Before You Begin Coding..You Should...?

Hello. It's me again with another question that should generate a lot of
responses.

As mentioned before, I'm working on my first site (hopefully I'll be done
soon and can move on to other stuff...caus I'm tired of looking at the same
graphics). :-)

But, I've been running into all of these different HTML/CSS code debacles,
after which I've been advised to go back and "add 'this' default coding to
your stylesheet", or "IE sees your code like this...Mozilla/Firefox sees it
as this, so you have to do 'this' "....

Only to come to the conclusion that there are some general things that I need
to do or code that I need to always include that will make my life a lot
easier when I been using positioning code and other CSS elements to create my
webpage.

From your perspective, what would be these general inclusions...? What do I
"always" need to do so I won't have problems coding and my viewers won't have
any problems viewing my page? (No graphic design answers needed).

What do you mean "almost never ok". Is one form of shoplifting ok

With your own IP you are free to do with it as you like. Other
people's IP is a completely different story.

Oh I see, I have "an arrested moral development" because I asked
permission to use an image, from a web page. Where as you would just
take it.

You're being quite silly here. If people were that concerned about
people stealing their precious IP they wouldn't put their pictures on
the web in the first place any more than shops leave their merchandise
lying around unattended in the street.

Unless a website specifically asks you not to do particular things then
it's perfectly OK to save an image and put it on your desktop. You had
to download the thing to view it in your browser in the first place so
where are you going to draw the line here? It's like a pie shop trying
to charge passers-by for smelling the pies.

Ignorance of the laws is no excuse. Try using the above argument in
front of a judge and see how far it gets you.

So you think that stealing content is OK, provided that you label te
stolen content as "This was the copyright of someone else, until I
stole it" ?

Possession is 9/10 of the law? Hmmm...

The way I see it, you're allowed--encouraged even--to smell the pies
while you're in front of the pie shop. I think what you've done, though,
is walked away with a bite of it. Sounds like stealing to me.

And this is getting pretty off-topic for this group, dontcha think?

No. I can now write to the author of the image and ask permission.
If I can't get a response from the author I will probably NOT use the
image as I would like it for a classroom presentation (not for my
desktop).

Maybe/maybe not. Copyright should be a concern for all web developers.
