Re: [WSG] Online shop package recommendations please.
Magento is great but has a high learning curve and not a lot of template options, free or commercial, at this point. If you need a very full featured cart, I'd use it anyway. If you need a basic cart use Zencart. If you only have a couple of items I'd use Paypal buttons.

Re: [WSG] Borders in liquid layouts
I've used this several times with success. It may work for you as well: Equal Height Columns (Project Seven) http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/css/pvii_columns/index.htm Frederick On Fri, Apr 17, 2009 at 12:38 PM, Jason Grant ja...@flexewebs.com wrote: I would bet on there not being a proper solution for this unless you want to start hacking around with some sort of JS based calculation solutions, which will only work for users which have JS on. I would go for the design with no borders basically. Often a time design decisions are impacted by limitations imposed by what web technologies are capable of doing. This is one of the reasons why most sites are not liquid layouts, and the ones that are have a very bland design by and large. Hope this helps.

Re: [WSG] Float falls outside of the wrapper tag
I was reminded that I should have posted the solution just in case someone else needs the solution. It was simple. It needed an additional CLEAR FLOAT tag just before the /div tag that ended the #wrapper layer. There was a clear float at the end of the content tag but not the wrapper tag. Its one of those where the template LOOKED nice but had some serious flaws. On Sat, Dec 6, 2008 at 4:30 PM, Frederick Matzen [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: Nevermind. I figured it out.

Re: [WSG] Animated gifs
You could try and redo the frame rate on it so that its not as smooth, which the client may not like, but it will cut down the file size. Or maybe look for a royalty free FLASH version that's similar. That would be much smaller. No matter what you try to explain to some people they just don't get that this sort of thing doesn't bring in sales. Its only cute the first time then its old. You could show him the site in one of the addons that show the different download speeds like dial-up then while he's watching it SLOWLY download explain he is losing sales prospects by the second.

Re: [WSG] SEO, fact or fiction
If you can't talk the guy out of it then try and get him to at least allow the USER to start the music.

Re: [WSG] will Eric Meyer�s C SS SCULPTOR put me out of job?
My opinion is that are tools to help speed up things that take a lot of time by hand. Like using Dreamweaver instead of Notepad to write web pages.

Re: [WSG] Back to the Future
As much as I would hate the idea, go old school completely. Forget CSS and use very basic HTML. Since you don't need anything fancy, don't use anything fancy. They won't know div from a table anyway because they need it work. Good Luck. Really it should be very easy!

It needs to be as simple as possible, so there's no really advanced stuff required and the design will reflect that. It's an intranet system, so only available to users with valid logins, hence it needs to work in a wide spread of browsers. My initial tests show that NN4.03 handles some CSS (float, background, border, font etc) but not some important things (list-style, margin and padding on lists).
