How do I validate my website?
To validate your web-documents and web-pages or learn more about validation please visit: http://www.w3.org/.
This website provides free online services to help you build a better and more efficient website, including several validators which check the syntax of web-documents, written in formats such as CSS and (X)HTML. The best way to ensure that your documents are legal CSS and (X)HTML is by running your documents through one or more validators. The validators fetch your document or web-page, passes it through a parser, and post-processes
the resulting error list for easier reading. Learn more about validation at: http://www.w3.org/.
How may I use the free developer graphics and stock images?
The free developer graphics and stock images offered within our website may be used to create graphics of your own. All graphics and/or stock photography offered here may be used in commercial or personal projects. However, the original graphics and/or stock images may not be posted or distributed in original form.
For example: If you wish to use a stock photograph, you may create a graphic using the photograph, but you may not post the original photograph. You may edit (add animation or effects, add text, crop, etc.) the photograph and then you may distribute or post your created graphic on your website.
Basically, do not save and upload the originals to your website. We've worked hard to provide these freely to you, so please respect our wishes. Use them as you like to develop your own creations! Hence the name, developer graphics!

When I add a CSS code to my website it doesn't work and I know it should!
Most of our CSS codes contain "style" tags. If your template or website is not correctly displaying the CSS code provided, be sure to remove the <style></style> tags before and after the code, leaving your original tags intact.
For example, turn this: <style> body {background-image:picture.gif}</style><style> body {cursor:Default} </style>
Into this: <style> body {background-image:picture.gif; cursor:Default } </style>

Will all of your codes and tools work on my website?
This all depends on your browser, website host, and overall set-up.
Some of our free website codes will not work or appear correctly on all websites. Why? Some of our website codes include Microsoft only functions (for example, image effects and filters through our Image Effect Generator) which will not appear other web-browsers (e.g. Firefox) and some website hosts. Some website hosts also do not allow insertion of javascript or will receive errors with use. We are very sorry for this inconvenience, but it is truly out of our control.
