HELP! I've just done a site for http://www.charismalab.com. Everything
is great for Windows PC, Firefox, Safari BUT the client is looking at
the site on her Mac OS 9 IE 5 and it's not right. I've use the import
to use a separate style sheet which helped massively but there are some
things that I
Ok, maybe I'm being lazy, I'm googling for a good tutorial or exemples on the subject, and all I find is theory, so here it goes:
I recently got a job as a web designer in a company whose site has previous decades markup.
Apart from that I do all the companys graphic work, so time is short.

As you can see I intend to set the width of the container and the banner
into 75% and push them to the left. I intend to reserve the space available
in the right after that for the sidebar whose width is set at 25% and
positioned to the right. But unfortunately, the sidebar has floated to
If you want to use frames you have to use the frames doctype. And only the frames doctype. It should include everything you want to use.Now, in my opinion, you should try to redesign the frames structure in PHP, and do the top frame as a PHP include. Then you can even fix it on the page with CSS
Thank Bert Doorn,
I have followed your instruction and it works on my Firefox 1.0.7. Here is my modifications:
#sidebar {
width:100%;
background-color: #99;
/* float:left; */
}
#sidebar li {
margin-left:20px;
}
It looks nice on Firefox:
Thank you Christian, making the top frame a php include sounds like an excelent idea.
The markee I was thinking in turning it a flash object, since there is already a flashmovie in the first page it shoudn't be a problem for users, I think it uses less processing resources.
From what I've read
If you keep the frames-based layout and go with a frameset DTD for the
frameset and a Strict DTD for the framed documents, you'll run into these
problems:
1. IE will create an horizontal scrollbar in your top frame. The fix for
this is to use scrolling=yes (I know it's weird).
2. To use target
Using flash for the marquee sounds like a great idea, and will probably be more attractive. I couldn't find the search page you were talking about. Could you give me a link directly to it?

I think the problem here might have to do with the fact that your XHTML is invalid. Please run every page through the validator and fix all the errors. There are definitely elements on every page that have not been closed, and I think they are causing all the problems.

Well Christian, it is not a search page, is a search engine, you can find its form at the top of this page:

And the first time I looked at this site I didn't notice that the oval circlesat the animation on the first page were actually links to get in the
Oh wow, that page is going to give me a seizure. I can't look at it anymore. You were saying the client doesn't want to change the look of the site, because it has such a loyal user base. I think the users like the site because it is very useful for them, not because of the appearance. I don't
Hi Thierry, thank you very mutch!
I still dont know how to extend the DTD, but you are giving me very good reasons not even to try it. (I hate when things get weird :) ).
That's quite helpfull! There is always a good reason why experienced designers do not use some structures, I think I'll stick

The easiest way to fix it is to put the sidebar before the banner div in the markup (you dont need to change anything else, although I think you might wishset magins and paddingson the body to zero, it works ok).
But you should not have to change the markup to format the layout, so I think
Hi
I was wondering about the use of em's to determin your font size.
What is the difference between using em's or percentages?
Percentages work fine for me but W3C seem to be very enthousiastic about
using em's.
And another thing i can't figure out is this: what is the size of 1em?
Is it the
I believe the size of EM is the default size assigned by the browser, thus
if the browsers default font size is 12px then 1em is 12px.
Or if you set the
body
{
font-size: 12px;
}
and
p
{
font-size: 1.5em;
}
The size would be 18px.
Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but this is

I think he meant in the middle of his layout if he uses an em and
makes it bigger than the other text.
There is no problem with this if its a chunk of text but if you're
just using em as a single linesomewhere, then i'd say it was bad.

The big advantage of em over % for font size is you can use em to
control width of other sections of the web site like line length and
container divs.
An em is equal to the width of an uppercase M in that font face and
point size, except on the web it is 16 pixels or the if the font size
21 matches
