Re: [videoblogging] New FireAnt

alright! down with HTML tables! everyone should check out CSS Zen Garden if they haven't already done so, it's a great site http://www.csszengarden.com/ man, clint, she toasted your butt!  :) great feedback/comeback Jen Jen Simmons wrote: It's not that much more bandwidth to have two stylesheets -- I'm not talking about two different websites. A stylesheet is like 4kb -- smaller than one extra photo. Looking at your code -- you are using structural xhtml for a lot of the page, but then you've got a table in there for positioning. If you rewrite the structure so that the css handles _all_ positioning, and you have no tables / no html positioning, then the only thing that has to load different from one version to the other (web browser vs. Fireant) is to pull the appropriate style sheet. You can build the design so that the two versions show different content, even while they show the same htm file. A div can be showing and positioned in one place by one stylesheet, while being positioned in a different place on the other stylesheet -- or hidden all together. The trick is just to program something into FireAnt that triggers the alternative stylesheet, different from all other browsers. Looking at your code somemore... yeah, you've got a _lot_ of styling mark-up in your html. If you yank all of that out of there, and put it all in the external css file you'll see your bandwidth go way down! You've just got to get someone / turn yourselfs into someone who can code the layout by using 100% css positioning, and 0% html positioning, and pull _all_ styling out of the html mark-up and put it in the external stylesheets. Not only can you use two stylesheets for two different places (like full-screen browsers and Fireant), but you will be much further along in making the site compatible with cell phone browsers, and be in a great place to do visual redesigns without having to change your html markup on every single page. i hope this helps (and isn't annoyingly bold of me to tell you what to do), jen jenSimmons http://www.emergingawareness.org http://www.inclinationsthemovie.com http://www.jensimmons.com On Jan 27, 2006, at 11:50 AM, Clint Sharp wrote: Jen Simmons wrote: > Can you use two different css style sheets? -- Have FireAnt pull up a > non-regular-web-browser stylesheet that has a different layout of the > same content. > > jen We've done that before, but the fact of the matter we just don't have the bandwidth to maintain the layout for both.
