Hi!

Here is my next try to merge some ideas ...

http://domm.zsi.at/modperl-site-domm

I've attached a patch file, too (a rather big one..)


Cool, thanks Thomas!


This version is much cleaner, IMO. Maybe a light bg would be worth a try..


+1


Changes:
* some finetunig in style.css
* moved a <br> out of page/index into navbar_global, so that the boxes align
well if there is no breadcrumb
* removed now not needed toc-anchor
* changed main menu to plain links seperated by line brakes
* moved Stas' new download widget into navbar_local, removing the old one
from toc
* removed the 4 icons from the tail


But we need to put these into a new page, I'll do that.


* added a new top-link-image (also attached, although the image is not perfect)


up, needs to be re-done

Notice that we have a TODO file in the root of the cvs dir, so feel free to add more stuff like this there, so we won't forget things that were discussed already.


Issues:
This design is not rendering perfect in NS4, as the white boxes don't span
the page. Ditto the Headline crossbar.
But I'm finetuning some tricks to make it work on NS4 /and/ correctly
rendering browsers.


great!


Oh, one thing I just discovered is that products/index.html doesn't span the
page (in Mozilla, Opera is OK) . Haven't got time right now to fix it (with
width:100% and some fiddling with padding-rigth) ...


Yup, back to the way it was with your original design. I guess a row of &nbsp; is the simplest solution, as we have discussed this already.

more issues:

- why the patch made the menu wider?

-        width: 160px;
+        width: 170px;

and div.logo, div.menu and other div's

So much horizonal space is wasted. I'd do the opposite -- try to shrink it. Remember that we have documents with wide <pre> sections, so we need all the horizontal space we can get.

Also can we get rid of fixed size here? Or is it not possible?

- should there be some hr or just more space between the last [top] image, the navbar and the tail at the bottom of the pages?

Also there is no consistency, the index.html pages have the tail as a separate box, whereas on all other pages it's glued to the body.

Small nits:

- please try to avoid using real \t in style.css and other docs.
- run 'cvs up -dP' so the files that were deleted will be removed from your cvs checked out version.

so you think it's a good idea to actually fix that? I'd rather keep all the menu hyperlinked at all times. Dunno what's the best thing.
