[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-605?page=all ]
Gavin updated FOR-605:
----------------------
Attachment: forrest_faq.png
I am investigating this, and it seems there is doubled up use of margins and
padding in adjacent areas of the stylesheet. For instance the width of a page
within #content is #menu + #minitoc-area + #motd-area. All of these specify
widths and margins and padding to differing degrees, and some overlap each
other. I believe there is room here for much improvement.
However, as this screenshot shows, it seems to be a lot better anyway than on
Davids screenshot of the same page. We have to factor in resolution settings
for different users and the fact you will always get word wrapping at 800x600
when the site is clearly more designed around 1024x762 users.
The stylesheets I would say need a good re-vamp and cleanup, there is a mix of
using px,em,% when I think probably we should be using % a lot more and px a
lot less.

> The Message of the Day (MOTD) facility inserts a panel at the top right of
> the Table of Contents (ToC). However this panel interferes with the flow of
> text in the ToC, forcing items to be line-wrapped to a narrow width. The MOTD
> is not properly implemented with CSS, probably needs its own definition.
