I doubt that - It uses exactly the same structure as the rest. So if you can modify the CSS (or include other CSS to overwrite the defaults) - this approach will work. This is only a CSS trick that overrides the default definitions.

It is the same CSS trick as above, with the only difference that they imitate the navbar by creating a table similar to the generated one. The generation of the framework is not affected. All is css-tricks. > I can check further on that. It's > been my main concern about HU: is it robust? Don't know whether it is static. But I don't see a reason why it should not.. We (german-lang) have already the sites with different stylesheets in action (including the staticized front page), with the only difference that we don't hide the generated navbar, but our own (the one on the right hand side): http://de.openoffice.org/ Choose "View|Styles -> ohne Navbar" or whatever this is called in your browser. The principle is the same. AFAIK there are no problems with german-lang sites. > >-> No technical restrictions. > > Maybe. I've asked CN about this. But I would like to make the homepage > less filled with lines, boxes, etc., as Jacqueline pointed out. "But"? My testpage doesn't include any more boxes or lines. (You can style the tabs and the footer as well) Getting rid of the default navbar gives you the freedom to design the page as you want it to be. The only drawback is that you have to add your custom navbar to every page that should have it. But there exists tricks to fetch the contents from another file already. See http://marketing.openoffice.org/art/ the right box fetches its contents from another site unsing JavaScript/PHP. John McCreesh posted another possibility some time ago: http://website.openoffice.org/tryouts/jpmcc/iframe.html That one uses iframe. THe only content of the file is <iframe src="http://www.google.com"; width="640px" height="480px" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0"> [You have no frames!] </iframe> Youls be cool if you could figure out how SC will treat iframes when it comes to statication of the pages. ciao Christian -- NP: Creed - Wash Away Those Years --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
