This website is aligned to the left, and designed for a fixed width of 1024px. *reads content* Yet again, we remember that HTML is liquid. Is supposed to be, wen is made fixed, is because compromises.

Infinite scrolling is not always evil. If you need to show a PDF document as a list of 200 high resolution JPG files. You can make the page height the resulting height if all the jpg where downloaded. But only download the JPG the user is looking at. If you try the naive approach,and create a html that links with <img> all the 700KB jpg files, the page will chocke for most users, because will ask for too much bandwidth too quick. And maybe the users only need to look at the first page, to confirm is interesting (maybe are books, and is the wrong book, or in the wrong language ). http://es.scribd.com/doc/6457786/Godel-Escher-Bach-by-Douglas-R-Hofstadter- By making a document become a computer program, we probably lose the ability to garantee it will end rendering before the end of the existence of the universe. But is often a good tradeoff. -- -- ℱin del ℳensaje. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
