information you may be able to claim fair use. However, fair use is nearly always a short excerpt from an article and it is usually attributed to the source. Also, if your use of the excerpt harms the commercial value of the work (along the lines of if they read your article they won’t need to read the original), then your claim of fair use may be nullified. In this sense, if you copy an image to your Web site this cannot be fair use, as there is no reason for your viewers to go to the owner’s site to see the image.

When using someone else’s graphics or text on your Web page, I would recommend getting permission. Like I said before, if you are sued for copyright violation, you must admit to the infringement, and then hope that the judge or jury agrees with your arguments. It’s faster and safer to just ask permission

What do you think? An author resolve something if denounce you?
