Re: [fossil-users] css for columns

2010-07-09 Thread Stephen De Gabrielle
I think it's a matter of personal taste. I quite like a list, and many
web UIs are lists, though normally with a little metadata or file
attributes.(sourceforge and github come to mind).

Anyway, no big deal.

 It seems to me that the default behaviour of IE7 and IE8 is to use quirks
 mode (compatibility view in MS speak) for pages fetched from the local
 network (content from the intranet in MS speak) and then displays a list
 rather then a grid.

 Whilst I have no love for IE, I think it is a poor idea for fossil to look
 bad when users first try it (most likely via doing fossil ui). Granted,
 usage of IE among the target user base of fossil (developers) is perhaps as
 low as 25%, but that is still a quarter of all potential users.

 Below is an example of using

 10em; column-fill: balance;
 to put the list in whatever 10em columns fit across the page.

 Old browsers will just give a list, and newer ones give reasonable
 results.

 Just a suggestion.

[fossil-users] css for columns

2010-07-08 Thread Stephen De Gabrielle
Hi, a little thing that bugs me sometimes is the use of a table for files.

Below is an example of using
style=-moz-column-width:10em; -webkit-column-width:10em;  column-width:
10em; column-fill: balance;
to put the list in whatever 10em columns fit across the page.

Old browsers will just give a list, and newer ones give reasonable results.
