I have recently inherited responsibility for maintaining an all volunteer genealogy site managed by the same person for over 10 years. She did an amazing job of collecting and posting genealogy information but taught herself HTML as she went along. There are over 18000 items in ONE folder and not one of them is a CSS.
I don't need to get "fancy" but I do want to clean up the code; base as much as possible on CSS; and organize the site with a few sub-folders. I think I can get the basic CSS and XHTML coding done before screaming for help with the things that I find not working BUT...one thing that concerns me is the cemetery transcription pages. There are over 240 cemeteries transcribed on the site ranging from one grave to over 5000 burials in one cemetery. Some are currently posted as tables and others as plain text. The formatting is all over the map. Many of them have links to photos of the gravestones. Here's a sample of one of the existing pages: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfannin/ceme-bigbee.html The homepage is http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfannin/ I thought, at first, that I might just pre-format and paste the file as <pre> within a <div> but then I would not be able to add the hyperlinks to individual lines within the <pre>. I thought about adding the hyperlink to an image placed adjacent to the name but if any lines wrapped it would throw off all the links. I could make each burial an unordered list item <ul> with a hyperlink??? I would LOVE to have a way to make the line read: FRIENDLY, Fred 7 Jan 1856 - 25 Nov 1934 "Beloved Father" FRIENDLY, Freida 18 Feb 1872 - 22 Dec 1947 "Beloved Mother" ...but I think that could only happen in a table. I have yet to find another genealogy site which had a creative CSS solution. I just hate to get started without some idea of what might be the best solution. Is there a CSS solution? Any suggestions from those of you with more experience? Thanks.
