Twinsparc Tuesday April 6th, 2004
It's easy to forget that a powerful design doesn't have to be chock full o' graphics. Twinsparc lives up to their own credo of "Smart Design for Print and Web" by taking full advantage of web standards, simplicity and extensive use of white space.
Worth noticing: the 800 pixel high center column forces a scrollbar to appear for all pages. This effectively stops the content from "jumping" horizontally and provides a "frames-like" experience where only the content appears to be refreshed when viewed in a browser that auto-hides the scrollbars. Smart.
If you ever submitted a site to WSA you'd know that our own technique of forcing a vertical scrollbar is slightly more radical. :)
Hi,
The above is from the WSA, this is where I learned the technique, see the entry for Twinsparc.

Looks great in Safari. Nice clean design. Great work.
The site is not centering in IE 5 on the map. You have about 200px of white space between site and right border/shadow.
I'm interested to know CKIMEDIA is saying about forcing white space so that the site doesn't jump horizontal when a scrollbar is needed. I hat the jump. What's this mean? How do you fix it?

Hi,
Works good in safari, you could force white space so the site does not jump horizontal when a scrollbar is needed.

Damn, forget the rest of the site - put her as the only thing on the page
