Is there a helpdesk for CSS/HTML problems?
1 point by Tichy on Sept 12, 2007 | hide | past | favorite | 9 comments
Yesterday I got caught up in Internet Explorer 6 CSS hell. I am not an CSS expert, so I was thinking for once it would be nice to have a place to consult. Ie what if I could post my problem to some web page with a price tag, and if somebody else can solve it for me, they get the money? Is that a common way helpdesks work? Are there even public helpdesks, or only internal ones?




you can ask a question here for free. http://www.htmlforums.com/


I have had a lot of CSS problems with IE6 (and solved it all), maybe if you tell me what the problem is I can help you.

;)


Have you tried experts-exchange.com?


You didn't have any luck on IRC?


I don't really know my way around IRC, but thanks for the idea!


There is a #css channel on irc.freenode.net with lots of people in it. Basically, you want to be polite, don't repeat yourself, don't dump code to the channel, and don't get pushy if no one answers. IRC is a great way of finding people to talk with on all kinds of technical subjects.

I'll take the opportunity to repeat that there is also a #news.yc on freenode, although very few people use it.


I always recommend Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML Is the best way to learn CSS!
