Re: [WSG] User Preference Script
Hi Kornel,
That looks very similar to something I saw not long ago at alistapart.
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/bodyswitchers/
It's a fine solution, but you still need to pre-define each rule in a
stylesheet and there will be browser that don't support the technique.
Tony.

Because Opera is not able to modify stylesheet rules,
I've been looking for a different solution, and I found one -
use multiple classes on :
body.smallfont {font-size: small;}
body.verdana {font-family: verdana,sans-serif;}
body.red {color: red;}
body.red #something.else {color: red;}
This way you don't need to have lots of alternate stylesheets.
You could even put all such rules in a default stylesheet
and have "classic" style switcher additionally.

[WSG] User Preference Script
Hi All, I would love some feedback on a User Preference Script http://www.csscreator.com/generator/userpref.php Reports of support from Mac browser and early IE would be especially useful to me at the moment. Please provide responses Off List unless you think others would benefit from it in some way.

Are you storing this in an SQL database? Thanks Paul, Yes it's stored in a MySQL database. I'd like to see some other layers of information added to a database such as yours. For instance, in addition to generalizing None, Part, or Full support of a property by various browsers, I'd also like to specify exactly how they differ, since all browsers that "support" a particular feature may not do so in the same way. There are also quirks that don't quite come in the category of "support" but are critical nonetheless, such as the way IE requires there to be a background-color in order to render certain elements properly. Comments were meant to take care of browser quirks, so far there is only a couple of properties that have had comments added. Hopefully over time more will be added. Other quirks, such as IE's maverick box model, would be difficult to categorize in a listing of properties but could probably be referenced under such properties as margin & padding. Again comments should be able to take care of that. There are certain phenomena that occur when several properties and elements interact, and it would be great to be able to find out what the database knows about, say, a UL nested inside a DIV when its LIs have float: left. Cross referencing properties would be possible but not on the database in it's current form. It really wasn't in my initial design to be able to cross reference properties and it would increase the complexity quite a lot.

Re: [WSG] CSS rules & quirks database
Hi Paul, I created a list of CSS properties and browsers that support them http://www.csscreator.com/attributes/ It still needs a little work refining and adding content. The idea was to get the community (members of the CSS Forum) behind it and have them add to the content. Once logged in you can add / edit content and levels of browser support or make a comment. Eventually I will get around to finishing it off, it's on my to do list. Tony Aslett http://www.csscreator.com/ Paul Novitski wrote: Friends, Drowning as I am in the unending flood of details about CSS -- what works and what doesn't on which browsers, and how to make a particular effect work cross-browser -- I've started conceiving a database to augment my maxed-out cerebrum. Such a database could be queried for suggestions of how to accomplish a given presentational task, to advise about the cross-browser issues of particular elements, and to provide links to source material and demos on the net. Ultimately it might be made into a validator to help folks pinpoint problems in their markup. It would contain the kinds of details that are imparted daily on this glorious list, although I cannot imagine it ever rendering CSS listserves obsolete because of the endless fountain of human invention they convey. Before I get too far into this project, I'm wondering: - Is anyone else working on this kind of thing? - Would you like to join a working group to discuss its feasibility and implementation?

Re: [WSG] Table-Free Design
Hi John, You could also try out the css layout generator http://www.csscreator.com/version2/pagelayout.php Tony http://www.csscreator.com/ http://www.multiwebspace.com/ John Horner wrote: If I want to find solid building blocks for a table-free layout, where should I start? I mean, I know there are hundreds of websites, but the recommendations of this group ought to be particularly useful. The thing is, I want a lot! In terms of the page, I'm simply looking for * banner * three-column flexible layout for the main content * footer but I'm hoping that the page doesn't exhibit any strange behaviours when the page gets too small/content gets too bit, like DIVs overlapping each other or disappearing to the bottom of the page, and I'm even hoping that the layout can be content-first, nav-second in the source. I was also hoping that the CSS can be relatively straightforward and not consist of 147 nested @import statements full of high-pass/low-pass filters and box model hack code etc. Am I asking too much? I won't be trying to support Netscape 4, if that helps... jh ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ Proud presenters of Web Essentials 04 http://we04.com/ Web standards, accessibility, inspiration, knowledge To be held in Sydney, September 30 and October 1, 2004 See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help **
