I took every message I got about this Web page and pasted it into a 24-page MS Word document. I read it all once, then went back and highlighted the most important parts. Then I went to work on the page and style sheet.
The result is better, but A) has a few glitches, and B) doesn't have some features I want that are on the other older pages of the site built when I didn't know what I was doing (sounds crazy). A - Notice the first photo credit. The only way I could make it fit was to put it in a div the same width as the image. I don't see myself doing that for the entire site. Also, I can't figure out why the word "Used" didn't appear on the previous line. For some reason, the text wrapped prematurely. The second image credit has the same cheat even though it doesn't match the image width. And the navigation on the left: Somehow I have to make that fit the available space. Smaller font? But that leaves the issue that this page will be within the Books section, and those selections overflow to the right. What to do? B - Please follow the Dave Marsh link on the left. There are three important features on this "old" page. 1-The way "Keith's Favored Things" butts up right at the top. I tried using the same code in the Jack Vance page but it didn't work. Something to do with our old style sheet import issue? 2-The way the Dave Marsh heading appears. I also tried the same code on the Jack Vance page. It failed. 3-The slightly textured background on the Dave Marsh page. Apparently a property of the BODY tag, but it's not working on the Vance page. Finally, please note the comment I put about half way down in the style sheet. (My apologies for these posts that are so much longer than most everyone else.) http://www.keithpurtell.com/kthings/a_body_vance_divs.htm - Keith Purtell ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
