Hi all, I was looking through the templates folder in look/www/overrides/templates and found the skeleton code for the OOo website These files contain the table code for OOo, and it is possible to get rid of it and finally make our website layout tableless. I was very careful not to 'break' anything, and made backups of all the files in case anything went wrong.
I brought this point a few months back and told me that it was soooo dificult. Since I am not a JSP developer I thought the template was embedded in the code like PHP usually handle things. Which btw is NOT dificult at all to read html from php.
This made me think, why has no one done this yet? There might be a very good reason for this, so I have isolated all the changes I have made to test.openoffice.org.
Java developers don't care about W3C. You can also see this on the Save your OOo document as HTML 4 with all their tags in uppercaps which is also not recomended.
You can see the tableless design in action at test.openoffice.org (I added an exception to all table code to exclude the test subdomain. We can phase this in gradually or in one sweep), as well as our new header (minitab replacement) in progress. The separation of the navigation bar (#navcolumn) and the content (#bodycol) is achieved with the same CSS technique as our wiki, so it should be fine in IE6 (for an example, see http://test.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectMailingListList).
Looks good too. in Opera and firefox, I dunno about dolphin, midori, or other webkit based browser yet.
Speaking of which, if we add an exception for the why subdomain so that CollabNet does not automatically add unnecessary code, we can finally launch the new why.OOo design because it will be compatible with IE6! Please let me know what you think about all this - i.e., are there any problems you envision if we go tableless?
Opera 7 -- things are fine and dandy here except for the obvious content being pushed by the left-side menu.
