Hi all, After much trepidation, here is my first attempt at building a site using web standards:
http://lorenzo.za.net/ ... or as a zip file: http://lorenzo.za.net/dtc.zip As can be seen, it's far from done. I've just managed to get it looking and working right in IE6, after starting from a decent Firefox 0.9 layout. Uncommenting the content in the #content and #bookmark divs will show how they stretch the page height/background images perfectly in these browsers. I'm aware that I did this by using !important extensively in my CSS, resulting in some dodgy workarounds in places (including substituting transparent PNGs with GIFs for IE6). I created the design in PS and converted it into html, as I'm in the habit of doing. What I'm wondering now is: have I painted myself into a corner? I'd really like to retro-fit the design to other browsers (IE5+, Opera 7 and Netscape 7 at least) but have no idea what step to take next... Can it be salvaged, or do I have to restart from scratch using more of a "rules-based design" approach? Suggestions/advice? -- ...._/\/ŻŻŻŻŻŻ\/\_..... -> Project Manager <- (w) www.quirk.co.za (e) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (h) +27 (0)86 11 021 33 (t) +27 (0)21 462 7353 (f) +27 (0)21 462 7354 www.quirk.co.za/email_conditions.php ****************************************************** 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 ******************************************************
