hello all,
stas has rush-released a version of the site which have some minor changes in the look for good browsers but quite a lot for ns4: http://www.apache.org/~stas/allan/modperl-docs/dst_html/ i am not able to cvs, at the moment, so we chose to build it like another site. from this version we can just pick and choose whatever we like/agree. the following are from what i have noted myself: *cleaned all tmpl-files for tabs and "bad html", which generally just means doubleqouting instead of single-qouting or no-qouting. *replaced the code for the title. was <h1 class="headline">. now the title is built into a table together with the breadcrumb, thus making it easier to adjust and works cross-browser. *"fixed" frontpage to contain invisble space so titlebar of frontpage is in the exact same position as all others for nice browing pleasure :-). maybe we could have some graphic above the "welcome ..." title, it seems empty without the breadcrumb, but i prefer empiness before a "dancing" titlebar. *"fixed" the two next.gifs to be 48 wide indtead of 49 which caused ns4 to show the outer right-frame of those pics *removed the <div content> completely as it does no good, i think. maybe i have overlooked something here so we can just insert it again, but i dont see the point. we are now having aligned margins for actual text-content, breadcrumb, search, navs etc. *the menu is now looking the same (more or less) across "all" browsers. it is done with an accidently discovered hack and without the use of space-gifs. it now has a seperator between menuitems, but this can be easily replaced if we dont want these seperators. i have added the medium-blue color in the titles for the menus and the dark blue as background for selected menu item. im not sure which combination of colours work the best but i liked these boxes titles to have a color that was not gray. *the ad section now also looks the same in all browsers, done with the same trick as for menus. book-title same as above. i also added black 1px border around the images which i think is a classic mistake not to have around any ads of this sort :) NB! i have overlooked the bg-color for these ads (they should have the same light gray colour as the menu-boxes, i have a fix made locally) *in the download section i have removed the <div> and put the class-selector into the tablecell alredy there. i have removed the parenthesis and made the file-size part of the link, which is very usual for downloads, so now that text is also coloured like other links. i have reduced the sizes of the images, mainly just for trying it out (NB! i do not have a proper pdf-gif so that looks pretty bad) please clear your caches anyway. *fonts* - i have used the helvetica, arial, verdana font-family, and for certain items i have reversed that order so verdana shines thru just for spicing it slightly up (breadcrumb, menu) *the <form>-tags and the hidden fields have been placed elsewhere otherwise they mess things up for ns4 and also ie/windows i think. i have stylized the text-field a little for viewing pleasure in certain browsers (only ie5+ ??) *i have replaced <hr> w. <hr noshade size="1"> to give it a clean elegant look *in the breadcrumb i have replaced space/space, with / *in navbar_local_bottomi have asigned 50% width for the tow possible cells *in navbar_local_top i have removed <div class="download"> and asigned 33% width for the three possible cells *i have replaced the single &nsb; with a single <br> to ensure 1px width of the new "pre-bar" *style.css* complelety re-arranged and optimzed for ns4 to still be working with other browsers - removed all styles that are not used (in this version) - added visited link colours for all links apart from those in menu and list-types - added hover link colours for all links apart from list-types - added padding for div in ad-areas - changed .table-top bgcolor to our old medium-blue ASF and set font color to black!!! - decreased font-size for navbarglobal to 0.85em - inserted color for navbarglobal so slashed and links are now same colours - increased tail-font-size to 0.85em - specified right-margin to 0px for ns4 - replaced and ns-optimzed all div.selectmenuitem and div.notselectmenuitem with td.selectmenuitem and td.notselectmenuitem respectively - inserted styles for dl, ul, p - gave .table-top an absolute font-size like other menu-items and probably something else i have forgotten :-) for this version to have use it would be great if you could have a close look at all possible browsers/os and send feedback to the list. maybe we can sum up a complete list of things to commit to cvs. thomas, if you want i can send you a zipped library of the relevant files so you can ty and build it locally if you like any of the changes. thanks ./allan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
